Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think meeting locals is the best way to experience a new place. I have many friends and relatives who have used couchsurfing and absolutely loved it. I want to meet people from all over the world, share experiences, culture and food and hopefully create great memories and friendships.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a pretty eclectic taste in music, I would say my favorites genres are classic rock, funk and hip hop.

My favorite directors are Wes Anderson and David Lynch. I really enjoy watching documentaries as well.

I like reading autobiographies, dystopian novels and funny books.

(I don't mean to be so general but I have a hard time picking favorites, who doesn't?)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to Hanoi from the US never having traveled abroad alone before. I didn't know anyone there and did not speak a single word of Vietnamese. I was so nervous at first but I ended up making some amazing friends and pushing myself completely out of my comfort zone. It was a life changing experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about my culture and language and I am eager to learn about yours! I absolutely love trying new food and am always excited to learn about the local cuisine=)
