CURRENT MISSION

Exploring new places, new people and currently, learning American culture!

ABOUT ME

I'm friendly and open to every life's experience. A Vietnamese student coming to the U.S for education, my near future's goal is to visit as many as possible places, meeting different people, trying good food there, and continuing to learn American jokes :D A typical Cancer person (horoscope sign, not disease!), I'm a romantic, caring and loyal kind of person, just a little bit quiet sometimes.

PHILOSOPHY

"Stay hungry, stay foolish."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to Couchsurfing, and I hope to increase my experience during my four years of college and beyond!

Interests

Traveling, of course :D I love visiting new places, meeting new people whenever I have free time. In academic, I love studying Business &Economics, Media, Marketing, and Arts (kind of combination of scientist, businessperson and artist)
As an amateur artist, I love drawing since I was a child; and after having seen a grand piano for the first time in my first year of college, I started to learn to play it. Learning to play the piano is hard but really fun!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. Coming to Times Square for the first time! My friends all said that they were disappointed by the smallness of this place compared to the other famous square; however, I was just amazed by the many huge flash advertising boards displayed there. I fell in love with Times Square's colorfulness, dynamic and diverse environment, and of course, the wonderful Broadway theater.
2. Snow moments: I came to Michigan during the winter break of my first college year. As a tropical born girl, I was really left awestruck when the plane landed - just a totally winter wonderland! And I came to know that the snowflake actually looked like a complex flower, not just decorated & invented by people's mind :) Then learning ice-skating at the Rockefeller square was definitely one of my greatest moment, how wonderful it was when I can kept balance and walked and "slowly ran" on the ice after many times falling down.
