A Trek Deep into SAPA Vietnam With The Hmong People 🇻🇳

[@BobbySmith-z1r]

What an awesome family. Wish there was a way we could donate to them. She turned out to be a real sweetheart. I had my doubts in the prior video when she was hustling her wares lol.

[@delimac59]

This post was easily one of your best yet! I can guarantee that the food you ate was the healthiest foods that you could ever eat! We all should be so lucky to eat that good everyday! You are blessed!!

[@marcoroams]

Wow, thank you! 🤩

[@JmeJian]

I prefer the waterproof back up camera, much more stable and doesn’t hurt my head and eyes with the wobbliness lol

[@marcoroams]

Thanks for the feedback! It’s nice to hear what people like 👍🏽

[@JmeJian]

@@marcoroams Noticed a lot of bloggers I watch use the unsteady cameras cause they get the effects of action etc. one KZbinr I watch here in the uk just hold an iPhone and is steady as anything with good quality

I agree!

[@sandw84]

No worries Marco, your videos are Great ❤🎉

[@TF-ee3in]

It's been said here already but WOW...what an amazing video, it's one of your best! From the arduous journey, the beautiful views and the genuine and charming locals...loved it! That trek up the mountain with the local ladies had me smiling, what a great interaction 😋You've outdone yourself my friend 😊 Way to go Marco! 🤘😎

[@marcoroams]

Thanks so much, I appreciate that. I wasn’t sure how people would react to this video but they love it, It’s as raw and simple as it gets, no planning, just a real journey in nature 😎

[@neilrooke6865]

Great video man, the lady and her family show how lovely the locals are. Just amazing. ❤

It's amazing how different thier living is comepaired to around the world. seems like they arnt even on the same planet 😭

[@marcoroams]

This video will likely perform pretty bad, it’s more of a chill one compared to what I usually do. Doesn’t bother me! I wanted to go on an authentic journey and I enjoyed it! ⛰️😌

[@TheGaragelifter]

Ill do my part to boost it brother.

[@marcoroams]

@@TheGaragelifter it all good man! Just a like and a comment 🙏🏽

[@xXCigarXx]

I doubt it will do bad,some of these views were incredible and Pan was a great guide and was excellent with her english. That bridge was super high....I get such a high from being in elevated places like that. Something about it just gets my adreneline pumping.

[@fido7783]

This is one of my favorite so far. I want to go to Sapa on my visit to Vietnam in December. Not sure if i will have time tho with all the other things I want to do.

[@juniper4915]

I prefer this kind of video. It’s so interesting to see how people live in the villages.

[@deswhelanphoto]

Your guide is such a lovely lady Marco. The craftwork is so beautiful and the scenery is amazing. i reckon the first camera is better. looks like your having a blast mate. Food looked lovely 🙂

[@marcoroams]

Thanks Des!! Yeah mate, great to get away from the city life and see how people like this live … family all together enjoy REAL food! Sitting in the rain eating with locals in a remote village, honestly priceless 🌧️🙏🏽

[@lpstime101]

I love your videos you should be at 1M 💕💕

[@glitchard3685]

Wow. I'm not even 10 minutes into the video, but I must say... those views, with the mountains, the farms, all the trees, AND the misty fog... too beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. -And what a nice little village! I love that place so much. The food they served you looked so tasty as well! I keep finding things to gush about XD the tapestries and all the textiles they made are incredible as well. Such skill. Wow.

[@marcoroams]

Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah a bit different to my other videos but really wanted to show something nice and wholesome 😁🙏🏽

[@pareenainhom5773]

Yay, more videos! Thanks, Marco!🙏😃

[@marcoroams]

[@KansasOff-Grid]

Love how the whole family lives together, everyone pitches in on gardening and getting stuff done. The american ppl should take note of this. would be more prosperous that way.

[@marcoroams]

Everyone needs to take note, the family structure has fallen apart in the west unfortunately. It was nice to sit down at a family dinner 🙏🏽

[@srah23]

Gosh that wet path on the side of a literal cliff looked so treacherous! Breathtakingly beautiful, but sketchy for sure! I actually love your more chill videos of a glimpse into the lives of the locals. Absolutely love seeing you with the purple parasol too lol. Ps, Marco, did anyone ever tell you that you look just like the aussie version of Charlie Day?

[@marcoroams]

Glad you enjoyed it! Haven’t done many videos like this, but maybe I should. lol never heard of him, but I just looked and I can see a bit of resemblance

[@kut-ritetileinstallation7314]

[@crapster]

An amazing journey. Those ladies are adorable. A very dangerous and slippery trek, I'm glad you guys are safe.

[@SavageW4A]

Marco, your channel will do much better with videos like this, outside the cities. It is FAR more interesting than buildings ....they all look the same after a while. Also, toughen up a bit lol 😂 and get some hiking boots

[@marcoroams]

Thanks for the feedback, yeah a lot of people are saying they like to see this kind of stuff out in nature, maybe I need to do more

Fantastic video, the best one up to now in Vietnam. Love the lady, she was so knowledgeable. How does she speak and understand English so well? I was wondering how did you get back to your hotel, or did you stay as their guest.

[@marcoroams]

Yeah totally!! Because they speak and interact everyday and just pick it up as they go. I had to get a car and we ended up going along the road, my ankle was was too sore by the end and it was torrential rain 🌧️

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@Captainsquid77]

Wow bro.... How freaking lucky are you!! To sit down at a local family's home. And eat with them!!! When it comes to other countries and cultures, I could care less about the tourist crap. What you do is something I will hopefully be able to do one day. To learn about the authentic families and the authentic traditions of their culture!

You should do a video when you are back home and give reviews on the items you have bought overseas. How have they held up were they worth it and such. It would fill some time on your channel while you arent traveling and I think it would make for a pretty hilarious video if maybe you edit in the clips from when you bought the items. 😂

That would be an awesome video I would like to see.

[@marcoroams]

Haha that’s actually a pretty good idea, some stuff lasts forever and some breaks in 2 days

I'm gonna make a purely videographic comment here. This is the Ista360? Mate, I think this looks much better than the stuff you shot with the other one. I personally wouldn't even consider shooting with a camera that doesn't have stabilisation. I think you should have a go at filming in Linear rather than Wide Angle though

[@marcoroams]

Yeah that’s fair man, well maybe I will give it a go for another video. I just feel the audio isn’t up to scratch. The microphone on the Sony is amazing
