Hello! My name is Lynn. I was born here in Southern California, and love the warm weather, the beaches, and the laid back lifestyle that comes with it! I love meeting new friends from all different cultures and broadening my horizons.

I have recently decided to make travel a more important priority in my life! After all, why should I waste my all my youth at a desk in a cubicle, when there is a whole world to explore! I am still figuring out how to accomplish my travel goal, but Europe is on my to-do list this year! I have just visited Mexico and had a great time in the Yucatan!

I love learning- especially languages! I am trying to practice my Spanish and also to learn Italian, so let me know if you would like to chat sometime for practice or even if you want to learn anything about life in the US! My parents are from Vietnam, so I might be able to give you a perspective on what it is like being a Vietnamese American!

Studying science in school, I feel that I missed a lot of important lessons about history and world cultures, so if that is your interest I would love to hear from you!

I really enjoy great food from all different cultures. I am currently learning to cook more vegetarian and vegan dishes, and started to discover all the wonderful Vietnamese vegan/Buddhist friendly dishes! I would love to share recipes with you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really want to learn about other cultures, as well as meet friendly, tolerant and interesting new friends! If you are visiting LA and would like some tips, I would love to help you!

I also would like to meet you and learn what it is like living in your own beautiful city!

I am a little bit embarrassed to say I do listen to pop music, but its so catchy! haha.
I also listen to some EDM. I also love pretty much all movie/musical soundtracks, especially really sappy love songs!
One of my movies on repeat was Pride and Predjudice with Keira Knightley!
I love Sherlock (and Benedict Cumberbatch!)
