As the world feels increasingly uncertain, it’s a question many travellers are quietly asking…
Is now a good time to travel to Vietnam in 2026? Is Vietnam the best place to feel safe and still enjoy a holiday?
In this episode, I’m coming to you from Vietnam itself — sharing what I’m seeing on the ground, how global events are really impacting travel (and how they’re not), and what you need to know if you’re planning a trip this year.
Because here’s the truth…
Vietnam isn’t slowing down.
With over 4.7 million international visitors in the first two months of 2026 alone — up more than 18% year-on-year — travellers are still coming. In fact, many are leaning in.
So maybe the better question isn’t if you should travel…
It’s how to travel smartly in 2026.
In this episode, I unpack:
- What’s really happening with airfares and flight routes
- Why disruption — not destination — is the real challenge right now
- The mindset shift travellers have without realising
- The three types of travellers — and how each types varies in their ability to control changes
- Five practical strategies to travel with confidence this year
I’m coming to you from Vietnam — sharing what I’m seeing on the ground, and why, for me, it still feels like the sweet spot.
If you’ve been sitting on the fence, wondering whether to go now or wait…
this episode should help you think about that question a little differently.
