Vietnam surprised me—not just with landscapes, but with lanterns, laughter, and lotus-root salad. As a vegetarian, I approached the trip with caution, but left enchanted.
In Hanoi, I found harmony in contrasts: colonial charm, incense-filled pagodas, and vegan egg coffee. Early morning tai chi by Hoan Kiem Lake and vegan delights at Uu Dam Chay made the city feel like a dream.
Halong Bay was pure poetry—an overnight cruise through misty limestone cliffs felt like floating meditation. The crew served up a multi-course vegetarian feast that rivaled fine dining.
Sapa brought me closer to the land. Hikes through rice fields and meals in Hmong homes reminded me that simplicity and sincerity often go hand in hand.
Danang mixed modernity with magic. At Ba Na Hills, I rode a cable car into the clouds and found vegan burgers at Roots Café.
Hoi An was a lantern-lit love story. I floated wishes down the river and feasted on budget-friendly vegetarian food at Quan Chay Dam.


Ho Chi Minh City dazzled with energy—jazz bars, rooftop views, and unforgettable meals at Bong Sung.
Vietnam wasn’t just a trip—it was a gentle transformation.
A reminder that connection, kindness, and curiosity are the true flavors of travel.
