CURRENT MISSION Living by my own life style in this world .I am working here until the next year,wish to meet and help Csers in this world. Hello! I am a non-smoking global educator from China. I have worked in five different countries (Fiji, Thailand, Ethiopia, etc.) and lived in several cities in China, the United States,. I love to travel, a passion that began during my gap year trip to Europe when I was a cyclist for the "2012 London Olympics Low Carbon Expedition," cycling solo through the Vatican City, Italy, Switzerland, France, the United Kingdom, and Ireland, finally arriving in London. On my way to London, I was hosted by over 46 Couchsurfing hosts, not only to find accommodation or save money, but also to make more friends through Couchsurfing. I also started hosting Couchsurfing while working in Thailand from 2013 to 2014. I enjoy interacting with people from different backgrounds and cultures. I enjoy movies, symphonies, tennis, travel, biology, reading, and more, especially geography and history. I currently live in downtown New Orleans. My house can provide simple accommodation for 1-2 travelers. Guests can use the sofa in the bathroom, kitchen, and living room. Smoking is not allowed indoors. When I'm at home, I'll do my best to make you feel comfortable and at ease. We can share our stories and learn from each other. Life Philosophy The "on the road" lifestyle... Our lives are rich, colorful, and vibrant. Everything around us is interconnected with ourselves and our lives. The world is like a giant mirror, reflecting all our actions and thoughts. Everyone should strive to make their lives better and do everything in their power to change. Take responsibility for everything that happens in your life. This may seem idealistic, but if everyone starts with themselves, society will move in a better direction.

CURRENT MISSION Meet locals and enjoy a beer with them wherever I go. Also want to play pickup soccer in different places even though I am no good at it. When hosting, I want people to experience the best time in New Orleans. ABOUT ME I work in community development in New Orleans. I was born in Vietnam but have lived in New Orleans for over 27 years. I'm trying to do some more traveling and meet people from all over the world. In the past few years I've traveled to Asia, South America, and Europe. Just recently came back from a trip to Spain and Portugal. Growing up in the USA, many people have a fear of traveling, feeling that the world is not a safe place. But my travels so far have dispelled that fear. I've met great people from tons of different countries and have been able to connect with them and have realized that regardless of where you are from, for the most part, we share many things that make us human. These connections with locals and other travelers are what excite me about traveling, much more so than seeing sights and taking tours. Some of my favorite travels were when I went to Brazil for the World Cup and when I've met up with people that I've hosted in their home countries. In the near future I plan on doing a round-the-world trip and visiting countries and continents that I have never been to before. PHILOSOPHY People are nice all over the world and have similar goals.

CURRENT MISSION In Ireland right now!! Looking for friends to share filmmaking, music videos, dancing, music, stories 🧡 ——— Mostly looking to host other partner dancers, musicians and filmmakers ! Everywhere I go I am constantly testing my own artistic boundaries! ABOUT ME I'm on the constant lookout for adventure and I find it nearly 100% of the time! I'm a cinematographer/filmmaker and always open to discussing future projects and sharing past works. My major hobby is playing Music & Dancing ! I oft go swing dancing, blues, country, some improv etc. Now it's about making film work, music and incorporating dancing into traveling a necessity and staple in my life, so the journey goes on! PHILOSOPHY Live every moment to the fullest and now. Don't worry about it. Fight the Resistance. Be kind, you never know what someone is going through. Remain calm. Self-respect.

***NOTE: Because my wife is sick, we will be unable to host until further notice. I love learning about different cultures. I speak several languages, including French, Spanish and Russian (and in that order of fluency). I teach 8th grade social studies at a public middle school. I met my wife in 2001 at the Bourbon Pub in the French Quarter in New Orleans.
