CURRENT MISSION

Connections are the spice of life

ABOUT ME

Enthusiastic, friendly Texan-Vietnamese American.

Meeting different people with different cultures excites me! I spend my time discovering new things I can learn....particularly random things that are different and unique. I practice Iyengar yoga and make glass art...having the time of my life exploring different things :)

I can always have a great time whether I'm having a few beers with close friends or dancing the night away with strangers. I adapt well and crave new experiences.

I LOVE ethnic foods and try to experiment with new foods. Just ask, and I will tell you everything about a restaurant that sends my soul floating to heaven!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got a second chance at life. Learned how to walk, talk and live life again.

Climbed a volcano in Guatemala

Ate some ants/hung on a vine in the Amazon

Swam in the volcano craters/ate cuy! in Ecuador

Climbed a mountain in Vietnam!

I once was asked by a Mother (nun) to be a Sister in a convent secluded in the mountains of Nice, France. They sang all their prayers and made chocolate to get funds. I politely declined but still think back on the most delectable chocolate mousse I have ever had. Boy, could they make chocolate mousse.
