I had an amazing week with this incredible host in Buon Ma Thuot! Their hospitality was extraordinary, and I deeply connected with their genuine values. We spent a day helping flood-affected communities, delivering 1,000 kg of rice, and the remaining days we dedicated to a course for local tour guides. This passionate team works to promote their beautiful, lesser-known region ethically, supporting Eco-Tourism and preserving nature. Truly honored to contribute and be part of their mission!

Spent 10 days in the project and it was amazing, had a lot of time to explore the city, fold was delicious and hanguing out at the homestay was really peacefull. Nah and Ankit are amazing hosts, they are always nice and flexible, we had a lot of fun. one more thing, the food was absolutely delicious!

I stayed with Na and Ankit for 5 days - I had to cut my stay short for personal reasons - but I had the best time with them, and learning all about Dak Lak province and the work they are trying to achieve with Greentraveller to promote a relatively unknown region of Vietnam to a wider audience. They took me in as one of their own. The time I went, there was not much volunteering to be done, but to them that wasn't a problem - they were just happy to have me and to let me experience their way of life, meeting locals and taking part in some truly profound experiences. I hope to be back soon!

My experience with the project Traveler, was nothing but magical. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed by my hosts, who invited me into their home and daily life. Highlights included meditating at a nearby temple, exploring town, and discovering hidden gems with my hosts. Sharing my culture with them and helping them practice English added a personal touch to the experience. the project Traveler offers more than just a tour—it's a deep cultural immersion that leaves you enriched in unexpected ways.
