How the Mekong Delta - Ricefield Lodge was created.
Martin our friendly host and proud owner was born in Augsburg (a small town about 60 km from Munich). He looks back on a career as a professional chef / master chef with 40 years of professional experience in various restaurants and small hotels in Germany.
After a long and hard work, he decided in 2014 to give up everything in Germany, with the idea that work can not be everything. He traveled around the world in the following years to find the inspiration for his future life.
He visited many beautiful and incredible countries like Cuba, Senegal, Gambia, Oman, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam etc.
In doing so, he discovered the "hidden charm" of Vietnam - a beautiful country. After a long trip around Vietnam from the South Mekong Delta to the North Sapa, he falls in love with the country and the local people.
Because of Ho Chi Minh City - the metropolis of millions became too loud after 1.5 years, he started to build his cozy lodge in the country to realize his childhood dream as a farmer.
