HOME

My hometown

Hochiminh finally has not been my home as I thought. My home is still here at my hometown. Where I have my mom, my dad for me. Where my room is ready for me everytime. Always. Where my "food" is still there everyday with or without me. Where I belong to. I found myself the best when I'm here.

I feel the best when I'm home. I have to make HCM city my home as it should be. So I already rent my apartment and ready to make it home. From next week.

What would you do if you were not afraid?

Spring @ Copenhagen

Strange fly this time. I had a sleepless night. I had breakfast when my watch showed 23:00 :D. And now drinking milk tea prepare to say good morning when watch shows 2:00 AM. 

My title is a sentence in "Who moved my cheese". This time it changed my mind. Last sunday I was kind of stress, confused, didnt know how to make a perfect end for my 2nd assignment as well as my backpacker journey. When I got the sentence I just started all things perfectly. I just decided not be afraind of anything :). After the perfect handover I recognised I was afraid of many things. Good finding any way.

In my mind now there are many plans :). I see a very bright future waiting for me ahead. And sure I'm going to make it happen. Many things in my glorious future are my family.

I AM COMING HOME :X!

You can always come back HOME

Last night @ Sofia

Love Srping :X

So I've done 1 year of backpacking. Did a very great presentation today.
Did a very good goodbye today. Is it something I should celebrate? :)

Really could not imagine I look forward to home this much.
One year is long I must say.

Sunday I'll be back in hot polluted Hochiminh city. Just realise  I miss the city so much.
And...and...will be back to hometown after ... 1,5 year.

Prepared myself and my time for lots of foods, meet and talksssssssssss,

CHEERSSSSSSSSSSSSSs

Last week

Several months ago I was so surprised knowing that "who moved my cheese" was introduced to 1 backpacker by IKEA talent manager. And I got this one in basic leadership training. Also remember that Peter gave me the book to read in my first week in Haarlem. After that I realized within IKEA we promote people read the book. We promote change.

Come back to the book. I've known it quite sometimes already. 7 years ago I saw a small nice book at wrong shelf in my favourite bookstore. It was in Vietnamese. The Vietnamese book was in yellow with several pieces of cheeses on it. The paper was very nice, attracted. As it was in wrong place so it was very obvious. I took it up and started reading. Then I stood there finished the book within 1 or 2 hours. I left the book store with 3 items. Right after I sent 2 of them to my closest friends in Hanoi. I sent notes together with the books which my friends still kept and showed me just last year when I visited them. I could not believe that the book had changed me that much. I was so exited :).

In fact I met the book when I was about to leave university. It was the moment I had to think about my future. Which way I should go after. I was in the situation that felt sorry, regreted of the past 4 years in university. I wished I could make it better. As I graduated from university with not very high score and ... no skills.

The book changed my thoughts. I started everything with new future in my mind. Now I'm here reading the book one more time. In English. A new other future is been drawing.

Leaving

Said goodbye to some of them today. Mix feelings.
Really hate ending moments. Any kind.
Somehow feeling empty inside.

Last trip around EU ... this time

@ ARENA - BARCELONA

Finally already 1 year (a bit more) I have been in Europe. Fanstatics journey!!!

I'm drinking cocktail in a hostel in Barcelona while writing this entry. Is it a big different? Just imagine how was I 1 year before, could you believe it? NOOOO... I could not believe! For someone it's so simple and normal, but for me it's a big change!

I'm going to close this 1 year backpacker journey in 2 weeks. However it opens a new backpacking time in my life. I've already seen what I should do with the left of my life. Full of backpacking.

This time in Barcelona I just relized it's finished this period's needs. I started care about things in deeper level. Not like the first several trips I just cared about the appearance of the countries, the cities, the people. Recently I've paid attention more to the cities and enjoy things. And I know it'll get more and more. So now it is the time not travel alone any more. I need to have partners while doing backpacking. 

Anyway first of all come back, reflect, settle things down and plan for more trips ahead!
