I am Neal from Vietnam. I am keen on traveling and exploring new places. I usually try to get out of the comfort zone to experience the fresh air in the new regions, new countries. Typically, just like anyone else, I am a big fan of reading books, listening to music and spending time with friends,... "It's another rainy day, Everything has gone away. Yet there's still a day, For you and me come to stay!" *Summer, summer Jump into the sea water! Picking some seaweed, Catching a starfish!* Flying high above the sky, Against the strong wind with the cloud white. Dancing wise through the stormy nights, And afterward coming the sunshine!
