A bridge between worlds

Welcome to my blog, where I share stories and insights from my journey from Vietnam to Vancouver. Here, I explore the realities of student life, cultural change, personal growth, and the lessons I learned after moving abroad. Join me as I connect culture with opportunity, turning my challenges and experiences into a bridge between two worlds.

International student life

Dive into the realities of studying abroad from my perspective. I talk about arriving in Canada in September 2023, entering Fraser International College, and adjusting to a completely new environment. From building routines to facing academic challenges — including failing my first semester — I share the honest ups and downs of the international student journey. Discover practical tips, mistakes to avoid, and stories that can help you navigate your own path.

Cultural exchange & integration

Explore the differences between Vietnamese and Canadian culture through my real experiences. From language and lifestyle contrasts to the multicultural environment of Vancouver, I share how these cultural shifts shaped my identity and worldview. Join me as I uncover the beauty, challenges, and unexpected lessons that come with integrating into a new culture while still staying connected to where I come from.

Personal growth & lessons learned

Here, I share the most personal part of my journey — my early mistakes, including getting distracted by my first relationship and losing focus on my studies. I talk about overcoming failure, rebuilding my discipline, and finding confidence again. By reflecting on mental health, responsibility, resilience, and learning the hard way, I hope to help others avoid the same pitfalls and turn their struggles into stepping stones for growth.
