H'ANETTA BUÔN YĂ
Adventure Tour guide
H’Anetta hailed from the Ede ethnic group and grew up in Gia Lai. She is currently the only female tour guide at Oxalis Adventure. During her time as an English Literature student at Hue University of Foreign Languages, she worked as a freelance tour guide in Hue to support her life. After graduation, she returned to her hometown of Gia Lai to pursue teaching English to high school students in Nhon Hoa town, Chu Puh district. Then she realized that she needed to continue to improve her knowledge to further develop her career in the future. Therefore, under the encouragement of her family, she decided to return to Hue to continue her studies in the Master's program in English Language Teaching Methodology. As fate would have it, she came across a job posting for an Adventure Tour Guide at Oxalis during this period. With her youthful enthusiasm and prior experience, she applied and became one of the few female adventure tour guides at Oxalis.
H'Anetta has been a guide for all tours operated by Oxalis, ranging from one to four days. She was also regularly entrusted with leading film crews and large media groups, including the Son Doong expedition with H'Hen Nie, Travel Blogger Tran Dang Dang Khoa, National Geographic photographer Tran Tuan Viet, and various film crews from Japan and Korea. She is one of the most experienced guides on the Son Doong Expedition Tour, so she is often affectionately called "The girl who has been to Son Doong the most in the world". Throughout her time working at Oxalis as an adventure guide, she has always been a beloved and unforgettable guide for customers, even after the trip has ended.
Aside from having a Bachelor's and Master's degree from Hue University of Foreign Languages, she also holds a professional tour guide certificate from Phu Xuan University - Hue and has participated in various safety training courses during her time as a tour guide. She regularly attends tourism-related training courses and conferences to enhance her management and networking skills, with the most recent being the Tourism Promotion and Development Conference in Thai Nguyen in 2020, the Winning Leadership course in Quang Binh in 2020, and the Sustainable Tourism Development program in Ho Chi Minh City in 2019..
