VIETNAM

This wonderful country in East Asia tells quite a fascinating story. From the bustling streets of Hanoi to the ancient town of Hoi An down to the tunnels of Ho Chi Minh, its every corner promises an adventure of a lifetime. From the locals with their warmest smiles to the ancient pieces of architecture around, a time in Vietnam is one not wasted. And did I mention the food?

MY 7-DAY ULTIMATE VIETNAM BACKPACKING GUIDE

Vietnam was my first out of the country trip and I must say I didn't regret it one bit when I chose it over other countries I had in mind. My time there was amazing. This country is so lovely. From the people, to the culture and the food, everything! It was one of the best!

ARE YOU ALL PACKED AND READY TO GO? SOME TOP TIPS, YEAH?!

Vietnam is a pretty easy country to travel to and if you are a Filipino traveling abroad for the first time, this country should be on top of your choices. It's Visa-Free and perfect for those on a tight budget. Here are some tips you might find useful.

GETTING THERE

Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are two of the best entry points to get to Vietnam. Other major cities like Da Nang also cater to international carriers but flights are pretty limited.

ACCOMMODATION

Book your accommodation in advance. It may sound more ideal to look for cheap hostels once you get there but just to save you the hassle, might as well make your reservation ahead of time as good places tend to run out fast.

FOOD & DRINKS

 Food in Vietnam is amazingly delicious and they are very affordable. Pho, Bon Bo Hue and Bun Cha are a must try. And their coffee.. Uh. Heaven. 

CONNECTIVITY

Public places in Vietnam such as train stations, airport and restaurants are usually powered by free wifi but if you would like to stay connected all the time, better to buy a local sim card.

The Huc Bridge is such a beguiling sight at night. Check this and other must see spots in Hanoi's Old Quarter.

Hi! I’m Keza

I like to call myself a blabbermouth which I derived from my being chatty and my eagerness to speak my mind. I have this insatiable thirst for epic adventures and brand new discoveries which I fondly write about and share on this blog, A Wanderful Sole. My idea of a perfect morning is coffee and toast at the beach marveling at a spectacular sunrise or atop a mountain admiring the dreamy sea of clouds. Waterfalls are my first loves along with panoramic sunsets, chocolates and cats!
