Son of a … Viet Kieu!

or you can simply call me Thomas and I am an entrepreneur, language coach and positivity ambassador ✨.

Welcome to my Substack! 🌏✍️

I'm passionate about sharing my journey and experiences to inspire fellow Vietnamese and Vietnamese overseas. Born and raised in Germany as a Vietnamese, I understand the unique challenges and rewards of growing up between cultures. My blog is a space where I recount life-changing adventures πŸŒ„ and the values I discovered along the way, especially during my transformative work and travel year in New Zealand after high school. ✈️

At 20, I took a bold step and moved to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, where I started a business in education. πŸ“š Through this venture, I aim to inspire the new generation, sharing lessons learned from running a business and working with students. My time in HCMC has been instrumental in helping me explore and embrace my identity.

Join me as I delve into the intricacies of living as a Viet Kieu in Germany, the vibrant experiences in New Zealand 🌿, and the exciting journey of entrepreneurship in Vietnam. πŸš€ I hope my stories resonate with you and inspire you to pursue your own dreams, bridging cultures and discovering your true self. 🌟

Let's embark on this journey together! 🀝
