Cambodia-born, American-raised, (and hope to be globally-aged), recently finished studying abroad with Semester at Sea: Around the World, currently paying dues to some of the countries I didn't get to immersed myself in while I was with the program. Before I return back to the United States of America to finish my undergrad and begin to Ph.D., I learn from as many people as I can to strengthen my ability to learn, thrive and to be flexible as well as get inspired by people as I persevere my academic career.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel from port to port, from San Deigo to Hawai'i, from Japan to China, from Vietnam to Myanmar, from India to South Africa, from Ghana to Morocco, and from Germany to Denmark, I realized, some place more similar than others, but human interaction always one of the most important in my educational and personal growth. After studying abroad for three months, I learn how important it is for me to have a personal communication with those who live in the stay I am

While I'm in Europe I'm looking to travel and see as much as possible. I occasionally have friends to travel with, but I'm often out on my own. I am hoping to have the chance to share stories with the local as much as I could, and Couchsurfing is a really cool way to do that. Sure, I hope SC hosts that allow to entertain them with my corky personality and weird dance moves if I get the chance to stay with them. Hearing all my friend stories and how amazing each of their stays were so positive, I am intrigued and wishes my stay would be as positive.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I do know I am young and I hasn't had that many stories to share with anyone, but as an immigrant moving to the US at the age of 9 was somewhat complex, I would call it, but a few found it fascinating. They often amaze of multiple fronts of my struggles and my success. So, if anyone would like shabby and sassy stories I have plenty. In addition, I spent three-month study on a German ship, from port to port. While at ports, I able to visit countries like Japan, China, Vietnam, Myanmar, India, Soth Africa, Ghana, Morocco. There I learned so much both from classes I took on the ship and on my personal excusing as I try to immerse myself into the local community like the reserve community of Japan, the world largest human migration of Chinese New Year, the booming economy of Vietnam, the opening door of outside in Myanmar, the vibrant cities of India, etc.
