CURRENT MISSION

Live life to the fullest.

ABOUT ME

I am originally from Vietnam, came to the US about 6 years ago, and currently reside in sunny South California. I'm lucky to have been able to travel around the US quite a bit, and love this country! Hopefully soon I will be able to expand my travel to worldwide.
I'm really into healthcare, since I graduated as a nurse, and actively looking for opportunity to gain experience in acute care setting.

What else can I say about myself... I believe that "Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do," so I'm trying to live so that I won't have that many disappointments later :)

PHILOSOPHY

Hold hands, not grudges.
There's a will, there's a way.
There are no failures, just experiences and your reactions to them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to CS, and excited to learn about how this community works. I promise I'm neat person and I will clean up after myself if I stay at your place. I don't smoke.
Right now I don't have my own place yet, but when I do, I'd be happy to host Couchsurfers. I'm up for coffee or drinks though.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've heard great things about Couchsurfing. I have a friend whose Grand-Europe trip was made possible because of CS, so I'm interested in getting started.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've traveled half-way across the world by myself at the age of 17.
I've learned 5 languages (but sadly I can only master 2 and still learning the others).
I've only snowboarded 3 times, but it's gotta be the most amazing things I've done! I'll have to do it every year from now on! Oh and ice-skating too!

Teach, Learn, Share

When we're willing and patient enough to get to know and understand others, we'd realize that we're more alike than different, and that closes many gaps between people. Then, hopefully, we'd have a brighter, more gentle, and more optimistic view of life.
