Traveling throughout Vietnam with a Social Enterprise headset has the power to greatly deepen your experience of Vietnam.  While you as the traveler often gain a more adventurous, rewarding, and insightful experience,  you also have the opportunity to leave your mark on Vietnam in a very positive and enriching way.

To help us know more about the value of Social Enterprise Travel in Vietnam,  I'm fortunate to be talking to Emily Lush, a former magazine journalist, whose passion for storytelling to help Social Enterprises and Not-for-Profits inspires her Blog, Wander Lush.

Today I ask her to help us navigate Social Enterprises in Hanoi and North Vietnam, as Emily had the opportunity to live and travel in Vietnam for a year in 2019.  I guarantee she will keep your earbuds in till the very end.

With a background in international development, fair trade, and sustainable fashion, Emily brings a depth of knowledge in this area that will open your thoughts to your next experience in Vietnam 

As she walks the talk, in her blog, today she gives us some very revealing insights into Social Enterprise in Vietnam, from hair cuts in Hanoi to the deeper cultural regions of North Vietnam.

Sit back and let Emily open your eyes to the rich culture and colour that is Vietnam through Social Enterprise.
