I am a lifetime artist/musician that became an educator and have been teaching English in Asia for more than seven years. I live in Vietnam and enjoy sharing some of the hidden wonders with friends and guests. I am a friendly, laid back person who also loves traveling and meeting new friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This community is a unique phenomenon and it challenges us to live up to the roles of good host and good guest. It makes hospitality very easy. I want to go more places and share my city with new friends.
