Just landed — the first step into my new chapter.
Hello, my name is Phuc, and I'm 28 years old.
Today, I want to ask you a simple question:
Have you ever done something crazy when you were young?
I'm not sure if I can still call myself "young" ^^.
But I'm sure about one thing:
🔄 I did something crazy — I recreated myself at 28
Yes, you heard that right. That's exactly what I mean.
I spent months thinking about it before I finally made the decision:
I quit my job and moved to a completely new country, far away from my home in Vietnam.
💭 Why this decision?
Before this, I worked as a Software Engineer. It was stable, and knowledge was everywhere — in books, on YouTube, across the Internet. But I wanted more than just consuming knowledge. I wanted to live it, experience it, and grow through it.
And so, I started over.
🌟 What I want to share
In this space, besides learning and practicing English, I want to share with you:
- The beautiful things I encounter
- The unique experiences I go through
- The lessons and realizations I'm gaining along the way
I want to experience first, reflect on it, and then share it with you in the most genuine way I can.
🎯 Being honest about my limitations
To be honest, my English is not great yet. My vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation still need a lot of work. Sometimes I'm afraid that when I share, it won't be "perfect." But I'll keep trying.
I know there will be many challenges ahead. But I'm ready to take them, step by step. And I hope you'll follow along with me on this new journey — one that, I believe, will be truly meaningful and exciting.
Thank you for reading!
