CURRENT MISSION

Currently getting my Masters in Architecture, looking to travel and build around the world.

ABOUT ME

I've traveled or lived in over 25 countries. I've Couchsurfed a few times, hosted a couple of Couchsurfing events and made good friends through the community when I became an expat in HCMC, Vietnam. Currently I am doing a four-month internship in Dalian, China.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is more than just a free place to stay, it's a great way to get an insider look into a new place from the local's perspective and see and do things that aren't in every guide book.
