My friends call me Tru.

Stagnation makes me restless. Not knowing what's out there in the world makes me feel small, yet when I travel, I feel even smaller because there's so much to see. But that feeling of being small in a new place is inspiring, hopeful, and full of promises for new adventures. That's the feeling I constantly crave.

I was born in Vietnam. Moved the US when I was 12. Lived in Japan for 3 years. Moved to Hawaii in 2017. Now we are in New York while I study Architecture.

Simple things make me happy. I don't mind silence but would give up sleep for a good conversation.

I'm a little reserved and have serious case of "resting bitch face." But i swear I'm friendlier than I look :)

I dread writing references on here. How do you sum up an amazing human being in just a few sentences? So if we’ve met and you haven’t gotten a reference from me, i apologize. It will take me a while to find the right words.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life."
