Meet your host
Hi there! I'm May, a Red Dao woman living near Sapa. About 20 years ago, I began selling handmade brocade to tourists and learned so much from them, even Vietnamese! Life changed when a special guest (now family!) helped us start a homestay. I'd love to show you the stunning mountain scenery around my village and share my Red Dao culture. We can even take motorbike trips to remote villages!
