The Lesser Known Secrets of Hoi An

It took only 3 days until I realized I would stay in Vietnam for good. Its my passion to show you why. Giving tours is something I have been doing for a while, but I joined this platform recently. So do check out my Google Reviews to see what other guests thought about going a day along with me! https://maps.app.goo.gl/KCNw3WWCS2J3fvxeA at ExploreVNdaily. My name is Zeb, and actually becoming a local took more time but many years later, I can now proudly say that I speak Tiếng Việt, understand and participate in local culture as much, or more, than even my Vietnamese wife and still enjoy it every day! These days I mostly go by my Vietnamese name Duy :) Ever since my graduation I have worked as a teacher which means explaining in a story form is something I enjoy and never get tired of. My constant learning and discovery of local Vietnamese life combined with my teaching background naturally led me to become a tour guide. Now I get to be outside in my community, sharing the what, why and how! Back in November 2017 I started my Vietnamese journey in Hanoi. Its the place that showed me Vietnamese life; culture, scooters, Vietnamese cuisine.. and eventually, love. Fast forward and I have been happily married since 2022. My journey has now brought me, since that same year, to Hội An as a my new home base. Both Hue and Da Nang to my North and Tam Ky to the south and everything in between are places I know as well as my own backyard. Each place with their own history, culture and local food. One of the great things about Vietnam, is that no matter how small the area is, if you know the locals, you will find something unique! What makes my tours special is my ability to connect Vietnamese ancient customs and unseen nuances to your daily experience while being in Vietnam. Making more sense of this country, while having fun along the way in relatable language.
