One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2016, I made an internship of 6 months for a start-up, which goal was to provide the best IT & digital talents to companies in South East Asia.

The CEO is a young French guy, who made some internships in Asia and decided to founded his company with 2 Thais friends in Bangkok.
I joined them as a business developer, in order to prepare the business implementation in Vietnam. At the the time, we were 10 employees in Bangkok.

My 3 months experiences in Bangkok was unbelievable, so different from the time I traveled there the year before. I met so much people from anywhere (locals and foreigners), from different social classes. Thai culture is amazing, thanks to its people, traditions, food, way of thinking...

At the same time, I was part of the growth of the company which was getting bigger every day. I traveled many times in Ho Chi Minh City, in order to prepare a big event in the historical Reunification Palace

After the success of the event, I moved to Ho Chi Minh City and was the first employee of the company in this new country.

Moving from Bangkok to HCMC, was not so easy but happened very fast and I accepted the challenge since day 1. Vietnam is a special country for me, part of my origin. I went there in the past, but as a tourist. I met so much people in Vietnam, so much potential and willingness from the young people. The culture is so diverse from south to north, the food so tasty.

At the end of the 6 months, a friend of mine joined me and we traveled to many cities in Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar, before going back to Paris.

So much experiences lived, friends met and laughs shared. Short period of life where I really discovered two differents countries by working there.
The smile and humbleness of Thai people, amazing exotic and spicy food, passion for bouddhism and peace, crazy parties. How to explain this joy, this Carpe Diem style of life.
Vietnam is different, where the recent history has left scars to people, the smell of the soup Pho in the crowded streets of HCMC, people are rush, because time is food.

I realized thanks to this amazing experience, the big passion for travel I have and the excitement of meeting people, contribute something and learn more as a human.

ANOTHER AMAZING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. My 6 months backpack trip in South America, will tell you more if we meet :)
