Vietnam, the place for the spirited traveler

Ha long Bay

Vietnam. To each of us, this country brings to mind a diverse set of thoughts and images. If you are amongst those who had the pleasure to travel to Vietnam, this country, the word may bring to mind that time you savored calming beauty of the breeze dancing through the rice stalks in one of the Vietnams many paddy fields in Muong Hoa Valley, or it may make you reminiscence of a sea kayak journey into the otherworldly splendor of Northern Vietnams famed Ha Long Bay. 

Vietnam is a place for the spirited traveler.  Fancy exploration or eager to relish a brand new adventure? Craving a little flavor in your cuisine or determined it’s time to add a new cuisine to your culinary skills? Desire a road trip or a trek into lush biodiversity and dramatic scenery? From spectacular views, tropical islands, blissful beaches, and succulent food, we recommend you put Vietnam on your bucket list of must see countries. 

This exquisite country holds many diverse enchantments that has made it a fine place for exploration and discovery.  A country that has seen distressing war, Vietnam has absorbed the imprints left by her French, Americans and Chinese interlopers.

This Southeast Asian country is enclosed by China, Laos and Cambodia. The capital Hanoi, which means a city lying between rivers was baptized by King Minh Mang of the Nguyen Dynasty. Hanoi is considered Vietnam's cultural center, and we recommend you enjoy the puppet shows, unique music, and dance performances that will be a worthy investment of your time and currency. The city’s streets are enchantingly intimate, winding and are packed with bustling street vendors, and traffic whizzing past clusters of pedestrians and yet the city manages to preserve a serene air with its many small lakes dotted along the city. Step on to the famed Old Quarter and be stunned by the maze of 36 streets, each named for the commodities once sold there by businessmen from as early as the beginning of the 13^th century. Itching for greener pastures? Then head out to Sa Pa, which is situated near the Chinese border. This mountainous town will greet you with the scenic views and is ideal for trekking or for a strong dash of Vietnamese culture.
