About Me

A travel addict who seeks joy in meeting new people, learning new languages and understanding new cultures. A huge nerd for world cultures, histories, geographies and especially languages, I really love just explore different corners of the world, especially the more underrated and less crowded. I am currently a student who is studying Biology and French language, but now I'm vastly interested in language structures and how the human thought process gave rise to the diversity of linguistic forms around the world! I have lived in Saigon (Vietnam), Singapore and Paris and now I am back in the Durham, NC, USA to finish my studies!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scale Vysoké Tatry in Slovakia with fear of height (but I survived :D )

Teach, Learn, Share

I love languages and world cultures so I can share with you as much as I know about the diverse world we live in. My nerdy interests include capital naming, finding out random word etymologies or random global trivia. We can speak French or English or German or Vietnamese, or we can share with each other stories about travel and life. I'd love that. Being a student abroad, I can't host in my dorm but if you ever go to Saigon, Vietnam, I'll persuade my parents to host you. They are more than welcoming.
