About Me

I am a travel enthusiast and an adventure junkie, I love visiting off-the-beaten track sort of places and would rather spend money on experiences, good food and wine than on a plush hotel. I love cooking, listening to music and hardly ever feel bored!

My aim is to travel the world, using teaching to fund my travels. I enjoy meeting people from all walks of life and feel that people teach us a lot about life and things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make new connections, share experiences and a good laugh.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is rather subjective, I'd like to think that everything is pretty awesome and amazing :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a kickass English teacher and TESOL instructor.

Want to learn about as many things as possible.

Share life experiences, a good bottle of wine and a laugh. I also know all the cool little coffee and brunch spots in Dalat.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Mad cooking skills and a knowledge of wine. Also anything TESOL related :)
