I think a lot, talk a lot, and write a lot. Sometimes about gibberish things but most of the time about things that matters (to me, at least) like teaching, traveling, living abroad, being in an intercultural marriage, being a housewife, and a lot more.
This blog, therefore, is a collection of my thoughts as I go through life.
I’m Vien and welcome to my blog. I like writing even if it seems that writing doesn’t like me. I’ve been blogging for more than eight years now but I can’t say that I am an expert on it already. I am actually not an expert on anything but I might just be able to share some tips on this and that sometimes.
I’ve met quite quite a few friends through blogging and I am open to new ones. If you’re interested in exchanging links with me, please drop me a line.
Cheers!

Below are some dreams I am trying to achieve (they’re not in any particular order). Some of these are of course impossible to reach (if not silly) but dreams are dreams… some of them don’t have to become reality—it just gives me a nice feeling that they could, though. The ones I’ve crossed out are the ones I already achieved.
