Tan Anh shared, due to busy work, even when taking his mother to travel, he still has to work. “Looking at the photos I shared, many of you think this is a luxury and high-class resort, but it is not. I combine work and travel. There are many times when I have to sit with coffee and eat bread while waiting for my children to work. My mother was not angry, but even sympathized with me,” Tan Anh shared.

According to him, mother is the best companion on trips. “For my mother, my concern makes her happy. For me, my mother’s trust makes me more motivated,” the young man shared.
