Hi everyone,

I am Yen Giang, an English/Vietnamese language teacher. I am a newbie here by recommended from Uyen Nguyen who is a great travelling girl.
Uyen said " Traveling is the best education" and I totally agree with her. I realize that after every trip make me better by learning new cultures, making new friends with interesting locals or friends from around the world.

Need a LOCAL GUIDE ?
As a teacher,I have some great lovely students who are willing to guide you around the town to make friends with interesting people from different places and with different cultures. They enjoy learning English and being a guide can help them improve English in the fastest way. Feel free to ask me then I arrange my students to guide you.

Need ACCOMMODATION?

We prefer you to ask us last minute as we are also Airbnb hosts. We are not the owners of the apartment,but we rent this lovely place with dear rate that's why sometimes we need some small shared to cover the cost from Airbnb guests. Also can you please read my full profile and introduce a little bit about yourself before sending us a request then I can tell my partner about you. Lovely to meet you. ;-). Hope to welcome you.

If our room is available until 8pm. We will love to host you. So send us request after 8pm same day. We like this sentence from a "xe om" (motorbike driver) yesterday asking me for translation " Life is not only enjoying but also giving and sharing". That reminds me how to "give" or "share" our accommodation for nice couch surfers.;-).

Where I live,you will love it as I do. where there are outdoor pool and garden, downtown. it called City Garden, 59 Ngo Tat To,Binh Thanh. HCMC (5 stars standard). 5 mins to town. Ask me why if you are interested in.

I got a cute poodle puppy with pink ears, her name is Minnie and she is my everything. :) She is super cute, she will love you as she is super friendly, never bark. always in good manner as her mommy is. ;-))

I am an animal lover and 90% vegetarian. I love fruits, vegetable. I love Buddhism and learning about it.

I never smoke and rarely drink alcohol. If you prefer someone to drink alcohol with. Sorry I am not your favorite mate for this. :) What I can do is, sit with you, listen to your interesting stories and I drink coconut smoothie. :)

Well, it can be too much if I keep talking about myself. Please feel free to ask any question you may like to know then I will answer honestly. Or you search my name on facebook or google search engine.

Enjoy every single moment we have
