Vu Tan

Tan grew up with his parents in Hong Phong, a small town about 100 kilometres east of Hanoi, a rice growing area not far from Ha Long Bay. He developed a love of travel and art even as a boy and began to dream about living and working in the city.

Tan attended primary and secondary school at Dong Trieu. He then attended Hanoi Industrial Fine Arts University, majoring in fine arts and language.

After graduating, Tan began work in the travel industry.

Tan lives in Quan Nhan, a suburb of Hanoi, with his wife Nga and daughter Dien.

" A lot of people ask me why I don't work as designer which is my first degree background. It is difficult to respond, but when I was in school I often went out to the countryside and remote places to capture all the beautiful spot to get inspiration for my fine art."

"When I left university I followed my ambition of travelling and bringing tourists from four corner of the world to show them about our country's history, traditional culture from mountain to the sea, from remote place to busy city. That's why I decided to enter the tourism industry. "

Tan now has nearly ten years experience working in the sector.
