ABOUT ME

I got started with traveling in my early twenties when I lived in Kenya and traveled throughout East Africa. I worked as a musician in the past but I now work as an English teacher in Vietnam.

PHILOSOPHY

I studied philosophy in college, so I guess it would make sense for me to have some kind of personal philosophy, but I'm not sure I do. Maybe I should just call myself a doubter. However, I can say that travel has been a huge part of shaping my life and it would be a pleasure to help fellow travelers have a great time in my city.

O Que Posso Compartilhar com Anfitriões

music, conversation, sense of humor.

I love to talk about books, music, history, international politics, science, etc.

I also love to play word games (Scrabble, etc.)

I am pretty close to being an expert on Cambodia, as I lived there for 3 years and can speak the language. If you want to know anything about Cambodia or learn some Khmer, let me know!
