Overcoming illness, depression mastering life

In the summer, Nguyen Hong Quan (26 years old) temporarily put aside his job as a shipper to develop a motorbike tour. Suffering from a rare disease, a severe allergy to almost all antibiotics, treatment for a year, a total of 11 emergency hospital admissions, Quan had to drop out of school after finishing grade 11.

Later, when he saw that his peers went to college, then got a stable job, he was quite self-deprecating and felt like a burden on his family. The pessimism makes Quan think a lot, leading to nervous system disorders, stress and signs of depression.

After two years of incubation, at the age of 21, Quan decided to step out of the narrow room to look for work. He considers himself lucky when he finds joy in introducing guests to interesting things in Hue with a motorbike tour.

The first days of starting a business with Quan were not easy, but fortunately, there were relatives to help and support. Quan said: ” When I started doing motorbike tours, I had the guidance and guidance of my father and uncle because we both had experience in transporting foreign tourists to Hue, Da Nang and Hoi An by motorbike.

My grandfather was formerly the Dean of the English Department of the University of Foreign Languages, Hue University, so he taught me to learn English to communicate with foreign guests. My grandparents do hotel business for foreign guests, I would like to work as a receptionist here to talk and sell motorbike tours with guests “.

Since finding his passion, love and enthusiasm for motorbike tours, Quan feels that life is much better, forgets the sad stories of the past, is confident, loves life. Since then, the guy is motivated to try to go to work every day to take care of and serve customers with a sincere heart.
