About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Destroy all monsters, befriend the rest.

ABOUT ME
Teacher in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

WANTED: new friends, great memories.

REWARD: a new friend, great memories

I'm 30, and full of a thirst for adventure. The world is my passion and I want to experience as much of it as possible. Along those lines I love people! My favorite part of traveling is always the people I meet along the way. I want to meet you!

A few of my interests: hiking, backpacking, space operas, crocheting/knitting, and all the usual stuff like movies and late night Mario Party parties. I love to cook, so fellow culinary adventurers are especially welcome on my journey!

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the present. Follow the golden rule (and then some). In order to learn you must first know what you don't know. Don't take life too seriously.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a host I'll preferably have enough time to give you a tour of the city if you're new, but often I'm quite busy and will more realistically only have time to chat over dinner in the evenings. I'm always thrilled to at least help you plan your itinerary though!

At the least, I'm gonna give you something to sleep in/on and a modestly clean place to do it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had a few experiences now and every one has been great!

Interests

cooking, "advanced" math, music (I play trombone), volunteering, food activism, sweet techie devices, dancing...pretty much all the usual stuff. I mostly just love trying new things so I've tried a lot in my life.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like it all. Favorite genres are sci-fi/fantasy, but I can cry my heart out during a Nicholas Sparks movie with the best of them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driven across the East-West in a one-shot go. No sleep for 36 hours in order to make our appointment at the slopes in Southern California. I went back later and hitchhiked the East-West route.

That's more than one thing, damn I'm a show-off.

Teach, Learn, Share

I always try to take my guests out on the town (or at least give them suggestions based on their interests), give them a locals tour of my beloved Saigon. I bet I can show you something you'll never forget.

I love cooking with surfers so I'm also always down to compare tips and tricks in the kitchen.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Saigon.
