About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Carpe Diem!

ABOUT ME

I'm coming from Belgium but originally from Vietnam. I was born and raised in Brussels, this little city in this little country at the core of Europe, where pleny of things happen, and that has won the record of not having a government for the longest period of all times! I consider myself as an open-minded person, I truly love to travel and to meet new people, new cultures. I've lived in Belgium, Poland and I'm currently travelling around Israel/Palestine... Life is such an interesting journey, and you get to know so many good people along the way.

PHILOSOPHY
As within, so without.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I cross an ocean for someone I barely knew.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to share/cook a good meal with friends and having some good talks around a glass of wine. I love to go to movie, alone or accompanied, it's for me a good way to "escape" from this crazy world. I love music festivals and live music in general! i also like clubs and bars from time to time. Actually I'm just a normal girl who likes normal pleasures I guess.
