About Me

I am an adventurer at heart. I am constantly seeking new experiences and opportunities to learn and grow. From serving in missionary trips, meeting new people, and embarking on exciting experiences, I love it all. I have an insatiable desire to not only meet new people but to learn about different cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I never realize my love for traveling until I planned a trip for my Youth Group to Brazil in 2013 for World Youth Day. I met so many people around world and was surprised how easy it is to make friends just through my faith. But it was the mission trip that we did in Manaus, Amazon that got me hook to the idea of traveling. Living with the villagers, cooking and sharing meals with them, helping them remodel their community house made me realize my other purpose in life. Being able to play games and sing with children on the island was the highlight of that trip.

I got fascinated by the stories from one of my best friends about his recent travel experience. I've been travel a lot within the US for the past few years and were able to meet with so many awesome people. They were not on couchsurfing. I knew them through my Vietnamese Eucharistic Youth Movement connections.

I'd love to meet new people at new places but I am a bit shy myself. Therefore, I always regret not being able to make many friends when I travel. Life is short and I want to make the memories last when I still can.
