About Us

Welcome to Sam and Rach Travel 🌏

We’re Sam and Rach — an Australian couple currently living in Vietnam and travelling whenever we can.

This blog is where we share our favourite places, honest travel tips, tours we actually recommend, food spots worth trying, and all the little things we wish we knew before travelling somewhere new.

We’re not luxury travellers or full-time backpackers — just two people who genuinely love exploring new places and showing what trips are really like.

A lot of our content focuses on:

  • Vietnam travel guides
  • Tours and experiences we genuinely recommend
  • Food spots and cafes we love
  • Itineraries and travel tips
  • Travel vlogs and YouTube content
  • Honest opinions based on our own experiences

We’ve travelled across Asia and Europe together and love finding experiences that feel authentic, fun and actually worth your time and money.

If you enjoy honest travel content, practical advice and seeing destinations beyond just the Instagram highlights, we hope you enjoy following along.

Best Countries to Visit in Southeast Asia: Our Honest Ranking After 2 Months of Travel

Image
Follow our travels: Instagram · YouTube Planning a Southeast Asia trip can feel overwhelming because every country offers something completely different. Some are better for beaches, some are better for food, some are easier for first-time travellers, and some completely surprise you once you get there. In 2025, we finished our time in Europe and began exploring Asia. Over two months, we travelled through Singapore, Malaysia, Borneo, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, experiencing unique cultures, eating incredible food, learning about history and embracing the beautiful chaos of life in Southeast Asia. This is our honest ranking of the best countries to visit in Southeast Asia based on our own experience. Of course, everyone travels differently, and what we loved might not be what someone else looks for in a trip. But if you are planning your own Southeast Asia adventure, this should help you decide which countries might suit your travel style best. Quick Ti...

Best Tours in Europe and Asia: Honest Travel Recommendations

Image
Follow our travels: Instagram · YouTube After visiting 30+ countries, we’ve booked a lot of travel tours across Europe and Asia. These are the best tours we genuinely recommend, including Vietnam day trips, overnight cruises, food tours, wildlife experiences and city tours we would happily book again. Unfortunately, we didn’t do any vlogging when we travelled around Europe, so you’ll just have to trust us on those ones. For many of our Asia tours though, we’ve linked our videos so you can see exactly what the experience was like before booking.
