I grew up in California, went to New York for a few years (school and jobs) then moved back to LA for another year. After that, I moved to Vietnam to teach English for a year, living in both Hanoi and Saigon. I have been all around Southeast Asia and love learning about the cultures and daily life of each place I visit.

I live in Astoria and love showing people around my neighborhood!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting and talking to locals. It helps me gain perspective and also keeps me away from the typical tourist track!

Interests

I am currently reconsidering them right now, but in general I enjoy photography, art and film.

Music, Movies, and Books

Always changing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I attended the parade for the 70th anniversary of Vietnamese independence. Torrential tropical downpour mixed with militaristic nationalism - only in Vietnam.
