Meet us, the Zig-zaggers
Hi guys, we are the zig-zaggers!
Dzung and Linh are a couple from Northern Vietnam, managing Innerzen Homestay. Dzung is the leader of the zigzag team. Linh is the designer.
Innerzen Homestay is the departure point for guests on Mekong Zig Zag's sailboat trip.
Chi is the Ba Danh homestay's owner’s younger sister. Ba Danh homestay is where guests will have lunch during the tour.
Chi and An are now the main tour guides of the team.
Mr. Hai is the main scooter “racer", he is the neighbor of Ba Danh homestay.
Mr. Tam is the main “captain" for almost all the boat trips, he is the neighbor of Innerzen homestay.
And now, we live and work together like a family in Mekong Delta, Ben Tre.

An - Tour guide
"Hello everyone, I’m An from Mekong ZigZag. After eight great years on a cruise ship, I had to leave when I had a baby. It was a tough change, but this job has brought me a lot of happiness. The working environment here is perfect, with colleagues like uncle Tam, uncle Hai, Linh, Chi, Chung, and Sỉ always supporting each other with care and kindness. Especially, my boss Dzung has greatly boosted my confidence by trusting me to handle work challenges. Even though I can't travel the world anymore, working at MekongZigZag lets me connect with people from all over the world, which makes me very happy. I look forward to sharing the beauty of my homeland and its warm-hearted people with our guests. Thank you for making ZigZag feel like a second home. I truly appreciate and love you all." - An
Chi - Tour guide
I’m Chi, a 30-year-old born and raised in the coconut paradise of Ben Tre, Vietnam. Back in 2017, I embarked on an adventure to Japan to study and work, but after six amazing years, I found my way back home. Now, I’m a tour guide for Mekong ZigZag, sharing my love for Vietnamese culture – especially the hidden gems of Ben Tre – with friends from near and far. I absolutely adore cooking and surprising my guests with spontaneous, unforgettable local experiences! For me, it’s not just a job; it’s a passion and a lot of fun!

My Story, Our Beginning
Before joining Mekong Zigzag, I never imagined I would one day become a tour guide. My journey started with an unexpected love story in Bến Tre, where I met my husband, Manish. From navigating cultural differences to becoming a mother and stepping away from work, life led me through many changes. After years at home, I challenged myself to return to the world — and that’s how I found Mekong Zigzag. It wasn’t easy at first, but thanks to the support of my team and the travelers I met, I slowly found my confidence again. Now, every tour is not just a job, but a way for me to share my love for this land — and to keep growing. [Read my full story ➝]
Mr. Tam the Boat driver
Mr. Hai the Scooter driver
Mr. Tam (Uncle Tam) is over 70 years old. He was once a gardener, fisherman, and professional diver. He has a passion for karaoke and enjoys decorating his scooter with vibrant colors. Currently, he works as a full-time boat driver and a part-time scooter driver.
Mr. Hai (Uncle Hai) is over 80 years old. He previously worked in construction, but as he got older, health issues prevented him from continuing in the field. Now, he is a full-time scooter driver with us. At home, he lives with his wife, who does not ride a scooter.
Since joining Mekong Zig Zag, Mr. Tam and Mr. Hai have become close friends. They are dedicated to their work, as their income depends on it.
