About Me

Hi I’m Linhy

I’m a travel blogger, content creator, entrepreneur, music creator, and most importantly, a proud mom to one amazing little girl.

My life is built around exploring, creating, learning, and sharing meaningful moments — whether that’s traveling the world with my daughter, building online businesses, understanding the human mind, or turning emotions into music.

My Love for Travel & Motherhood

I love traveling and creating beautiful memories with my child. She took her very first plane ride when she was only 7 months old. Our first trips together included California and a Caribbean cruise — and that was just the beginning.

Traveling with a toddler can be challenging, but it’s always worth it. Watching her discover new places, new cultures, and new experiences fills my heart in ways I can’t even describe.

For me, travel isn’t just about visiting places.
It’s about connection, growth, and shared memories that last a lifetime.

Since she was born, we’ve explored many beautiful destinations together. Seeing the world through her eyes makes every journey even more magical.

Capturing Memories & Sharing the Journey

As a content creator and social media influencer, I love documenting our adventures and sharing them with others. I’m always looking for new places to explore and meaningful experiences to capture.

Through photos, stories, and videos, I share real moments from our travels, our everyday life, and the lessons I learn along the way.

My goal is simple — to inspire families to explore the world, create memories together, and live fully.

My Entrepreneurial Journey

My entrepreneurial journey started when I was 25 years old, driven by my long-time passion for skincare.

I began with one physical location, which later grew into two stores, along with an online skincare business. I partnered with brands from around the world and offered high-quality skincare solutions for different skin types.

Running my own business taught me so much — discipline, resilience, creativity, and the courage to take risks. It allowed me to grow not just as a business owner, but as a person.

Eventually, I sold my physical stores and continued running my business online so I could have more flexibility and freedom.

My Passion for Psychology & Understanding People

In 2016, I made a life-changing decision to follow another passion of mine — health and psychology, especially child development.

I wanted to understand how people think, feel, and grow. I was especially curious about children — how they experience the world and why they behave the way they do.

I completed my bachelor’s degree with a minor in psychology and later pursued graduate studies specializing in mental health.

This journey gave me a deeper understanding of human behavior, emotions, and development — knowledge that helps me not only as a parent, but also in how I connect with others and see the world.

Rediscovering My First Love — Music

Long before travel, business, or psychology became part of my life, music was my very first passion.

As a child, I dreamed of singing. Music lit something up inside me — something deep and emotional that I couldn’t fully explain. But like many Asian parents, mine wanted me to choose a more “secure” path, like becoming a doctor or dentist. Music didn’t feel like a realistic option, so I quietly set that dream aside for many years.

Even though I didn’t pursue music professionally, the passion never left me.

I’ve always felt emotions deeply, and sometimes words alone aren’t enough to express what’s inside my heart. When I discovered I could create my own songs using modern tools, everything changed.

It felt like reconnecting with a part of myself I had hidden for so long.

Today, I create music from the heart — songs inspired by real emotions, personal stories, and meaningful moments in my life. Music has become one of my most powerful ways to express myself and connect with others.

In many ways, I finally followed the dream I had as a little girl.

Why I Started This Blog

I love sharing what I’ve learned from traveling the world, creating music, building online businesses, studying psychology, and being a mom.

This blog is my space to share experiences, lessons, ideas, and inspiration — all in one place.

If something I share helps someone feel inspired, understood, or encouraged to follow their own path, then I know I’m doing something meaningful.

Let’s Connect

I truly believe that having kids shouldn’t stop us from living fully, exploring the world, or following our passions.

Life is meant to be experienced — through travel, creativity, growth, and meaningful moments.

Whether I’m exploring new places with my daughter, creating music from the heart, or sharing my journey online, my goal is to inspire others to follow what lights them up inside.

You can follow our adventures on Instagram (@Linhybanh and @Layla.and.I), where we share our travels, memories, and everyday moments.

Let’s explore, grow, and create beautiful memories together.
