I Came To Vietnam For A Few Weeks. I Stayed For A Year.
🇻🇳 One Year In Vietnam: What I Saw, What I Learned When I first arrived in Vietnam, I thought I'd stay for a few weeks. Somehow that turned into more than a year. Over the last 12 months I've travelled from the mountains near the Chinese border all the way down to the islands near Cambodia. Along the way I've ridden the Ha Giang Loop, explored Hanoi, visited Sapa, cruised through Ha Long Bay, discovered Ninh Binh, wandered the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An, experienced Ho Chi Minh City and relaxed on the beaches of Phu Quoc. I've made plenty of videos about the cost of living in Vietnam, visas, apartment tours and daily life, but in this video I wanted to do something different. This is a look back at some of the places I've visited, the experiences I've had and the things that made Vietnam one of the most memorable countries I've ever explored. 🌏 Need mobile data while traveling?
