Watching this vlog made me want to book tickets to Vietnam stat!!!❤ Very detailed itinerary, thank you for giving us a glimpse of what to prepare, how much money to budget for the trip, the list of places to try and see. My fave part - of course apart from all the coffee/cafe-hopping - would have to be, having Karl with you along the trip, and both of you experiencing Vietnam together, getting scammed and all, and knowing you are both in it and need not to worry. I love how light and optimistic you both were, and you showed grace despite the situation. It just shows that travelling is not just about the food, touristy places, the glamour and lavish lifestyle, as mishaps and unforseen events can really happen, no matter how prepared you are, no matter where you are. It is ultimately your attitude towards and despite these incidents that determine whether you have a great time or not. 💯 Another fave part would have to be the outfit changes - another grace under pressure moment, and definitely a life skill I must learn! 😉😁 I will definitely be using this vlog as my travel guide to Vietnam soon, and I sure am looking forward to Part 2.

Di lang siguro ako fan nung daming reklamo when in reality kayo naman yung hindi prepared sa research and bookings. Kung may net naman, you could have used a translator to negotiate better like for the boat ride. Let's remember that at the end of the day, it was your choice to agree to their offer. I'm not a vlogger but I do travel frequently, and number 1 talaga is research and booking from reputable companies.

[@bellicasingzon]

i think this will be the only Vietnam travel guide i'll need!! 😍😍😍😍
