About Me

UPDATE: I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING SINCE NOVEMBER 23 2O22 - NOT IN HANOI
In HO CHI MINH CITY since 8 Aug 2023

CURRENT MISSION

To go see the world + everyday become the better version of myself

ABOUT ME (what I wrote in my 20s)

July 2012 - Sept 2013: worked and lived in Nha Trang (beach city), Vietnam

You can say my wanderlust is 100%. When time meets money, all I want to do is pick up my backpack and GO!

Traveling to me is not about shopping despite me being a girl. It's about discover the culture, like 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do', taste the cuisine (best part ever), freedom and be open to a new world. Also I must be a weird skinny girl with nature loving soul

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans" _ John Lennon

Expect the unexpected.

The more I live, the more I realize that people are basically the same, they just differ in culture

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to Cambodia and it's the first time ever I've been in the middle of a foreign country - the feeling is SO GREAT that I want to do it again and again!
-- My fixed goal since then is to surf at least one country every single year :D

Conducted Vietnamese symphony orchestra in 1 minute - amazing experience!

Meditated for 150 days in the past year
