I'm a writer and marketing enthusiast, based in Ha Giang since 2021. My work has appeared in leading media outlets such as La Vanguardia and National Geographic. In fact, I authored the 2024 cover story on Vietnam for National Geographic Spain, featured just below.
I'm also the author of Heirs of Opium, published by Planeta.
Today, I’m proud to be the cofounder of Borderlands and of PIZZA HERE, Ha Giang’s top-rated pizzeria and a beloved local favorite.

I studied finance, but my true passion lies in building meaningful experiences. Since 2017, I've been meeting and working closely with local families across the region, learning from them, listening to their stories, and understanding how our tours can create a real, positive impact in their lives.
Today, I’m in charge of all tour operations at Borderlands, making sure every journey is not only unforgettable for travelers, but also respectful and beneficial for the communities we visit.
We founded Borderlands Tours in 2023 to offer authentic journeys through borderlands where forgotten stories of ancient cultures still resonate. Sharing them is our way of keeping memory alive, which is why we also support the preservation of traditional architecture, the silent witness of it all.
