About Me

Currently living in HCMC and excited to explore Southeast Asia during my time here. Coffee in the morning and wine after 3 PM. I love hanging out with pets, people who like to explore and read, and itching mosquito bites. I usually travel alone, so I enjoy sharing stories and going on small adventures with new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of sharing spaces with other people who love to travel. During my first solo travel experience when I was a teenager, I stayed with a woman who decorated her house with beautiful trinkets from her travels. We hung out for a few hours over a cup of tea and I knew at that moment that I wanted to pursue traveling as my life passion project. Airbnb has become more corporate and disconnected from my initial experience. I am hoping that Couchsurfing can bring me back to the reason why I love traveling in the first place.
