Tourist to Local
We're Juliana and Martín! She’s from the USA, he’s from Mexico. We’re here to help you turn your trips into culture and value-packed adventures.
Think the travel world’s only split into hardcore backpackers and tick-the-box tourists? We call nonsense. You’re out to see a destination’s must see spots, but also to sneak off the tourist path to find the spots that only locals go. You’re chasing experiences with value, and we’ve got you. When you travel with us, it’s no fluff, just the good stuff, because your vacation deserves more than just scratching the surface.

We’ve been sharing our adventures through Peru + Bolivia the last few months (and our Spanish audience on @bitacoradeviajero is LOVING IT!). But it seems like South America doesn’t perform as well on this channel. Now we’re curious….where would you want to see us go next? 👀

Summer travel is starting to wrap up, and if you're anything like us, you're probably already looking for the next destination… 👀
Well, good news! We still have a couple of spots left on our Vietnam group trip for January!
👉 Maybe you're a solo traveler who has no one to travel with
👉 Maybe you always wanted to visit Asia, but are too intimidated to plan it yourself
👉 Maybe you only travel abroad once a year, and you don't want to waste your time on a boring trip
👉 Or maybe you just have always wanted to go on a trip with us and hang out in real life!
This is your ✨moment✨
We've designed it exactly the way we travel:
👉A mix of iconic sights + immersive local experiences, lots of food, real connection with locals, and zero stress.
You'll visit ancient temples, bike through rice fields, cook with locals, get to visit and help out on a rice farm, explore floating caves, and cruise one of the most beautiful bays in the world.
And YES...we'll be taking photos of you throughout the trip and sending them to you as keepsakes. You can also be featured in our YouTube video (if you want to!) and see how we actually bring our videos to life
🗓️ Jan 11–17, 2026

✨ WE’RE TAKING YOU TO VIETNAM! 🇻🇳✈️
Group Trip with Juliana & Martín | Jan 11–17, 2026
This is the post we’ve been SO excited to share with you…
We’re officially hosting our first-ever group trip, and guess what?
We’re heading to Vietnam and you are invited to come with us!!! (we get to finally be friends irl!!)
🧡 Why Vietnam?
Because it’s one of the most magical, complex, vibrant places we've always wanted to travel to. We want to experience the food stalls in hanoi and see the beautiful emerald waters in Halong Bay. It's the trip we've always dreamed of....
And we’ve designed it exactly the way we travel:
A mix of iconic sights + immersive local experiences, thoughtful pacing, real connection with locals, and zero stress. Plus we kept the price as low as possible for you and the itinerary is SO FREAKING GOOD.

What Makes This Trip Different?
We only ever wanted to do a group trip if we could design it in the way we actually travel. We want to experience the culture and learn together as a group.
- We truly mean it when we say anyone 18+ is welcome to attend (whether you're traveling solo or with a partner!!).
- You don’t need to plan anything. We handle all the logistics
- Rooms are for 2 and there is an option to upgrade to a single room if you're coming solo.
- You’ll have time to explore + time to connect. It's a really nicely paced itinerary.
- You only need 25% down ($549) to reserve your spot, and we have payment plans through Affirm for as little as $137 a month.
- Plus: we’ll host pre-trip Zoom calls to help you learn key customs, language basics, and feel confident before we go
✅ Who This Trip Is For:
If you’ve always wanted to visit Asia but didn’t know where to start
If you’re craving meaningful travel that allows you to connect with locals
If you want a safe, fun, organized experience without being herded around
If you’re a solo traveler looking for community or a couple ready for something big
If you’re tired of watching travel videos and ready to live one
📆 Bookings go live on: Tuesday, June 18 at 2PM PT
We already have a long list of people on the interest list, and with only 8 early bird spots at the lowest price, we expect them to go fast. If this sounds like your dream trip...don’t wait.
👉 Join the Early Bird Notification List: trovatrip.com/trip/asia/vietnam/vietnam-with-julia…

Want to travel with us? We’re in the planning stages of our very first group trip and we want to know who wants to come with us!!
We knew that if we were going to do a group trip one day, we’d only want to do it if it actually brought value to you guys and emulated the way we actually travel.
What makes these trips special?
✔️ Mix of iconic sights + cultural connection with locals
✔️ Designed for budget-concious travelers, so pricing will stay under $2600
✔️ We picked destinations where doing a group trip is ACTUALLY worth it
✔️ You’ll be featured in our YouTube videos (if you want!)
✔️ Learn how we shoot photos/videos (even if you're just using an iPhone for your own personal use)
We’ve narrowed it down to two INCREDIBLE itineraries, and we’re turning to YOU to help us choose which one to pick.
✨ TRIP A: China — A Taste of Two Ancient Capitals (Beijing and Xi'an)
Beijing ➡️ Xi’an | 8 days | ~$2600
China is thrilling, overwhelming, and deeply rewarding, but it’s not easy to navigate solo. That’s why we’ve curated this tour to blend iconic sights with cultural immersion, just like Juliana experienced during her first visit in 2010. She traveled around China for a month on a group trip just like this one, and swears to everyone that doing a group trip to China is the way to do it!
🫶 Make dumplings with a local family
🏯 Walk the Great Wall of China
🎟️ Visit the Forbidden City & Tian’anmen Square
🚄 Ride the high-speed bullet train to Xi’an
🚴♂️ Cycle along Xi’an’s ancient city walls
🛕 See the legendary Terracotta Warriors
🍜 Join an optional Muslim Street food tour
Dates: April 7–14 | April 9–16 | April 13–20
Includes: 4-star hotels, 7 breakfasts, 3 lunches, 3 dinners, city transfers, local guide, photo/video workshops
🐉 TRIP B: Vietnam — Journey to the Land of the Blue Dragon
Hanoi ➡️ Ninh Binh ➡️ Halong Bay | 7 days | $2200
This one is for the foodies, the nature lovers, and the culture chasers. We’ve never been to Vietnam before, so this would be a new adventure for all of us (yay!!)!
🌾 Harvest rice & fish with a local family
🛶 Float through limestone cliffs in a sampan boat
🍲 Feast your way through Hanoi’s best eats
🚴♀️ Bike through peaceful villages
🚢 Cruise overnight in Halong Bay (yes, with squid fishing!)
🕯️ Explore caves and karsts by boat
Dates: April 9–15
Includes: 4-star hotels, 6 breakfasts, 5 lunches, 3 dinners, city transfers, local guide, photo/video workshops
Vote which one you’d like to join us on and ✨MOST IMPORTANTLY✨ add your name to the interest list (otherwise we have no way to contact you!!!). No commitment yet, but you'll get a notification when our trip is live since spots are limited. my.trovatrip.com/public/l/email/juliana-wynkoop
