Jenn Tran is promising surprises, a great group of guys and an ending she is “very happy” with as her “Bachelorette” journey begins.

“It was an absolutely amazing experience, and I honestly just can’t wait to watch it all back,” Tran told “Good Morning America” on Monday. “I feel like this chapter of my life happened and I’m like, ‘Did it actually happen?'”

Tran made headlines in March when she was announced as the newest Bachelorette, the first Asian American woman to be in the role — a fact she said she doesn’t take lightly.

“It’s so important to me. Honestly, I think about it every day, and I feel so honored and grateful to even be sitting here and doing this,” she said.
