Hi,

I think I should do an update since my 20s profile sounds childish.

Over 10 years, I definitely have had changes. I became more awareness of them during the quarantine when I had much time for myself as I decided to quit my job.

I don't have any problems with social life but I tend to spend more time alone reading a book, having a stroll, learning languages as I grow older.

I am working as assistant manager for a bilingual pre-school in Ho Chi Minh City. I love to talk and play with children. It's always fun and interesting involvement in their stories or activities. I, sometimes, was amazed by some of their questions which was brilliant or innocent.

PHILOSOPHY

Be Present.

"It's not wrong to be different. The equality begins when we open up and embrace all of our differences."

Music, Movies, and Books

2022 UPDATE

Music: same answer : it depends on my mood. I often listen to music while running, otherwise, just put in the earphone without music whenever I don't want to talk when I am on a bus.

Movies: cartoons are my all time preferable, actions, investigation series, comedies.

Books:

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running - Haruki Murakami
The Mastery of Self - Don Miguel Ruiz Jr.
Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man - Steve Harvey

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quitted job and participated in charity event began from the Southern to the Northern for 14 days. This event left deep impression on my mind and one of the reasons led me to Education field for my current job.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I think, I am not good enough to teach anyone. I'd like to share with you anything I know and I do believe that I also learn something from you.

Learn: I am a lifelong learner in academics as well as in life school. I am eager to new things, cultures which I appreciate more the differences from person to person, region to region, country to country. We are all living under the same sky, breathing the same air and on the earth.

Share: If possible, I'd like to share with you about Vietnam culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you wish to know more about my culture, I'd be happy to share with you about it as much as I know. I've traveled 30/ 63 provinces of Vietnam (mostly Mekong river delta, South East, South Central Coast, North Central Cost and some provinces in North West and North East).

If you come to Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) and you look for a person can show you around HCMC, I think I can do it on weekend. Please let me know in advance.

Kindly note that I am type of person who does not enjoy bustling tourist spots; thus, if you wish to explore HCMC in an eye of local, please message me.
