I grew up in Vietnam and currently study in the US for a math-finance degree. I however do my best to expand my interests wide beyond the degree I work on.

I love adventures, thus my passion for traveling and reading. I enjoy mindful conversations, singing and dancing, considering them important practices to enrich life.

Humility and gratefulness are essential virtues. Life amazes me everyday, and it's joy that I seek.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was advised that the best way to immerse into the local life is to get out of the "tourist's bubble" and actually talk to people.
I am THRILLED to learn from everyone I meet! A talk with a stranger can easily bring on new perspectives and knowledge, which is the best gift that an ever-curious person like me could ask for.
