Hi! How are you? My name is Trang Luu, and I am in my last year at MIT studying mechanical engineering. Throughout my college years, I have been chasing the thrill of being outside my comfort zone and just simply, living. My research in engineering for the developing world has taken me to Kenya, Ethiopia, Thailand, and India. I like challenging myself to go to difficult places and solve real problems. However, I think I'll like to take a quick break and just travel for fun, to meet friends, and to have incredible unforgettable adventures. Oh! I'm also learning Spanish and I speak fluent Vietnamese and English.

I also make travel videos if you want to check them out:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm a pretty intense person and would love trading adventure stories with you in person.

Teach, Learn, Share

To be honest, I have never been more privileged in my life. I feel like the world is my oyster and I just can't believe that this is the life that I have now. I didn't grow up with much, so I have never needed a lot. My favorite saying is never let not having enough be the reason to do nothing at all.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great conversations. Good/bad jokes. A good time
