1 Vietnamese traveller. 23 Countries. 150 Days.

Santorini is an island in Greece. Some historians believe that it was the inspiration for the story of Atlantis.

The deep blue sea surrounds an island topped with houses painted in pure white. The sweet smell of calamari with fresh olive oil fills the air. The sun kisses everything on this beautiful island in the Aegean Sea. It’s called Santorini and it’s in Greece. When I was 24 I went backpacking in Europe. I visited Santorini, more wonderful parts of Greece and other European countries.

As a teacher I want to find people who can inspire my students. It’s great to find someone who is Vietnamese that children can look up to. I want to tell you about Trần Đặng Đăng Khoa. Khoa is from Vietnam and he’s a world traveller. He rode his motorbike from Saigon to Paris! He started in June and finished in October. Along the way he visited the island of Santorini.

This post is in Vietnamese and has some great pictures.
