No paywall. No course. No filter.

Plenty of travel creators keep the good stuff for paying members. We don't. Everything we know goes into the videos.

Free, all of it

No paid community, no course, no "join to find out". If we know a good place, a fair price or a scam to avoid, you get it for nothing.

Barely edited

Basic cuts and that's it. No colour grading, no fake reactions, no reshoots. What you see is what happened.

As live as we can

We film it as it happens: real menus, real prices, the good days and the bad ones. If something's disappointing, we'll say so.

Who we are

We're not new to this. Chris has been to more than 80 countries and Chips to more than 60, and Vietnam isn't a stopover for us. It's home. We started filming to show people the version of travel and expat life we actually live, not the brochure.

Chris

Scottish. 80+ countries. 15 years in Vietnam.

Chris has spent 15 of the last 22 years living in Vietnam, with years working across Asia, Central Asia and the Middle East along the way. He knows what things should cost, where locals actually eat, and which tourist traps to skip.

Chips

60+ countries. Speaks English, Russian and Kazakh.

Chips is co-creator, co-presenter and an English teacher in Da Nang. Her languages open doors most creators can't, and she's usually the one who finds the place before anyone else has heard of it.

Frank the Pug

Chief taste tester.

Fan favourite, scene stealer, and the only member of the team who's never once been disappointed by a meal.

Where we film

Da Nang is home, but we're rarely still for long.

Da Nang

Our home base. Street food, beaches, new openings and the everyday stuff guidebooks skip.

Hoi An and central Vietnam

Day trips and weekends from our doorstep, from the old town to the mountains.

Across Vietnam

North to south, shown by people who've lived here long enough to know the difference.

Beyond Vietnam

Trips around Asia and further afield. With 80+ countries behind us, we know what's worth it.

Why partner with honest creators?

Our audience trusts us because we don't fake it. That's exactly why a feature from us works: when we say a place is good, people believe it and go.

We only take on partners we'd genuinely recommend, and we show your business as it really is. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
