I'm a medical researcher and ex nomad residing in Seattle. When I'm not busy with work, taking a long walk to the fridge is probably my favourite activity. My second favourite, however, is spending time hiking under the rain and enjoying what PNW has to offer. I'm not originally from Seattle but have lived in the city long enough to call myself a semi-local. Currently unable to host but would love to show you around!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard about this website from a friend when I was travelling in Vietnam and decided to check it out. I love being involved in a community with like-minded peeps.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I enjoy a wide variety of genres but music that I listen to somewhat regularly: disclosure, tchami, zhu, gorgon city, joy division, ex hex, washed out, rhye, grouper, tame impala, chopin, tchaikovsky, etc.

Books: I'm a keen and voracious consumer of Simone De Beauvoir, George Orwell, Kurt Vonnegut, David Foster Wallace, Nietzsche, and Susan Sontag but like to spice it up with the taut works of Cormac McCarthy and Schopenhauer once in awhile.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being able to live in and travel several countries before the age of 18 (cue my accidental nomad status)

Teach, Learn, Share

Growing up with Vietnamese parents has taught me to make a decent pho. I consider myself to be a culinary-driven person and look forward to learn more about other cuisine/culture.
