- I want to live a life well-lived -

Currently, I am living in Vancouver, Canada.

I was born in a small hometown in the Mekong delta region in Vietnam. My family then moved to Saigon (or Ho Chi Minh city) a few years later.
I came to the US when I was 18 for college and have lived here ever since. While in the US, I've done a lot of road trips with my family and friends. I have traveled to most of America (40 states) with Utah being the most recent destination. I recently moved back to Ho Chi Minh city for 7 months before I make my next chapter in life in Vancouver, Canada. I would love to meet and possibly host some friends in my hometown.

I have also stayed in South Korea for a couple of summers when my father was teaching in a university in Daejeon.

My hometown is known for people with friendly smiles, hospitality, and kind-hearted personality. And no matter how far away I am removed from the Mekong delta, I still carry some of that background in me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling with the locals is always the best! How else would I know where the best local food is served! =D In addition, I love meeting new people and making new friends through traveling experiences.

Interests

Traveling, books, hiking, cycling, swimming, arts (oil painting)

Teach, Learn, Share

Curiosity has led me to many adventures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If I am your guest, I will be happy to share my traveling stories, knowledge in Vietnamese culture and language, my experience as an expatriate in the US and as a new immigrant in Canada.
If time permits and ingredients are available, I can cook up some Vietnamese dish. I am a total foodie and enjoy cooking (as long as somebody else does dishes)! =D
