About Me

ABOUT ME

Just moved to Melbs after living in beautiful Saigon for 2 years. Very excited to check out the city and to make it my new home.

I"m a halfie (Viet/Aus) and was grew up just outside Washington D.C. I've lived in the US/Vietnam/ and Australia. Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved to travel and experience different cultures and lifestyles. I’m laid back, easy going, love to laugh, and try not to take life too seriously!

PHILOSOPHY

Live every week like its shark week

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A recent mountain biking trip I did in the mountains of Dalat, Vietnam was pretty incredible. Trekking outside of Luang Prabang, Laos and spending time with local villagers was also a beautiful trip. Too many beautiful adventures to list!
