Travel with a purpose |
HOBBY BUSINESS LEARNING CULTURE FRIENDSHIP PROFESSIONAL |
Hanoi has grown over the last 1000 years as a trading centre, home to dozens of different artisanal activities. Each activity has evolved over time its own Guild and has migrated to specialist villages around the city, each of which is a centre of Excellence in the Craft involved.
These villages are hubs of excellence in design and making - ceramics, woodworking, stone, silk, metalwork and many many more. The level of expertise, skill, knowledge, experience, competence in each village is quite extraordinary. Hanoi itself has a myriad of museums, workshops, showrooms and expertise in each of the crafts produced in the surrounding villages.
These 'Holidays with a Purpose' gives you the opportunity to engage with Artisans of particular interests to you, whilst immersing you in Vietnamese culture. In Hanoi this can include visits to spiritualists and healers, the Hill Tribes and much more.
