My favorite quote is “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page” (St. Augustine). I love traveling and sharing experiences with travelers around the world.
Travel is to learn more about the life of the locals, not just a holiday and more important is about to keep the destinations better for our future generation to come back, that's why we set up Footprint Travel to show people around the World about Vietnam and Indochina while making it sustainable.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I'm confident with my knowledge of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia classic, adventure, hiking/trekking, biking, culture tours"
How did you get involved in travel?
"My grandparents and parents are originally Hanoian, so am I. But the funny thing is I was born in Tien Giang – a province in the Southeast of Vietnam – while my mom went on a holiday. It seems like my destiny is all about travel, here & there. I have been a travel consultant since 2016, meeting a lot of foreign travelers and sharing interesting traveling experiences. "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Once when I was traveling in Da Lat (a city in Vietnam Central Highland) with my friend and we were on a motorbike heading to a restaurant for lunch. We got in the wrong direction and were completely lost but decided to follow the faith. Then suddenly we drove past through a large pine forest which was so stunning that we forgot how hungry we were and enjoyed the spectacular view the whole afternoon. So it's not always bad luck when we got lost while traveling. "

Our planned Minh did a very nice job communicating with us and guiding us to an excellent 9 day long trip Hanoi to Saigon, including Minh Binh and Halong Bay.
The local tour company guides were excellent and the communication on the ground was great, no lapses or misunderstandings.
Overall, as usual, kimkim did a wonderful job. Read more

Minh and his team were extremely responsive both before and during the trip. Our son had an accident and we had to reschedule almost the whole trip, which they managed to do at no extra cost.
Memorable trip to Vietnam!

All guides were amazing. Zoom (Daniel ) Ken amd Liam were all above and beyond expectations. Suggestes itinerary was busy but allowed us to.see a whole lot of the country in 12 days. The one negative was the boat trip Ha Long Bay. The rooms all smell like mildew. We talked with 3 other couples on the.boat who all had the same complaint. Boat staff was nice but not enough to make my rating of the overall boat cruise better
Regarding the moldy smell on the boat in Ha Long, I am very sorry to hear this. I have spoken with the Dragon Legend Cruise - one of the teams that has worked with us for over 10 years now - and received feedback that you also had similar comments on the feedback form on the boat. They and we are very sorry that... Read more
