Overview
About Me
Hi everyone! I'm Trang, a 26-year-old solo female backpacker from Vietnam. My major is Marketing Manager in the Inbound tourism industry in Vietnam and Travel Content Creator.
I’m also a Travel Specialist and Consultant for those who travel to my country. I love immersing myself in nature and local cultures wherever I go. I deeply value every moment connecting with locals and participating in their traditions.
A bit more about me:
- Adventurous Soul:
I’ve spent nearly a year living among minority communities along the Vietnam-China border, volunteering and helping out the locals there . At 22, I fulfilled my dream of backpacking across Vietnam by motorbike. Now, I'm ready to explore the world and express all i can do to help people to travel in smart and efficient way, also to motivate young Asian girls like me can break the comfort zone & discover many amazing things in life out there!
- Resilient Background:
Growing up in just a developing country with a history of war, and being the daughter of army parents, my life has been tough and lack of many conditions. The dream of traveling around the world never was in my mind as i though it was impossible for me to do that! But thanks for my parents to teach me how to overcome hardships, and I’ve become a strong, independent and proactive woman.
- Despite challenges, I chase my dreams with all my heart. Which is the best thing that im proud of and let me be a person that i am now! Traveling is definitely my passion, my life-lesson teacher and my opportunity for my self-developement, discovering my talents, my potential abilities that i can’t find if im just always stucked in the comfort zone!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have lived in some of the most remote areas of Vietnam, right on the border with China, where the Hmong minority resides. The people there live in extremely challenging conditions, lacking basic necessities for a decent living and development. Many of them don't even speak Vietnamese and have little to no access to education.
My time spent volunteering in these communities has been incredibly humbling and eye-opening. Witnessing their struggles and resilience has deepened my appreciation for cultural exchange and human connection. This experience has fueled my passion for travel and my desire to make a positive impact wherever I go.

A lot. It can be my deeply travel experience via 10 countries or my professional skills as a travel content creator/Marketer or my self-growth as a "blacksheep" Asian girl. i'd love to share as much as i can and treasure all connections with locals.
