About Me

Hi ^^ I used to be a shy and quiet girl, but since I started to set a goal which is to get fluent in English, I have changed myself a lot. I have become more open to new people and new experience. I think I just have changed for better.

Most of my time, if i'm not at work, I listen to music and read books. I like learning about people and how they think, how they enjoy life. That's why I like meeting new people and making friends.

What I Can Share with You

- Smiles : ) : ) yah. Well and more
- A comfortable place to stay : )
- Shower, Wifi, meals
- My culture: customs, foods
- Knowledge about my country and my hometown
- If you like music, it's great! We can share our favorite songs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love learning English. It means a lot to me to practice it every day. When I was in Ho Chi Minh City, I often went to 23/4 Park to meet foreign tourists and talked English with them. Since I moved here, I had less chance . Or even I had, not all of them had time for me or we only can talk for a little bit. Couchsurfing is one of some good ways to make it more often.

Another reason is I love meeting new people. When meeting someone new, they somehow bring the world I haven't known to in front of my eyes. I think , if you don't have chance to get out of your town, let's meet everyone out there, get to know them, listen to their stories. The whole world can never be that near!

Also, I really want to share any chances I have to my students.Let them get to meet different people, get to talk, get to know everyone, which can encourage them to work hard more on their English or their life.
If you can make time for them, it would be nice. They love it a lot and will share with you any thing, take you out for food, play games, go to the beach...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- My friends and I started our own acoustic band.

- had one of my childhood dreams came true. I had my first summer away from home with ETA4 for full five- week volunteer work , lived and worked with volunteers from different backgrounds. That summer was fulled of love, joys and wonderful memories.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn and Share:

Currently,
- I'm learning about children's psychology and how to encourage them to be eager learners.
- I'm following minimalism and learning about it. Started with how to tidy up with Marie Kondo's methods.
- I'm reading a book called The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck. I was impressed by the tittle and just gave it a try.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My friends often say I'm a good listener, so I think this is what I can share with you.

If you're interested in how to learn a language or volunteer programs, I would love to share since I know many good internet sources related to study or volunteer work.

I like kids. Playing with kids or taking care of them does not matter to me. I also can help you with drawing, which is the thing I can do best. I don't mind giving you a hand doing anything as long as I can.
