I’ve visited Vietnam more than a dozen times, diving deep into its rich foodways and vibrant cultural landscape. On this journey, I’ll share stories from the road—wild meals, heartfelt conversations, and unforgettable encounters—offering thoughtful context only someone who knows the country this intimately can provide. My friends at Modern Adventure and I have curated an amazing trip, I can’t wait to show you the Vietnam that I love.
Kitchens, coastlines, and conversations that shape Vietnamese food culture alongside Andrew Zimmern
The royal city of Hue is electric—mopeds sashay through narrow lanes between market stalls while barbers hawk haircuts from streets bathed in neon. You’re lost in all of it and overcome by the exquisite aroma of street food that seems to set the table for the night ahead. You note lemongrass wafting from simmering broths, the sweet-chili char of pork skewers and egg coffee steaming from mocha pots. This is the magic of Vietnam—mornings of soulful meditation and sun-kissed bicycle rides give way to vibrant market tours and joy rides on vintage Vespas. Every day here begins like a new chapter in a fairy tale, and your next adventure is just around the bend.
