I've been living in Vietnam for the past 4 years, teaching English and spraying myself with mosquito spray every day :) I'm back in the US for a few months and I wanna try something new. New places, new people, new food, and new bugs :)

I love to swap stories and even more so, I love to listen.

LIFE PHILOSOPHIES
1) We're all fundamentally the same. We all just want to love and be loved.

2) You are where you are because of the choices you made and continue to make. Take responsibility. Accept. Then move forward.

3) Anything you've ever wanted has always been right there waiting for you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've known about this site forever, and I guess the universe is telling me now's the time to saddle up and ride this thang. I've always wanted to visit the South and I've always wanted to try this site. This feels like the perfect pairing. Like peanut butter and chocolate. Or peanut butter and apples. Or pretty much anything with peanut butter :)

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC
I love anything Electronic. Who loves to dance? This guy!

BOOKS
The last eye-opener I read was Eckhart Tolle's "Power of Now". Seriously incredible.

MOVIES
I love sci-fi (Interstellar, Gattaca) comedy (LEGO movie, Dumb and Dumber) and yeaaaa, even some of the weepies like the Notebook :) Also, the Back to the Future series is just so classic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last year there was this sweet event in Saigon called Color Me Run. Technically it's a 5k run, but I guess we should just call it Color Me Walk :) The walking though was for a good reason. Because you're out there throwing wads of colored powder at everyone! - red, blue, green, orange, yellow. There's just mounds of powder being shot up by cannons at all these color stations, and you're scrambling around, picking up powder, loading it into your convenient event-provided fanny pack. Then you're off launching handfuls of powder at whoever's deserving of a good coloring!

And after the whole 5k part was done...there was a huge rave! Sick beats and a crowd all loose and ready to connect with sets of bumpin music. So. much. friggin. fun :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to share a relaxing presence, and comfort with just being who we are. Within that space of peace and calm I can show you how to shuffle. And make raw coconut date balls too :)
