I recently left my career in mortgage banking and have been traveling ever since. I went to a number of cities in Europe and Japan, and am now in Vietnam. I was born in the U.S., but my parents are from Vietnam and I have been here 6 times prior to this most recent journey. I plan on staying in Vietnam for the foreseeable future and hope to travel throughout southeast Asia and beyond while I'm here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it presents a unique opportunity to meet new people while traveling, beyond the typical backpacking scene

Interests

My favorite book of all time is the Count of Monte Cristo. I like to listen to reggae and old school R&B. Tupac is one of my heroes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've enjoyed hiking a few of the many 14ers (peaks over 14 thousand feet) in my home state of Colorado.
