- I spent 6 months in 2022 backpacking South East Asia solo, and it was the most incredible time of my life!
I met an insane amount of people, tried things I never thought I would and witnessed some of the most beautiful landscapes; It was a dream!
Watch the video to get an idea of what the world of South East Asia is like as I take you through my 6-month experience!

Yay! You’re going to have a blast! You’re most welcome. Loads more fun travel vlogs incoming :)
So much to see and do. Phuket and Phi Phi were great when we visited. Love the village life you have shared here too. Beautiful spots Ashlee
Cheers!
Debauchery, amazing beaches and the best sunsets. South East Asia is my happy place
A pretty great place!!
The editing of this is sooooo wonderful to watch 🥹 and a helpful guide also! thank you for sharing ❤
Thankyou so much!! Glad you also found it helpful :)
Was planning to go to SEA for my first international trip. Was kinda afraid. But this particular motivated me to book my ticket now.
Yay! Stoked for you. SEA is an awesome place for a first international trip. The people in this region are incredibly friendly and are always willing to help. Don’t forget to make use of Google Translate and download the languages of each country to have them at all times! Super helpful for finding your way around :) Safe travels!
loved the video, it was so peaceful ! thank you
So glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching :)
An awesome video that's really well put together, I really loved the intro and b-roll, and it looked like such a great trip! Excited to see what's next on the channel :)
Cheers Justin!!
This was perfect thank you ! I’ll be heading to SE Asia backpacking this year
Most welcome, I hope you have the best time! Safe travels :)
Ashlee you know how to atract viewers 😊
Thanks so much!
Loved the intro- but the full video is really well put together, very nice to watch :) How scenic is Vietnam 😍 and Pai is just the perfect place! Laos looked amazing, never got chance to go this time around. :(
Hot air balloon in Vang Vieng is such a bucket list tick!
Since you have made some great videos, i was wondering if you also like watching travel content. If you do, we would really appreciate some feed back on any of our videos to help us improve the quality of them. We would really appreciate it if you could find time to do this.
Absolutely no problem if you don't, thanks for taking the time to read my comment :)
Thankyou so much!!! Glad you enjoyed.
Would love to check out your channel :) cheers for the support!
You should share more as I loved this video. What did you use to edit this video / how did you get the film like lens?
Thankyou so much! There’ll be plenty more like this incoming :) I plan to travel Europe next year, so be sure to stick around for that!!
I use Da Vinci Resolve for editing. The film edits are free ones I found online :)
Video is beautiful
Thankyou kindly!
Did you have a rental car when you first got to Vietnam? Or any other of your stays? How did you get around for the most part?
Never used rental cars, only rental scooters / mopeds. Theyre very cheap to hire in Asia. Anywhere from $3-$8 AUD for a day, and petrol is cheap as its a small vehicle! I love the freedom of scooters. In terms of travelling from town to town, i would use buses / trains :)
@@AshleeMorgandid you need like an international license?? Or one specific for each place?
@@MCcrizz An international license is definitely a good idea, but I didn’t have one at the time of this trip. However, if you are pulled over by police and asked to show license, you may get into trouble!
Hi not sure if it’s too late for questions but I’m just wondering how you find all of the activities, for example where to get your scuba diving license, hot air balloon, and the two day hike you did in this video. I’ll be going in October and am not sure where to look for these activities.
Never too late for questions!
I didn’t do any research prior to leaving, I heard it all from word of mouth. When you get to hostels, people obviously chat about everything theyve been up to, and then that will give you loads of ideas of things to do! Before going on this trip, I had no idea that id become a scuba diver or cruise in a hot air balloon. Sometimes the unknown is bliss!!!
You can find these activities at hostels, simply ask what are some things to do in the area and theyll tell you the best things to do :)
Safe travels!
Can you let us know your full itinerary and the cost?
Hiya! I didn’t follow an itinerary as such, I just went with what felt right / where people told me I should check out :) However, this is the order of places I went! It was a total of 6 months.
In terms of cost, I believe it was about $12,000 AUD.

Thats so kind of you!!! Its honestly an incredible place to travel, I couldn’t recommend it enough!!!! I started in Vietnam, and then went to Thailand, Laos, and Indonesia :)
Yep! Apply for the Vietnam visa well before entering the country! X
Happy travels :)
@@AshleeMorgan did you ever get asked for proof of onward travel at any point? X
Yes!! This happened a couple of times. You can get ‘dummy flight tickets’ online if you’re unsure of when u plan to leave the country. Im not exactly sure of the legalities of this in each country though, so just beware!
how did you make money while traveling? did you save a ton beforehand?
I didn’t make any money during travel. However, I’d been saving for about 4 years for a trip like this :)
Such a nice Video! Do you have the exact name of the tour you did??? :) the one in the national park
Thankyou kindly! I do, its the 2 day trek with kayaking along the Nam Ha River in Luang Namtha. The company I went with is called Discovering Laos. :)
