Betty Nguyen

Betty Nguyen founded Nomoon in 2016 after fifteen years building a career in Silicon Valley. She has traveled to more than seventy countries across four continents, speaks English, Spanish, and Vietnamese, and has lived and worked in Tulum long enough to know it the way a local does.

During the pandemic, Betty expanded Nomoon Group to include Tulum Yachts and Go Tulum Travel, deepening the brand’s footprint in the Yucatan and giving clients a more complete picture of the region.

Her corporate background shapes how Nomoon is run: client agreements are written to protect the traveler, supplier partnerships are held to clear standards, and the details most agencies leave to chance are the ones she pays the most attention to.

Outside of work, Betty is an Aerospace Education Officer with the Civil Air Patrol and is actively working toward her private pilot’s license. She is also a member of the 501st Legion, the international Star Wars costuming organization that raises funds for children’s charities, and volunteers regularly as a Stormtrooper at events and parades. She is a UC Berkeley alumna and a committed member of 1% for the Planet.

She documents her personal travel on Instagram and ohsobetty.com, where the writing is first-person and the restaurant recommendations are tested before they are posted.

Betty takes one-on-one consultations on Intro with travelers looking for travel ideas, and with hospitality brands and industry professionals looking to talk through business or marketing strategies.
