    🇻🇳 Vietnam overview 🍜🛵🚌

    June 9, 2022 in Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    🔖 Before you go:
    Save some money so when you get to the country you can purchase a bike. You won't regret using this method of transport, and you can sell it once you finish your trip. Also learn or write down some important things in vietnamese because it might be hard to find someone speaking english in most of the cases.

    🤤 Best food:
    1. Bán Xéo (vietnamese pancakes)
    2. Egg Coffee
    3. Smoked Ice Cream

    🛌 Places to stay:
    1. Hanoi Central Backpackers (1 hour free beer)
    2. Khang Homestay (fell in love with the genuine kindness of the owner)
    3. Lan's Homestay (beautiful place, very nice owner and amazing food)

    📝 Must do:
    1. Eat Street food at Hanoi's old quarter
    2. Drive a motorbike along the north of the country
    3. Try out the interesting night buses

    👁️Top attractions:
    1. Bike tour on the north (Ha Giang Loop if your tight on time)
    2. Sapa Hike
    3. Hanoi's old quarter

    ✨Favorite moments:
    1. Bike trip with the Brokepackers
    2. Camping in the mountain with the hole
    3. Last night in Hanoi with the guys that rented us the bikes
    (Yes Gabi, for when you read this, all them where with you🙄 enjoy this moment)

    🔑Something this country tought me:
    Just because everyone is travelling in a way doesn't mean I have to do it as well. Taking it my way is also alright, even if I often feel out of place.

    ♻️Something I've had enough of:
    The overpriced Night Buses

    ⏳Something I will miss:
    Street Food

    👣Leaving for next time:
    Halong Bay, Desmilitarised Zone (very sad I was unable to do this) and the South of the country

    🎁To be remembered:
    Vietnamese cheers
