CURRENT MISSION

To be a traveler, not a tourist

ABOUT ME

Van grew up in Vietnam and a spent a little time in NYC but she's been in Indiana for the past decade (wow, sounds like a long time). She is currently in school, which takes up most of her time. Greg grew up in Southern Indiana. We met in a little college in Southern Indiana called Hanover College. When we get a chance, we love to escape the Midwest. Van has done a lot more travels abroad throughout her childhood and college. Together, we have traveled mostly in the US. In the past 3 years, we have gone to New York City, Chicago, St. Louis, Denver, Boston, DC and Florida. As students, we always travel on a budget, but we would rather travel now when we're young than wait until someday we're older and cant do as many fun things. We hope to explore and experience more places and meet more people.

PHILOSOPHY

To travel is to live

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We are out to meet people and build friendships with people we wouldn't normally meet. I think the places that I've had the most fun at are ones where I can experience the place with people in the area. It's not just about seeing the sights.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We've surfed 2 couches so far. Great experiences both times.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
