Обо мне

CURRENT MISSION

Explore. Dream. Discover.

ABOUT ME

I am conveniently self-contained, covertly crazy and amazingly Asian (though for some confusing reason, I happen not to know any kungfu and have double eyelids).

I grew up in a country called Vietnam where I lived, went to school and passed some exams for some sixteen years. I then moved somewhere called England where I did basically the same thing, only in a different location. A few years later I decided that for a change, I wanted to do different things in different locations. And that is how I started to travel.

I was told by some psychic that in my previous life I was a princess from another planet whose mission is to find out about life on Earth, and in the process, blend in. I find it a convenient excuse for acting weird, getting lost in my own world and growing quiet sometimes - you see, I'm not originally from 'here', so please bear with me.

I have a super memory for recalling unnecessarily random and irrelevant stuff; yet I'm pretty much rubbish when it comes to things I'm-actually-supposed-to-remember, like, my phone number, which is a string of digits I have not managed to memorise for the past 3 years.

I love to break stereotypes in people's minds yet I also love racist stereotypical jokes.

I love to wear my flip-flops on the wrong feet sometimes, because it would be too boring wearing them right alllll the time.

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is what you make it. Always has been. Always will be."

“The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story.” — Chimamanda Adichie and her amazing TED talk, which sums up the main reasons why I travel http://www.ted.com/talks/chimamanda_adichie_the_danger_of_a_single_story.

"Twenty years from now you will be disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the one you did... Explore. Dream. Discover."

"There are no grown-ups... Everyone is winging it, some just do it more confidently".

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm travelling at the moment so in the next few months I will mostly be surfing other people's couch. But when I'm back to Vietnam and have settled down, a big fat yes for couch-surfing will come in due time I'm sure.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Still a newbie. To be updated soon.

Интересы

Eating. Stepping on crunchy leaves. A cool sea breeze on a sunny day. The smell of freshly baked cakes. Fresh air. Getting lost in a foreign city. Wandering a market collecting weird & wonderful stuff. Collecting magnets and postcards. Collecting music. Collecting stories & many of them. The colour green. Oh and did I not mention that I love food?

Музыка, кино и книги

I pick up music locally. I grew to love UK bands/artists like Coldplay, The XX, Lianne La Havas, Birdy, Katie Melua, Florence & the Machine... during my time there. And Diamond <3 - you really just can't help it after being in Tanzania and Kenya for a while.

Movies: anything where the characters are relatable enough not to feel like they just come straight out of a flat screen TV. One of my favourites is the triology Before Sunrise, Before Sunset & Before Midnight.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Bestival on the Isle of Wight to see the XX, Florence + the Machine and Stevie Wonder live.
Shaking hands with Prince William of England the day before he got married ;)
Gazing at the starry sky somewhere in the Saharan desert.
Being invited by a wonderful family in Edfu, Egypt to their home. They embrace the CS spirit despite not even knowing what CS is themselves.
Having supper at midnight by the highway on the way to Khartoum, Sudan. Best stew ever.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

As an alien from outer space (did you read lengthy part up there?), I'm naturally interested in learning about the way people think and act (so that I can copy and become one of them ;) ). Would be interesting if you're into psychology and can teach me something on that!
Or if you're a music junkie, you can show me some of your country's music (or any good music for that matter) - I would really appreciate it. Oh, and your language, of course! I love to pick up random words and phrases wherever I go.

I can teach you some Vietnamese, how to cook some Vietnamese dishes (provided ingredients are available - you know all those Asian noodle-y thingy...) and any other random useless things (that you might find useful) such as how to hold chopsticks the inappropriate way as I have done all my life.

Где я побывал(-а)

Belgium, Egypt, Ethiopia, France, Iran, Kenya, Netherlands, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Sudan, Tanzania, United Arab Emirates

Где я жил(-а)

Nigeria, United Kingdom, Viet Nam
