MY TRAVEL EXPERIENCES I have done a grand Vietnam trip in 2017 which took me to 53 of all 64 provinces in Vietnam and also visited destinations in Laos, Cambodia and Thailand many times over the past few years; blessed me with several lifetimes worth of experiences and discoveries about others and myself. Travel taught me to appreciate the subtle nuances of life, the minute details, and to realize that there is no one way to live, nor to understand the workings of the universe. Many people that have experienced Vietnam private tours with me have said that I'm a friendly and happy character which is why they call me "Nam Smile".
