After graduating college I decided I wanted to see more of the world before i began a career or started a business. I quit my job in 2015 to travel Southeast Asia for 7 months. It was the coolest experience of my life! I saw some amazing things and made a lot of life long friends on my trip. I hope to find a job or start a business that will allow me the time to travel often. You can follow my travels at travelwithvance.com

In 2016 I ended up moving to Cambodia to open a bar and am now teaching English in Phnom Penh!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend I met in Vietnam introduced me to the site. It was amazing being able to meet so many locals during my travels. I hope to make more friends in future cities I visit and experience the culture from a locals perspective. I like to see stuff off the beaten path, try new things and learn new words in your language.
