CURRENT MISSION
"Life is too short. But if you live it right, one is enough."

ABOUT ME
I love every aspect of globalization, especially international businesses and cultures. I am full of energy, thoughtfulness, and a little flare of sarcasm. Knowledge keeps me alive because I always find the joy in understanding and appreciating other perspectives rather than mine.

PHILOSOPHY
"Vạn sự tùy duyên" - What meant to be will be....

"Je vis ma vie, à ma façon" - Live my life, my way...

"O mundo é um livro e quem não viaja só lê uma página" - The world is a book, and who doesn't travel only reads one page

"Umění je pliveno ze všech stran, aby nikdy nevyschlo" - Art is spat upon from all sides so that it never dries out

"V živote niet nič dôležitejšieho než čas, kto utráca čas, utráca život" - There is nothing more important in life than time. A person who spends time, spends life (Jan Amos Komenský)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just randomly read some articles about a backpacker and got hooked with the idea

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Welcomed by two different hosts in Atlanta for the first time and enjoyed it very much.

Spring/Fall 2019 - my two very special experiences were with Rosario in Santiago, Chile, and also Danny and Guillermo in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Winter 2021 - Spent time with a Quebecois family in Montreal - eating poutine, touring Mt. Royal, and snow-tubing in Piedmont

Fall 2022 - Showed Luan, my Vietnamese host, how to "salsa" and "bachata" in Rio club, in Calgary!

Summer 2025 - Went to Basteibrucke in Saxony Switzerland and participated in block-party hangout in Dresden

Danced Afrobeats with Arian in Budapest's ruined bar

Learnt more salsa and bachata skills from parcera colombiana, Genesis, in Tirana

Spontaneously joined a ride with Pinoy Ate, Aimee, from Abu Dahbi to Dubai, and back. A 'mad' carpool!

Motorcycle-pooled and 'officially' took salsa class with Emin in Sarajevo, Bosnia

Vespa-ing with Luca through charming streets of Toscana and indulging in Chianti 🍷

Dec 2025 - Driving down the Southern side of Jordan while learning to speak Gulf Arabic with Mómen and jamming to Arabic music in the car

教，学，和分享

This is the beginnings of the future Couchsurfing University where everyone is a teacher and student at the same time. Surfing isn't just about a place to crash, but an inter-exchange platform. From theory to practical skills, I may have some special knowledge that others will benefit from knowing.

I use 4 languages interchangeably and am more than happy to communicate and learn from you. French is my recent added language to master and communicate on regular basis :)
