Travel Life With Vân

“The content of a book holds the power of education and it is with this power that we can shape our future and change lives.”

I consider myself lucky to be in the between generation of Millennials.

Just before and at the very beginning of technology.

So I grew up playing outside and reading actual books (the ones you can hold with a good grasp of hands) when it was too rainy, too dark or too late to play outside. Even though reading on my tablet now that I am traveling a lot, trying to find my place in this world, is very practical.

There is nothing like holding a book in your hands.

Turning the pages at your own pace, smelling the ink of an old piece of paper. One of my favorite places in this world is still the library.

To me, it represents nostalgia. Memories. History. A trace of what once was and a testament to the evolution we made. Or not.

There is something so intimate, so real about diving in the mind of a writer. It’s one of the many reasons why I love to read.

There are so many different kinds of thinking out there, so many people outside of our own little world that are going through life as we all do.

Some of them are surprisingly identifiable, others trigger compassion and wanting more of it. Of everything really.

I found that books are one of the few things in life that you can rely yourself on. Because they only tell their side of the story, their way of viewing life, their way of taking action by spreading their messages. That’s in every single book. Whichever you might choose to read.

That to me, it’s its own power.

To give you its point of view and letting you decide if you want to believe it or not. If you want to know more on the subject, if you want to continue to read its story.

Reading is influential on its own. It never grows old because books adapt to change. It evolves along side of its era.

Do you ?

Can you ?

Will you ?
