Hi there! Nice to meet you

Hoàng

Hi there! I’m Steven — your friendly, curious creator and adventure buddy.

By day, I’m diving into the dynamic world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a lifelong learner, embracing discipline, resilience, and the occasional faceplant (it builds character!). When I’m not rolling on the mats, you’ll often find me with a camera in hand, capturing authentic moments and telling visual stories through photography.

Music is my soulful escape — I can hold a tune and love belting out a song or two, especially when there’s a relaxed vibe and good company. Oh, and did I mention I’m an unapologetic kitten lover? If there’s a cat nearby, you can bet I’m either befriending it or photographing it.

What makes me stand out?

I’m all about creating connections and crafting unique experiences. Whether you’re looking for insider tips on hidden local spots, stories from my travels, or a shared laugh over some quirky life adventures, I’ve got you covered. My mixed bag of passions — from martial arts to photography — means I bring both energy and creativity to every encounter.

Want to discover places only locals know? I’ve got the secret alleyways, coziest coffee spots, and cultural tidbits you won’t find in a guidebook. Curious about a personalized photo walk? I’ll show you around while capturing your best moments.

So, let’s connect, explore, and share some great stories along the way — and maybe even stop to say hello to a furry feline friend or two!

We got to see the Chinese quarter of Ho Chi Minh and had a good tour and experience. Steven was knowledgeable and a very nice guy. Good Experience!

We had an incredible experience with Hoàng as our food tour guide in Ho Chi Minh City. He took us all over the city to try authentic Vietnamese dishes we never would have found on our own. Every stop offered something unique — from amazing street food to cozy fast-casual spots — all deeply connected to the heart of Vietnamese culture. Hoàng was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole tour feel effortless and fun. This was hands down one of the highlights of our trip. 10/10 recommend to anyone wanting a genuine taste of Vietnam!Unforgettable Food Adventure with Hoàng
