My name is Nguyen Thai Hoc or you can call me Vince. I born and raised in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. I am currently studying in Vancouver, Canada as an international student. I am 23, quite wild and free.

I have a great passion for backpack traveling. I have done a few trips with lots of stories that I want to share both fun and challenges.

This time, I am going to bicycle-packing along the west coast of U.S. I already ready to camp anywhere along the way but it would be great to meet some friends along the way and maybe sleep inside once in a while :)).

If you also have a bike, please join me and it would be great if you can show me your local area!!!
