"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page"
~Saint Augustine
Why do I love travelling?
I travel to grow up
It would be difficult to directly see the world without traveling. Many people might not recognize how traveling supports an individual growing up. I also tell myself that it is good to have skills. But the skills would be useless without practice. And I traveled to apply what I knew before in real situations.
​
I enjoyed knowing and asking more questions about the cultural differences. These trips stimulated my curiosity about how people from different countries have different behavior. Then, I felt respect towards new countries when I have the opportunity to interact with their culture. Moreover, I adjusted my manner to adapt to new cultural concepts. I also have an interesting feeling to keep study about people, countries, and cultures.

During my time at Ho Chi Minh University of Economics and Finance, I participated in field trips to Thailand and South Korea. These trips not only focused on academic learning but also created chances for students to experience cultural specificity.
​
Both my trip to Thailand and South Korea have broadened my horizon. My trip to Thailand was for a Critical Thinking class organized by the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce. Besides, I flew to Korea in the exchange program of Solbridge International School of Business in Daejeon, South Korea. I learned through many cultural exchange activities. Specifically, I could try the traditional dishes, wear traditional clothes, visit famous historical places and learn several words for communicating.
​
Different countries, different lifestyles, different cultures bring various knowledge to me. The factor that attracted me most is how culture influences people's lifestyles. For example, Thai people have a greeting gesture called "wai"- a prayer-like gesture to show respect to other people. Or bowing is the most common greeting way in Korea. I would never know this cultural uniqueness if I was afraid of traveling.
