LA ✈️ D.C. ✈️ NYC ✈️ New Zealand ✈️China

I'm a Vietnamese-American born and raised in sunny Southern California! I've lived in some of the biggest cities in the United States but constantly need to get away to travel and explore.

Currently traveling around New Zealand and really want to see everything that I possibly can (I did live here for 4 months in 2017)! I'm also hoping to create some lifelong memories (and friends) from my adventures :)

P.S. I am a HUGE Lord of the Rings fan! I've read all of the books and absolutely love the movies (The Hobbit was aight).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people and living the lifestyle of the locals! I'm also a huge foodie and you can't get more authentic cuisine then what's offered by the locals. To me, traveling isn't really traveling if you don't eat lots and lots of food! I'm definitely not a picky eater and will eat literally anything. My friends and family say that I've been bitten by a travel bug, but I honestly just want to create new memories and find a way to put my restlessness to good use!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I consider myself an entrepreneur and have started a few businesses, even if most have failed haha. Also, I've managed to live in D.C. and NYC in the States with full scholarships! I was in New Zealand on a research scholarship with the University of Auckland for 3 months in 2017.

Besides that boring business stuff, I've done skydiving, backpacking in Yosemite, exploring abandoned buildings, bungee jumping, and things that basically give me an adrenaline rush
