Secret Vietnam: Ahh Flashpack! To say this trip has been life-changing feels like such an understatement. Where do I even begin? Our Flash Pack leader, Hoang Lee, was an absolute gem—a truly incredible human being. Sweet, playful, knowledgeable, nonjudgmental, and endlessly fun, he made every moment of this adventure unforgettable. We seriously lucked out with him (and, dare I say, he got pretty lucky with us too!). Speaking of luck, my Flash Pack crew could not have been better. Once we got to know each other, the bond became so strong that we’ve already promised a reunion—and I fully plan on holding everyone to it. The things we did and the places we went were beyond unique, authentic, and beautiful—they were truly special. From fishing on a lagoon and eating our catches, to enjoying home-cooked meals with locals, riding vespas through bustling streets, biking through serene villages, eating incredible street food, island hopping, and train riding… every moment felt magical. I stayed in stunning hotels, cried tears of joy, and felt my heart overflow with gratitude so many times. If you’re considering a solo trip, I can’t recommend Flash Pack enough. They create experiences that are one-of-a-kind, deeply moving, and full of incredible people. Vietnam, you’ve truly been the trip of a lifetime. 💛
