GearGru.com – Give a value, and you will receive a corresponding value.

Welcome to GearGru.com. We give you valuable info through reviews and info about outdoor gear. We also share articles about traveling in Vietnam.

I am Hoi Nguyen, the creator of GearGru.com – you can call me Hoi. GearGru.com was once congaitoiblog. The purpose of creating it was to show Vietnam to international friends.

I am the only operator of congaitoiblog. I want to help many foreign friends. They want information and tips for traveling to Vietnam. I want to meet and interact with them, although I can’t communicate much in English, but I still want to do that. I want to invite everyone to visit my family. I will introduce you to my children. It will give them more contact with foreigners and help them improve their English.

Those are the values I want to receive, and the value I want to give is its help. I will keep luggage for free for independent travelers. I will also provide information about the places you want to go. And I will book hotel rooms for you without taking a commission.

After a while, starting my idea with Conagitoiblog, I was a bit disappointed. It seems no one trusted me. I joined the TripAdvisor forum. Every day, I’ve got to browse the Vietnam forum many times. I do this to find questions from international friends. I write answers.

I am willing to go or call the places where you need information. I will search and collect it and give it to you. But after a few of my answers, I got a notification from Tripadvisor. I had given you useful information. But the forum said I didn’t follow the rules. The forum may have thought I was advertising or that I didn’t know how to present the info as they wanted. They didn’t see me as thinking and writing to help, it’s to advertise. For example, someone asked which company provides transport from Hanoi to Da Nang. I found and filtered the best and safest info, including phone numbers. But the forum blocked me from sharing it because I broke the rules. I tried many times but wasn’t successful. I am Vietnamese, a native here. The information I provide is very accurate and realistic. It’s better than that of many profit-making organizations, and I do it for no profit.

From that, I also realized that giving values needs a method. Those given values always have a corresponding value returned.

GearGru.com creators established the website for that reason. It operates with the slogan “Everything has value; nothing is free.” This slogan may be a bit abstract and misunderstood. But it’s very simple: we give the values you need. You can give me a value that you think I deserve. You are free to test the values I provide. Then, you can choose to give or not give me back the same values.

Geargru.com provides specific values. They’re about products that I’ve used or collected from people who’ve used them. I filter and test the information based on my experience and knowledge. From there, you get more information to refer to. You can compare and test the product yourself. If you find that information useful, you can buy the product through my affiliate link. That’s the value you’ve given me. You have the right not to buy the product through the affiliate link I share. You can choose to buy it elsewhere. leave a comment on the article or share it with others if you find it useful. That is also the value you give back to me. You can also completely ignore my article if it doesn’t bring good value to you.

GearGru.com always searches for useful information. They’ll bring it to you. I hope GearGru.com will be of great help to you.
