Spend 1 week in Vietnam combining adventure, culture, and impact. Explore forests and the sea with a camera, learn storytelling and editing skills, cook local dishes, and connect with other travelers from around the world. From night tours in nature to outdoor movie nights, this trip is all about creating, sharing, and leaving a positive mark on conservation. While the project is designed for beginners, advanced participants can also level up their skills.
Travel with Anique, a 26-year-old wildlife photographer from the Netherlands with a bachelor’s in Creative Business. Her photography has been featured by BBC Earth and Africa Geographic. During lockdown, she picked up my first camera and fell in love with wildlife photography. This eventually led her to volunteering in South Africa—a life-changing experience that led to the role as Wildlife Photography Coordinator, teaching others about photography, editing, and storytelling. Now, after two years she calls South Africa home, exploring private game reserves and leading wildlife tours across the world.My goal is to show people the beauty of the world in a meaningful way. Travel and explore with Anique in MAY 2026
Hi beautiful humans, it’s Lindsey! If you’re anything like me, you’re always yearning for deeper connection, to the world and to other like minded creatives. That’s exactly why I’m beyond excited to be hosting an artist group trip to Vietnam, centered around telling stories of nature conservation. I began my venture into the world of solo travel on group trips just like this one. I love bringing people together in community, and being able to do so in a place as beautiful as Vietnam, creating inspired art alongside one another, feels like an absolute dream come true that I cannot wait to experience with you. I’ll be hosting two Artist Alchemy Sessions to support each photographer in finding their own authentic voice within the story they wish to tell. There’s something so magical about creating around the same idea and witnessing how differently it comes through each of us. From big moments like photographing underwater sea life and the stars of Southeast Asian skies, to small moments like laughing over shared meals and dancing under the moon, this is a trip filled with creativity, playfulness, and friends you just haven’t met yet. DM me on IG if you are interested and I would be happy to answer any questions or just connect to see if this trip is right for you!
