Tours for Creative People


Saigon, Vietnam
Vietnam is a country that has stayed true to itself, despite centuries of influence from Chinese, French and American involvement. And yet, the influence of the French, especially, led to some of the finest dining in the world. Relax on the beaches...or paint them, or photograph them, or simply enjoy midnight swimming in the China Sea. This tour will focus on the culture of Saigon (now known as HCMC) and surrounding areas.




China
Travel to ancient China. Cities such as Old Town, LiJiang are kept in the "old way." No cars allowed! Very friendly people, comfortable, safe, great lodging, beautiful courtyards, canals flowing down the middle of the cobblestone streets, and some of the best cuisine in Asia. Travel to the border towns of Tibet. Photograph the sincere people in their lovely, and daily, dress.
