Travelling the world has always been more than just a dream for me; it is a passion driven by a deep curiosity and a desire to connect with and learn about the diverse cultures. Among all the places I’ve visited so far, Vietnam holds a special place in my heart. Having been there twice, I can say with certainty that two visits are simply not enough to fully embrace the warmth and richness of this incredible country. What draws me to Vietnam is not just the stunning landscape but the people, rich heritage, food and the incredible coffee culture. Despite having visited this country twice, I feel like I have only scratched the surface of what this amazing country has to offer. I am hope to win this contest so that I can return to Vietnam and continue my journey of exploring, eating and meeting the most wonderful people.

It all began at a friend’s gathering. I, Yashaswini, and Aditya crossed paths for the first time, exchanging a simple "hi" and "hello." Little did I know that this brief meeting would set the stage for a lifetime of memories. Months passed, and we went our separate ways until one day, out of the blue, Aditya sent me a message on Instagram. I, being the way I am, kept him waiting for three or four months before replying. When I finally did, our conversations flowed effortlessly, and it felt like we had known each other forever. Then came the moment that changed everything. Aditya flew all the way from Mumbai to Bangalore just to meet me. The instant we met again, it was clear—the connection we shared was special, something rare and profound. Our bond grew stronger with every passing moment, and soon, he introduced me to his parents. But the real magic happened at Mumbai airport. As I landed, I saw him waiting outside, holding something close to his heart. Aditya had written a song for me—he turned “Hey There Delilah” into “Hey There Yasha.” Right there, in front of everyone, he went down on one knee and proposed with a ring. It was a moment straight out of a dream, filled with love, joy, and music. Without a second thought, I said yes. He was everything I had ever wished for, and I knew he was the one. Now, seven years have passed. Our journey hasn’t been perfect—we’ve faced our share of fights and challenges. The lockdown was one of the toughest times for us, but together, we overcame it. Through it all, our love has only grown stronger, and we’ve built a relationship based on trust, patience, and deep understanding. Today, as we stand on the brink of forever, planning our wedding, I can confidently say that ours is a love story for the ages—proof that the strongest connections often come from the simplest beginnings.

Travelling the world is one of the most enriching and fulfilling experiences in life. It allows us to step out of our comfort zones, embrace the unknown, and develop a deeper appreciation for the diversity of people, traditions, and landscapes that make up our planet. For me, the passion for travel stems from a desire to connect with different cultures, taste exotic cuisines, and witness the beauty of distant places. Exploring new destinations offers a unique perspective on life. It is fascinating to observe how people in different parts of the world live, what they value, and how their traditions shape their everyday existence. These experiences not only broaden my understanding but also make me more empathetic and appreciative of the world’s cultural diversity. One of my long-cherished dreams has been to visit Vietnam. This Southeast Asian country, with its rich history, vibrant traditions, and stunning landscapes, has always captivated my imagination. I long to immerse myself in the bustling streets of Hanoi, take a boat ride through the serene waters of Ha Long Bay, and savor the iconic pho at a local roadside eatery. The resilience and warmth of the Vietnamese people, as reflected in their history and culture, inspire me deeply. However, as a banker, my demanding job often keeps me tethered to my desk. The tight schedules, deadlines, and responsibilities leave little room for travel. While I am grateful for a career that challenges me and allows me to grow professionally, the longing to explore Vietnam remains a bittersweet dream. Yet, I hold onto the belief that someday I will make this dream a reality. I channel my wanderlust into trips and the exploration of cultures. Each journey, no matter how brief, reinforces my love for travelling and exploring the diversity of our world. Travelling is more than a hobby—it’s a way of understanding and celebrating the vastness of human existence. While I await the opportunity to explore Vietnam and fulfill my dream, I continue to cherish every chance to experience new cultures, because every journey is a step closer to understanding the world and myself.

Cooking is more than a skill for me—it’s a way to express creativity, share love, and connect with cultures. My passion for the culinary arts was born in my family’s kitchen, where I learned that food is a powerful storyteller. Among the world’s cuisines, Vietnamese food has captured my heart with its balance of flavors, vibrant ingredients, and cultural depth. Vietnamese cuisine is an artful harmony of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy. Iconic dishes like pho and bánh mì reflect Vietnam’s rich history, blending local traditions with influences from Chinese and French cuisines. These dishes are more than meals—they are cultural legacies. I dream of exploring Vietnam to learn its culinary secrets firsthand. From bustling markets in Hanoi to intimate cooking classes in rural villages, I hope to immerse myself in the flavors and traditions of each region. This journey would not only enhance my skills but also deepen my understanding of how food connects people and preserves stories. Through this exploration, I aspire to bring Vietnamese cuisine to others, sharing its magic and inspiring curiosity about the culture it represents. My passion for cooking fuels this dream, driving me toward a future where food becomes a bridge to understanding and connection.

Food and travel have always been my greatest passions, and Vietnam has become a significant source of inspiration for me. Beyond its breathtaking landscapes and rich culture, Vietnam’s culinary world has captured my imagination. From the iconic pho and banh mi to the legendary egg coffee, Vietnam feels like a paradise waiting to be explored. I dream of visiting this vibrant country to immerse myself in its food scene—walking through bustling street markets, tasting bold flavors, and learning about the stories behind every dish. My love for food and travel has been my greatest teacher. In Thailand, I pushed boundaries by trying alligator meat, a unique and unexpectedly delightful experience. I also indulged in their famous mango sticky rice and prawn noodles, which introduced me to a balance of flavors that was both comforting and exciting. In Dubai, I tasted their luxurious gold tea, a drink so exquisite it felt like sipping history and innovation in one cup. These moments shaped my journey, making me more curious about the world and its culinary treasures. Vietnam, with its legendary coffee culture, is my next dream destination. Their famous egg coffee, a creamy concoction of whisked egg yolks and strong coffee, feels like a perfect fusion of richness and simplicity. I’m equally excited to try their ca phe sua da, an iced coffee with condensed milk that I imagine enjoying while watching life unfold in the streets of Hanoi. But Vietnam is not just about its flavors; it’s about experiences that leave a lasting impact. From cruising the emerald waters of Halong Bay to walking through the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An, every part of Vietnam seems magical. The Golden Bridge in Da Nang, with its giant stone hands holding a shimmering walkway, feels like a symbol of the country’s ability to blend tradition with modernity. I recently visited Lansdowne, a quiet hill station in India, where I spent serene evenings by a bonfire, surrounded by nature’s beauty. That experience reminded me how much I love exploring places that offer both calm and adventure. Vietnam, with its mix of vibrant cities, peaceful landscapes, and a rich culinary heritage, feels like the perfect next chapter in my story. It’s not just a destination—it’s an inspiration, waiting to be discovered one sip, bite, and step at a time.

I honestly don’t know how my love for travel started. Initially, it started as a hobby and later it become something a passion. As a vivid traveler with an insatiable passion for exploring the world, my soul yearns to immerse itself in the culture, history, and natural beauty that Vietnam has to offer. This trip is not just a journey; it is an opportunity to enrich my spirit, broaden my horizons, and embrace the myriad experiences that await. The allure of Vietnam lies in its harmonious blend of ancient traditions and modern vibrancy. I envision myself wandering through the quaint, historic streets of Hanoi, where time seems to stand still amidst the colonial architecture and bustling markets. The Old Quarter, with its labyrinthine alleys and lively vendors, calls out to me. Here, I hope to lose myself in the chaotic charm, sipping on a piping hot bowl of pho, and engaging in conversations with the locals, who embody the warmth and resilience of the Vietnamese spirit. One of my deepest aspirations for this trip is to delve into the country’s rich tapestry of culture and history. The ancient town of Hoi An, with its lantern-lit streets and centuries-old merchant houses, beckons me to unravel its stories. I long to witness the ethereal beauty of the My Son Sanctuary, a relic of the Champa civilization, and feel the echoes of the past reverberate through its crumbling ruins. Nature, too, plays a crucial role in my travel aspirations. The thought of cruising through the serene waters of Ha Long Bay, surrounded by limestone karsts and emerald isles, fills me with a sense of awe and tranquility. I yearn to trek through the terraced fields of Sapa, where the hillsides are painted in shades of green, and the air is crisp with the scent of earth and foliage. These encounters with nature will remind me of the delicate balance that sustains our planet and the importance of preserving its wonders for future generations. A trip to Vietnam is not merely about sightseeing; it is about immersing myself in the daily life and traditions of its people. I am eager to participate in a traditional cooking class, learning the secrets of Vietnamese cuisine, and savoring the flavors of fresh herbs and spices. The bustling markets of Saigon, with their vibrant colors and intoxicating aromas, promise to be a sensory feast that will leave a lasting impression on my culinary journey. In conclusion, my dream trip to Vietnam is more than just a travel itinerary; it is a heartfelt pursuit of knowledge, culture, and self-enlightenment. As I embark on this journey, I am excited to witness the magic of Vietnam’s landscapes, connect with its people, and return home with a treasure trove of memories and newfound wisdom. This adventure will undoubtedly be a transformative chapter in my life’s narrative, enriching my soul and kindling my passion for exploring the world’s wonders.

“From Da Nang to Halong Bay: A Journey Still to Be Written” Vietnam holds a special place in my heart. My wife and I went there for our honeymoon, and the memories we made are unforgettable. We explored the lively streets of Ho Chi Minh City, admired the charm of Hanoi, and fell in love with the beaches of Da Nang. But there are still places we couldn’t visit—places I know we’ll return for. One of them is Bana Hills. I’ve seen pictures of the Golden Bridge, with its giant hands rising out of the mist, and it feels like something straight out of a dream. I can imagine us walking across it, surrounded by clouds, taking in the breathtaking views. The French-inspired village and the cable car ride up the mountains make it feel like a magical escape. It’s the kind of experience we missed last time but is now at the top of our list. Another is Halong Bay. The emerald waters and limestone islands are stunning, and I’ve always wanted to take a cruise there. I picture us drifting between the towering cliffs, soaking in the peace and beauty of the landscape. Another destination I’m eager to visit is Phu Quoc. Known for its pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters, it’s the perfect place to relax and immerse in the beauty of Vietnam’s coast. I’ve heard so much about its untouched nature and vibrant coral reefs, and I can already imagine the peaceful escape it offers. It’s definitely on my list for the next time we visit. Vietnam isn’t just a place to me—it’s a connection. The warmth of its people, the beauty of its culture, and the memories we made there keep calling us back. From the colorful lanterns of Hoi An to the peaceful temples we visited, every moment felt special. I can’t wait to visit again, to explore the wonders we missed, and to create new memories that will stay with us forever.
