Thank you for your interest in joining the Oldfields trip to Vietnam. This country is very close to my heart.

I first visited Vietnam in 2009 on an international recruiting trip for Oldfields. I quickly fell in love with the country, the people, and the way of life. When I retired as Head of School in 2013, I began traveling there twice each year to do pro bono work with Capstone Vietnam, helping Vietnamese students find schools and colleges in the United States. Over time, Vietnam became my second home. I’ve now been there 16 times and cannot wait to share it with you.

This trip will be a chance to explore Vietnam together. We’ll experience a mix of historic sites, breathtaking landscapes, lively cities, and quiet, beautiful places. You’ll meet wonderful people, taste unforgettable food, and return home with memories that will stay with you for a lifetime.

It’s also an opportunity to give back to Oldfields. Proceeds from the trip will be donated to the school to support student travel, history and cultural programs, and other initiatives that enrich the Oldfields experience. You’ll be making a lasting impact while enjoying an unforgettable adventure.
