Vien has a degree in Architecture, worked on infrastructure projects for years, as well as other jobs not related to her chosen career. Besides being an avid reader and gardener, she is a creative person, decorating and crafting when time permits. She also loves travelling and hiking with her husband - an outdoor enthusiast. They like discovering new places, historical towns and amazing natural wonders.

Travelling led her into writing books, not only to share their experience with family and friends but also to share the knowledge they learned from travelling.
