In this episode, Kenneth sits down with Chris Tran from Chris Tran Travels to explore the complexities of identity and culture as third-culture kids. We both share the challenges of spreading Vietnamese culture, despite our deep love for our work and mission. We dive into the work he’s doing by teaching the Vietnamese language to overseas Vietnamese American and other students, and the importance of cultural preservation in today’s world.
Additionally, Chris shares exciting details about his new venture, the Heritage Tour, where he takes people on immersive journeys to explore Vietnam’s rich history and heritage. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation on identity, culture, and the power of teaching the next generation.
