Vietnam

Earlier this month, I visited Vietnam for the first time in my life. It’s the most beautiful country I’ve been to; hopefully, the photos and videos below can convey at least a small part of this beauty.

Hà Nội

My first meal in Vietnam. Trying to avoid gluten has been relatively easy—noodles are everywhere, but they’re typically made from rice.

I tried my luck too. Fortunately, my epic fail wasn’t captured on camera.

Had an amazing lunch at this small, family-run restaurant.

It rained for 20 minutes. This was the only rain I experienced in Vietnam.

The imprints of the French colonial era (St. Joseph’s Cathedral).

The people gathering here are the most powerful, influential, sexiest people in Hà Nội. I even got too excited at 0:21.

Tràng An

Spending two days in Ninh Bình province has probably been my favorite part of the whole trip. The nature here is so different from anything else I’ve seen before.

Linda is an amazing tour guide. She organised my travels in Northern Vietnam, including Hà Nội, Ninh Bình, and Hạ Long Bay. Whether you’re travelling alone or with a group, Linda is the best person if you want to explore around Hà Nội; you can reach her on Facebook.

And leaving…

Tuyet Tinh Coc

Tam Coc

We’d come back to this place in a rowboat the following day.

Thung Nang

We went on a boat trip early in the morning to see the water lilies. Thung Nang is a lot less touristy than Tràng An—two hours spent here were incredibly peaceful.
