Trisha Mehta

Hi, i’m Trisha, i’m 21 years old and this is my story: So I've always dreamed of visiting Vietnam, but financial problems made it a lil difficult but I've been saving for this trip for a while. The idea of exploring Vietnam- its rich culture, history, and natural beauty excites me ALOT! I'm very passionate about experiencing new cultures and immersing myself in the local way of life, and i think Vietnam offers a unique blend of tradition and modernity that I can't wait to experience. The country's culinary scene is another big draw for me. I love trying new foods, and Vietnamese cuisine, is something I've always wanted to dive into. Currently I’m obsessed with Vietnamese Cold Coffee! Can’t wait to try it there!!! I'm also an avid photographer, and Vietnam's stunning landscapes, from terraced rice fields to bustling city streets, i would love to capture these beautiful moments. I'm eager to soak in the relaxed and friendly vibe that Vietnam is known for. The thought of wandering through markets, exploring hidden gems, and simply enjoying the natural beauty of the country fills me with so much anticipation. Vietnam has always been high on my travel list, and I would be beyond grateful for the chance to finally make this dream a reality. Thankyou so much for this opportunity!

As a Financial Architect and five-time MDRT (Million Dollar Round Table) qualifier, my life revolves around meaningful relationships and connecting with people. With over 5,000 active clients, I thrive on building trust and sharing unique experiences. Each interaction is an opportunity to inspire others, and travel has always been a way for me to enrich this journey. I aspire to travel to Vietnam not merely as a tourist but as a seeker of knowledge and experiences that will enhance my professional and personal growth. As someone passionate about photography, culture, and nature, Vietnam offers a canvas rich with inspiration, from the bustling markets of Hanoi to the serene waters of Ha Long Bay. This trip would allow me to immerse myself in the arts, traditions, and natural beauty that make Vietnam unique. Through photography, I aim to capture the essence of Vietnam’s vibrant culture and landscapes—stories told through the lens, of both people and places. This journey will fuel my passion for connecting with new cultures, providing me with fresh perspectives that I can share with my clients and community. Vietnam’s rich heritage in arts and crafts deeply fascinates me. From traditional water puppetry to silk weaving, there is a wealth of artistic expression to explore. Experiencing these firsthand would enrich my understanding of cultural traditions and inspire creativity, which I plan to bring back and integrate into my work. It is through such cultural exchanges that we grow—both as professionals and as individuals. In addition to experiencing the arts, I see this journey as a profound opportunity for personal reflection. Vietnam’s stunning landscapes, from the terraced rice fields of Sapa to the Mekong Delta, offer moments of tranquility where one can reconnect with nature. These moments would help me recharge, reflecting on my professional goals and reigniting my passion for inspiring others. On a professional level, this trip will enhance my ability to engage with diverse clients. The experience of navigating a new culture will provide me with insights into empathy and adaptability, qualities that are essential when building strong, lasting relationships. As I continue to meet new people and share stories from my journey, I will be able to motivate others to step out of their comfort zones and embrace new opportunities. Moreover, this trip aligns with my passion for inspiring others. By sharing my experiences in Vietnam—through photography and social media—I hope to encourage my clients and community to seek out their own adventures, embrace diversity, and appreciate the beauty in different cultures. Travel is not just about the places we visit, but the stories we bring back and how they shape us. Ultimately, this journey to Vietnam is about growth—both personal and professional. I look forward to the opportunity to explore Vietnam’s beauty, connect with its people, and share these experiences with those around me.

As a dedicated banker, balancing work and home life has always been my priority. But deep within me lies a relentless passion—a passion for exploration, for stepping beyond the everyday routine and immersing myself in the cultures of faraway lands. Vietnam, with its rich history and vibrant traditions, has always captivated my imagination. For years, I’ve longed to leave behind the boardrooms and spreadsheets, to wander through the ancient streets of Hanoi and savor the scents of street food in Ho Chi Minh City. This free round-trip flight feels like destiny, a chance to fulfill my dream of experiencing Vietnam’s unique blend of ancient customs and modern vibrancy. I imagine myself marveling at the ancient temples of Hue, soaking in the spiritual essence of centuries-old pagodas. The lush terraced rice fields of Sapa call to me, not just for their beauty but for the stories they hold of generations of farmers. I long to take in the quiet moments at Ha Long Bay, where nature speaks in whispers, and the soul finds solace. For me, this journey is about more than just sightseeing; it’s a cultural awakening. As a storyteller and blogger in my spare time, I know the stories waiting for me in Vietnam will inspire me long after I return home. The people, their warmth, their resilience, and their traditions—these are the treasures I seek. Each meal I share, each conversation I have, will be an opportunity to learn and grow. This trip represents freedom, not just from the confines of a banker’s schedule but from the limits of my own understanding. In Vietnam, I hope to explore not just a new land, but new ideas, new ways of life, and most importantly, new parts of myself.

As a software engineer and part-time travel creator, traveling is my ultimate energy booster. So far, I’ve explored 16 states and 5 Union Territories in India, spanning north to south and east to west. I’m passionate about uncovering hidden gems, making new friends, and capturing every moment through photographs and videos, which I share on my Instagram travel account, (sassy.alpinist). In 2021, I married the love of my life, and we planned our first international trip together to Vietnam, a destination we both dreamed of exploring for its rich culture, stunning landscapes, amazing food, and vibrant cities. Unfortunately, the pandemic delayed our honeymoon plans. We hoped to visit Vietnam for our first anniversary, but financial constraints led us to explore Northeast India instead. In 2023, life took an unexpected turn when I had a road accident resulting in a multi-ligament injury. After major surgery and 3-4 months of bed rest, it took nearly a year to regain my strength. Now that I’m fully fit, my dream of exploring Vietnam is alive again. However, financial limitations have made it challenging to plan the trip. I already have my itinerary ready, featuring must-visit destinations like Hanoi’s Old Quarter, the Temple of Literature, Ba Dinh Square, St. Joseph’s Cathedral, Hoan Kiem Lake, Ninh Binh, a Halong Bay cruise, Phu Quoc, and Hoi An. Vietjet, I hope you can help me bring this dream to life and inspire others to explore the wonders of Vietnam!

As a student with a heart set on adventure, I often find myself lost in dreams of far-off places. But there’s one destination that calls to me louder than any other "Vietnam". Although I’ve never set foot there, it feels like my soul is already intertwined with its culture, its food, and its stories. For me, Vietnam isn’t just a travel destination; it’s a cultural treasure trove I’m eager to explore. I imagine getting lost in the breathtaking landscapes of Ha Long Bay or walking through the timeless, lantern-lined streets of Hoi An. As a history student, I find Vietnam’s past and resilience deeply inspiring, making me yearn to experience its vibrant present even more. But as much as I wish to pack my bag and hop on a plane, my student budget reminds me that this adventure is still out of reach. Saving for an international trip isn’t easy, and the expense feels like a mountain I’m constantly trying to climb. as a videographer, I would document every step, capturing each moment in vibrant detail. I dream of creating videos that share the soul of Vietnam—its culture, food, and stories—so that I can bring this journey to life for others and relive it myself, long after I return. Until then, I hold onto this love from afar, hoping that someday soon, my adventure will begin.

Ours is a love marriage. We share similar interests, i.e., writing good stories, reading books, and traveling the world together. While we strive hard to earn as much as required to nurture our relationship as husband and wife, we also dream of exploring the world together. Married in January 2020, just before COVID hit, we waited two long years to visit our dream destination, Bali. Yes, it was our honeymoon, and guess what? We traveled to Bali with VietJet. It was in 2022 that our Bali trip taught us we could be future travel content creators and influencers. We decided to shoot some beautiful videos and pictures, make some Instagram Reels, and upload them. Whoa... Some of them went viral and got more than 14,000 views. We received 300+ inquiries about our Bali trip. People went mad looking at our self-planned itinerary, and they happily traveled to Bali using our ideas. But now comes the twist: we are now a family of three in 2023, which meant a two-year-long break from future trips. Now that we are ready to fly again, we need some support from VietJet, and we promise we will try to bring more fame to Vietnam by sharing its attractions, culture, and beauty through our lens. Let us, Indians, love you a little more by visiting you. Our Instagram handles are @ckbansal23 and @daminiaggarwal6

As I sit down to write this essay, I am filled with a mix of emotions - excitement, nostalgia, and gratitude. My husband and I have always been passionate about traveling, exploring new cultures, and experiencing the beauty of the world together. We're also passionate filmmakers, always on the lookout for new stories to tell and new beauty to capture. We find joy in the simplest things - a sunrise over a bustling city, a quiet moment in a tranquil garden, or a warm smile from a stranger. However, our financial situation has often made it challenging for us to embark on the adventures we've always dreamed of. But we've never let that stop us. We've learned to save, to prioritize, and to make sacrifices for the things that truly matter to us - and travel is one of them. That's why winning a trip to Vietnam through Vietjet Air would be a dream come true for us. It would be a gift, not just to me, but to my husband, who has always been the rock that holds our family together. He's the one who works tirelessly to provide for us, who takes on the bulk of the responsibilities, and who always puts others before himself. He's the reason why I get to pursue my passions, why I get to travel, and why I get to experience the world in all its beauty. Vietnam, in particular, has always held a special place in our hearts. My asian heritage always makes me discover other asian cultures. It’s always been in my bucket list. We've seen pictures of its breathtaking landscapes, its vibrant cities, and its mouth-watering cuisine. And we've always dreamed of experiencing it all for. We'll explore the ancient city of Hoi An, with its colorful temples, bustling markets, and delicious street food. We'll visit the stunning Ha Long Bay, with its emerald waters, limestone karsts, and picturesque villages. We'll experience the vibrant city life of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, with their rich history, cultural landmarks, and modern attractions. As filmmakers, we're always on the lookout for new stories to tell and new beauty to capture. We'll bring our cameras and our curiosity, eager to capture the beauty of Vietnam and its people. We'll tell the stories of the locals we meet, of the food we eat, and of the landscapes we explore. And we'll share our experiences with the world, inspiring others to explore this beautiful country. But Vietnam is more than just a destination - it's an experience. It's a chance to immerse ourselves in a new culture, to learn about its history and traditions, and to connect with its people. It's a chance to try new foods, to drink new drinks, and to experience new things. And it's a chance to create new memories, to strengthen our bond, and to reignite our sense of wonder and adventure. Winning this trip would be a gift to my husband, a chance for him to relax, to unwind, and to recharge & definitely make new memories! Thank you for this amazing opportunity!

As the Founder of the Marpu Foundation, my dream of visiting Vietnam goes beyond mere exploration; it’s a journey rooted in my passion for environmental sustainability, cultural exchange, and community empowerment. Vietnam’s rich history, resilient people, and breathtaking landscapes have long captivated me. From the emerald waters of Ha Long Bay to the vibrant streets of Ho Chi Minh City, I see Vietnam as a country that blends tradition with modernity, much like the communities we work with in India. My work at Marpu Foundation focuses on promoting sustainable development, and I am particularly inspired by Vietnam’s efforts in areas like renewable energy, water conservation, and education. This trip will offer me valuable insights into how Vietnam has made such impressive progress, and I aim to bring these learnings back to improve the lives of the underprivileged communities Marpu Foundation serves. Vietnam’s resilience in overcoming the devastation of war, rebuilding itself into a thriving nation, is a powerful example that I hope to learn from and apply to our efforts in helping communities rise above their challenges in India. I believe that cultural exchange is key to personal growth, and by immersing myself in Vietnamese culture, I will gain a deeper understanding of how to foster inclusivity and adaptability values that are crucial for our work. Visiting places like the National Defense Academy and learning from Vietnam’s development model will not only enrich me personally but also equip me with practical knowledge to guide new projects in India. For instance, I am eager to explore Vietnam’s water conservation techniques and apply them to our ongoing borewell and water plant initiatives in rural India. Additionally, witnessing the innovative use of solar energy in Vietnam’s villages can inspire us to expand our solar lamp-making projects. This trip is not just about learning; it’s about creating a lasting social impact. By fostering cross-cultural collaborations between India and Vietnam, I hope to build partnerships that will lead to joint projects in education, sustainability, and community development. My journey to Vietnam will also serve as a story of inspiration for the youth we work with, showing them that global citizenship is within reach and that dreams can lead to tangible change. In selecting me for the VietJet Love Connection – Dreams Take Flight program, VietJet will not only fulfill a personal dream but also contribute to the long-term development of underprivileged communities in India. This journey will be a testament to how global experiences can drive local impact, and I am committed to bringing back insights that will empower the communities Marpu Foundation serves. This is a dream with purpose a chance to connect, learn, and inspire change.

I would start with my dream of taking flights. When I was a child, every time a flight went above from my home. I would run outside and see it. I always made my smile and I even know why. After 2 decades of dreaming, I booked a flight from my city Hyderabad to Goa with my own money and it was a dream come true. I met new people who were hundreds of kilometers away from home and thousands of kilometers as well. Meeting foreigners and learning about their cultures was like feeding my brain with exciting stuff. Their education, lifestyle, food, cuisines and everything is so impressive. I have taken a few domestic flights in India and that is when the international travel bug bit me. Due to job or family constraints, I never had time for international travel. While I was checking youtube videos, its deep cultural roots and breathtaking landscapes, was fascinated me. When I first heard about Vietjet’s “Love Connection Phase 2 – Dreams Take Flight India” campaign, it felt like a golden opportunity dropped from the heavens. I'm so excited that I can't even think of any more words. I wanna see the beauty of nature, explore food and my top most favorite is meeting new people & chit chat with them for hours, days if possible lol.
