First Day Exploring Hanoi (Alone) 🇻🇳 | Honest First Impressions of Vietnam

Hanoi has been such an incredible city to explore with so many things to do and full of some of the BEST food in Vietnam. From walking past the Old Quarter (too many times) to eating amazing banh mi, here’s to my first day in Hanoi!
Not only is Hanoi is a great place to situate yourself if you're planning on exploring Vietnam's nature, but it's also a safe place for solo travelers. From a number of expats to locals knowing how to speak English, I never felt endangered for my safety!

Thank you for your time and posting. I'll be going to VN in October (2024) to see if I want to retire there. Hoping it really works out. I'm already retired, just looking for a nice place with nice people. I've traveled alone all my life, it has been absolutely great. Just because I travel alone, doesn't mean I am lonely. ;)

It would be AMAZING if you made a video on the perfect 2 weeks in Vietnam. Where to land, places to stay, places to eat, tours to take, what places to visit and in what order. It is probably too much to ask but it would be so so helpful. ❤

[@huthut777]

Love your vids, very inspiring !

[@jamesl9371]

I stayed near your hotel once. And I’m coming to Hanoi again this week. 😀 looking forward to it. Yeah they wear those hats everywhere. I like them too

[@gracefkim]

love these hats so much!

[@sadstar7520]

Can’t wait the day you come to Ninh Binh !! You will only can say “wwoww” all the time

[@gracefkim]

Waiting for my driver as we speak!

[@jilldawson89]

Spending only 1 day in Saigon is not enough to discover much of the South Vietnam. There are tons of foods, many .... many exotic places and scenery that you have not tried or seen yet in the South Vietnam.

[@maher5905]

[@mattwinick7659]

Great travel insights 😊 btw you said your flight was “packed to the brim” I think you meant full to the brim…cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

[@Justin2Nguyen]

[@rekt3651]

[@robertwilfred12]

When I went there, I wished I stayed at a hotel near the lakes... It was so peaceful walking around.... I unfortunately booked near the pub area and it can get mental going home at night😬

[@scheis123]

Your videos make me want to visit Hanoi and Vietnam--I never wanted to before so that shows how positively your videos can affect someone!

[@VSS32542]

[@ninasan1524]

This video is good, but it’d be so much more interesting and informative if she had pointed the camera at the local sceneries she is seeing around her instead of showing her face 90% of the time.

[@thaiau8601]

Sapa incoming

[@peterpham2675]
