travelogue: the anti-guide guide
As the name suggests, this is a digital travel guide about Việt Nam in general, and Phú Quốc specifically. Since bàbu is based in Phú Quốc Island, we want to introduce this beautiful island to you with helpful tips so you can enjoy your journey even more. We will eventually feature other favorite places of ours, such as Rạch Giá, Vĩnh Hy, or Huế City.
We understand the pain of searching for hours and surfing through hundreds of sites without finding the info you need. Therefore, we want to build a compact site that is informational, minimal, and subjective.
Essential information for your journey
Travel is all about exploring, so we won’t spoil everything. We only provide the most important pieces of information to help make your trip planning smoother.
With a few clicks on our site, you can find insights regarding safety, visas, transportation, medical emergencies, and communication tips. We do give recommendations and itinerary suggestions, but that’s about it. You control your adventure; we just make it a bit easier.
No scrolling and skimming
Though we monetize our site with ads, we do not intend to write massive blog pages filled with thousands of SEO-driven words. We’d rather get straight to the point to save time for both of us and place tiny ads at the end. But don’t worry — our posts might be short, but they contain everything you need.
Guides curated by locals
We will always be subjective. Though it is good to be objective, we think it is the job of professionals to rate a restaurant, a hotel, or a natural attraction. Being locals, we will give our recommendations and tips from our own perspective.
We believe the joy of traveling is to experience it and decide for yourself whether you love it or not.
