About Me

I’m a foodie who loves cooking and gardening. I express myself with colors and you can learn a lot about me through the music I listen to. Connecting through food brings me joy and traveling is a gem in my life because I learn so much about cultures and get to expand my mind! I’ve been taking the time to travel the world and learn new perspectives. I enjoy going to music festivals and concerts.

I recently graduated with a Business Marketing degree, so I can help with anything business. Beyond that, I spend a great amount of time cooking and am a beginner gardener with a love for indoor plants as well!

My first art medium of photography manifested at 11 years old. I’ve explored various mediums since then such as painting, fashion, videography, and poetry. Ultimately, I’ve been doing film photography during my travels. My work is inspired by community, nature, and travel and I’ve collaborate with my community to cultivate safe spaces for creative expression. I’ve done various painting projects and am always on board for any visual art.

I’ve been a nail technician and detailed nail painter for 8 years. I also have minimal hair cutting experience. I have 4 years of experience working at daycares and babysitting from infants to teenagers. I am fluent in English and intermediate in Vietnamese. I’m open and willing to learn new skills at all times.

Recently, I have been studying more about herbalism and plant medicines. Learning about new lands and how humans and animals can heal through the natural world around us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here to connect with fellow travelers and hosts. As I begin this post graduate journey, it’s important for me to tend to certain lands and learn from all the ways of the different people who inhabit them. I’m looking to gain deeper spiritual understandings about the earth. I’m also seeing which places resonate with my soul’s purpose through doing grid work.

I appreciate connecting with whoever’s soul purpose aligns and am curious student of life. Couch surfing is a great way to connect with people on a deeper level.

I’m quite new to the platform and testing it out before I verify myself (hence the lack of references). I’ve been using Workaway for my travels and am branching out to new sites.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love R&B, but am open to all types of music. High vibrational and heart/medicine songs are prevalent in my life. I appreciate pop, electronic, indie, alternative, rock, hip-hop.. really the list goes on and I would love to hear the music you listen to! I just recently learned contact improvisation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently, I’ve been photographing women’s retreats and overall helping the community in facilitating these gatherings. It inspired me to recently volunteer my time at a Buddhist Temple.

Teach, Learn, Share

Through the school I volunteer at, I’ve learned Ancient Egyptian Healing and would love to share the energy healing work I’m experiencing. I’m open to all teachings and love sharing reciprocal energy.

My intention is to stay in my heart center and spread love and liberation wherever I go, that’s what it’s really all about yeah?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share all of my loves and passions; from art and cooking to roller skating! I’m open minded and have many interests that can be explored in our connection.

I’m always open to energy exchanges and as a surfer, I’m available to share any insight I’ve gained in life so far. Through both of our interests, I’m sure we can find the many passions we can explore and share together!

I’m in flow with the universe so I’m in flow with you as well
