CURRENT MISSION

See all the wonders of the world

ABOUT ME

I was born in Vietnam, immigrated to the US when I was 15 and lived in San Diego, CA for 15 years. Then I moved to Memphis, TN with my husband for work. My husband and I love to travel and love meeting people who share the common interests of traveling the world. We've sailed across oceans on a 42-ft Catamaran. We've backpacked Baja California and Southeast Asia. Hospitality is in our blood. We love to share our traveling stories and hear other people's stories. I'm currently living by myself in a 1BR apartment right in downtown Memphis to be close to school. I'm going back to school for higher education. My husband, Lam, is living and working in San Diego. We get to see each other twice a year, during my summer break and winter break.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in couchsurfing by hosting, welcoming travelers to my home. Someday, hopefully in the near future, I may be on the opposite end, doing couch surfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not had any couchsurfing experience myself. Although I have hosted many travelers in the past. I've hosted 8 people who paddled down the Mississippi River from Minnesota to New Orleans, passing by Memphis for a short break. I've also hosted a student from Atlanta who interning in Memphis for a month. In the recent months I've also hosted travelers from England, France, Germany, Portugal, Australia, Canada, and of course the US, and enjoyed the experience very much.
