My friend and I listened to Kerry’s podcast about Vietnam which was very helpful to obtain non touristy info. Kerry also responded promptly to our questions and organised some great tours for us. Amazing!

Australiaa year ago - Best family trip ever
We discovered this podcast when researching a family holiday for the teens and us. Great tips for all types and we then reached out to Kerry who helped us plan the perfect trip. We got culture, adventure, exceptional food experiences and R&R. Our 2 weeks away felt like a month. Kerry has great contacts with Phong Nha Farmstay being a standout. We will be back! Thanks Kerry. Carolyn and extended Fam
