TRAVEL INDEPENDENTLY. CONNECT MEANINGFULLY.
Find a Travel Buddy in Vietnam
Looking for someone to explore Hanoi with, share a food experience in Hoi An, meet for coffee in Ho Chi Minh City, join an outdoor adventure, or travel together for part of your Vietnam journey?
Discover independent travelers whose dates, destinations and interests may overlap with yours — while keeping the freedom to travel in your own way.
A DIFFERENT WAY TO CONNECT WHILE TRAVELING
Travel Solo. Share the Moments That Matter.
Solo travel gives you freedom. But traveling independently does not mean every part of the journey has to be experienced alone.
Sometimes you may simply want someone to join a local meal, explore a neighborhood, share a day trip, go hiking, take photographs, or meet for coffee along the way.
Vietnam Travel Buddy helps travelers discover possible connections based on overlapping dates, destinations and interests — without assuming that a travel buddy must join the entire trip.

You Don’t Need a Buddy for the Whole Journey

A Few Important Safety Principles
Meeting someone online always requires personal judgment.
Vietnam Travel Buddy helps travelers discover possible connections. A published profile, community membership or introduction does not guarantee another person’s identity, character, compatibility or safety.
- Consider meeting in a public place first.
- Never publish passport, financial or sensitive booking information.
- Tell someone you trust about your plans.
- Keep control of your own money and travel documents.
- Maintain your own transport and exit options.
- Take time before changing major travel plans for someone you have just met.
