Im Deepali Chodankar From Goa! As a mother and digital influencer, I aspire to inspire others by showcasing authentic experiences that balance family, career, and personal growth. A trip to Vietnam presents a chance to explore its captivating culture, cuisine, and landscapes while broadening my content horizons. Immersing myself in Vietnam's vibrant traditions would allow me to create meaningful stories that resonate with my audience and provide my child with a glimpse of the world’s diversity. This journey would not only enrich my creative perspective but also strengthen my role as a storyteller and mother navigating the beautiful balance of work and life.

Food as a Bridge Between Cultures Travel is about connection, and food is a universal language. It is a bridge that brings travelers and locals together, creating moments of shared experience. Sitting down at a family-run restaurant in Vietnam or a street food stall in India, one quickly realizes that the simple act of sharing a meal can overcome any cultural barrier. Whether you speak the same language or not, the joy of delicious food needs no translation. In conclusion, discovering the cuisine of a place is one of the most meaningful parts of any journey. It’s a way to immerse oneself in the heart of a culture, to understand its people, and to appreciate the diversity of our world. For any traveler, the real adventure begins with the first taste. So, let’s explore the world, one meal at a time. ** it's truly my dream to sit in a local restaurant in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, have conversations with the locals, share Indian culture with them, and understand their culture. I have previously traveled to Thailand, Malaysia, and Bali specifically to try the local cuisine, understand the significance of local food and culture, and when I return to India, I share this with people here, encouraging them to visit those places as well. truly feel that if I get this opportunity and I am able to travel to Vietnam, I will consider myself very fortunate. I will be able to explore Vietnamese food thoroughly and promote it well in India, encouraging my friends and family to visit Vietnam and enjoy its beautiful landscapes, culture, and food. Thank you, VietJet team, for this wonderful opportunity!

One of the most common questions people ask me about my travels is "how do I convince my parents to let me travel to all these places " Truth is when i started travelling i got strong resistance from my parents especially when i wanted to travel solo. I've always had the privilege of making my own choices. I typically inform them of my travel plans when i have almost everything booked and i might have to leave in someday. Even if my parents do not agree with my choices they have not interfered with them. I m well aware, even this is a privilege that not many have. But over the time they have changed, atleast i no longer recieve dramatic expressions from them. My first trip to vietnam is one that even i was surprised to know that they didn't have any issue but just wanted to know my itinerary to ensure i travel safe. Freedom alone may not guarantee happiness, but it sure is a good starting point. By Freedom, i dont mean about being able to travel to different country or running away to mountains. But the freedom to choose what each of us want in our lives. Although my last trip to Vietnam was short, still i was able to get a glimpse of soul of the country. Someday i hope i can return back to Vietnam and get to see more of the country side and many more beautiful memories the country has to offer.
