A Vietnamese, currently living and studying in Finland. Major in International Business although my real passion and future career are in Photography. Sometimes funny, being a cat for most of the other time. Open-minded, ambitious and straight forward about what I want, honest about what I can do.

If you are interested, you can see some of my art works on my blog at www.dotang.tumblr.com or on my Instagram @do__tang
