Hey there! I've chosen to go on the path least taken in my life. I get along best with interesting people who are super curious about life. I like people who like to learn and like try new things.

I moved to Portland from the east coast (Ohio, Florida, and Pennsylvania). For the past couple of years, I have traveled to a few places including Vietnam (I was born there), Guatemala, Italy, UK, France, Dominican Republic, and Canada. I love being able to hear people's stories and experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people, hear stories, and share experiences. I'm always curious and constantly open to new experiences so please feel free to share and teach me something and I'll do the best for you!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to speak Vietnamese, how to start a tech startup, how to play tennis because I use to be a tennis coach, how to snowboard, how to cook Pho, and more (just ask!).

I would love to learn how to speak French, Spanish, or Italian, I would also love to learn how to play the piano, how to cook different foreign dishes or cook better.

I can share mostly anything with you! I can show you all the 7 Wonders of Oregon (Google it), where the best bars are in Portland, a car (in Portland), and tons of books!

I can cook, share books, and take you out to get great food!
