About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore as much of the world as I can! can't stop, won't stop.

ABOUT ME

I was born in Vietnam and I moved to the United States when I was 8 years old. I am a big Lord of the Rings nerd. It may be from Lord of the Rings that inspired me to go beyond my means. To be out of my comfort zone and go into the unknown. Also, to have an adventure and learn all that I can about the world around me. I love doing volunteer work, I've done many projects over the years. The one my most proud of is Habitat for Humanity Global Village project in Vietnam. I learned a lot from working with underprivileged people, the most important lesson was to look at people with not just my open eyes, but also with an open heart.

PHILOSOPHY

'All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.'- J.R.R. Tolkien

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to be more involved with the locals from around the area of which I plan to travel to. I think the best way to learn about a culture is through the local people and food!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My roommate in college was a couchsurfer and we hosted some people in our apartment before.

Interests

I am interested in local music scenes, historical monuments/areas, scenic hikes, cultural food and activities.
