I am from Texas, USA. I grew up in Vietnam and moved to the US when I was 11, so you already know I'm a well seasoned traveler at a very young age, more season than the steak you ate last night.

I am an extrovert, talkative, joyful, goofy, and sarcastic. I like to go on adventures, meeting new people, and trying out new food. I love being outdoors, learning cultures, and obtaining insightful perspectives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling! I remember working for an airline and traveling all over the US and the world in the weekends; it was absolutely thrilling! Honestly, that's where it all started for me, realizing that the world and the people are too beautiful and lovely not to be explored and encountered, with the desire to experience the grant gifts that we have in life.

I am on couchsurfing to experience with others the simple joy in life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with sharks at the Belize Barrier Reef, without a shark proof cage.
"Try to stay over here in this water, there are bull sharks over there." - our guide. We were in the same body of water, and I remember bull sharks can also swim...
Also, I saw two manatees there at the BBR. They were mating though, and the male was chasing me away. Was just curious, my parents never gave me the talk of how baby manatees come about. Sorry bro...

What I Can Share with Hosts

There's this secret recipe invented by the cavemens, perfected through centuries of human existence, lost in the Great Flood but recovered by the first dove sent out by Noah, hidden by the Chinese among their treasures but was given to the Vietnamese as a recognition of their independence. It was burned during the Tet offensive of the Vietnam War, but was retained through the gifted memory of my grand father. At this death bed, he recited the recipe to me saying "son. this. is. the. secret. to. happiness."

If I could open my own restaurant with just the food that this recipe makes, I would be richer than Donald Trump right now. But lets be real, I would like to share with you this famous noodle omelette from the 2 million year old recipe, if you dare wanting to experience the ephemeral bliss that it produces (yep, it's that good).
