[@mrkprd5051]

Came from tiktok and I have to say this girl is living her life to the fullest!!! I’m excited for her next travel vids.🤗🤗🤗

[@monetizabeth]

THANK YOUUUUU!!! A new one is coming this week 🎉

[@PackedInRain]

Thanks for making this video! I'm planning a trip to Vietnam in November and am anxious about motorcycling through it but as I'm watching your adventure, it gives me comfort it can absolutely be done. There is more logistics I have to think through, but this is a great start for me! 🙂

[@keithhogg1963]

Hey, I’m a little late watching your video. I stumbled across it. That was very impressive of you. You handled everything very well. Even the whoops.I am 60. Moved to Saigon end of last year. And married a Vietnamese lady. And I still haven’t ridden a motorbike on my own yet. It’s very intimidating to me. But watching your video. I have a little more confidence in myself to try it. I am sure my wife would appreciate it😂 So thank you for sharing your trip. 😊 new subscriber by the way😉

[@keithhogg1963]

Ps. I have callus’s on my ass. From riding on the back. My ass cheeks were raw to begin with too. I know tmi😂

Best Saigon-Hanoi motorbike video I've watched. The video is not too long, not too short. Good fun stops events and information along with well-edited footage. Enjoyed the music too. 👍

[@trnsfr9014]

You have a great sense of how everything should flow within your video, and the editing is outstanding. The quality is on par with any million-sub channel and I applaud you for that.

[@monetizabeth]

Thanks so much!!

[@inCARSONate]

Well done! Riding a motorbike through Viet Nam is one of the greatest mind expanding travel adventures of a lifetime 🙏🏼 your rooftop thing in HCM was a unique twist I haven’t seen on KZbin.

[@softwareqamanager]

Your positive attitude is contagious!!! You are courageous and adventurous. How inspiring.

[@susanfaulkner6767]

I rode on the back of a motorbike from Saigon to Hue once. Next trip nine years later I rode from Hanoi to hoi An. I was with an experienced driver each time. You are so brave to have driven especially in the big cities. Watching your video brought back so many wonderful memories!!!

[@monetizabeth]

That's such a great way to do it!!! Hanoi was pretty scary, even after two weeks straight of riding haha

[@mjsolly01]

Watching all these is getting me excited to start traveling again. The commentary is some of the best

[@monetizabeth]

thank you!!!! I also CANNOT WAIT TO GET BACK OUT THERE!!!

[@RobPittman]

Okay...so I'm in VN now and doing a Hanoi to Saigon trip...but with a combination of planes, trains, and buses with local jaunts around the cities I hangout in with local rented motorbikes. I'm an experienced road/desert/motocross motorcycle guy with mountain bike and road cycling rider & racer experience to complete my resume. I have also ridden a good bit in Thailand, and now Vietnam, so I can relate to every bit of your masterpiece video. Bottom-line: That was an an AWESOME video Monet! I just today did a Hue-to-Hai-Van-Pass-Summit-and-Back-To-Hue road trip. The weather and super-light traffic was perfect ONCE on the wonderfully winding 22 km HVP road. But as you point-out, the getting there on (first) the busy Hue city roads, and then (second) the heavily truck & tour bus-infested "highway", and then (third) on the way back dealing once again with Hue Friday afternoon/festival city traffic, is essentially beyond being harrowing as Hell. Since relative to the ride and your video, I could gush for a few pages on how I loved it , hated it, and will not sleep tonight because of it, I'm just going to use an array of words instead. Here goes.... Funny, stupid, outrageous, nuts/crazy, hilarious, creative, scary, painful, beautiful, dumb, clever, ouchy, (is to a word!), miraculous, amazing, outlandish, dangerous, brave, stinky, relatable, well-done...and if I haven't already said....HILARIOUSLY FUNNY. Plus I'm relatabily (may not be a word) chapped just thinking about the butt & inner thigh side of the story. Great Job!

[@heskimanus3283]

you are funny but smart😄Keep your spirits up

[@frugallandlord6974]

I go to Saigon every year, I will do this trip one day, I want to explore north Vietnam, loved your video thanks for sharing

[@leevikiviranta9071]

Great trip! i've driven in Vietnam , Philippines, Thailand,India, and still hungry about explore more destinations. driving by motorbike is the best way feel everything on a trip.

[@avuky191]

Amazing! Even Vietnamese cannot do this. This is my goal. I promise someday I have to do this once in my life.

[@philjhealey]

What time of year did you do this trip? I'm planing something similar in March next year.

[@daffakurniawan6237]

ur vids are very well curated u deserve more recognitions!!

[@monetizabeth]

Aw thanks!! I'll get there :)

[@JacytanMelo59]

Wonderful, I loved your video. Lots of fun and information. Vietnam is beautiful country.😊

[@Napo4k]

Well done! I thoroughly enjoyed this video 👍🏾

[@normanparthiban4383]

I left from this exact Tigit location in Feb of 2020 from a loop of southern vietnam. I knew how to ride a motorcycle but had never ridden in the city. Was nervous but I definitely would not have done it as a first timer!

Lâu lắm rồi mới được nghe lại bài này. Hay lắm ạ 😘

[@nivijensen7384]

I love the video! Did you buy your bike or did you rent it? And if so, how much did you spent on the bike and helmet?

[@monetizabeth]

sorry so late to response to this! I rented it, and if I remember correctly i think it cost about 250 USD for a couple weeks. Check out Tigit Motorbikes!

[@markbrazil4408]

You are so charming, omg! Much love to you!👍💕

[@josephherrmann6304]

Did you have a Vietnam driver license and motobike insurance with the cards which are both mandatory here? Have a bad accident without either your fault or not and see what happens. Ever seen the show-"Locked-Up Abroad'?

[@mahariharith340]

around time 9.00 the vietnese background music is rocking it! AWESOME! Would love to know who is it by? Much love xoxo

[@monetizabeth]

I think you're talking about Suboi! She's an amazing Vietnamese rapper, check her out. The song is "N-Sao?"

[@mahariharith340]

@@monetizabeth it sounded like a guy tho ...the one u played 😅

Fantastic video, I am not a troll but believe me when I tell you you should be using the front brake most of the time, at least for most cases!?🙏

[@RijalFahmiMohamadi]

suka nonton vlognya, lanjukan buat yang seperti ini! :D

[@monetizabeth]

Thank you!!!!!!

[@peterrzhall]

Was your bike 50cc or 125cc???

[@CptFarlow]

That bike is a Honda Blade 110cc. It's a great bike to trek through Vietnam.

[@BL-db6xt]

Monet U R beautifully crazy. & what kind of the music in the background is it. I oddly like it. Cheers & Ciao.

[@monetizabeth]

It's all Vietnamese music!

[@brucele7755]

The political situation at the time was complex but South Vietnam was an independent democratic country. The north invaded with the help of communist insurgents, the Soviet Union and China. The US tried to help but abandon the South after Nixon was impeached resulting in the fall of Saigon in 1975. After they took over, the communists jailed and killed thousands.

[@phatle2737]

what a trip!! can i have song names in this video please.

[@ethanj1598]

very surprised by your vlog .. you definitely offered adventure but something tells me that you are the adventure :) if you ever come to Hawaii let me know so we can have some beer .. just because you do not like it :)

[@harrypham1693]

You seem to love Vietrock, too.

How did you manage to rent a bike without a motorcycle license?

I bet!

[@hieunguyenquang2559]

Really enjoy your energy and curiousity! As a Vietnamese, I haven't even tried riding by myself from Hanoi to HCM City, but you did really inspire me to do so one day. Thank you for making all the way to Vietnam and surely we welcome you again anytime. I have followed you and your travelling journey for quite a while now, ever since that Greenland video and your work with the NYTimes. Keep on exploring, all the best to you, and I wish I had the humor you have haha, it's deadly

[@monetizabeth]

Thank you so much!! Let me know if you ever make the trip, I'd love to hear about it!

[@มดแดง-ฃ3ข]

เมืองไทยก็ไม่ใช่น้อยหน้าหรอกเรื่องนี้ไม่อยากพูด

[@kellylam5014]

Uhhh…the “pink meat” is cooked. Pork and chicken will turn pink after it’s marinated with salt. 😒

[@monetizabeth]

Yup that’s why I said it’s totally fine to eat it!

[@lizhuynhkenny]

Love your documenting your journey. Good to watch as at this time it’s just nicer to stay in bed and soak in the scenery. But music esp. at 21:02 so distracting and I got no idea what that is- someone thinks that this jibber is h is cool. Anyway kudos- you are so brave god getting on that bike Thanks and cheers 🙏

If you are using a motobike to travel to remote villages watch out for robbery by local policement. see this story for more details: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYSTq3uJm6iWhas

I hope you find this comment someday.

[@WalterWhite5678]

damn shes cute

[@adv67]

A little careless of driving a motorbike in Vietnam with out knowing how to drive. Hoping you discourage your followers not to do the same.

[@pokoro97]

Soon as I saw the honda blade i knew it was almost definitely from tigit :D Havent had the chance to use their services but they have great youtube videos

[@richbrig3]

Not a serious vlogger, too silly and imature. If you expect to influence others, especially other newbie woman who want to experience riding please spend more time with safety issues.

[@Johnnykissmyass]

Idk how you can manage sitting in the bike that long. I spent a full day on one and I couldn’t stand the next day

[@monetizabeth]

It was ROUGH on my bum 😂
