THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE AMAZING TRIPS
Hello/ Xin Chào
I am Hà Pham, co-founder of MOOI TRAVEL.
I was born and raised in Hanoi, Vietnam.
For the past 25 years I have been working in tourism, 17 years of which I was involved in the daily running and operation of a successful travel company based in Vietnam. Alongside this, I have been working as a freelance film fixer, (local production manager), for foreign film and TV crews since 2008. While in this role, I had the opportunity to work with Barrack Obama on his visit to Vietnam and regulary with legendary chef, writer and TV personality, Anthony Bourdain. Vietnam had such a major effect on him that he continued to come to back every second year to make his famous travel shows.
Thanks to him, Vietnamese cuisine HAS became more popular on the world’s culinary map with dishes like pho, banh mi and bun cha becoming known worldwide. Vietnam lost a passionate advocate for its food and culture after his tragic death. Anthony, (or Tony to his friends), undeniably inspired me and many others to travel more, to get out of our comfort zone, to learn about other cultures, cuisines, and different ways of living. Tony once said “You take something with you, hopefully, you leave something good behind.”
MOOI TRAVEL will continue promoting Vietnamese food and culture. We also offer standard and tailored (FIT) tours for individuals, small and medium sized groups, as well for travellers with specific needs to suit different interests, budget and time allowances. Travelers, please let me share with you my 25 years experiences in travel and my passion for food.
Meet our tour guide/tour manager, Happy Hoang. Born in Hanoi, Happy has a passion for showing people the beauty of Vietnam.
Happy is fluent in Vietnamese, French and English.
Happy’s positive attitude and infectious smile make him a joy to be around, and his clients always leave their tours feeling inspired and uplifted.
Happy has spent countless hours researching and planning tours, reaching out to local communities and vendors, and building a network of contacts throughout the country. Happy and his sister were determined to create a company, MOOI TRAVEL, that would provide a truly authentic and immersive travel experience for their clients.
Mooi Travel has a commitment to responsible and sustainable tourism, is passionate about preserving the environment and supporting local communities.
Through hard work and dedication, Happy has become one of the most respected and sought-after tour guides in Vietnam and is now putting the same dedication into providing exceptional service, unique experiences, and a commitment to responsible tourism.
“I have a huge thirst for exploring new regions, experiencing new cultures and I love trying local food wherever I travel. I have been travelling extensively to different parts of the world including most of the countries in South East Asia. With a passion for traveling and working in the tourism industry, I am enthusiastic to show you the great people, the breathtaking nature, the fascinating cultures and the vibrant yet sensational life of Indochina and Thailand.
Before migrating to Calgary, Canada in 2021, I worked for the European Union for almost 20 years in my home country – Vietnam. Having the chance to closely work and interact with colleagues from all over Europe, I understand the way of thinking and expectations of Western people.
I trust that with our dedication, passion, knowledge and skills, Mooi Travel will make your trips enjoyable and memorable.”
