Hello, my name is Julia but my friends call me Mai!
I'm doing some work at UC Davis, it's a research university near San Francisco.
My friends call me the Sacramento Tour Guide and the Norcal foodie, I can give some interesting recommendations if you're visiting that area!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, but I'm transitioning from a student to not a student. My friend also uses this site and recommended it!

Interests

I love traveling, I studied International Development to learn how to contribute to improve societies all over the world.
I LOVE FOOD. It's my passion, especially vegetarian food. I study seafood production, so I like to eat seafood occassionally.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music, but classical and house music are my favorite I think.
I'm not a big movie person, mostly documentaries. I read a lot, I love philosophy and adventure. (I love Harry Potter, but my favorite is The Great Gatsby.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Panama and paid a lot of money to work hard labor in the Jungle for a week near the Columbian Border with indigenous peoples.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some Northern California Slang! Also, basic Vietnamese phrases.
I take pictures sometimes too, if you want to share

What I Can Share with Hosts

I usually bring a treat from my region or university, it's a great place!
I like to meet new people, many say I'm outgoing and very friendly.
