CURRENT MISSION

I'm on a mission to find cheap, delicious, food; build callouses on my feet, put a good wear through my tennis shoes, and to fall in love with a new place.

ABOUT ME

I'm Amy, raised in a semi-traditional Vietnamese household in Seattle, Washington, ended up being very non-traditional. Still trying to figure out what I want to do with my life, looking forward to making many mistakes along the way, hoping to have some fun in the midst of it all, and seeking to learn something new everyday. Oh, and I love to cook and eat, especially with others.

PHILOSOPHY

You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't, so you might as well do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couch surfed twice in Paris and they were great experiences. It's nice to be around locals who know a thing/place or two about the area and can give you great suggestions about what to do, where to go, and great eats. I'm looking forward to surfing some more in the future, in the meanwhile, I'm open for grabbing coffee and hopefully I'll get my own place sometime in the near future and start hosting soon!
