Hi friends! My name is Perry Truong and I absolutely love adventure. I have travelled to 18 countries and 22 states in the US, and looking forward to adding more to my list. Raised in Camas, WA, I moved to Boise and received my degree from Boise State University in Marketing. I can typically be found outside hiking, playing tennis or volleyball, but I can also be found slumped on the couch with a great Netflix series. Vietnam is the perfect combination, for me, to teach. My heritage originates in Vietnam and I am excited to learn more about my traditions and culture. This is a perfect combination of travel experience and heritage. My favorite part of teaching is inspiring curiosity to my students, teaching them to be lifelong learners, rather than simply students.
