Hi there,

I'm a Thai-born Vietnamese. I came to the US in 2012 for school and have been living here ever since. Upon completing my degree, I moved to New York where I currently work in the arts. After having spent a semester in France as an exchange student a few years ago, I dearly miss it so I hope to move there at some point in the near future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and meeting people. Each person I encounter offers an opportunity for me to learn something new and to see the world through another set of eyes.

Interests

I love history, art, and architecture. If you want a museum buddy, I'm your person. I also enjoy cooking and bonding with others over food. :)
