I'm originally from the US, and have been living in Vietnam for the past six years. I work as a product manager at a software company and teach yoga a few times a week just for fun. I work a corporate gig, but my heart is in wandering.

My job is pretty flexible in terms of location so I'm traveling quite a bit these days on "working holidays" (I work early in the morning to the early afternoon and have evening and weekends free to explore as I like). I like to meet up with Couchsurfers in different countries because I love diversity and hearing experiences from people from different backgrounds. As most travelers are, I'm open minded and welcome different perspectives on life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting interesting people, sharing stories, and learning about different cultures. I almost always travel alone so Couchsurfing is the best way for me to meet people when I'm traveling and get more of a local perspective about a place. I want to host to welcome people to my adopted city of Saigon, share insight, and of course to learn something from my guest as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

I LOVE to read. Homegoing is one of the best books I've read lately. All time favorites are Game of Thrones, anything Tahir Shah, and The Alchemist. Anything entertaining and not too serious. I like to laugh.

I don't like movies but I do like some TV series: Westworld, GoT, Handmaid's Tale, Grey's Anatomy, and Queen Sugar .

What I Can Share with Hosts

Gratitude, unsolicited travel advice, good conversation, and silly stories about living in Vietnam.
