An exciting opportunity awaits fans and readers as they get to meet the renowned Tina Yuan at The Wiselands Coffee, 24 Quang Trung, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi, on June 28. This exclusive event marks the official launch of her latest books, offering an intimate glimpse into her captivating journeys.

Tina Yuan, a Vietnamese author based in Singapore, has a unique perspective to share. With her fluency in multiple languages and a passion for travel, she has explored over 100 countries, enriching her writing with diverse cultural insights.
“Journeys Through the Homeland” is an ode to Vietnam, a country that has shaped her identity and inspired her creative journey. Through her honest and evocative prose, readers are transported to the peaceful river deltas, misty mountain ranges, and the vibrant urban life of Vietnam, experiencing the country through her attentive eye.

This travelogue delves deeper than mere geography, as Tina takes readers on a journey through memory lanes. It is a tribute to the people and experiences that have left an indelible mark on her life, from her grandfather’s stories nurturing her national pride to friends who added sweetness and warmth to her everyday life.
“Journeys Through the Homeland” is a sincere expression of love for her homeland, told with emotional depth and a simple yet profoundly moving style that will resonate with readers.
In contrast, “Under the Greek Blue Sky” invites readers to embark on a poetic travel memoir, where ancient myths come alive through timeless ruins and the iconic blue of the Aegean Sea. Tina’s introspective reflections and delicate emotional responses to Greece create a unique narrative.

For Tina, Greece was more than just a foreign country; it was a portal to a different world. History, art, cuisine, and humanity intertwine in her experiences, from local culinary delights to fleeting encounters and tender love stories. Her writing captures the essence of Greece with a quiet yet powerful feminine voice.
“Under the Greek Blue Sky” is a journey of self-discovery, where each step in a foreign land mirrors a deeper understanding of oneself. It serves as a reminder that the unfamiliar can become a reflection of our most genuine selves.
“Publishing these two books simultaneously was a challenge I embraced,” Tina reveals. “I wanted to showcase that creativity stems from a deep love for people, beauty, and truth, no matter where we find ourselves.”
With these works, Tina Yuan showcases a remarkable evolution in her writing, transitioning from intimate self-narratives to a broader, more nuanced exploration of culture, humanity, and the universal emotions that connect us all, transcending borders.
