About
A travel blog by a local guide living in Vietnam, sharing places, food and practical ideas to help you explore the country.
Hello, and welcome to Vietnam Trip Notes. I am a local guide living in Vietnam, and I created this blog to share my love of traveling and help more people discover the country I call home.
I enjoy exploring new places, learning about local life and discovering food along the way. This blog is where I share travel notes, reviews and useful details that can help you decide where to go, what to try and how to prepare.
Vietnam Trip Notes is written in English for international visitors. Whether you are arriving for the first time, traveling independently or planning a trip with your partner or family, my aim is to make the practical side of your journey easier to understand.
You will find destination guides, regional food notes, ideas for where to stay and advice on getting around. I want to introduce you to more than a checklist of sights: the neighborhoods, everyday details and small discoveries that make a place worth exploring.
Living in Vietnam provides a local perspective, but each article still needs to be clear about what it covers. I distinguish personal experiences from researched guidance, link useful sources and welcome corrections when information changes.
Local perspective, useful details and a clear basis for each recommendation.
Share the details that help visitors understand a place, from regional dishes and daily routines to choosing a neighborhood and planning a realistic day.
Explain who a place or experience may suit and the tradeoffs to consider. Personal reviews describe actual experiences; researched guides make their sources clear.
Use official sources for entry requirements and rules, and date checks where details may change. Prices, opening hours and availability should be confirmed before a visit.
I write under the name Vietnam Trip Notes, sharing my interest in travel and life in Vietnam with readers from around the world.
