About Sophie

Write a review
Hello and warm greetings from Vietnam! My name is Sophie - a proud citizen and a daughter of Vietnam. I was born and raised in this beautiful country, which is rich in culture, history, and natural wonders. I have a deep passion for travel and photography when I was young. Exploring new places, capturing meaningful moments, and telling stories through images brings me joy. I want to share the beauty and charm of Vietnam not only with friends, but also with people around the world. That’s why I’m here. I currently work as a travel consultant, with the mission of helping international travelers discover the breathtaking landscapes and vibrant cultures of Vietnam and the Indochina region. Whether it's the misty mountains in the north, the glowing lanterns of Hội An, or the serene beaches of Phú Quốc, I aim to bring authentic and unforgettable experiences to every guest.

Sophie's Expertise

I focus on creating customized tours throughout Vietnam and the Indochina region (including Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and more), offering a blend of traditional highlights and unique local experiences. My tours feature activities such as trekking, kayaking, cycling, motorbike adventures, and community-based tourism. Thanks to my deep local knowledge, I’m able to craft personalized itineraries that are both culturally immersive and authentic. On a personal note, I was born in the mountainous regions of Vietnam, which gives me particular expertise and insight into this area.

Best Travel Experience

I already had a really memorable experience when I was a university student, on my birthday in June. I had the chance to go to Sì Thâu Chải, a village located in the Northwest region of Vietnam. The village is situated at an altitude of about 1,200 to 1,500 meters above sea level, creating a cool climate year-round and stunning mountainous scenery. We traveled there by motorbike. The road was mostly steep and winding through high mountains; it seemed like there was no flat road at all, so the journey was quite risky. Upon arrival, the weather was incredibly cool, accompanied by beautiful seas of clouds. The local people were extremely friendly, and everything there felt like it was moving in slow motion. I really enjoyed this trip and have always remembered it, even after several years. The beautiful scenery definitely left a strong impression on visitors, but for me, it was the people and the culture of that place that made it unforgettable. I am sure I will come back many times.

Why is Sophie the right travel expert?

As a local travel expert, my priority is always the experience of my guests: how they feel, what they take away from each destination, and the memories they create. Whether you're traveling on a modest budget or looking for a more luxurious journey, I believe that everyone deserves a thoughtfully planned and meaningful travel experience. I pay close attention to every detail, from the quality of our guides and tours to the cultural authenticity of each place you visit. My goal is to ensure that every moment of your trip feels personal, enjoyable, and truly connected to the heart of our country. I believe that with my motto in tourism: 'Treat every guest like a friend, not a customer', I can offer each traveler a unique and competitive experience. I'm now looking forward to welcoming you to Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and Myanmar!
