Food, glorious food … in Vietnam

Asia, Vietnam

Bowl Of Pho

Vietnam is a spellbinding mix of culture, colour and cuisine and it is one of the fastest growing Asian destinations for Kiwi travellers at the moment. So why is Vietnam so hot right now? 

It’s not just how far your dollar goes on the ground - you don’t need a lot of dong to dine like a deity in Vietnam, you can pick up a steaming hot bowl of delicious Pho streetside from our favourite restaurant in Hanoi’s French Quarter and still get change from $5!

You’ll love the glow and bustle exploring historic Hoi An’s Bach Dang Street night markets illuminated by lanterns and candles and a cacophony of sights, smells and surprises! Quality still only costs cents, but the views looking back across the township are priceless! 

Don’t miss the now insta-famous moments like the bone rattling adrenaline rush of sipping your Vietnamese coffee in Train Street at our favourite cafe as the train literally chugs beside you. 

Expand your culinary repertoire with your market fresh produce at some of the exceptional cooking classes… and then, of course, there are the wellness retreats, the beaches, the history and culture. There are just too many amazing and authentic experiences to mention!

House of Travel High Street Lanes, Christchurch CBD

With over 20 countries visited and four group tours under my belt, I understand just how impactful a well-planned journey can be. Each trip has given me new insights—not only into different cultures and places—but also into what truly makes a travel experience memorable.

I genuinely enjoy the planning process: mapping out itineraries, uncovering hidden gems, and making sure every detail is just right. It’s this same thoughtfulness and enthusiasm I bring to every trip I help design. Whether it’s a relaxed escape, a cultural deep dive, or an adventure-filled group tour, my goal is to create travel experiences that are exciting, seamless, and tailored to you.

When I’m not travelling, you’ll usually find me being a proud (and slightly crazy) dog lady—spending time with my three dogs and competing in dog agility. My love of animals flows into my travel values too, and I’m a big believer in travelling ethically and responsibly, with care and respect for local communities, cultures, and wildlife.
