AMATEUR DIGITAL NOMADS DIARY
VOL 1: TRAVEL SOUTH EAST ASIA
Chapter 2: The trip of a lifetime
By Trang Luu, April 2025
How the passion for traveling started
I've been dreaming of this trip since I discovered how much I love traveling when I was at university when it was the golden time of travel Youtube vlogs that thrived and gained massive popularity.
I had never had the opportunity to travel abroad until I was 22. My first trip happened when I signed up for a volunteer activity in Thailand, which was covered by AIESEC and Watdontakhien School in Bang Saphan district, Thailand. I was working several part-time jobs to save for my flight tickets and leisure travel. Seeing my determination, my grandpa and grandma also contributed, hoping that I could achieve what makes me happy.
How the 'Trip of a lifetime' started
We’ve decided to take on our next adventure as digital nomads, but with a base this time. A place with a beach, good internet, and a healthy environment to keep us grounded while still exploring.
I’ll be back with more stories about our one-year journey through Southeast Asia, and how we’re figuring out this digital nomad lifestyle. Hopefully, my articles help anyone looking to do something similar, or just inspire those with a restless spirit and a love for travel.
See you again!
Cheers,
Trang Luu
