About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The more you go, the more you learn and the better you are

ABOUT ME

I am working for a social project. I am running a small hostel in Hue. The idea of having a small hostel came into me during my travel. It was there for quite long time before I decided let's go for it. I understand very well how budget travelers are since I am among of them. I did a matching marriage for CS's spirit and our, budget travel desire. AND a small hostel for active travelers was born in June, 2016 :)
Our motto is “Place – Passion – Participation”. We would love to experience travel thru more local engagement, which can contribute to sustainable tourism.

All CSer are welcomed with special offer, 50% discount. Only 2.5USD for a bunk bed.

I love traveling and meeting people. It's a good way to have experience in life, people and culture. I've learnt a lot from people I met and the places I visited. I'm very pleased to share with you all experience I have in Vietnam.

I formed a group of local young volunteers who are active, friendly and eager to learn . They are willing to take you around during your travel in Hue, starting with our pilot project: Free walking, biking tour. Believe me! Spend your time with them you will see a real Hue with many off-the-beaten track places in Hue. Bring home your unique stories about Hue!

We have a project called "See more, give more" which connect active travelers to local volunteer work for example: teaching English for children and students, doing farming work, coming to play with special needs children, etc.

We welcome all CSers and active travelers. Just come over to meet up with us or stay with us here: www.facebook.com/aprilhostel

PHILOSOPHY

Learn to live, learn to love and learn to fight. Give more and expect less.
