Solo Backpacking Vietnam | 4 Weeks | Itenerary

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

Hi steemians!
I've put together an itinerary that is great for a first-time journey to Vietnam based on my own experience. By following this Vietnam itinerary, you’ll see both the north and south of the country and you'll experience big cities as well as villages that are off the beaten track. My goal is not to impress with my pictures, they are not even professional...haha, it's more to encourage you to pack your stuff and discover this beautiful planet! ;)

I'll let the pictures do most of the talking, as there are already many blogs on internet and I try to focus on the essential information.

Cheers! ;)


FACTS:
  • Recommended stay: 3-4 weeks
  • Costs (travel on a budget): hostel, > 5€ | street food , >2€ | transit, low priced

ITERNERARY:

From North to South: Hanoi - Halong Bay - Nin Binh (Tam Coc) - Phong Nha - Hoi An - Qui Nhon - Dalat - Mui Ne - Ho Chi Minh City - Can Tho

Nice extensive post. I spent a month in Vietnam way back when it first opened up in '98. It would have changed a lot. I will head back one day.
