A journey begins with a single step =^_^= Hi Hive Community, I am here =^_^=

When is the right time to begin?
The answer is now.

I have been knowing Hive for a while from my dear friend @trangbaby. However, I don’t have the courage to write anything because I was scared and worried about my English writing skill. But, later on, I realized that worry and scare would not change anything. As long as I keep my worry and scare, I would always stay on the same page. Then, @hknauy, a close friend as my sister, showed me again about Hive and her excitement of writing, sharing her stories. So, I’ve changed my mind and decided to start writing and sharing about my journey from today on Hive.

To begin with, lets me introduce a bit about myself. My name is Ngan, but I prefer to be called Clara. I come from Vietnam, the South of Asia in a small city called Ben Tre. I am so proud to say Ben Tre is the city of coconuts. In there, we use coconut products every day in our daily activities such as we use coconut water to cook rice and pork meat, use coconut shells or coconut leaves to replace the firewood, and so on. When I was a child, I used coconut leaves to make some toys like a watch, a necklace, and clothes. I lived in Ben Tre until five years old, then I moved to Hochiminh City with my mom, who is my forever love and she is the only person who gives me all of her best, her love and always support me to do whatever I wish for. I used to work in different industries likes hospitality, marketing, and event, and created some small businesses. However, since I came to New Zealand, I end up working in Hospitality again. As I love food, traveling, and learning about new cultures.

My hobbies are reading books, playing sudoku, listening to music, and watching movies. I usually visit a coffee shop or the central library, I would choose a corner and hide there with my books or my laptop. People might think that I am a typical introvert, but, I can be an extrovert as well. As working in hospitality, I can make friends with many different types of people base on their ages, cultures, and hobbies. I can listen to them, sharing my stories, make fun of myself and make people smile. I love to connect with people around me and expand my relationships.

My goal is to travel as many places as I can, helping people, and sharing my knowledge. I believe that life is too short so we should do whatever makes us happy, be grateful for what we have, and share our luck with everyone.

Thank you all for reading my first post. 😘😉
