Left my birthplace, Saigon, Vietnam at 18 months, an army brat for my most of my youth, and a world traveler by choice for a lifetime. Brooklyn is my chosen hometown; I lived there for over 12 years until 2012. There is nothing I own that is as rich as my experiences and memories of my travels, the people I meet, and the connections I've made. This has enriched my life and fed my soul and I am always hungry for more! I’m a proud queer Asian.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few things that stood out for me: was moved by the Pope on Easter Sunday Mass at the Vatican and I'm not Catholic nor Christian. I was caught in a tear gas bombing in Seoul during rice price riots. I smoked up with Bebel Gilberto in a restaurant in the West Village. I owned the most popular food truck in DC. I’ve lived abroad in Stockholm and Tokyo. I have seen breathtaking sunrises and sunsets that make me feel as large as the universe.

What I Can Share with Hosts
