About Me

My life goal: being happy, sharing happiness and living a meaningful life I grew up in a small city of Vietnam. But I am so curious about the world and try to overcome so many challenges to be able to travel. Traveling was a life-changing experience for me. People teach me new things every day and show me how warm this world could be, regardless of brutality and chaos everywhere. I am currently studying in Copenhagen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People that I met from Couchsurfing and from everywhere taught me so much about life and I hope I have inspired some spirits too ^^

I am amazed by people that I met and shared lots of good time with my hosts and people I met at CS events. I still look forward to more :)

Inside Out, Catch me if you can

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

* Going to Nepal the first time alone to hike during rainy season
* Crossing cliffs of 15 cm width in a rainforest and somehow still alive...
* When I was 19, I managed a non-profit project that built 35 houses for poor families in the mountains of Vietnam who lost their houses after a big storm and was about to face the coming winter without a shelter. What's important was not only houses that got built, it's also my attitude to not give up trying even though many people told me it's impossible to do and no one had done that before. Since then, it never stops me when people say it's impossible/difficult/dangerous/stupid to do some things if I feel right to do so

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good time, good laugh, a positive attitude about this lovely world that we live :)
