About Me

Ha Long Bay
Ha Long Bay

When it comes to planning an unforgettable journey through Vietnam, I bring more than just logistics. I bring lived experience, personal connection, and a deep love for this vibrant, complex, and endlessly fascinating country.

From the moment I arrived in Ho Chi Minh City, dodging scooters and biting into a $2 bánh mì from a street cart that blew my mind, I knew Vietnam had its hooks in me. I’ve ridden the iconic coastal train, watching rice paddies blur into ocean views, stopped off in beach towns like Nha Trang to swim in turquoise waters, and even bought hand-painted artwork from a vendor who just happened to walk by at the right time.

My journeys have taken me from the buzzing energy of Hanoi, where I wandered the Vietnamese Fine Arts Museum and fell in love with the depth of modern Vietnamese creativity — to the quiet majesty of Ha Long Bay, floating through ancient limestone caves that feel like another world all together.

Along the way, I’ve met travelers from every corner of the globe & sharing stories over egg coffee, laughing on overnight trains, and always, always eating. Vietnamese food is not just a highlight, it’s a reason to travel all on its own. Whether it’s delicate bowls of ph?, smoky grilled meats wrapped in fresh herbs, or fiery dipping sauces that make your eyes water and your heart race, I know where to find the real thing — and how to plan a trip around it.

Vietnam is not a check off the list, it's a place I understand now. And when I plan a trip for you, it’s personal. Whether you're after high-energy cities, peaceful beaches, cultural deep-dives, or just really, really good food, I’ll build an itinerary that’s thoughtful, balanced, and full of moments you’ll never forget.

Let’s design your dream trip through Vietnam... one motorbike ride, night market, and seaside sunrise at a time.

Chi-Town
Reviewed By Griffin T - Dallas, Texas | Traveled to Chicago | Illinois | USA
Thanks Emily for a well planned weekend in Chicago. We are all married with kids and wanted to plan a trip away. She recommended the best restaurants (Chicago's food scene is unreal) —we all left a few pounds heavier. Luckily we didn't have any flying delays. 5 stars!

Perfect Trip to Lefkada
Reviewed By Priscilla Trent - New York | Traveled to Lefkada | Greece | Europe
Emily coordinated a trip for my family to go to Lefkada-- and it was incredible. We loved the greenery that the Ionian side of Greece offered. From the amazing food to the breathtaking landscapes, this was exactly what we needed to escape the hustle and bustle of the City. Thanks Emily!

Trip down to SB
Reviewed By Xavier - Bay Area | Traveled to Santa Barbara | California | USA
We live in the bay area so aren't very far away from Santa Barbara. We wanted to get away from the kids for a romantic anniversary weekend. Emily is quite the romantic herself!! She planned couples massages, an intimate dinner and a wine tour! The best part? On the wine tour I was connected with an old friend from the reserves. Small world! The only thing I would have changed was the checkout said Noon and they wanted us out by 11, but it ended up being ok.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
