I grew up in Vietnam for 18 years, moved to Pennsylvania for college, and now about to start a new chapter in Seattle area as a software engineer. I’m passionate about discovering new things and meeting new people. To me, everybody has a thing I can learn from and I appreciate listening and sharing what I have (sometimes I’m a bit too opinionated, but working on that :)). My current goals are learning more languages (Chinese, Spanish and constantly brush up on French cuz there’re too many damn things to remember), become a better runner, teaching myself new technologies, and making meaningful connections.

Почему я на Couchsurfing
People on here are so interesting!
Музыка, кино и книги
My music taste influenced quite lots by my parents’ playing the radio to wake me up when I was small: Billy Joel, Scorpions, Beatles, BSB, Westlife, Celine Dion, but now also Gorillaz and Ghibli music. I don’t have Netflix, but that makes binge watching Black mirror an incredible experience— would love to do that anytime offered. Book-wise: Into Thin Air, Born a Crime, Homo Sapiens, The Godfather, Tuesdays with Morrie and currently, Educated are among my favorites.
Одно удивительное, что я сделал
During a week of spring break sophomore year, me and my friends traveled to 5 cities in Japan and saved a lot by sleeping on overnight buses. On a incredible day, we accidentally went from Kyoto to Nara for deer watching, went back to Kyoto for Fushimi Inari, are an awesome okonomiyaki dinner, went to an onsen (where I fainted in a hot spring— that came with free snacks from the host for all of the crews after) and ran to catch our bus to Tokyo that night
Учить, учиться, делиться
I can teach cooking Vietnamese dishes, how to cure hiccups in less than 2 mins, and how to jay walk in Hanoi with confidence.
Что я могу предложить хостам
I love cooking and sharing stories over a good meal. Always up for a walk or hike, and occasionally I’d love to come up with ridiculous and hopefully harmless startup ideas.
