Shared. Founder's Trips are the adventures we want to take ourselves. We bring together small groups of curious travelers, places we’re genuinely excited about, trusted local partners and the kind of active experiences that get you beyond simply seeing a destination. They're personally hosted, thoughtfully designed and intentionally social. --- ### Personally Hosted Travel alongside experienced hosts who are there to share the journey with you. ### Small by Design Just 14 travelers—enough for great group energy without ever feeling like a tour bus. ### Built to be shared Active days, great meals and memorable experiences with an interesting group of fellow travelers.  ![Dan And Carol 2](https://privadatravel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Dan%20And%20Carol%202.jpg?width=1127&height=1127&name=Dan%20And%20Carol%202.jpg "Dan And Carol 2") ### Your Hosts ### Meet Dan & Carol Austin For more than three decades, Dan and Carol Austin have built their lives around active travel. As the founders of Austin Adventures, they’ve spent their careers designing and leading adventures around the world—and learning what makes a trip truly memorable. Now they’re bringing that experience to Vietnam. This will be Carol’s 15th Founder’s Trip, and they’ll travel alongside the group from Hanoi to Hoi An. ### Why Vietnam? ### Hear from Dan & Carol   ### Trip at a glance # The essentials All the key details at a glance.
