Highlights from Our Second Free Community Photography Tour
On June 29th, Vietnam Is Awesome, in collaboration with Ambassador Natalya Wissink and Frederick Wissink of Secret Experiences, hosted its second Free Community Tour. Frederick Wissink, a professional photographer, led a group of 10 through District 1 in Ho Chi Minh City, capturing the essence of the city’s dynamic streets and stunning architecture.
This exclusive tour, carefully curated for a small group, offered an insider’s view of hidden gems and breathtaking sites, including historic French colonial buildings and a peaceful Buddhist temple. Participants not only discovered new facets of the city but also received expert photography tips, making for an inspiring and enriching experience.

Welcome Aboard! Introducing Our New Community Manager
Hey everyone! I’m thrilled to introduce myself as your new Community Manager for Vietnam is Awesome!

It all started when I took a solo trip to Vietnam and absolutely fell in love with the culture, the people, and of course, the food! From the bustling street to the mouthwatering dishes, and amazing scenery, I knew I never wanted to leave this incredible place and go back to the US!
As an avid traveler, food lover, and cocktail enthusiast, I’ve spent my time here exploring every nook and cranny of this beautiful country. Whether I’m whipping up a new recipe in my kitchen or discovering hidden gems in Vietnam, I’m always on the lookout for my next adventure.
