I’m from Saigon, Vietnam with 10 years in the PNW. I just moved back to Seattle after a year in Destin, FL. I went to a liberal arts college for Studio Arts and Japanese north of Seattle and am always down for a conversation on design/visual and children’s books.

I’m currently a nail artist and hop US cities every couple months. A soul searching period, per se. So far I’ve lived in Destin, FL • Tampa, FL • Salt Lake City, UT • Seattle, WA. Planning for somewhere on the East Coast next. I enjoy getting exposed to different life stories and types of humans on this journey.

It’s a job where I get to meet so many new people with amazing life stories and enjoy it like a form of therapy. I’m working on going back to grad school, once I find a city or country I’d like to station in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In 2015 during college, I sent out messages here for a friend in need. The kind host turned into one of his closest friends and a housemate for three months. I want to pay the favor forward.

I also got to meet amazing couch-surfers who traveled to my home city Saigon, Vietnam. It was an incredible way to make friends and learn about different paths of life.
