About

Hi, I'm Trang Luu

For years, this website was all about my career in marketing and showcasing my portfolio. But one day, I realised something important: I will never be 22 again. Nor 25. Each milestone has its own story, but they all share the same truth: they will never come back.

That thought changed everything for me. Instead of chasing titles and resumes, I wanted to start chasing experiences. The kind that make me laugh, challenge me, surprise me and stay with me long after the trip is over.

So that chapter is closed, and now I’m writing a new one.

Now, this space is no longer about work, it’s about travel, storytelling, and creating content that inspires. I share my journeys, the lessons I learn along the way, and the little tips that make exploring the world less stressful and a lot more fun.

If you’ve ever felt like time is flying by and you want to make the most of it, you’ll feel right at home here.

So, welcome to my story, and hopefully, to the start of yours too.

This is Trang!

From office desk to open roads

Growing up in Hanoi, Vietnam, I was never a traveller. Not until I was 22, when I finally used my passport for the first time and headed to Thailand for a volunteer trip. That experience opened a door I didn’t know existed. For the first time, I was surrounded by people from different cultures, hearing stories that made the world feel so much bigger, and at the same time, so much more connected.

When I came back home, life went back to normal. I worked, and saved for once-in-awhile trips, mostly domestic, maybe twice a year. Those trips gave me short bursts of joy, but they were always temporary escapes from a routine I wasn’t fully happy in.

Then came my time in the UK, and it opened my eyes all over again. Suddenly, I was exposed to a different way of living, new possibilities, and a freedom I hadn’t experienced before. I saw people traveling not just for vacations, but as a way of life. And for the first time, I wondered: Could I do that too?

That question never left me.

Today, I want to live a life purposefully, meaningfully, and in a way that inspires - both myself and others. Travel is how I choose to do that, and this space is where I share the journey, as a traveller, a storyteller, and a content creator. From small weekend escapes to bigger adventures, each trip has taught me something, and those lessons have shaped who I am today.

My journey in motion with TLT Travel

Somewhere along the way, I came up with TLT Travel – my creative escape and spiritual inspiration.

It started as a simple way to document my journey, but it became so much more. Now, it’s the place where I share the destinations, moments, and stories that not only make my travels unforgettable, but also (I hope) spark something in others.

Of course, it hasn’t been easy. There are countless days when I ask myself if I should give up and return to a more traditional path. Doing this alone can feel heavy, and the big achievements I dream of haven’t happened yet.

But every time I think about quitting, I remember why I began. Because TLT Travel is more than content, it’s a reminder to live purposefully, meaningfully, and to keep chasing the stories that will never come back once the moment is gone.

What You’ll Find on TLT Travel YouTube

On my channel, I share travel through my own eyes - the excitement, the challenges, and the lessons that come with every trip. You’ll find:

Travel Guides & Tips: from planning the essentials to navigating local transport, SIM cards, packing, and making your trip smoother.
Food Adventures: because no trip is complete without trying what locals eat, whether it’s night markets, street food, or hidden gems.
Itineraries & Day Trips: how I explore each destination, from famous landmarks to underrated spots.
Honest Reviews & Experiences: not just the “pretty highlights,” but what it really feels like to be there, so you can decide if it’s worth adding to your own journey.
Personal Stories: moments of joy, mistakes I learn from, and reflections on what travel means to me.

It’s not about being perfect or ticking off every bucket list. It’s about traveling with curiosity, purpose, and heart.

Who is Missthitbo?

Besides TLT Travel, there’s also Missthitbo my alter ego.

“Thịt Bò” means beef in Vietnamese, and since I’ve always loved beef, it naturally became my nickname. Over time, Missthitbo grew into more than just a joke, she became my way of embracing the fun, food-loving side of travel.

I created a platform where Missthitbo can share her passion for food and adventures, the moments when Trang Luu closes the laptop, forgets the deadlines, and fully indulges in the joy of discovering flavors, places, and experiences.

Together, TLT Travel and Missthitbo tell the whole story of how I travel — both the meaningful journeys and the delicious bites along the way.

Fun fact: I even started creating a little game called “Missthitbo Travels Vietnam 🇻🇳”. It’s not finished yet, but who knows — maybe it’ll be another way to explore and experience Vietnam one day.
