CURRENT MISSION

Getting those creative atoms bouncin' round :)

ABOUT ME

This summer, I wanted something new. I quit my job in architecture and moved to Germany to pursue a masters. I hoped this would give me the opportunity to learn Deutsch, travel a ton and create a network of wonderful friends in Europe. So far, I'm off to a great start...

PHILOSOPHY

When I travel, I realize that people leave a deeper impression on me than sights. But when I see sights with people... it's kinda like an awesome double whammy.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Seeing how folks live and what brings them joy.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've heard really great things from my fellow CouchSurfer friends, but I have yet to lift-off on my own CS adventures. Personalities often shape my experiences of places... so I'm looking forward to meet a multitude of them :)

兴趣

Including, but not limited to... rock climbing, gymnastics, architecture/design, dance, cooking, music composition, biking, hiking, and theater. I used to perform with this kickass group:

音乐、电影和书籍

I'm a sucker for self-help/education books. So I tend to bury my nose in language books, cookbooks, sheet music, design publications, etc. As for movies, I love all kinds... except scary flicks :/

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

On my flight from Copenhagen to Athens, I met an amazing couple sitting next to me on the plane that, on my last day in Greece, picked up my friend and I... treated us out to a scrumptious traditional Greek feast, drove us to the site of the first Olympics ever, and then drove us to the site of the current Olympic Stadium (this was in 2004, when Athens hosted the Games). The guy was a structural engineer for the stadium, so he explained to us all the ins and outs of the construction process. After the whirlwind tour, they dropped us off at the airport and wished us well. Til this day, I have been humbled by their incredible spirits.

教，学，和分享

Although I grew up in and lived in California my entire life, my parents are originally from Vietnam. They fled a war-torn nation to give their kids a better opportunity in the States. Very grateful I am... and even more so that I'm able to embark on such great journeys far from home.
