Proudly born and raised in Canada. I love travelling and my job allows me to see the world little by little.

I am Vietnamese. I love pho and could eat it every day. Favourite meal, however, is grilled cheese and tomato soup. Love spontaneity and random occurrences. I have a genuine curiosity for the world and if travelling didn't require money I would be travelling all the time! Even though I say that, one of the best feelings is definitely coming home. I love Canada and everything it has to offer.

Up next: NYC, Africa.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new people and to be adventurous! The point of travelling for me is to get away from routine, monotony and predictability. I want to explore and what better way than to learn from the experts :) the locals!

Music, Movies, and Books

Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Fault in Our Stars, La La Land. Don't judge me but Mean Girls and Rat Race. A movie that makes you laugh every time? Yes!

I listen to most types of music as long as it doesn't sound like the artist is yelling at me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Booked a last minute trip to Europe and left within 24 hours of doing so :)

Sky diving in Portugal (and twice in Canada!), hot air balloon over Cappadocia in Turkey, camped at the foot of a waterfall in a camper van underneath the northern lights in Iceland, hiked a volcano in Hawaii.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always striving to have the right attitude about everything in life. No matter how hard, how sad, etc, 10% of life is what happens to you and 90% is how you react to it. The energy you put out there is generally what you get back. I always smile :)

I love hearing other people's stories. It's one of the most humbling things to hear people's challenges and how they've overcome or trying to overcome. I've learned most about myself and life in general thanks to travelling and the people I meet along the way.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happy and positive presence :) love meeting new people, creating memories. I love being spontaneous and trying new things. I have a bucket list written down that I carry with me. If you like random things too then you can help me cross off an item! Listening to people's stories and experiences and sharing my own if you want to hear.

If you're not the sharing type then well you're also in luck. I'm pretty funny. Like comedian funny. Like... 100% joke success rate funny (when I'm the only one in the room). Which leads me to my next point, I can laugh at myself therefore, I'm pretty chill I'd say :)
