Greetings fellow travelers! My name is Niki and i'm a first generation Vietnamese American based in San Francisco, California. My first experience solo traveling was when I **studied abroad in the UK. That semester I had the opportunity to explore the rest of Europe. I've been hooked on solo traveling since! So much so that I interned in Hanoi, Vietnam then proceeded to backpack SE Asia for an entire summer. Solo traveling has lead me to better appreciate and enjoy time in my own company whilst also teaching me to engage with the world around me and make life-long connections with other adventurers. When not living out of a backpack, I work full time as a critical care nurse to squirrel away money for my next trip.

** Not much studying was really done

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe opening your home to others is the most organic way to establish genuine friendships with other citizens of the world. Whether i'm playing hostess or guest, I hope to meet you!
