[SOLD OUT - email chelsea@trafalgar.com to add your name to the waiting list]
This December, I'm heading back to Vietnam with Trafalgar - and I'd love you to come!
This isn't your average holiday, though - it's a joy-filled, sensory overloaded, make-friends-for-life kind of adventure filled with incredible food, breathtaking scenery, rich culture and unforgettable experiences.
We'll wander through bustling cities, cruise through breathtaking landscapes, discover hidden gems, experience incredible local culture, and eat some of the most delicious food you'll ever taste. From street food and coffee, cocktails to cooking classes and unforgettable meals, Vietnam is a feast for all the senses.
And - it's all about the people. Solo travellers, friends, sisters, mothers and daughters, couples and adventurers all come together in the most awesome way. People arrive knowing nobody and leave with friendships that last long after the trip is over.
And the best part? You don't need to organise a thing.
Trafalgar takes care of all the planning, transport, accommodation and logistics, so you can simply relax, be present and enjoy the experience.
No stress, no overthinking, no wondering if you're missing out on the best bits... just an incredible adventure shared with legendary people.
Oh, and you'll be travelling with me! Not as a tour guide (we have a professional one of those - that's Thom, above!) but as your fellow traveller, dancing queen, second-breakfast enthusiast, karaoke instigator, selfie expert, vibe-setting, Vietnamese-condensed-milk-coffee-guzzling all 'round barrel of fun. In other words, you'll have the time of your LIFE.
If you've been thinking about coming on one of my trips, or Vietnam has been on your bucket list - this is your chance.
What you'll experience
✔ The sights, flavours and hidden gems of Hanoi's fascinating Old Quarter (and Train Street!)

There's a reason why people keep coming back time after time. After more than 10 years of travelling together, Trafalgar and I have this down to a fine art.
Snaps from last year's trip
Why people love these trips
Many people come on their own. Nobody leaves feeling alone.
“For me it was a trip of a lifetime. We are still pinching ourselves that we had the most amazing experience with such a fabulous group of people. Vietnam was colourful, beautiful, chaotic, fascinating and full of the most humble, welcoming people. And the food? OMG. Absolutely next-level delicious. Obviously meeting Chelsea in person was incredibly special too.”
– Leanne, Vietnam 2025
“Travelling solo for the first time in many years, I was nervous about how I would fit into a group of strangers. I quickly felt at ease. Chelsea's open, friendly and energetic nature made sure no one felt left behind. The whole experience left me wanting to go back to Vietnam and travel with Chelsea again.”
– Alison, Vietnam 2025
“If you have any doubt about a trip like this, don't. From the first night to the last day, it was simply a bunch of seriously decent human beings having an amazing experience together. Everyone felt included, safe and welcome. Chelsea is the bond that brings people together. Just do it. You will not regret it.”
– Dave, Vietnam 2025
