Born in the city of Halong, which is home to the legendary Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage site, my passion for travel and my home country never ceases to inspire me. After graduating from the School of Foreign Languages in 2007, my desire to share Vietnam's cultural and natural wealth led me to specialize in promoting my country as an attractive destination for travelers worldwide. This is how I embraced my passion by working as a English-speaking advisor in the tourism industry.
