Vietnam

Global Leader in Socially Conscious Travel.

A MEJDI Tour to Vietnam can feel like three separate experiences. Vietnam is one of the most ecologically, politically and culturally diverse nations in Southeast Asia. Northern Vietnam offers visitors boating on the Hallen Bay. Southern Vietnam takes you into World War II where you can still see the effects of war. Drive inland and discover rice farming or take a cooking lesson. MEJDI Tours introduces you to local political experts, innovative chefs and student groups who are excited to engage with American students. Though a trip to Vietnam is suitable for all types of groups, we highly recommend university groups consider this destination. As with all MEJDI Tours, we will customize a local experience for you. You will be surprised by the variety of activities from which to choose, but perhaps most surprising is the welcoming and positive spirit of Vietnamese toward Americans.

The MEJDI Way:  A recent student group tour to Vietnam included introductions to Vietnamese students who joined the group every day. For the American students, this was the highlight of their trip. They dialogued about student life and built long term friendships. Of course, they loved exploring the country, but the perspective of students their age provided a cultural experience they were not expecting. Contact us to learn more about a MEJDI Tour to Vietnam.
