Mike Nguyen

Have you ever walked on the street and come across an image of another young person with unique Vans shoes that you have never seen, even though you are a genuine Vans believer? Then most likely you have the right pair of custom Vans already. The custom movement has been established for a long time and is popular in the fashion world because of its individuality and unique style characteristics. Likewise, customizing a trip with your own personal imprint is no longer a luxury option. Especially in Vietnam, a country that is hospitable, cheap and full of local cultural places.

Tired of standard travel itineraries and average service?

COVID led us to re-assess practically everything about our lives, including our travel habits. After months of being trapped indoors dreaming up our future travels, cookie-cutter itineraries simply won’t cut it anymore.

With the cost of living - and travel - increasing, holidaymakers want their trips to be transformative, not throwaway. This meansthink-outside-the-box adventures that are personalised in virtually every way. Hyper-personalised, if you will.
