I’m strongly considering moving there for a short period to get a break from the western world. In that case i would feel very safe doing it with all the information you put out. I was there for 3 weeks in february and loved it, north to south. Your content is amazing brother, i’m deeply inspired! Keep it up!
Another great informative video, Travis. I can see the mid-west chill vibe in your presentation. Problem is the secret about Da Nang is getting out. By the time I get a chance to visit I'm afraid it'll be crawling with westerners.
A caution on motorbikes, depending on where it's manufactured whether they drive on the left side or the right side will determine which handbreak is for the front and which ones for the back and if you're going fast you do not want to slam on the front brake or you will be making love to the Pavement.
I’m glad you just did this video. I was gonna bring enough clothes for five days. You’ve changed my mind. I only bring clothes for about three days and buy what I need over there. Thank you. Look forward to meeting you.
Great video Travis! Great effort as well! I'll create a small review of 3 hotels I've stayed in Da Nang on my channel soon before I forget about them for anyone who wants to stay here for a few days. You actually went to the airport for that small segment💪💪
Nice video man. Been to Viet around 6 times because my wife is from there, so spent some time as a 'large' 6'4 New Zealander. If you are a big guy or gal, bring enough clothes cause nothing there will fit you. Also avoid those small children plastic chairs most little side street restaurants have - they make a big fuss when you fall on the ground - else stack 2 or 3 together if you can't avoid them. Else find a place with sturdy chairs, there are loads in the city. Also plan your day around places that you know will have aircon (cafes, modern malls, etc), just for some respite from the humidity. Lastly if your staying a while and there are medications you might run out of, check before you leave what alternatives could be picked up from a Viet chemist - many don't need a prescription but the brands/names will be different - i.e. blood pressure meds.
Thank you Travis for your time. I'm just kicking back here at the Galaxy a little under the weather. Also 16 new dedicated indoor pickleball courts just opened up about 3 km away 🙂
I rented a scooter in Hanoi and while following the flow of traffic, ended up driving down the sidewalk with a couple hundred other bikes. It’s insane. 😂
I've heard the same thing with phones you buy from companies like Verizon AT&t and T-Mobile they won't work, you need unlocked independently bought phone basically ,,,I've heard on vlogs before for other countries
What’s the best tropical beach area for Vietnam? I like hot weather and clear blue white sandy tropical beaches . Would this be Gulf of Thailand or China sea side of Vietnam?
When you apply for the Evisa 30 tourist entry , the instructions say to list address for stay . If planning to visit a few places , how are you supposed to select hotels and pay for them before for the Evisa application ? Makes no sense . Is this what I need to do ?
If your phone is not e-sim compatible and you don't want to buy a new phone, then should you buy a SIM card in the city after you arrive? What are people's favorite local network providers? I will probably be in central and/or South Vietnam. I heard that the Mobiphon app can be read in English (eg. to see how much data you are using) whereas other ones are in Vietnamese only?
Motorcycles are far too many in everywhere in Asia. The locals ride them and in addition, the international tourists do. Air pollution, traffic jam and danger is not a joke anymore. Worse than ever, the tourists loom around with bicycles. They can walk, please.
No Vietnamese inside the country will not know what American football is. If u ask them about football they may think you're talking about soccer because outside of North America almost everyone refers to soccer as football. In terms of viewing it. Nowadays you may be able to get worldwide channels at a hotel. I haven't been back for awhile and things may have become more advanced since then.

Excellent video. Thank you.

Packing too much for du lịch việt nam. Haha...spot on. Indeed great advice for first time travelers.
Thanks Trav!
Great video well informed!
Cheers glad you enjoyed it

Funfact, the airport sim is still cheaper than the Esim. Even if the sim expires in a few days….
Yep defo cheaper. Regretted getting an esim after I left the airport last time I went.
I just arrange a driver to bring me to my hotel (WiFi). The next morning, I buy cheap sim.

I'm coming in a few days man just got my visa yesterday!
Going to Honduras next week. Going to check out the Airalo eSim.
Good video bro, did u get an editor? Also the audio is consistent and at the right levels kudos

Love your style
Hey man you forgot to put a link to that backpack in your description - just a heads up!
Thank you legend, i'll see you in April brother, so excited ps i messaged you 😊
Re the e-sim thing, not all phones are compatible with e-sims so make sure to check compatibility before ordering one.
I've heard the same thing with phones you buy from companies like Verizon AT&t and T-Mobile they won't work, you need unlocked independently bought phone basically ,,,I've heard on vlogs before for other countries
Is it smart to buy electronics (phone; laptop) in Vietnam?
Great info, I am in da nang at the end of Feb for 4 weeks, am I better booking hotels before I go or just book when I get there, thanks
Bring that beard back mate!
tiếng việt của bạn tốt quá. bạn đã ở việt nam bao lâu r
Travis, a traveller to Danang said it was nice but the air is very polluted. Is this true. I will be in Danang next month and feel anxious about this.
Niceee video
nice

The Vietnamese island paradise of Phu Quoc, Travis probably hasn't been there...

I put in the address of a random hotel without booking it. My eVisa was approved after 3 days.

Viettel is the best
@@theoldgringo7482 Thanks, that is what I have heard before.

You try walking when it is 90F and the humidity 95% the locals aren't stupid
Thanks , will you watch championship football this weekend?do Vietnamese people watch the Superbowl? Im guessing no
