By being travel lover I with my husband went on to Exploring the Hidden Gems of Vietnam in 2022 on our first wedding anniversary celebration When i first set foot in Hoi an, Vietnam , I was overwhelmed by its beauty. The bustling streets, vibrant colors, and intoxicating aromas filled the air as I made my way through famous lantern boat ride. But little did I know, the true magic lay in the hidden gems waiting to be discovered off the beaten path. One morning, while sipping coffee at a local cafe I struck up a conversation with a friendly barista named sherin . She shared stories of her favorite spots, places that tourists easily overlook, I decided to follow her advice and ventured into the less-traveled areas of the city. My first stop was hoian market, a quaint little market bursting with artisanal goods and handmade crafts. The vendors greeted me with warm smiles and offered samples of delectable treats. I savored Lotus Tes and it tasted like a piece of heaven! I felt a sense of connection here, surrounded by locals who welcomed me like family. Next, I wandered to Ninh binh, a stunning viewpoint that overlooked the city. The sky painted hues of orange and pink during sunset, and I felt a profound sense of gratitude for the day’s experiences. In that moment, I realized that traveling isn’t just about visiting popular attractions; it’s about connecting with the soul of a place. My heart swells every time I think back about those days in Vietnam, a reminder that the most beautiful adventures often lie in the unexpected. 🌟✈️ Help me by my making me win to join on this journey of discovering remaining part of Vietnam where I left my heart and let’s make another trip a treasure hunt

Being a working professional, I believe a lot in having a work life balance and travelling to a new country every year. I love to explore beautiful places in the world to understand different cultures, try new cuisines, meet interesting people, learn new languages and explore beautiful landscapes. Travelling makes me feel complete as i get to learn so much from other cultures and take away beautiful memories with me back home. I have learned ten new languages and also completed a course in Tourism and hospitality management. My recent fascination for South East Asia has made me explore India, Bhutan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Nepal recently and I am really looking forward to covering Vietnam and China as well. Travelling is my hobby profession because recently i have started my Instagram page as a travel influencer and have received an amazing response within the first year itself. I will always continue to travel throughout my life as these memories are the ones that i will carry with myself and remember throughout. I believe that our life is like a waterfall, we have to keep moving, never stop and be open to changes and embrace diversity. I would really be the happiest one on this planet if I win this. I have travelled through VietJet and i must say I am so much impressed by your hospitality, the food served on the flight was delicious and overall it was an amazing experience. From that day, i have dreamt of visiting Vietnam.

I had travelled to Nepal in September 2024 . I had visited 2 cities of Kathmandu and Pokhra. Before my visit ,being an Indian , I had felt that Nepal as a neighboring country will have almost same culture. But to my surprise it has been a different story altogether. The attire, food, worship rituals has cleared much of my doubts. On our first day we had been to Chandragiri mountains in cable trolley in the midst of clouds and found it mesmerizing. Later we had visited Kathmandu Darbar square which is a mix of old and new architecture because many of the monument has been destroyed in 2015 Earthquake. We also went to the museum and also had a glimpse of Living Goddess Royal Kumari which is a prepubescent girl worshipped as the incarnation of goddess Taleju Bhawani. We also visited Swoyambhu Mahachaitya, an ancient religious Buddhist Stupa complex. In the evening while watching the famous Pashupatinath Hindu Temple I was wondering the various cultures the city of Kathmandu is mixed with. In the later part of our travel we visited the most beautiful and well organized city of Pokhra. Our resort was on the banks of famous Fewa Lake. While having an evening walk at the walkway on Fewa lake we wonder how peaceful is the nature of people of Nepal as they were enjoying with their friends an family with all smiling and greeting to the foreigners without any greed. Next day we went to the Pumdikot Mahadev temple of Lord Shiva which is on a hilltop. Situated on 1500 mtr above sea level this place has an amazing viewpoint of Pokhra city and Fewa lake. Pumdikot has the second tallest statue of Shiva in Nepal. The statue itself is 51 feet tall. It sits on a white stupa that adds 57 feet in height, making the entire structure 108 feet high. . The statue premises also has 108 Shiva lingas that encircle the statue On our way back we went to World Peace Pagoda and had spent peaceful time there.Itis a Buddhist monument on Anadu Hill. Later we saw Devis Waterfall whose water forms a tunnel after reaching the bottom.The water forms a tunnel after reaching the bottom. This tunnel is approximately 500 feet (150 m) long and runs 100 feet (30 m) below ground level. On 31 July 1961, a Swiss male-female couple went swimming but the woman drowned in a pit because of the overflow. Her body was recovered three days later in river Phusre with great effort. Her father wished to name it "David's Fall" after her daughter's name but changed to Devi's Fall. Its Nepali name is Patale Chango, which literal meaning is Paatal Ko Chango means "Underworld's Waterfall". Near to it we visited Gupetshwer Mahadev Cave which is an undergound Shiva temple. We had a peaceful and memorable trip to Nepal and I made a promise to visit next time with my family and show them the beauty and culture of this beautiful country.

Exploring the culture of Vietnam is a journey steeped in history, resilience, and vibrant traditions. Each city—Da Nang, Hanoi, Hoi An, and Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)—offers a unique tapestry of experiences that resonate deeply with me. Starting with Hanoi, the capital, its blend of old-world charm and modernity captivates the spirit. Wandering through the narrow streets of the Old Quarter, I feel a pulse of life infused with history. The sound of motorbikes zipping past, the aroma of street food wafting through the air, and the sight of ancient temples create a sensory overload that ignites my curiosity. The rich heritage of Hanoi is palpable, from the serene beauty of Hoan Kiem Lake to the solemnity of the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. Each moment spent here reveals a story, and I yearn to connect with the people, to hear their tales of resilience and hope amid the changing tides of history. Moving south to Hoi An, the ancient town enchants with its preserved architecture and lantern-lit nights. Here, the blend of Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese influences creates a cultural mosaic that speaks of harmony and coexistence. Walking along the riverside, I’m drawn to the artisans crafting intricate lanterns and textiles. The essence of Hoi An lies in its sense of community, where local traditions flourish alongside contemporary artistry. The culinary scene, with its emphasis on fresh ingredients and traditional recipes, beckons me to learn more about the significance of food in Vietnamese culture—how it connects families, generations, and communities. In Da Nang, the coastal city known for its stunning beaches and vibrant nightlife, I am intrigued by the juxtaposition of natural beauty and urban life. The Golden Bridge, with its surreal design held aloft by giant stone hands, symbolizes the bridging of tradition and innovation. Da Nang represents the forward-looking spirit of Vietnam, where the past is honored while embracing the future. I feel a strong pull to explore its dynamic art scene and the bustling markets that reflect the city's diverse influences, eager to understand how this evolution shapes the identity of its people. Lastly, Ho Chi Minh City—a bustling metropolis where history and modernity collide. The historical significance of sites like the War Remnants Museum and the Cu Chi Tunnels offers a profound insight into Vietnam's tumultuous past. The energy of the city is contagious; the street markets, cafes, and nightlife create an atmosphere of relentless vitality. Here, I want to engage with the vibrant youth culture that is reshaping Vietnam's narrative, exploring how tradition and modernity coexist in their daily lives. The emotional journey through Vietnam's culture is not just about observing; it’s about connecting with the heart of its people. This exploration promises to be a profound experience, deepening my appreciation for the diverse cultural heritage that Vietnam embodies.

I have always loved travelling since I was a child. I have been to almost twelve countries and find so much solace and peace every time I travel. It makes me feel like a free bird who flies high into the sky , explores beautiful creations of God and capture beautiful memories. Specially, I am fascinated with South East Asia because the food, cultural harmony, naturally beautiful landscapes, waterfalls, forests, flora and fauna is just so beautiful and captivating. Every year, I plan to visit atleast two new countries and meet amazing new people. Recently, i started sharing my photos on Instagram and Facebook and received amazing response from my audience. This made me pursue a short term course in travel and tourism management as well. Having covered most countries in South East Asia, Vietnam has been on my top list as recently while returning from my trip to Bali, Indonesia, I had the privilege of taking a flight back in VietJet and the experience was so smooth and amazing. I had made up a plan that day that i would love to visit Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, and many more places in Vietnam to explore beautiful landscapes, waterfalls, islands, city tours, zoos, etc. It would really mean the world to me if I win this as the beauty of Vietnam really enchanted me and i cannot wait to visit this paradise and fulfill my dream of visiting Vietnam. I have also heard a lot about the amazing hospitality of people, food, the Buddhist culture, etc. Everyone should travel as they explore new horizons, think out of the box, meet new people, learn new languages, adore foreign culture, music, etc.
