13 Days in Vietnam on a Budget

- Honestly, this video wasn't even supposed to exist.
We came here with the intention of making a 3 days in Hanoi and Saigon, ya know covering the capital and the biggest city, but as soon as we got here, we looked at each other and decided that obviously we gotta take a crazy trip all the way across this country and see the whole darn thing from top to bottom.
That's the thing about Vietnam - it just sucks you in, there's no fighting it.
We've got our usual $100 USD per day budget, and our adventure starts in Hanoi. We’re going to be taking trains and boats and smaller boats and motorbikes and whatever else we can find as we work our way down to Saigon over the next 2-ish-weeks.

I really enjoyed Josh's commentary on this video. Thanks Lisa and Josh for taking me along on your Vietnam adventure. 🇻🇳
Don't do it.
Vietnam is following the footsteps of China. Playing the long game.
Keeping a low profile until they become Rich, and then the Communists of Vietnam will invade America , just like what China is doing now
Awesome looking fwd to using your travel template.
very good info, great travel video.
Amazing, Welcome to Vietnam
I watch a lot of travel vlogs on TH-cam and you guys are second to none - the quality and professionalism of these videos diaries are greater appreciated
I'm only 7 minutes into the video, but I had to stop and comment about how much I'm enjoying/appreciating your editing style, your commentary, and the overall enthusiasm for Vietnam. As someone who hasn't been back to Vietnam in over a decade, I am vicariously living through the both of y'all.
Pros: excellent intro that wrapped me in and had me sticking around, great editing throughout, a lot of personality and individuality compared to other youtubers. Love it!
Me and my wife are binge watching y’all’s videos these days and getting inspired!!! Love them.
We never watch videos longer than 12-15 minutes, 19 if they are REALLY well done. When I tell you that we posted up like we were watching Lisa and Josh's Excellent Adventure and enjoyed the whole thing in one sitting I am not joking. It was the perfect mix of your personalities, good writing, and visual interest/description of where you went.
It's like watching actors only better because you seem like basically normal people enjoying each other and life. So good
wow, this is too kind, thank you so much for watching and for telling us!!!
I'm Vietnamese, born and grew up in Hanoi. This video made me have a big smile on my face every single minutes. I love your content, and admire the way you described your thought about everything happened around. So relaxed. So cool! Thanks for travelling Vietnam. Hope to see another Vietnam trip of you guys! There's so many beautiful things and stuffs to see and enjoy ;) Love you guys!
I spent 10 days in Vietnam last year and this reminded me of all the things I loved about it! Also love that you show the highs and the lows, no need for the fake TH-cam facade here - travelling has its less amazing days, that's just life!
Hi Lisa & Josh, I honestly lost count of how many times I watched this video. First of all, you inspired my husband and I to spend a month in Vietnam with my 18 years old son - we are flying in 40 days! Secondly, you guys are really amazing! I love the humor, honest opinion about the experiences you've had and the chemistry between the two of you. I have a lot of fun watching your videos. Anyhow, after Vietnam we are flying to Japan, so needless to say I am also watching all your saga there. Thanks for all your hard-work to make your trips an inspiration for us.
I've lived in Vietnam for almost 2 years now. 1 year in Saigon and almost a year in Hanoi. I gotta say, you did Vietnam proud. I've been to everyplace you went. That small, peaceful, non-motorbikey place in Hanoi is not West Lake. It is Truc Bach... where I live. It's too bad you met the shitty grab drivers in Hue and the rude, pushy women at Ben Thanh market (I loathe that place). I watched your whole 2 hour video in 2 sittings. I love Vietnam.
Hello you two, my wife and I just finished watching your Vietnam adventure and if I had 4 thumbs 👍👍👍👍 I would rate it with all of them! You guys are the best, been a subscriber for some time now and this was your best 👍👍👍👍
Josh you and Lisa are great at narrating.
Thanks for all you do as we appreciate you showing us Asia. My wife is from Thailand but I have never been over seas as I met her in California. Keep up all the good work ❤💪❤❤❤
Lisa and Josh, you've outdone yourselves! Thoroughly enjoyed the challenges and beautiful experiences you've shared of your time in Vietnam. Thank you!
thank you so so so much!! :)
I’m loving the longer videos it’s like a movie I can escape in!
Loved it! Absolutely loved it. We just got back from Japan using many of your videos as a source of info. We are planning to visit Vietnam in Dec 2024. Kinda sad that you guys haven't done a Vietnam video...then bam... today you drop this epic video. Soo excited for our next adventure. You guys rock.
The editing on that intro!! 👏Bravo! You're killing it. So fun to see these videos be such a big hit. Hope y'all are proud!
My husband and I are going to visit Vietnam next month! So excited to see your video! A great video!
@oliviae, Have good Trips to Vietnam 🇻🇳 good luck for both of You.. Enjoy and happy all month long..🎉😊🎉😊
we are going in March this year, so hoping the humidity doesnt near kill me like it did in August! make sure your accommodation has aircon!
Hi, Katweaver yes June, July, August is so hot 🔥 better times on February 10th to last of April the Whether befits No't hot and no Rain until May, June, July, August, September from October to January most is Rainy 🌧 ⛅️ in Central VN and North VN, but in South VN so good No't hot but some time got Rainy..
Me too
Thank you for this reminder of one of the best countries I have ever visited - the smells, tastes, people and scenery of Vietname. Time to do it all again methinks.
Great trip to Vietnam! I just want to say, I we are animal lovers too, I love your simple heartfelt interactions with the local fur babies. Keep inspiring you two! Love it!
This is your first video that I watched. Just what I wanted to find for my Vietnam travel dream itch! (Haven't been there yet). What an experience you guys had! I love your down-to-earth approach. I also love how you guys are all about *the experience* and not yourselves, which is not all that common with many travel TH-camrs, especially the couples. As a foodie, I appreciate your lavish focus on the food you eat! Very solid production and great choices for music, tastefully used. You have earned my subscription!
Such a great video. My husband and I just planned to watch a little bit at a time, but ended up watching the entire video. Such high quality content and editing. And I do appreciate the honest reactions to things you experience. Love the long form videos you guys are doing. But darn it, you kept me up way past my bedtime!
😂😅😊
Hue was the final stop in my itinerary of Vietnam and was by far my favorite. It was raining when I went but still enjoyed it so much. Food was really good and loved the vibes and atmosphere of the city.
Bạn có thể đến phía Bắc nơi có núi cao lạnh giá vào ruộng bậc thang tuyệt đẹp sapa,bắc hà,hà Giang
@@phongtran-ih2fy I returned the ff year and did Hanoi to South and stopped at Hoi An. I will return soon and will try Sapa and yes, Ha Giang Loop.
Just loved this one. It was a long show, but it was totally worth watching. It brought back so many memories of trips from years ago. One of the best travelogues for people going to Vietnam I’ve seen. Cheers guys just love this one.
Wow! What an adventure. Your videos are definitely inspiring us to explore more .... You're showing us it's possible with a limited budget.
You guys captured it perfectly….Vietnam is simply THE BEST! 😍 Thanks for such a wonderfully made, happy video. ☺️
I know you don’t like showing the disappointing aspects of travel, such as scams. But I believe it’s a wonderful thing to show as these are real world issues you will encounter while traveling. Of all the travel channels my wife and I watch on TH-cam, yours are our favorite! It’s good to see good people in the world sharing their experiences and their warnings!
God bless and keep you safe!
Your best video to date! Congratulations and Thank You for taking us along on this excellent adventure.
OMG I love this so much!! Well worth the wait. It's so beautiful and sees you all had a magical experience there.
Your videography is on another level. If you have a chance, I recommend you to explore the north west of Vietnam, places like Mu Cang Chai, Hoang Su Phi, Pu Luong, Ha Giang, Sapa, Simacai, Moc Chau, and Phong Nha in the central. They are spectacular. Ha Giang and Sapa that are known to westerners, but the others are not. If you go to these places on the right month, you can see breathtaking views. To me they rank top 10 places in Asia (not exaggerating ).
One of the best travel videos I have seen! I enjoyed everything about it!Very well done!!
I just love watching your videos! Such down to earth couple, just enjoying life and taking us with you! Thank you :)
Thank you, Lisa and Josh. What amazing show. As I. Am a Vietnamese and I thank two of you for showing the best of VN.
great travel blog. one of the best i have seen. looking forward to seeing what the two are going next.
Loved all of this. Revisiting our last visit in 2010. Must get back!! Our response to the somber war memorials and museums is to continually be in awe of the warmth and graciousness of the Vietnamese people. Oh I miss it!
I am So impressed. I just found you a few days ago and can’t stop watching. Great work. ❤
just found your channel and watching this video on a cozy Saturday, dreaming of Vietnam! loving this so far. 10/10 for the Big Lebowski reference; we quote that in my house all the time :) all the best to you both! will definitely be watching more of your channel.
Really enjoyed this journaled journey. Was able to unwind after a hectic workday.
Wow, just WOW!! This was such a joy to watch. Your passion for understanding the soul of a place & its people came through in such a profound way with this one. This was so inspiring!
Thank you for sharing this. I almost teared up watching the vast untouched island scapes and caves with all the natural beauty of Ninh Binh. Thank you for bringing me and my family along this wonderful adventure. As a typical American family where budget living is a necessity , you guys have given us inspiration and the realization that we can one go on a bucket list trip like this. Thank you for all you have done on your channel. It truly means the world to a family like us.
Wow!! What a trip!! I loved spending two hours with you all!! Thank you.
I watched this all in one sitting. I have been back many times with family, but there are always places to see. Thank you for the amazing video!
I've wanted to do Vietnam for a while. Thankyou for this brilliant video, Lisa & Josh style.
Thanks! Awesome video. I did have to chuck at "this is coming out before Christmas":) I miss watching you more often, but this movie was great. So happy you made this long video.
Great video guys ! And yes, watched the whole thing ! You guys are easy to watch, very informative and entertaining
Epic project. I love Vietnam and it was so great to see you guys do it right. I am sure you will make it back again, it is like an endless buffet of awesome
Lisa & josh your photography & commentary is beautiful.
Craft beer looked yummy !! Such a fun vid!
Loved this video. I wasn't sure I wanted to visit Vietnam but now I can't wait to go. The night on the boat looked magical. Add it to my wishlist.❤
You guys are awesome. You make me want to return to Vietnam. Love the long video’s. Keep it up .
thank you sooooo much for this amazing video and coverage of Vietnam ... to be honest vietnam was not on my list of travel because as a solo female traveler i feel it might be hard to travel there .... but seeing this video made feel much at ease (that doesn't mean I wont have my guard up ... I am always careful ) but this video made me think of it more .
on another note your way of 100$ budget Ive used it in my last 3 trips and it has been amazing! its duable and to me made more travel exciting and I now can travel more by researching a more affordable way of travel. thank you from the bottom of my heart . You have really set a good way to budget. seeing lots of love to both of you from Jeddah Saudi Arabia !
Amazing cinematic video and such articulate narrative from Josh and the kindness of Lisa! Bravo! Love Vietnam!❤❤❤
WOW this one was incredible. Not sure if you remember me but I asked you a while back on IG/YT about depression when you return from a year long trip. Well my partner and I are returning to the states from our midlife gap year in 12 days. We are now in Malta and will fly to Southampton then transatlantic back. One coping skill you taught us was to plan for future travel and we had been discussing Vietnam and this 2 hour clip we never paused has sealed the deal. We are very excited and might come back for questions if you don’t mind :)
🫶🏼 the video - broad coverage, authentic experiences and high quality shots - better than a TV travel show. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yay! Great video!! Loved this adventure you shared with us.
I love watching your blogs! I can tell you both are such genuine and kind people
THIS WAS SO GOOD 🎉 great editing guys! The cruise looked incredible - so much delish food, drooling over here and definitely went to have Vietnamese food today after watching this last night 😂
Ah, memories of crossing the street in a tsunami of traffic and hoping to survive. Absolutely love your videos! Happy travels ❤
This video is legit!! If it says anything, it's the very 1st time I ever comment a TH-cam vid & I watched hundreds to prepare trips ;-) Love how honest & genuine you both are, and your itinerary is dope!! Going to Vietnam for the 1st time in a few days & your input really helped!! thanks!!
Thanks for taking us with you on this amazing trip! Love it!
So happy to see this channel getting the visibility that it deserves! You guys have always created great content, but it seems this past year the stars have aligned. I hope the growth of this channel continues to blossom for years to come!
amazing storytelling, editing, voiceovers and videography in this video. I love every single video you’ve ever uploaded but this one takes the cake!! amazing work.
I look forward to every day i see new content on your platforms, you’re my favourite travel content creators, both for the quality and who you both are as people.
You are both truly special humans and i feel blessed to come along for the ride through youtube and the podcast. I hope you keep going this for a very very long time!
Could see you having a spot on TV in this exact quality and you’d fit right in!! somehow unique in the flood of travel content around these days!
I was hooked on this 2 hr movie! Thank you for taking us along your VN adventure! I loved every min of it!
This was like a movie that after I got done watching, wanted to hit restart! Loved the content, narration, and editing. You two are great. Hi from Wisconsin 🍺!
😊 In my case I don't restart
but I do replay parts I'm more interested 😄
Thank you for this wonderful and informative travel adventure :)) Enjoyed watching it Josh and Lisa^^
I really enjoy this video and I was thinking about how you are so brave in crossing the street there!! I won’t be able to do it!! Bravo 👏 to you and Josh!! Thank you very much for sharing your beautiful trip with us ❤
thanks so much for your video. I am travelling to Vietnam next month and have around the same budget. this video has been indispensible for travel advice. And your love for each other is so beautiful, I'm super excited to travel Vietnam with my boyfriend.
Lovely presentation. Thank you. I appreciate your openmindedness and generosity you extend to the locals. I 've been to Hanoi a couple times. YOur trip brings back memories. Vietname is changing by the minute except crossing the road is still very tricky.
Great video. My wife and I are off to Vietnam later this year so this was not only entertaining but very helpful as well.
This sounds like such an exciting and spontaneous adventure! Vietnam has a magical way of captivating travelers. Can't wait to see your journey unfold from Hanoi to Saigon on a budget - it's going to be epic! Safe travels and enjoy every moment! 🇻🇳✈
I think you guys are the most complete vloggers when it comes to your adventures in any country. Loved the video. I hope more people find your lovely channel. Keep going!
You guys are so chill. Enjoyed the VN. Series. Josh sorry you got sick.
Love this long videos ❤ thanks guys, it’s like I’m traveling with you!
I am Vietnamese living in the US. I am planning to visit Vietnam the end of this year and your video showed up on my youtube. I could not stop watching your journey. I love your style of this video, so natural and beautiful ! Looking forward to more great videos like this one ❤
Yes, love the long trips/videos as ~2 weeks vacation is the max most people can take, especially from the USA. Keep them coming!👍
I love all of your videos! But this one is simply the best 😍 I enjoyed every minute of it and I wish it had been 1h longer 😅
absolutely enjoyed watching both of you guys in this entire video of adventures. excellent content. great work on the video edits.
Gosh must major in journalism or has writing background. Love all your commentaries! And Lisa’s sweet and light hearted temperament makes any vacation a breeze. Love the pair of you. Glad I found your channel.
This is the first video I've watched from you guys and just wanted to say you both are great to watch. It's apparent how intelligent, knowledgable and relaxed you two are. Your personalities are so great and you work together so well!
This is one of a few L&J videos TH-cam keeps putting on for us, like maybe 20 times now, and honestly, the videos are so well made we just let ‘em play through. Strong work!
Love your trip! Just discovered your channel and love it!
Vietnam looks amazing from your trip! Your destinations are excellent selections! I was thinking of visiting Cambodia next year and now will have to add Vietnam 🇻🇳 to the list!
Thank you for sharing your vacation w/ us! 😊 🙏
this is the first video of my entire life which is lengthy and i watched it whole, enjoyed every bit of it, it helps me alot to plan a trip to vietnam..thanks alot for making such a great content..cheers
I love how you both keep it honest with the ups and downs, your videos are about the real experience; not just what one long perfect selfie. 'forced optimism' is a great way to put it
Ahhh what a treat!!! A 2hr vid, saving for after work
What an absolutely amazing! Vietnam video I’ve ever watched I’m convinced that I need to visit there. 😍🔥🔥🔥🔥 I also enjoyed the fact that everything was so cheap thank you so much for sharing y’all experience
Such a great video - so many amazing experiences! Thanks for sharing your adventures ❤
I watched the whole video! Wow such a wonderful time. Thanks, Lisa and John for sharing your travel in VietNam! I enjoyed it so much!
Travel requires the development of certain attitudes, wisdom, and life skills. This video was a joy to watch and a great travel primer, Lisa and Josh.
This was an excellent video about Vietnam trip. Lisa and Josh did an excellent job on this Vietnam trip.
In addition to providing complete useful details , this is was a Wonderful vlog, the best part is that you showing everything.. I love when you show Lisa dropped the food, I love when you let us know that you got sick.. It felt an authentic experience that I can enjoy, not a fake social media post that shows only perfection.. thank you so much for you guys. I hope you have a wonderful life together ❤
You guys are such an inspiration, we have started our own journey and will be travelling and have started uploading long form content of our travels 😊

Nice video! The production value of the video is really really good.
What a fantastic travel video. I followed you guys onto the Camino, guess I’m following you to Vietnam now!! Thank you for putting this together, it must have been a ton of work editing.
