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.

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
