I like to think I am pretty simple. I just like to relax and eat. I am pretty lazy at times...sometimes... most of the time. I like to cook, hangout with friends, watch movies, and go hiking. A good day for me is just a nice slow relaxing day, resting in bed or on a couch or outside with some food. I like to share food and experiences wherever and whenever possible. I like to hear other peoples perspectives and experiences, because I am always learning to better myself and to be better I need to accept changes. I also have some experiences myself I can share. I can speak English, Vietnamese, and Bahasa Indonesia. I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Indonesia teaching English at an Islamic Boarding school. I like teaching and learning. I joined peace corps as a volunteer because i like helping people and I wanted to make a difference in the world or in someone’s life. Now I work in semiconductor kind of like a corporate job.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I like to find a friend to hang out with while I am traveling. Traveling alone is difficult and only half as fun if you don't have a friend. Of all my travels, my experiences are always better with friends. Also I would like to know what it’s like to live as a local, although I may not be living there, I still hope I can understand or even imagine what life is like as a local. We can also share experiences of course and exchange culture and knowledge.
Music, Movies, and Books
I like all music except for country. I like all movies except for slow drama. I like documentaries, romantic comedy, comedy, action, adventure, and rarely horror movies... I can't watch horror movies alone..
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I survived Peace Corps. I did a road trip with my best friend across Vietnam, there were ups and downs but thats what makes it an adventure.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach English, and some some Bahasa Indonesia. I can share cooking skills/tips/recipes. I can teach some sports. And I can learn almost anything except chemistry and physics.... I’ve gain new skills since I last wrote this bio in 2017 and I have also forgotten a few skills as well.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I can share my life experiences, I have done many things but I don't know if they are all that interesting... you can be the judge and let me know. I can cook for my host if they want. I can somewhat entertain. I like coffee, tea, and seafood but not all at the same time😅
