I'm a Vietnamese college student currently studying in Saint Paul, MN, USA. I've traveled quite a bit, and always look for opportunities to have the best traveling experience possible whenever I have the chance.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

One of my biggest regrets about my previous travel experience is that I kept to myself too much: I'm slightly introverted, so I did not interact much with local people, which in retrospect became a missing piece in my understanding and memories of the places I went. I hope by doing Couchsurfing, not only will I have a great accommodation experience, but also meet amazing people that I would otherwise never have the opportunity to know!

兴趣

I spend most of my time (when I'm not studying I mean) browsing social media, cooking and eating food I like, browsing recipes to try new things, looking at some potentially interesting books, and making future travel plans whenever possible. I'm also pretty proud of the photos I take, thought I'm not a professional by any means.

音乐、电影和书籍

I'm pretty deep into K-pop and K-dramas, though I'm not a big fan of any particular groups, singers or actors. I listen to a fair share of US-UK music, and am willing to branch out to where YouTube and SoundCloud lead me to.

I almost exclusively read fictions. All-time favorite books include Harry Potter series, The Book Thief, I Am the Messenger, All the Light We Cannot See, The Nightingale, A Man Called Ove, etc. (yes most of them are quite depressing, unfortunately).

Movies...uh it's kinda hard to say, since I don't have a specific favorite genre. Rom-coms are okay, thriller -- it depends, no horror movies please, and I don't like superheroes movies (except for the X-Men series). Usually I find myself liking Asian movies more than Western ones, but it also depends.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Uhm...I find my life pretty ordinary, but I once got hit by a car (not my fault I swear – thankfully he braked in time), and I refused to get an ambulance because I was worried I would miss my bus...

教，学，和分享

If you're interested in anything Vietnamese (cooking, language, or just learning about the country), I'd be glad to help you. Play badminton, ride a scooter, take a decent photo, mess up with some computer software (I'm pretty good at figuring computer-related stuff), if any of that sounds good to you, let me know!

Honestly willing to learn anything and everything, because there's so much I don't know. Deeply interested in languages and cuisine, but if you know how to row a boat, or do first-aid, or dance any kind of dances, I'd be up to that too.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Conversations, jokes (I hope you find them funny, but I won't be offended if you don't), some Vietnamese souvenirs if you're interested, and stories from where I've visited. I also bake (though I have limited experience), so if you love cakes – especially cheesecakes – I'd love to share some with you.
