Vietnam Travel Guide – Slow Journeys, Local Stories & Hidden Charms

Vietnam, Seen Slowly – Through a Local’s Eyes

My name is Kim Ngân. I was born in the Mekong Delta and now live in Saigon with my husband.  
We travel not to check things off, but to feel more deeply — and to remember what matters.

This Vietnam Travel Guide is not about rush, routes, or ratings.  
It’s a slow invitation. To walk with me — a local — through river mornings, lantern-lit alleys, bowls of phở, and quiet cafés where time lingers.

Whether you're planning your first trip, dreaming of returning, or simply craving a different way to see a country — this space is for you.

Welcome to Vietnam.  
Not just seen. But *felt.*
