Four years ago, I packed my bags and flew from Vietnam to the Netherlands - the first time I had ever gone that far from home. I was 18, full of curiosity and ambition, ready to start my Bachelor's in Communication at HAN University of Applied Sciences. I didn't know exactly what was waiting for me, but I was eager to learn, grow, and absorb every skill and experience I could find. My first two years in the Netherlands were a mix of personal discovery and professional foundation. I dove into theory and brought it to life through hands-on projects like creating a full digital magazine and crafting international marketing communication strategies. I loved how creative and practical the learning process was, which made me realize that communication is more than just words, it's about connection, purpose, and impact.
