WordCamping around Asia in good company

February 14, 2017

Dat Hoang from Vietnam and Emerson Maningo from the Philippines, traveled together to attend 2 WordCamps: WordCamp Denpasar and WordCamp Manila. For Emerson it was his first experience at a WordPress event, as opposed to Dat, who has attended several events before.

Both of them spoke at the 2 WordCamps. Emerson shared his impressions: “I was a bit nervous, though I am used to speaking at different events. We were the only foreigners but the organizers were very  helpful, which was very positive. The second time I was more relaxed.” Dat: “It was not my first time. I had attended many WordCamps before. Everything was fine.”

They enjoy their roles as speakers. Emerson likes preparing the talks and rehearsing. Dat does too and he would also enjoy taking on the role of an organizer someday. For the future, Dat is looking forward to attending WordCamp Bangkok and other WordCamps which may take place nearby. Emerson is not expecting any event for the time being, although he is willing to attend if there will be one in the Philippines or in any neighbouring country, like Malaysia.
In conclusion, these WordPress enthusiasts want to express their gratitude to OnTheGoSystems for giving them the opportunity to attend and participate in several WordCamps. Emerson, specifically, mentioned how grateful he was to Dat for insisting he tried. He was reluctant to attend at first. He thought it would be a waste of time. In the end, it turned out to be a great experience. They have enjoyed the events together in each other’s company and look forward to many more.
