Testimonials

Hear from our satisfied clients

At Hum Travel, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional local fixer services that meet the unique needs of each production. But don’t just take our word for it—here’s what some of our clients have to say about their experience with us.

Working with Khoi has not only been a professional highlight for me, but also a personal. He is equal parts intelligent and kind, hard-working and fun. Khoi constantly impressed me with his out-of-the-box, solution-oriented thinking to solve important problems related to our international food and travel show. He managed to expertly and professionally communicate with people around the world to facilitate challenging video productions, while often working with timezones across the globe. Khoi's ability to research, develop, plan and execute productions is only rivaled by his unique ability to brighten any room he steps in. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to spend 2 years learning from and growing with Khoi, resulting in billions of people watching our channel.

We had the pleasure of hiring Khoi as our producer for a series of Jetstar commercials in Vietnam. I say with full sincerity that the expertise, professionalism, creative solutions and organisational skills Khoi brought to our production have set the bar for me in the capacity of both fixer and as a producer. We could not have achieved our complex shoot without his expertise. Khoi brought an understanding of his culture, people and city that’s been unmatched in my other international work. He operated within a tight budget on a short timeline and delivered excellent locations, talent, scheduling advice and logistics support and he did so with an infectious positivity and nothing-is-impossible spirit. Any production would be lucky to have Khoi on their team and I eagerly await another opportunity to work with him.
