Currently on a 6-year round the world dream trip starting in South America. I want to see how I change if remain outside of my country for an extended time.

I am passionate about writing, eating, and surfing. I am currently based in Vietnam, a great place to do all three 🌊

I love living a healthy, active lifestyle and helping others do the same. As a traveler I strive to learn the stories and customs of people from all over the world and to share meaningful memories with them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To understand the local culture and seek adventure away from tourists. To make new friends around the world. To travel and take in my surroundings at a slower pace. To have a deeper experience.
