✳ THE PERSON BEHIND THE JOURNAL

Hi,
I’m Ngọc 👋

I write Santiago GoGo to remember my trips, from cycling across Vietnam and riding solo through Laos to my first time in Europe.

There are stories about trains, buses, visa applications, missed connections, and the people I met. I also write about what I spent, where I went, and what I only found out once I got there.

Each post is a record of how the trip felt at the time. I keep them like pages in a journal, so I can read them later and remember being there, what I thought, and how much fun I had.
