CURRENT MISSION

Be happy and make other people happy

ABOUT ME

My life story in short:
Born in a small village in the northern part of Vietnam and was adopted at the age of ten by a Belgian couple. Unlike many other people who has been adopted, I have a good relationship with my Vietnamese and Belgian family.
At the moment I'm learning french in Montpellier and enjoying the delicious French cuisine.

My interests include traveling, reading, watching art-cinema movies and skiing.
