Vietnam Awaits
A budget travel trip filled with local food, culture, customs, and experiences.
March 22-29, 2025
experience Vietnam the local way
Designed with a local-first approach, our guides have created a tour with local foods, customs, cultures, and experiences throughout the entire trip. In fact, I’ve even asked them to bring us to places they eat – not where they think we want to eat. You’ll also have plenty of flexible time to explore on your own.
Go to Vietnam, return a budget traveler
(because we believe in local-first, affordable itineraries)
Custom coaching sessions specific to your trip to Vietnam
Meet with me after you book your spot for a points and miles strategy for your airfare.
Group coaching sessions prior to the trip
Participate in two group coaching sessions on budget travel hacking and travel topics.

Meet Intrepid
I have loved working with Intrepid Travel for my group tour experiences. They go above and beyond to make sure I’m creating a local experience as close to how I travel as possible.
Intrepid works within my budget while still offering an unbelievable experience. And as a certified b-corp, you know you’re getting an ethical trip.
Is Vietnam right for you? probably.
I spent a week in Vietnam back in 2017, exploring the beaches, getting custom clothes tailored, eating Pho while sweating profusely at a small stall, lighting lanterns at night… All to say every day I was falling in love with the beauty of the people and the scenery.
And I’m so excited for you to experience it, too. So if you have a sense of adventure and willingness to go to the other side of the world together… this trip is made for you.
