My name is Quoc! I'm currently an undergraduate senior at Pacific Lutheran University studying chemistry and biology on a premed track. I've lived in the Tacoma proper area for since moving to the US from Vietnam at a young age and know it like the back of my hand.

I enjoy meeting new people and learning about the places they've been and the places they're going to be!

I tend to be quiet and calm but get me talking about anything that sparks my interest and it's hard to stop me. I'm adventurous and open minded, and willing to try new and exciting things!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend recently referred me to it and I thought I would check it out. I enjoy interacting with new people and making new friends along my travels that I can share stories with and get to know better through shared experiences!

Music, Movies, and Books

I've been enjoying many different genre of music! The same goes with movies as I have a bunch depending on genre, Beauty and the Beast for Disney, Rush Hour for action, etc. It really depends on my mood as well since my movie choices changes quite a bit. My favorite books would be "The Emperor of All Maladies," "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Locks," The Song of Ice and Fire series, and many other fantasy style books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been fortunate enough to have traveled through my school and have been to Greece (Athens, Monasteries of Meteora, Rhodes, Symi, and Santorini), as well as Ecuador (Tiputini research station, Andean research station, Galápagos Islands, and Quito).

Teach, Learn, Share
