One Strategy At A Time Dreams stay dreams unless you make them your reality. I share my journey of how I’ve turned my dreams into reality. And you can too.

Reflection has become one of my habits and rituals since I embarked on my self-discovery journey. As I close out 2025, this year’s reflection isn’t about ticking off achievements. It’s about three questions that matter more than metrics:

→ What I intended
→ What actually happened
→ And what I learned along the way

This year came with many unexpected shifts that tested my resilience. In those moments, I returned to simple practices that have always grounded me: walking, writing, and exercising.

Walking helps me process uncertainty and make sense of things when my thoughts feel tangled. Writing helps me build self-awareness, especially when clarity feels distant. And movement plays a big role in how I stay balanced and regulate my emotions when life feels heavy.

Somewhere between these practices, I found relief. I knew I had done the best I could, and whatever came next, I trusted I would meet it when it arrived.

One foot in front of the other, I kept moving forward. Looking back now, I can simply say: I did it.

If you’d like to read more, I invite you to explore my full reflection via the link in the first comment.

And as you read, I encourage you to reflect on your own year with courage, honesty, and curiosity about your growth, and to carry that with you into the new year.

Thank you for spending your precious time reading this. 🙏

Hey, what’s up, friends?

I know I’m not the most active content creator here (life’s been too good offline 🙃)

But as I wrap up my traineeship here at the EUIPO in Spain, between packing suitcases (again…), finishing projects, and gearing up for the next adventure, I somehow managed to sit down with my colleagues to record a 47-minute podcast.

→ 🎧 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁!

This year at the European Union Intellectual Property Office - EUIPOO 🇪🇺 gave us more than just professional experience. It gave us friendships, laughter, and stories worth remembering long after Alicante.

→ So grab a coffee (or tea, or snacks 🍪 highly recommended), and join us on YouTube: @𝗹𝗲𝗼𝗵𝘂𝘆𝗻𝗵𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗵.𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹

Many thanks to my partners-in-crime for this edition: Naz, Ioanna, Tom, and Max. I couldn’t have wrapped up this chapter in a better way.

We hope our laughs and reflections inspire you to keep leading your own journey, wherever you want it to be.

𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝗴𝗼? 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗼... 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲?
If you're asking yourself this question right now, you're not alone.

One of the things I love most is exchanging stories with others, and lately, a recurring theme has come up:

🔍 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱𝘀.

What surprised me?

I used to think this was mostly an “Asian thing” tied to tradition and family expectations. And the truth is, it’s quite universal.

From East to West, we’re all navigating these big questions about growth, purpose, and what’s next.

In my latest video, I explore this challenge and share a practical tool to help you take the first step with more clarity and confidence.

✨ 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲:

→ At a life or career crossroads
→ Considering a move abroad for growth or change
→ Ready to explore what’s next with an open heart

🎥 𝗜𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂

→ I’d love for you to stop by my 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗧𝘂𝗯𝗲 channel 𝗹𝗲𝗼𝗵𝘂𝘆𝗻𝗵𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗵.𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 and watch the video. Maybe it’ll offer a spark or a strategy you’ve been needing.

💬 𝗜’𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸.

Drop a comment, share your story, or leave feedback. It helps the channel grow, and even more importantly, it helps me create better, more relevant content for you and others walking this same path.

Let’s grow together – one story, one strategy at a time.

From Leo with gratitude. 🙏

Hello friends. Today, I celebrate my greatest achievement of the month: 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆.

When I left Vietnam 🇻🇳 my comfort zone for a life of growth across countries, I didn’t know what to expect. Although I knew it would be challenging.

What I didn’t expect was how often I’d be reminded of one thing: 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀.

𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲.

Especially when you're Asian, alone, and constantly met with curious stares or “ni hao” from strangers.

I smile and reply (in Spanish): “Actually, I’m from Vietnam. We say "𝗫𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗼."

Yes, I’m an immigrant in Spain 🇪🇸 legally, and with intention. And despite the moments of doubt or isolation, humanity keeps finding me.

✨ Maruja from Peru 🇵🇪
✨ Mario from Argentina 🇦🇷

Strangers who became friends.

They welcomed me into their homes, shared their stories, and reminded me: 𝘄𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲.

They speak to me patiently, helping me improve my Spanish "poco a poco".

This journey is much more than work or study; it’s about belonging, becoming, and being human.

We live in a world where our primary connection often happens through screens. In the process, we’re slowly forgetting how to trust, how to listen, and how to simply be present with one another.

Technology might connect us faster, but not always deeper. And what we’re starving for isn’t more content. It’s a real connection.

As the world evolves and AI advances faster than ever, 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Nothing.

So here’s my invitation to you:

𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀. 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝘂𝗽 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝘆𝗲𝘀, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁. ❤️

Sometimes, the people you least expect are the ones who remind you that you belong.

📍Alicante, Spain. Gracias por todo. 🙏

Hey friends, I know I’ve been a bit quiet lately, and the truth is, I needed that pause.

I took some time off social media to recharge my energy, care for my physical and mental well-being, and reconnect with life offline.

As someone whose work revolves around the digital space (and yes, I’m still an early AI adopter), I’ve come to value real-world presence even more, the kind you find in unexpected conversations with strangers or quiet mornings by the sea 🌊.

And it made me ask myself:

When was the last time I truly felt connected, not online, but in real life? That question stayed with me.

📝 In this new blog post, I share one of those quiet yet powerful moments that left a mark on me, a story about human connection, health, and the kind of presence we often overlook in our fast-paced, hyper-connected world.

Thank you for still being here, for reading, and for walking this journey with me. Your presence, even through a screen, means a lot. 🙏

But more than anything, I hope this reminds you to log off sometimes and reconnect with the magic of everyday life.

👋 Ciao for now. Stay well, stay curious, stay open, and above all, stay human.

🎥 Video in Vietnamese 🇻🇳

(Ever wondered what Vietnamese sounds like? Here’s a quick glimpse 😉)

In this clip, I share a practical tip that helped me save money during my time as a student in the UK 🇬🇧—one of those things I learned along the way.

Appreciation to ISC-intake for supporting and preparing Vietnamese students like us on our study abroad journeys.

Studying overseas is more than just academics—it's about living smart, growing fast, and adapting with purpose.
