I have a suggestion, most travelers would not really care about watching too much of the bloggers face...your blog is okay but there are a lot more informative blogs with better video editing..If you want to get more subscribers in your channel..give some useful information besides scams...I am a solo traveler myself and before I travel, I watch and read a lot....to be perfectly honest, the competition in blogging now is very tough...a lot of good looking ones too...take it as a challenge ..there was too much SELFIE here and not much info...A FAR CRY from really good travel blogs...

I was in Hanoi last year and I loved it so much, I went back to Vietnam 3 months later, this time to Da Nang. On both trips I've never experienced pushy touts or been a victim of crime (thank God). It's best to go with an open mind and understand that there are definitely gonna be less than pleasant people around and not just in Vietnam - it's everywhere in the world. And maybe it's also because I'm a dude and I was mostly with another male friend. But don't let that stop you from visiting Vietnam - it's a very underrated place and has a lot to offer.

As a Hanoian, im feel so sorry for you and other people in the comment with their bad experiences. In normal life, we dont tip at all just in touristy things and they do try to scam the foreigners more (but I experienced the same thing in Philippines, so...). And for robbery, again it happen more with foreigner, I never see or be in that situations. I hope we can do st to fix this soon. Next time definitely contact a local (couchsurfing is a good one). We're more than willing to support you guys.

After my bad experience in HCM, I don't think I would ever want to visit Vietnam again and I won't recommend Vietnam for single woman travellers and you should always be accompanied by a male companion la coz in my opinion, it's quite dangerous. My sis's handphone got snatched while we were trying to look for directions and the hotel staff told us five tourist's cameras were snatched while we were just walking on the streets. I think Bangkok is a better choice for single female travellers tbh. Me and my girlfriends were walking till 12am at Bangkok and we were using our handphone for directions half of the time and we still felt super safe

Vietnam's one of the best places to head to for solo female travelers. Thoroughly enjoyed my solo trip there :)

Hi, what is the best way going from Noi Bai International Airport to the city specifically the old quarters where my hotel is located? My arrival at the airport will be around 730AM.

Hi Pinoys, Filipino here I have question. Why is Vietnam food cost is in thousands? Though the currency exchange to Philippines is low. I wonder why it is in Thousandths in Vietnam. Thanks

This brings back so many great memories. I got engaged in Vietnam on a trip to Halong Bay. What a beautiful area!

There are times when traveling alone is so much fun. Been in Hanoi 3 weeks ago and it's an amazing place.

[@sarahedits4666]

when I was at Hanoi last year, my tour guide gave my family and I a long talk about what to do when people snatch us. cos apparently the crazy ppl their kidnap women. I WAS SO SCARED WHEN CHERYL SAID SHE'S GOING ALONE. I'M SO GLAD THAT SHE'S SAFE!

[@jennyskyisthelimit76]

Love it, Cheryl! definitely, it was a great experiential trip! :)

[@tessieadreamer3109]

A very detailed instruction video for people who first came to Hanoi. Useful one, thanks!

[@jafasibal1538]

Thanks for sharing! I’ll also be solo travelling to Hanoi, so these tips will definitely be helpful during my visit.

[@stefepedia]
