Vincent Phan

Vinny was born and raised in Paris, France where his early love for books was sparked by the city's unrivalled richness in culture, history and literary lifestyle. As he entered the corporate world, he quickly realised he had taken the wrong path. He quit his job to pursue a PhD in philosophy while working as an indie book seller and running book clubs for curious minds. Following his passion to inspire people to read more, he founded 1000 libraries - a travel & literary lifestyle blog - to help people discover beautiful book places all around the world.

1000 Libraries went on the become the largest online community of book lovers in the world.

As an unapologetic introvert and book nerd - he dreams of a world where books are cool again, where people spend less time on screens and more time unwinding and losing themselves in books.
