Local Buddy - A companion to explore the true Vietnam

Son Nguyen Minh
"Nice to meet you, I’m your Local Buddy". Is this definition familiar to you? Does this mean a local friend? Or a local guide? In this blog post, we will explain everything you need to know about a "Local Buddy", from who they are to how they can help you with your travels in Vietnam to how to find a suitable Local Buddy for your trip.

1. Who is a Local Buddy?

A Local Buddy is

more than just a local guide
; they are your companion, curator, and friend throughout your journey in Vietnam (plus, they can also be the reason why you come back to Vietnam next time). They are passionate about sharing their love for their homeland and providing you with an authentic experience (of course, not the experiences tours bring to you).

They are locals who speak your language and have a deep understanding of your preferences, whether it's food, culture, history, or adventure. In any destination in Vietnam, such as big cities like Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City or beautiful beaches and islands like Da Nang and Phu Quoc, they walk alongside you, sharing insights into local life, traditions, and the vibrant culture of Vietnam.

2. What do local buddies do?

Local Buddies

go beyond traditional tour guides
. They offer a unique perspective by showcasing Vietnam through the lens of a local. From exploring hidden gems to savoring authentic cuisine, a Local Buddy customizes your itinerary, ensuring that every moment of your trip is tailored to your preferences and interests.

You can feel free to immerse yourself in the richness of Vietnamese culture and create unforgettable memories with a Local Buddy by your side.

3. The benefits of having a Local Buddy for your travel in Vietnam

Personalized experiences in Vietnam

Do you enjoy traveling on a tour where you must go on a marathon, where you have to visit as many places as possible but can’t even visit a destination you really want to? Or when they went to do something that was not your cup of tea but you still had to do because you already paid for it? I bet most of you don’t. The majority of tour operators don’t change their schedules after many years, so their itineraries may be outdated and sold to millions of tourists. You don’t even have to think about these issues when you book a Local Buddy.

Based totally on your travel style and your preferences, a personalized trip to Vietnam will be created for you to showcase the best of Vietnam. For example, if you want to go to the most stunning places to check in, it’s easy. Or if you want to eat strange food in Vietnam, Local Buddy will find the most authentic and delicious places for you. 

Richer, deeper understanding and knowledge of Vietnam

Imagine you visit a stunning place and are excited to know the story behind it, but all you have is a boring story that you can easily find on Uncle Google. What a disappointing trip!

With a Local Buddy by your side, you gain a deeper understanding of Vietnam's history, culture, and traditions. They share fascinating stories, legends, and their own insights that bring the country to life and enrich your travel experience. Even small and simple aspects of local cuisine, like how to eat Pho, Bun Cha in the right way can be challenging without a Local Buddy.

No more fear of language and culture barrier

You must already know that one of the biggest challenges when traveling to a foreign country is navigating the language and cultural differences. When you go to a strange place and nobody speaks your language and the language used by the translation app seems weird, it must be a headache.

Having a Local Buddy eliminates these barriers. They can communicate with locals on your behalf, help you with translations, and provide valuable cultural insights to ensure smooth and meaningful interactions.
