🧡 Meet Your Local Guide
Sam was born and raised right here in Saigon. He has always had a great passion for traveling and music, two things that shape how he sees life: full of rhythm, connection, and discovery. He studied pharmacy in university, but soon realized his real calling was meeting people and exploring the world around him. That’s when he decided to earn his international tour guide certificate and start a new chapter. Before that, he worked as a manager at a pizza and beer restaurant, where he developed his love for good food and good stories. Now, guiding feels like the perfect mix of everything he enjoys, exploring, sharing, and connecting with others.
