About

Welcome to Letters from Hio 🥰

This is my personal collection of quiet reflections — written between shrine visits, train rides, solo travel trips, rainy evenings, and moments when I remember to capture and store.

 

I moved to Japan by following a feeling I couldn’t ignore. I left Vietnam to live a life that felt real — even if it’s meant doing it alone. Here, I’ve started over. Not in the dramatic sense, but in the quiet, persistent rhythm of everyday courage: learning a new language, drinking tea, lighting incense for no reason other than it calms my heart. Life is all about enjoying itself through every single moment, right?

 

This blog is where I write about that journey – my journey.

 

You’ll find letters from me with a “Dear you” as my welcome, cultural moments, hints of magic, and personal stories — all woven together by a deep love for Japan and the small things that make life feel full. I hope these letters reach those who are also searching, healing, or simply listening.

 

Thank you for reading. I’m truly glad you’re here.

 

Warmly,

Hio
