About Hoang

If there's one person who knows the Hanoi-to-Sapa route inside out, it's Tracy. As our Sales & Transport Expert, she has personally ridden every major bus operator, tested VIP cabins at 2 AM, and timed how long each company actually takes versus what they promise.

Tracy joined Sapa Nomad in 2021 and quickly became the go-to person for transport advice. She works directly with bus and train operators — negotiating schedules, checking cabin conditions, and verifying pickup points so our guides stay accurate. When a new sleeper bus launches or a company changes its route, Tracy is usually on the first ride.

Her writing style is like chatting with a friend who's already made all the mistakes for you. No sugarcoating, no filler — just honest reviews, real prices, and practical tips from someone who's been on 50+ rides between Hanoi and Sapa.
