CURRENT MISSION

Sightseeing is great, but my best experiences in a new place are the people I meet.

ABOUT ME

At the core, I'm a sociologist and enjoy all people because they tell me more about the world we live in but I haven't experienced enough of yet.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is interesting if you learn more about it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Want to meet good, nice people who like to enjoy the world for cheap while relying on other good, nice people to do the same. My roommate doesn't like the idea of strangers staying on our sofa, so for now, I'm open to showing people around SF.

Interests

All things race, class, gender. Technology, sports, stories, natural landscapes. I seek things that are unfamiliar to me, and things I've enjoyed for years.

• drinking
• technology
• sports
• history
• sociology
• sightseeing

Music, Movies, and Books

Revolutionary Road, Conversations with Other Women, American Psycho, The Ten, Best in Show, Mad Men, Catcher in the Rye, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Cat Power, Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Motown, 80's pop.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen: Bamboo Island off of the Ko Phi Phi Islands in Thailand was pretty amazing. I have no photos of this so I just trust my memory that it's as impressive as I remember it. Songkran (New Year) festivities in Thailand were also pretty ridiculous--an entire country in a water fight for days.

Teach, Learn, Share

Spend a lot time piecing together Vietnamese/American history.
