Brief about me:

Introvert Wanderer who is passionate about food, culture and history
Nature lover

I can consider myself as a late bloomer. My first self-sufficient abroad trip in 2017 when I was 28, its kinda late because I made priority to explore domestically first. Then, my abroad trips were through 2017 until 2020, right the time pandemic came.
Suprisingly, have been knowing this community for a decade but I just returned accidentally to make an account here last year 2022. Its suitable time for me to get back into not-my-country trips to explore outside my region in 2023. So Im still rather new here because all my trips were before Covid 19 came.

Im Xuan Nguyen - a 100% Saigonese who is proud of being born here and is still living in this city. Living far a bit from center of Saigon (27km to center) but Im eager to meet new friends on this Couchsurfing community. Thats a big reason I am here to connect people, introduce how beautiful and friendly my place is.

I work in Human Resources field. However, I can arrange to take you some famous or not yet famous places if you tell me in advanced. I will arrange my time properly and my bike if possible.

*** Next journey:

El Nido - Philippines

Indonesia
