Travel has always been more than just a hobby for me—it’s a way to experience the world, its people, and their stories. My journey began this year with my first international trip to Prague, Czech Republic, in November 2024. This trip, sponsored by Skoda India as part of the “Name Your Car” contest, was a dream come true and a stepping stone toward my ultimate goal of exploring the world. Before traveling abroad, I focused on discovering my own country, India. With its 29 states, each having unique languages, cultures, and cuisines, India is a place of endless learning. I’ve traveled to 10 states, including Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Ladakh, each offering unforgettable experiences—from meeting local communities to savoring authentic dishes and exploring new traditions. Now, my next dream destination is Vietnam. This isn’t just another place on a map—it’s a country that inspires me with its vibrant culture, history, and landscapes. I can imagine myself exploring Ha Long Bay’s emerald waters, walking through the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An, and capturing the peaceful beauty of the terraced rice fields in Sapa. As a food lover, Vietnam’s street food scene excites me. I can’t wait to try pho, banh mi, and other authentic dishes while learning about their rich culinary traditions. As an amateur photographer, I see Vietnam as a perfect canvas to capture the energy of its bustling markets, the serenity of its temples, and the warmth of its people. Winning this trip would mean so much more than just travel. It’s about meeting new people, exchanging stories, and growing as a person. Vietnam will not only give me a deeper appreciation of its culture but will also inspire me to keep exploring and sharing these experiences with others. This journey is part of a bigger dream—to travel the world, one story and one connection at a time. Let Vietjet help me write the next chapter of this journey in Vietnam.

So it starts from my working background as I am a passionate travel agent to likes to travel also. I have been to 3 countries already and had a layover in Vietnam also. I have flown with Vietjet airlines 4 times and really like the affordability. I like exploring different cultures and languages and have a dream to travel the whole world. I hope it comes true. Ever since I was a child, I’ve been enchanted by the idea of exploring different cultures. The allure of unfamiliar lands, diverse traditions, and the chance to connect with people whose lives were so different from my own has always been irresistible. My travels have taken me to many places, but there are three countries that have deeply impacted me: Thailand, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka. Each destination offered unique experiences that broadened my perspective and deepened my appreciation for the world's cultural diversity. Thailand: A Land of Smiles and SpiritualityMy journey began in Thailand, where I was instantly struck by the warmth of the people. In Bangkok, the Grand Palace's grandeur left me in awe, while the quiet reverence during early morning alms-giving ceremonies made me appreciate the deep spiritual connection of the Thai people to Buddhism. Celebrating Songkran in Chiang Mai was a mix of joyful chaos and meaningful traditions, embodying the Thai balance of fun and faith. Indonesia: A Tapestry of TraditionsIndonesia, with its vast archipelago, offers a cultural richness that’s hard to match. In Bali, I witnessed the island’s deep spirituality, where every dance and ceremony seemed to connect the people to their Hindu roots. Java introduced me to the architectural wonders of Borobudur and Prambanan, symbols of Indonesia’s religious diversity. And in Sumatra, I was welcomed by the Batak people, whose music and dance brought their unique culture to life. Sri Lanka: A Cultural Crossroads. Sri Lanka, the "Pearl of the Indian Ocean," offered a blend of cultures shaped by centuries of history. In Colombo, the vibrant Pettah Market introduced me to the island’s rich trading heritage. Galle, with its colonial fort, was a fascinating mix of European and South Asian influences. But it was in the central highlands, among the tea plantations, where I truly connected with the local culture, sharing tea and stories with the hardworking women who harvest the leaves.My time in these three countries has shown me that exploring different cultures is not just about seeing new places—it’s about connecting with people, understanding their way of life, and embracing the diversity that makes our world so rich. Each journey leaves me with new insights and a deeper respect for the traditions that shape our lives.

I have a deep admiration for Vietnamese cuisine and culture. The way food is prepared in Vietnam is truly captivating, from iconic dishes like bún chả and phở to beverages such as rice wine and Hanoi beer. My passion for Vietnamese food has been further fueled by watching creators like Sonny Side from Best Ever Food Review Show and Passenger Paramvir, who provide engaging insights into the vibrant food scene. Their content vividly showcases not only the diverse cuisine but also the warmth and hospitality of the Vietnamese people, making each meal a acultural experience. Beyond the food, Vietnam’s culture, with its bustling street markets, lively traditions, and scenic landscapes, holds an irresistible allure. These elements combine to create a vivid picture of a country that seamlessly blends history with modernity. Inspired by these stories and experiences, I’m eager to explore Vietnam firsthand to savor its flavors, immerse myself in its culture, and experience the charm that makes it a truly extraordinary destination. I am genuinely eager to experience Vietnam’s authentic culture, especially in its rural areas, such as Tra Que Vegetable Village and Pom Coong Village.
