"An eternal tourist in this world."

I was born in Vietnam and came to the US when I was a baby. I've grown up most of my life in New Jersey. I'm easy going, spontaneous and open-minded. Traveling is my passion, food comes second.

I want to create and discover new energy with travelers from throughout the world.
