(Lonely) Island next to Ha Long City
13. november 2018, Vietnam ⋅ 🌙 24 °C
Chilling at the beach, we really needed this break after some exhausting days and breakfast at 6:45 (Vietnamese style) 😂. Staying here for two nights and flying to Da Nang to visit Hoi An afterwards. Quite lonely here and not much to do, but it feels great not doing anything from time to time.Læs mere

Hai Phong
15. november 2018, Vietnam ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Missed our flight this morning 🤦‍♂️.. so instead of spending 12 hours at the airport and waiting for the next flight, we went into the city end experienced a truly local place. No tourists, no travel agencies, none of the things we usually saw in other areas. But people still try to rip us off and charge 4 times the price for a piece of food 😅.

Anyway.. the next flight is in 7 hours, hopefully everything goes smooth this time 🤞Læs mere

First days in Hoi An — Goodbye Marcel
15. november 2018, Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
After a missed flight and a truly local experience in Hai Phong, we finally arrived in Hoi An. We ended up in a beautiful homestay with local people, who were incredibly friendly and made delicious banana pancakes 😄.

From all the places I’ve seen in Vietnam, this is definitely my favorite one. The town has a special flair to it, and reminds me a bit of Byron Bay in Australia. It’s a chilled, alternative, and at night quite romantic atmosphere. The beach is also beautiful, and it can be reached from the city by bike in 15 minutes.

Marcel left to meet up with Kira in Cambodia, so I’m traveling solo for the rest of the trips. Our adventures together were lots of fun (despite the continuously recurring bad luck), and I’m grateful to have such an amazing friend ❤️.Læs mere

My Son Temple
18. november 2018, Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
Hopped on a scooter today and visited the coconut village, vegetable village, and pottery village around Hoi An. They gave me a pretty good impression of local life around here, although even those places are more and more commercialized.

25km later I arrived at the My Son Temple, a UNESCO world heritage site with impressive ruins. Much of it was destroyed during the Vietnam War (the bomb crates are still there), but there’s enough left to be admired. A cultural show was included in the ticket 👍Læs mere

Hai Van Pass
19. november 2018, Vietnam ⋅ 🌙 26 °C
This was the perfect ending to an amazing adventure in Hoi An and Vietnam. After practicing my scooter driving skills on Vietnamese roads yesterday, I decided to step up my game and drive all the way to the Hai Van Pass. About 200 km later (return trip) I've seen some of the most beautiful landscapes on this trip, drove on some forgotten roads, and ended up in places I didn't even know existed. This was definitely a highlight of my trip, and I'm so glad I did it.

On my way back I passed Da Nang, a city that looks incredible by night. I drove next to the beach, passing Da Nang Bay. Unfortunately I didn't spend any time in Da Nang on this trip, but it's certainly on my list for next time. The beach is also great for surfing.

All in all, this was a great last day in Vietnam. Next destination: Laos.Læs mere

Vientiane
20. november 2018, Laos ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C
I’ve never really heard anything about Laos, and was quite curious to see what the country would be like. I arrived in the capital, which doesn’t really feel like a capital at all. Nonetheless, it is quite an interesting place. I stayed at Barn 1920s, an amazing hostel where I met really nice and interesting people.

I was lucky enough to coincidently be there during the That Luang Festival, which is the country’s most important event, when Lao people from all over the countries come to the That Luang stupa to give their offerings to the monks. I also watched some cultural performances on the street.

On one of the nights I went out to a bar by myself, if we the first time I've ever done this. The night turned into an incredible experience in which I talked to a local Lao person (Lae) and a French guy who moved to Laos four years ago (Yannick). We talked about culture, politics, education, life choices and relationships, which was incredible and inspiring.

I've also met people of different ages who left everything, quit their job, and went traveling. This is so inspiring and it keeps reminding me that there's much more to life than what we often see (and get used to) in our daily lives.Læs mere

Vang Vieng - Lagoons & Caves
23. november 2018, Laos ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
“It’s just a party city”, that’s what a lot of people will tell you about Vang Vieng, and some even skip it for that reason. However, there's so much more to this place, as my pictures clearly show it. Yes, the parties were great, but so were the landscapes. Exploring caves and swimming in lagoons are just two of the countless activities Vang Vieng has to offer.

I rented a mountainbike and started exploring the surroundings, together with one of my roomies (Cyrille) and Tobi, a great guy from Germany I met the night before at the hostel. On the way to the lagoon we encountered some remote places, one of it being the Nam-Borkeo Phabua Cave. There was nobody but us, we had this entire magnificent place for ourselves.

And that was just the first day, but there's so much more to explore.Læs mere

Phangern Mountain Viewpoint
25. november 2018, Laos ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
I dedicate a separate footprint for this place because it is one of the most spectacular ones I've seen on this trip. The hike to the top was quite a challenge, and even more so considering that the sun was soon setting, and I had about one hour for a 1:30 hour hike. I hiked at a really fast pace (and looked like I took a shower when I arrived) and reached the top about 5 minutes before sunset. This was one of the most diverse and interesting hikes I've ever done.

The view was spectacular, I really felt on top of the world (which I guess I was, at least of that world). That feeling you get when you reach the top is indescribable - and priceless. It was worth every single bit of energy I put into the hike.

There were two huts at the top, one pointing towards sunset, one towards sunrise. On my way back I met a couple in the latter hut, they put up a tent and made a small fire, probably preparing for dinner. I must say this was one of the most romantic adventures I've ever witnessed, and one that has definitely landed on my bucket list (given I return to Laos at some point, which I think I will). The atmosphere was just perfect, and maybe I was even slightly envious in that moment, imagining myself in such a setting.

I hiked back in complete darkness (prepared with a head torch, of course 😏), which reminded me a lot of the hike I did by night at Mount Warning in Australia, in order to watch the sunrise. A really fun adventure!

To put it shortly, this was an absolute highlight of my journey.Læs mere
