We're opening an art studio!

Though we've been on a travel hiatus we've still been keeping busy. If there's one thing this pandemic has taught us it's the importance of community.

We're excited to open up our own community art studio in a gem of a location in HaiPhong. The crowds are already coming 🐮. Can you guess where it is? Stay tuned for more...

Hey HaiPhong!

Thank you for your generous donations at our last trivia event. Here's an update from Blue Dragon Children's Foundation on how your contributions have been put to use:

I'm Chi from Blue Dragon. Thank you so much for offering your help to those kids and families affected by the major flood in Central Vietnam. Another typhoon hit central Vietnam last week and left trails of destruction. Many families have lost their incomes for months because of COVID-19. Storms and floods hit when things just started to get back. But we can tell them that they will be ok thanks to your support!

This picture was taken when we finally reached a family in a very isolated area to distribute emergency package. I want to share this moment with you all so you can see all the smiles you’ve drawn in the faces of families who are going through great difficulty.

Please find below the receipt and feel free to share it with your fabulous community so that they know about the impact they made happen.

Best Regards,
Kim-Chi.

The village we will visit on our Water Puppet Excursion has an outdoor theatre and hasn't seen tourists come to see their shows in nearly 2.5 years. The last 2 puppet masters are nearing 80 years of age and have no apprentices. Come help support this traditional performance :)

Vietnam has done a great job of handling the Covid-19 outbreak. Though we have been sheltered from the pandemic for months, we now must take precautions again. After new positive cases surfaced last week, we will be cancelling our upcoming summer tours until further notice in order to protect our travellers and the Hmong community in Sapa. Stay tuned for more updates. We are proud of Vietnam's quick response and we'll surely get back to the "new normal" in no time.

Some results from our embroidery workshop on our Ninh Binh Discovery trip. Looking professional!

17/07/2020

Did you know that Ninh Binh is famous for their lace embroidery? As early as the 13th century they began embroidering the robes of the royal family and became renowned all over Vietnam. Join our workshop in Ninh Binh next weekend to learn this ancient craft.

Did you know that every conical hat (non la) you see has been made by hand? We visited the only village that makes their conical hats with 16 rings! The more rings, the better the quality. Next time you see a conical hat count the rings...

11/05/2020

We visited a small village just outside of our home city of HaiPhong, Vietnam. Upon arrival we were greeted by a lovely man who insisted we sit down and drink some of his home grown tea. It tasted amazing, so we asked what kind of tea it was. He told us....it's just normal green tea. 😂🍃

10/05/2020

We spotted these neatly arranged nest-like bundles drying roadside outside of Hanoi. Can you guess what they are? Click the photos for the answer. 😉

09/05/2020

Conical hats, known as "nón lá" in Vietnamese, are an iconic symbol in this part of the world. We wanted to know how the hats were made, so we visited Ta Thu Hương; famous across Vietnam for her expert craftsmanship. These hats can take up to 2 days to finish, and after trying it for ourselves we'll never look at one the same way again! They really are a work of art.

07/05/2020

Tourist destinations are now opening in Vietnam for domestic travellers. We are taking this time to visit some interesting places and create new and exciting workshops with local people! We've got some good things coming your way...

Here's a couple of snaps from our recent trip learning the ancient tradition of betel nut chewing.

It's you know what that means....

Come on a virtual exploration of Ninh Binh with us, the ancient home of 3 imperial dynasties. Most of the region has been carved out by ancient glaciers, leaving the karst mountains watching over the rice paddies and rivers below. Come and see why this was the first capital of Vietnam.

Only two hours from Hanoi, Ninh Binh is home to a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Vietnam’s former fe

It's , and since we're stuck at home come take a virtual 360 tour of Halong Bay with us!

This is our favorite location nestled in the UNESCO world heritage site: Viet Hai Village in Lan Ha Bay (bordering Ha Long).

We know it's hard for our fellow adventurers to hang up their shoes during this time. We can't take you out just yet, but we can share virtual tours through some of Vietnam's best sites each Tuesday. ✈️ 🛋

A food tour in HaiPhong city isn't complete without some Bún chả. The smell of the barbecue filling the streets draws in many hungry passersby.
