I’m 24 years old, born and raised up in Norway with vietnamese background. I look at myself as an open minded person and a social guy who loves to talk and learn from other peoples experiences and lifestories, and I also like to share some of my experiences.

After I finished my bachelor’s degree in «Business and administration» in 2016, I took one year break from university before starting on my master degree. During this «break/free year» I did my very first backpacking trip alone, where my goals was to live my dream as a travelling photographer, just travel around the world meeting new people and different cultures while capturing memories, be inspired and most important pushing myself out of my comfort zone. It was during my this trip I discovered CS.

The great things about travelling is all the people you meet, the memories you share, and the friendships and connections you make around the world.

I’m currently doing my master degree in «Finance and Investment» as an international student at Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia.

I’m really looking forward in meeting new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I love the idea of travelling around like a local and the idea of meeting new people from different countries with different background than me. I think that we all have something we could learn and share to each other.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I met a girl through the couchsurfing hang out, and spontaneously joined her for climbing the alps in Germany, I was first not sure about joining her because I was going to Vienna from Salzburg the same day just later. But anyway I joined her and we took a bus around 1 hour from Salzburg to Germany, I wasn't prepared at all! Because climing the alps was never my plan, so climbed up the alps in jeans, pair of sneakers and a rain coat! During our way up we met one american guy and one irish woman, and togheter we made it up to the top! The feeling being on the top with 3 people you just met and everything was spontaneous was amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you want a new profile picture on facebook or just a portrait picture, I can take it with my camera! I can teach some basic photo techniques or guitar and piano. Share my experiences and culture, and also story telling if you're interested!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don't just want to be a guest but also a friend! I love to talk and I can share my experiences and my culture, I can show some photo tricks or guitar/piano, but the most important is that I want to be a friend.
