Overview
About Me
Now I am back to the US, starting a new chapter of my life!!!!
I quit my job to travel the world!!!
I enjoy travel hacking espically I start to only book flight to different continents if it can be from $6.50 up to $199 and no more.
My goal is to visit at least 50 countries before I turn 30 years old. I mean "visit" not "travel" because I would rather spend time in each countries, immerse myself with local culture, meet and make meaningful friendship than just travel through the airport or a 6 hours trip to tick that country off the list.
I live a simple life. My family is not rich in money at all but my mother raises me to be a motivated, determined and respectful person.
I am easy to talk to, and responsible.
I love to meet and learn from different people from different backgrounds. My career allows me to be comfortable in a luxury setting, talking and working along with CEOs, high profile ranking people. At the same time, you will find me sitting on a stool eating street food, be friends and helping people on the street, travel with locals. I believe everyone can teach me something new everyday.
I recently quit my job to start traveling with an open itinerary. I was born and raise in Mekong Delta area, went to Foregn Trade University in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. I took an entrepreneur course by Stanford University, attended an East Coast Entrepreneur Summit at Princeton University. I like the US so much I decided to find a job after finishing college in Vietnam. I have a decent career in Banking with some investment licenses. Right now, I need to take a break and really make my childhood dream comes true: travel around the world.
Besides, I am a minimalist. I believe less is more. I treasure memories over "stuffs". I travel light with only a small backpack.
I learn to keep my life simple, drama free, to surround myself with positive energy.
