We had a great time learning about coffee at 96b cafe a roastery. Our teacher was really knowledgeable and friendly, and we learned a lot about coffee itself and how it’s made!

It was a really enjoyable short experience I would recommend to anyone!

Our evening with Mama Moon and family was the absolute highlight of our time in Hoh Chi Minh. We were welcomed into the family from the start- being welcomed after car drop off, by learning how to prepare traditional Vietnamese dinner (including accommodating for our food restrictions) and with wonderful conversation. We will visit again!
