About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To try the best cupcakes in every city of Vietnam.

ABOUT ME

I've been told I'm cynical, and sometimes even aggressive. I think I'm a little bit different around everyone, as its apparent that different people bring out different parts of me. I find it admittedly difficult to make a separation between the qualities I know I really have and the ones I am aspiring to have, and even those change almost daily.

PHILOSOPHY

Take it as it comes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host, surf, talk, eat, drink, etc.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used to host when I lived in the US, and I surfed all throughout Europe and a couple of times in Asia.

Interests

I love to knit, color, read, write, sing, watch movies and shows, hula hoop, aimlessly google, take brisk walks and long drives, drink ginger tea and black coffee, sit and stare at things and have long drawn out and horrendously detailed day dreams and fantasies about things that would never happen.

I also live for cupcakes, chili sauce and comfortable pants.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
Enter the Void, Planet of the Apes, Shawshank Redemption, Love Me if You Dare, Black Cat White Cat, Zoolander, Anchor Man, Bridge to Terabithia, Warrior, Shutter Island

Music:
Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Nick Drake, The Waifs, Sixteen Horsepower, Ani Difranco, Booka Shade, Beirut, Tallest Man on Earth, Beck, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Louis Armstrong, George Brassens, The Magnetic Fields, Aesop Rock, Dock Boggs, G Love and Special Sauce, and ya know what, honestly, this question drives me nuts because it basically means: how can I classify you based on your music choices? The reality is that I don't even know half the music on my computer and if its on there its because someone else told me about it or put it there for me and I thought sure why not?

Books:
Life of Pi, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, A Spot of Bother, Monster, The Glass Castle, Little Women, One Day, The Things They Carried, Room, Shutter Island, The Time Traveler's Wife, anything easy and cheesy, and I think hands down The Beach is the best book I've ever read and I can read it 100 times and still be enthralled.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Locking myself inside of an apartment in Paris for 30 minutes because I couldn't figure out how to unlock the door. The amazing thing is that I had to press a button.

Mountain climbing through rapid waters, thorns and perilous slippery drops of rock and moss to a huge natural cave in my cute little H&M shoes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to knit and sew and I would like to learn how to do more things on the computer.

Cambodia, Czech Republic, El Salvador, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom
