Nestled high in the North West region of Vietnam is a small village called Ta’Van. Here you will find three different ethnic groups of Vietnamese people living in harmony.

In this episode Steve shares a heartwarming connection with Giang, although not local to the region Giang is a big part of this close knit community. His coffee shop/bar is on the village main road ( although it’s so small it feels more like a hamlet )

Giang's immediate warmth and welcoming spirit is evident in his gleaming smile and embrace. Passionate about Nature , family and what he calls ‘slow living’.

As the crackle in the open fire in the middle of the shop burns away , Giang talks about his younger life growing up without any modern day conveniences like electricity or television. He reminisces about days spent playing outside in nature and huddling around the central fireplace as a family. The fire is a deeply symbolic community hub for Giang. Communication and storytelling is of the greatest importance to him. Giang’s love for nature and treading lightly is evident in his expression. His dream is to plant a forest in a loving act of giving back to what Nature ultimately gave him - peace and harmony.
