Traveling has always been a way for me to get out of my comfort zone, and I knew traveling to Vietnam would be no different. This trip will be more than just discovering new places—it will be an opportunity for me to grow in ways I can’t even fully anticipate. The rich and diverse culture of Vietnam is something I am interested in experiencing for myself. Whether trying street food in Hanoi or learning about local traditions, I know this trip will expand my understanding of the world. Reading about a place is one thing, but living in it even briefly is quite another. By interacting with people and their way of life, I will gain a new appreciation for different cultures, which will make me more open-minded and empathetic. I read about the history of Vietnam, especially the Vietnam War, but visiting places like the Cu Chi Tunnels and the War Relics Museum gives us an unseen perspective Seeing these places and hearing stories from Vietnamese people would defy logic if I have about history and it has helped me look at the nuances of the world more. It’s one thing to learn about history in class; It’s another thing to live where it happened. The natural beauty of Vietnam is something I’m really looking forward to. Whether it’s the serene rice terraces of Sapa or the stunning waters of Ha Long Bay, I know I’ll be more connected to the landscape. This trip will remind us of the importance of preserving the environment and inspire us to live in a sustainable manner. Being in nature always clears my mind, and I believe that Vietnam will give me more opportunities to think. Traveling in a country where I don't speak the language and know nothing will be difficult, but I am ready for it. Every time I figure out how to navigate a new situation—whether it’s ordering food or finding my way around a busy city—it gives me confidence. These small victories will remind me that I can handle whatever life throws my way. Ultimately, I knew this trip would give me time to figure out what was most important to me. When I’m away from home routines and distractions, I have space to reflect on my values and goals. Seeing how people live in Vietnam, often focused on family and community, can inspire me to reevaluate my own priorities. I hope to come home not only with memories, but with a clear sense of purpose. Ultimately, this trip to Vietnam will be more than just exploring a new country. It will be a journey of personal growth—learning, reflection, and a better version of myself. I’m excited to see how this experience will change me and help me understand myself and the world a little better.

Hey, I am tanay I am student of bachelor in computer application from parul University (online degree) and I am currently interning at company called Bluepen.. For me travelling is like very thrilling I have never been to any other nations but I want to go outside of India I see a lot of youtubers's videos etc which inspires me to just do backpacking travel to other nations and I just want to explore remote parts of the world I am not a big city guy rather i like to see villages's cultures and people in any nation where I will travel to.. So I have never been on any flight in my life that's the reason why I am applying for this.

I am a housewife but I am also a big dreamer. My dream is to travel the whole world and see its culture and enjoy its food. Wherever I go, I bring the beauty of that place with me. Be it the Taj Mahal of Agra or the snowfall in Manali, the river rafting in Rishikesh, the vibes of Juhu beach or the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, I bring them all with me to Delhi and flaunt them. Now my dream is to visit Vietnam . Go to Vietnam, explore the hills there, go to the food shops and shopping markets there. Experience riding a scooty there.

Vietnam has been on my mind for as long as I can remember. As an avid traveler, I’ve always sought places that go beyond just beautiful landscapes—they have to offer something deeper, something that can challenge my perspective and transform me as a person. Vietnam, with its ancient history, vibrant culture, and stunning natural beauty, feels like the perfect place for that journey. I imagine myself walking through the bustling streets of Hanoi, the scent of street food wafting through the air, and the sound of motorbikes buzzing past me. There’s something magical about cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, where tradition and modernity collide in the most unpredictable ways. The local vendors selling pho on the side of the road, the hidden alleyways filled with colorful markets, and the temples that seem to whisper stories of ancient times—each detail feeds my imagination and sparks new creative ideas for my writing and content creation. I can already picture myself sitting in a quiet café by the lake, notebook in hand, observing the lives of people passing by. For an actor and a writer, it’s a dream to be surrounded by such raw, real moments. Every face, every interaction, every smile exchanged or story shared in Vietnam holds a different lesson, a different piece of culture that would challenge me to think beyond my own world. As someone who believes that embracing new cultures makes you a better, more well-rounded person, Vietnam feels like the perfect classroom. And then there’s the natural beauty—Ha Long Bay, with its towering limestone islands and emerald waters, seems like something out of a dream. I want to wake up to the sound of the waves, take a boat out into the bay, and just breathe in the serenity of it all. It’s in places like these where I feel most connected to the world, and that connection often leads to some of my best creative work. Being an actor and content creator, I’ve always felt that the stories we tell are shaped by the experiences we have, and I know that Vietnam will offer experiences that are rich, unexpected, and deeply human. I want to climb the terraced rice fields of Sapa, learn about the country’s history through its war memorials, and immerse myself in the calm of the Mekong Delta. The diversity of Vietnam’s landscapes, cultures, and traditions offers a playground for both the mind and the heart. More than anything, I believe that this journey to Vietnam would help me grow—not just as an artist, but as a person. I’ve always believed that travel, with all its challenges and beauty, helps us see the world more clearly and, in turn, see ourselves more clearly. Vietnam, with its rich history, resilient spirit, and stunning landscapes, is the next chapter in my journey of self-discovery, and I can’t wait to see what it teaches me.
