I’m a teacher of English in Vietnam and of Vietnamese in Wisconsin. For now at least.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

2 broke 2 airbnb. JK though, I’ve been told by some people that Couchsurfing provides a human experience more than staying in a hostel where everyone minds their own business. I mostly start my travels alone, but wouldn’t it be lovely to end it with someone?

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a few fail-safe Vietnamese dishes I can teach you.

Vietnamese - the language. I specialize in swear words, gay slangs and internet speak.

I can do almost every Gaga choreography.

Have a Pokemon Go account I can trade you regionals from Asia! (Torkoal, Volbeat, Corsola)
