The most memorable trips
When asked about the most memorable memories, Doan Truong shared: I have been to almost all European countries such as England, France, Germany, Hungary, etc. and many Asian countries but prefer two countries in Africa, Egypt and Morocco.
There are numbers I will never forget throughout my life.
August 17, 1987 was the first flight abroad to study abroad in Russia and November 15, 2019 was the last flight from Portugal to Vietnam before the pandemic broke out.
August 25, 2022 was my first flight after the pandemic season through Bali, Indonesia. However, before the flight time, I had a high fever, lost my taste buds and was diagnosed with COVID-19, so I took anti-fever medicine, quarantined in my private room, and limited sightseeing according to schedule.
Doan Truong trembled and recounted his worried and uneasy trip just one day after a passenger bus was bombed in Egypt on December 28, 2018.
When arriving at Cairo airport, the whole group was arranged by security forces to go out through a separate path and suggested changing the entire tour schedule. To ensure safety, the Egyptian side had a police car behind the convoy. On the bus, there was also a police officer accompanying him throughout the 10-day journey.
Once, the male blogger was sick and sleepy at Dubai airport, so he was left alone here while the whole group had flown to Hungary. After that, he had to buy a new air ticket for himself for about 10 million VND. The travel agency only agreed to support the cost of a hotel night right at the airport.
The most painful journey was when he underwent a benign back tumor just one day before flying to Australia. Every night when visiting the hotel, a close friend who is a doctor there comes to help Doan Truong take care of his wound.
The most dangerous trip was near the end of 2019, when he was preparing to enter Israel, when the alarm rang, all passengers were forced to evacuate urgently, leaving their luggage to escape.
When Doan Truong experienced hot air ballooning in Jordan, he also had a problem because he flew too high and drifted elsewhere.
The most difficult places to explore
Topping the national list that makes Doan Truong have the most memories is the village of Oia on the paradise island of Santorini in Greece.
To choose a beautiful place, Doan Truong had to be there 4 hours in advance to wait and see the most poetic and romantic sunset in the world.
To take photos right at the beautiful stone c layers like paintings on the beach, you have to wait in line, each person only has 3 minutes to turn the camera.
While passionately posing for taking photos, a thief opened his passport and wallet to take him, but luckily, he asked foreign tourists standing behind to discover and call him in time.
Deep in the Christmas Church in Palestine is the Be Lem grotto, where Jesus was born. Therefore, thousands of tourists had to queue for more than 3 hours to visit.
In addition, 4 hours is also the waiting time to set foot on the Zhangjiakagi glass bridge in China. If there is a strong wind and heavy rain, all efforts will be considered "copy" because the bridge is closed.
Doan Truong shares his desire to promote Vietnamese ao dai around the world. The singer of "Dau tinh" is currently working on a project of 100/100/2030. This is a plan to carry out a photo shoot of 100 ao dai at the 100 most famous scenic spots of 100 countries by 2030.
Currently, the male singer lives in a 700m2 front house on a busy street in District 3, Ho Chi Minh City.
