Meet your host
Gio and his wife, Hoa, started welcoming guests in 2023 with a simple goal—sharing their Hmong culture in a genuine and welcoming way. Whether it’s over a home-cooked meal or guiding visitors on trekking and motorbike adventures through the stunning landscapes of Sapa, they create experiences that feel personal and memorable. Their love for hosting shines through in every interaction, making guests feel like they’re part of something special rather than just passing through.
