From the Trip Host

My name is Cindy and I am a travel influencer and content creator. You may know me as @MissCindyLien on Instagram. I am so excited to be hosting this trip to Vietnam. Vietnam is my home country and I have had the luxury of visiting 2 times before. When I travelled back home previously, I spent all my time where I was born. That's why I wanted to make this trip extremely meaningful and incredible, reaching the corners of Vietnam where most people don't get to see, and incorporating experiences that are truly once in a lifetime. This trip will be special, and I can't wait to explore my beautiful country with you as we eat, shop, eat, dance, and did I say eat? Yes! We will eat.
