Hi. I'm Thảo (You can call me Tina or my nickname "Gấu" like "bear" ). I'm living in Can Tho city with my Mom. I can't say myself that I'm a nice or kind or friendly.. person. For me that is your remark.

"What will be, will be. If we were destined to meet, we would meet". I believe that every person who I've met and will meet in my life always gives me something. If lucky I have a friend or not I have a lesson. It's ok! I just want to be myself when I meet someone and I hope you to be like that too.

The world is huge, there is so much thing to see, to learn, to explore and to experiences. I think that travel is to experiences, not to complete something. So I'll enjoy and accept everything which happens to me.

I really hope that we can be friends and help each other, has the most beautiful experiences when we travel.

It's a perfect website to connect travelers together. I'm very happy because through website I can meet new friends come from different countries, know more their cultures. That's so interesting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Have done a bicycle journey around South East Asia for 5 months (5 countries)

- Have done a bicycle journey around Vietnam for 3.5 months (35 cities) and raised funds for a project "Plant a millions trees", combined with do volunteering planting trees along the way.

- That is when I decided tattoo. One thing which I hatest before. And then I have received a lot of judgment from my mom, relatives, friends, neighbors and all the people who just met me. I wonder why I can't do that. Maybe in their eyes I'm a good daughter, living up to moral standards so I can't do the opposite. Finally, I chose to live up to what I wanted. I'll never, ever regret the things I have done because I only get one life. It's actually my duty to live it as fully as possible.
