Hello!

My name is Tommy Bui. I'm 18 years old. I began at an early age and currently a student at the University of West Georgia in the United States, who is studying English on a pre-law track. I was accepted at an early age (16), indicating that I have a higher maturity level and work ethic than most people my age group I'm an eager traveler looking forward to adventure and meeting new people. I am currently a student at the University of West Georgia, who is studying English on a pre-law track.

My love of travelling started at a young age, when my parents made it a goal to go to a new place every summer. My parents taught me that staying in hotels and doing typical tourist things do the soul no good. I can only recall once that I stayed in a hotel while travelling, and that was because my parents were friends with the hotel owner.

I think the most important thing to remember, when travelling, is to keep an open mind and always be willing to get outside your comfort zone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the best way to discover a country is to ditch the hotels and tour guides: instead, stick with the people who live there and experience life from the local standpoint. For me, Couchsurfing is the best way to do that!

Interests

In my free time, I enjoy playing guitar and piano, singing, reading, photography, and writing. I also enjoy playing and watching sports, such as basketball and football. I enjoy watching movies. But most of all, I love travelling. While most kids back home are relaxing at the pool, I spend most of my summers going to new places around the world. I also enjoy participating in Mock Trial, reaching 2nd in the United States this year.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy rock, rap, electronic, and pretty much anything else that sounds good. I love action movies. Being an English major, I have to love books, so if you've read it, I probably read it too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm backpacking Europe right now!
I have traveled a great amount of Asia, also.
I also have skydived and hosted my own charity concert for a friend with Crohn's disease.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
Being of Vietnamese descent, its always nice to strike up a conversation about my roots and the fun culture that few people have heard about.

Learn:
I want to learn how the people in countries go about their lives and see how different and similar their way of life is like mine back home.

Share:
I want to share the human experience of meeting new people with everyone.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I want to share the company and just basic human interaction with the hosts, while learning and exchanging each other's cultures during my stay.
