Life,
distilled into stories.

I’m Uyenha — a Vietnamese living in Canada, traveling the world and embracing life, one story at a time.

“Cognito, ergo sum”. If, according to Descartes, thinking is how we know we exist, then writing is how I know that I truly live.

Writing for me is distilling all the complexities of my life into a simple narrative. When I write, I have a second chance to contemplate events, to know that I am still alive, to feel the world with all my senses and understand love.
