About Me

CURRENT MISSION

We should be living like we lived that summer!

ABOUT ME

I love travelling, listen music & can play piano a little bit, chat chit with people have same hobbies & believe me I have hundreds of hobbies :)), go round to find out new, special restaurants, coffee stores, street foods (Hanoi is great place for this activity!)..., love to stay in mountain & sea areas, climbing & trekking...
I also have special interest in photography & chat chit with friends have same interest, maybe all day :) now I work as freelance photographer at weekend, but almost my clients are my friends, so for free only but have great fun ^^
I love animal also, I have a cat but prefer dog!

PHILOSOPHY

I used to get a lot of help from many people when I travel to anywhere in my country, or when I work overseas and got a lot of promise to take me around if I go to their countries.
So I just want to give it back :)!

My first experience is great! I knew her in a short time in Singapore & then she ask me to want to go to Malacca, Malaysia, her home town, of course I agree immediately, we drive to Malacca & we go around to shooting photo together & taste the most famous street foods! That was a really sweet memory & we still keep in touch until now!

Interests

I'm interested in hundreds of things but normally not too long time: handmade, cooking the strange foods I taste them somewhere, try to guess the ingredient & cook it at home, sometimes the result is awesome :)), plant flowers, making mocktails or cocktail(only Margarita) ...
However, I have special ambition with my camera, I shoot every things: street life, macro, sport,.. but love portrait & wedding photography most. One of my friend said that: "Photographers can feel the happiness easiest because their work is to capture the most beautiful moments of other people". Whenever I saw my photos I remember this sayings <3
My new interest is playing piano, don't have great talent but not too bad ^^

Music:
I love music, enjoy it own day ^^ I listen all kinds of music, now prefer Rock Ballad & Jazz,... (listen "If I could fly"_ Halloween now!)

Books:
Used to read a lot of books, but now don't have much time to read. I love series science books of Stephen Hawking even cannot understand all :))
Last novel I read is "The Fountainhead" _ Ayn Rand, amazing one, finished it in 2 days!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I joined the long time NGOs volunteer campaign in Vietnamese in rural area of minority group. The village's in the valley, it take us 5 hours to climb & walk to get there. Without electricity, mobile phone, wifi... We worked very hard to build a house & harvest the crop, teach & play with children. Funny thing is that we first cannot distinguish between grass & rice plant :)) We saw things that we'd never seen in city: poor people must to eat corn all years, children even don't have clothes to wear, never eat a candy,.. That's really impressed! After this travel, I'm much appreciated with what I currently have without any claiming about what I don't have anymore!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my experiences about photography: shooting, photos,..., cooking Vietnamese foods , teach you Vietnamese language, some kinds of drinks: mocktail, cocktail, handmade...
I want to learn French language, cause I love French songs, I used to learn French but forgot all now :(
