Welcome,
This is MEMO 0816

The one & only free flight traveling to Vietnam is powered by a lot of memories, happiness & love.

Out of 24 flights I made in 2023 (~51,907-mile travel distance), only 3 were headed back to Vietnam.

So, I decided to create my own flight back home and welcome everyone to join me.

This is one of my most emotional pieces, as it's crafted from my longing memories of home and stories of places, and also a tribute to all Vietnamese living abroad.

As I shed tears upon gazing at these wonderful photos, I want to say huge thanks to Khoa Le, Vi Thuan, Minh Thu, Quynh Ngan, Khai Le, Minh Khoa, My Nguyen, Meo Luoi (and UnSplash). While the images were gifts from friends, the stories are my own.

Lastly, to "ba", I miss you dearly. It’s been too long since we journeyed together. Your daughter is growing fast, only because she craves independence. Even though I cannot travel with you anymore, I hope you are going to another place happier than this world. To "Mom", I love you so much. I hope you always remain happy and strong, so we can explore the world together someday…
