About Ann

Sep 2020, I came to Germany to start over with only 3000€ in cash as the block account was a family loan I shouldn’t touch. I started my journey in Germany as a college dropout and an immigrant without money, in the middle of the pandemic. Fast forward, I have successfully established a comfortable life full of love, joy, and happiness, within the “comfort” of half the earth away from home. I am now a postgrad student, a scholarship holder, a published poet-author, and a content creator. I share my journey to connect and inspire people, with a tad of humor and whole lot of aesthetics. If you want to join me on my journey, you can find me on Instagram @halloanh_. I promise you with all the ups and downs, all the milestones and setbacks, all the learnings and most importantly, as a fellow international student, you wouldn’t feel alone.

It’s easy to highlight differences, but let us consider the similarity between the people, culturally and humanly. It’s evident to discriminate, but let us find out the resemblance between two nations, respectfully and diplomatically.© DAAD/ Anh-Hoang

I did not even choose Passau at first, all I thought of was just to come to any place in Germany, so that I can improve my language skills. Just that. In a nutshell, it was not Passau that I chose, but it was me that Passau – the university city that chose me.© DAAD/ Anh-Hoang
