About our CEO and Founder -Mike Van Nguyen
CEO on a boat

Mike was kayaking through the mangrove forest in Tonle Sap lake, Cambodia.

While earning his bachelor's degree from the University of Economics in Ho Chi Minh City, Mike's desire to ignite a career in travel began to burn. Beginning as a guide while still a student he soon landed a position with top Canadian luxury travel operator, Butterfield & Robinson, and the next fifteen years were spent leading tours across Vietnam and Cambodia where he carved his own niche in luxury, active travel. As a result, he knows Southeast Asia like few others and having developed a sixth sense for the needs and expectations of the high-end traveller, began Ansova in 2009. Mike sees the company as a vehicle for sharing his passion for discovery and creating experiences that are authentic, immersive and unique.

Tailor-made journeys that create magic memories

We travel because we need to, because distance and difference are the secret tonic to creativity. When we get home, home is still the same, but something in our minds has changed, and that changes everything.
