ABOUT US:
We’re traveling full time, living on our own terms and showing you the up-close-and-personal details of us figuring it out along the way. Sometimes it’s about navigating big, life-altering decisions. Sometimes it’s about navigating the seemingly lawless free-for-all that is driving in Hanoi. It’s moments of triumph and moments of panic. The good, the bad, the ugly - and most importantly, the real and real funny.
We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.” Just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem. We believe the world’s a more interesting place when people reject convention in favor of what they actually care about. This is us putting that idea to the test - one budget spreadsheet, RV renovation and mountain-peak drone video at a time.

Hi Tim and fin
I’m james from Florida I’m vietnamese and me n my wife goes back to Vietnam every year if u ever thinking of going back to Vietnam for vacation keep In touch maybe we can have a group
You guys are hilarious! Laughing like crazy :p Love it. You inspired me to go to northern Vietnam. Thanks a million!
This was the most classic if all your vedios
how much was this trip for two ? great channel
Even though I am a Vietnamese, I have never been to the North West of Vietnam. The reason that I watch the video, is to learn English and of course my curiosity. But by watching the scenery, I am shocked because of how beautiful my country is. The landscape is stunning. I love your narrative telling. Thanks. Maybe I should consider a trip to Ha Giang.
Love your country, I'd love to visit it sometime.
Hey you two, I just want to say thank you for your hard work and artistry in documenting the Hai Giang loop. I rode it solo Nov. 19-21st 2019. You captured my experience and I'm so grateful to be able to share it with friends and family through your beautiful video. Good job!
Thats awesome to hear. We put a lot of effort into this video series because we were happy with how the Saigon to Hanoi version turned out. You weren't there much later than us last year! Is it time to go back yet?
@@timandfin Yes! I was scheduled to go in March but missed it (due to the closures and flight cancellations) by only three days. I hope Qatar Airlines comes through with the voucher/refund lol. I was disappointed, but in hindsight it was probably for the best. I will head that way when they reopen. This time, Da Nang, Hai Giang (again, I hope it's warmer ha!), Dien Ben Phu area, and maybe Mekong. I've made 4 trips in the last two years so far. It's a magical place. How about you two? What's next?
Hello Tim & Fin, I love your videos & I love the wonderful dynamic between you two & I love Vietnam for 10 years now. I am not a Subscriber yet (but should be) but I have been an avid follower of your Vietnam videos for 2 years because I shared similar dreams to you in planning cycling tours from south to north in Vietnam. You are young & adventurous while I am much older Aussie going on 72 but also adventurous in a similar inspired, fun loving way. I became widowed last year after my wife lost her 3 year cancer battle, and then my 2020 reunion cycling tour & family tour of Vietnam that was to have been a dream realized had to be cancelled due to Covid-19. Aussie John determinably decided that I would spend 3 months in Vietnam from March to June that became 9 months after I was stranded there with many months in semi lockdown & isolation in Hue City. I am just back home now after quarantining in Canberra & reflecting on my journey & also enjoying yours in Vietnam. MY STORY this year is truly amazing because of my desire to both cycle & motorbike pillion for the first time to places that you have shared the passion to see as young YouTubing adventurers. After I watched your Ha Giang video I felt very moved as I shared your feelings I think & wanted to connect with you to say THANK YOU. My journeys this year started on the Ho Chi Minh Road with Mr EasyRider Da Lat and took me many thousands of kms from south-central highlands to finish in the stunning mountains of Ha Giang Province plus cycling Son La Province before I got a repat flight home. Congratulations on what you have done & put up for viewers. If I could share some of my personal 2020 story with you I would like that, and how it all came about. But my passion to do it was driven by you two!
This vlog was top notch. I saw your first VN vlog from three years ago, and I must say that you both look more relaxed and really enjoying your trip more this time around, esp. Fin looking less uptight than the first trip. I really appreciate the tips on motorbike selections and gear. I'm so impressed that Fin rode a motorbike herself throughout the trip and also navigated through Hanoi traffic like a local. Once COVID-19 is over and international travel is possible again, I will go to VN. I was born in the South but raised in the U.S., a product of the Vietnamese diaspora after the war. You guys have really opened up my eyes to the beauty of the North, which I know nothing about, so I will definitely spend more time there. Those puppies and kids were so cute. Great job!
By far this has to be one of the best Vlog of N. Vietnam I've ever seen. Love the humor and narrator. Scenery are also awesome. Great videos!
Excellent documentary. Fantastic production and such amazing views of my favorite country on earth. I can't wait to go back.
I cannot begin to imagine the beauty you guys experienced on this trip. Epic. Magical. Magnificent. Breathtaking. I bet none of those words can come remotely close to describing the unique mystical landscapes. I think I would have just felt like a piece of me was at peace with nature while absorbing all that natural beauty and I would just cry. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing journey!
I've never wanted to do a motorbike adventure more than this one! Thank you for opening my eyes and revealing this amazingly scenic route. Maybe someday, if only I can teach the wife how to ride.
me and so many of my Vietnamese friends have always wanted to ride this road in Ha Giang but we are always so caught up with our lives :( so happy and fascinated watching you guys just riding through Vietnam on motorbike. Love from Vietnam
Thank you for visiting my country and recommending it to everyone around the world ❤️
I've now watched this twice and have loved watching it as we are planning our Vietnam trip for 2022 (fingers crossed). Not only did I enjoy the magnificent scenery but also your honest commentary especially Fin's woman's perspective. We are a 55year old couple who love adventure and can not wait to do this similar trip together next year. Also love all the advice on safety gear! Stay safe.
Chúc bạn có 1 chuyến trải nghiệm tuyệt vời tại Việt Nam. Hi
You should check out the latest videos from "Sammy and Tammy". They've done an outstanding job so far even though they didn't actually do the Ha Giang Loop. :) Also check out Max McFarlin and Chris Lewis's channel on things Vietnamese.
I live in Hanoi and ride a motorbike and I have to say mad props to Fin for her riding skill and courage without a lot of prior experience. Navigating those crazy roads up north and often insane Hanoi traffic (especially those Old Quarter streets) is no joke. So impressed! Watched it all the way through and loved seeing the country I live in through your eyes.
Thank you!!
This is beautifully-made and by far the best North Vietnam travel vlog I've seen! How I wish we could pack our bags and go at this moment!
Thank you for visiting Vietnam. Very interesting and fun videos. I hope that the experiences of Sapa, Bac Ha, Ha Giang and Cao Bang will be unforgettable memories for you. Vietnam is so beautiful through your lenses. See you in our country.
Red River Delta so ugly, dont boast
Họ có đo tốc độ mạng hả bác
I'm completely re-planning my trip because of this video :) Was going to ride Hanoi to Danang, but this looks way more fun!
as a vn living in the US and rode this loop and saw two casualties on the road, I really appreciate your safety and prep advice for people who want to do this trip, especially foreigners coming into vn. Be prepared so that you could have a safe time on the road. Getting into accidents are not fun.
I'm speechless, you guys video is amazing. Thank you for filming and editing this for us!!!
That was great. I'm sold on this and Now planing to do my own bike trip to Norther Vietnam, great job guys. Fin that commentary will stay with me for months till I get there and do it myself "coming up to another motorbike cluster" "OMG. Here we go"
haha you'll feel the same way too! :) :) Enjoy your trip!!
FYI. There is a simple traffic rule in Vietnam, that is "you can go anyway you want but do not hit others". In another word, there is no right of way, if you hit someone, it was your fault. Theoretically speaking, since everyone would try to avoid hitting others, there would be no accident. Hope this help those who want to drive in Vietnam.
Brings me soooo many amazing memories since we were lucky to do the Ha Giang loop back in 2016/2017 😊 I would say that it was the best experience in my life!
people come to this country one and never come back again, everythings look good on picture , behind that everythings worse.terible and dangerous
@@NamNguyen-md7ks you dont know anything, just stfu
@@NamNguyen-md7ks obviously you know nothing about what you say....many of my brothers/sisters across America, Canada, and other countries came over there to help your country and fellow countrymen to fight communism and NEVER CAME BACK!! While Vietnam may still be suffering in some ways it is far better now than it was after we left....and many travelers have been back more than once....if you don't like what you see then do something to help Vietnam instead of running your mouth here on TH-cam!! Do something constructive for your country and for yourself.
@@NamNguyen-md7ks 3///, hãy cảm thấy nhục nhã khi 1 người Mỹ - Miguel Valentin đã comment trả lời mình như vậy... Đúng là đáng khinh bỉ nhưng cũng đáng thương cho một lũ 3/// vong nô, vô tổ quốc, ngồi cạo nail kiếm cơm nơi xứ người với 1 trái tim mang đầy thù hận.
Hoài Vũ Ngô all I want to say is : thank you for setting him straight! Sorry I couldn’t write in Vietnamese. But I still can speak (slowly) and can still understand ☺️
You guys AND North Vietnam are terrific!!! Given COVID and my age - 82 and counting to triple digits - y'all are great companions to places I've never been much less thought of going. Keep keepin' on and keep on supporting each other - Grazie an' 'at
Hi bawb I hope ur doing good
@@arellavant TERRIFIC, hope youre good too
Being Vietnamese I was 2 years old when I started living in the USA no place has captivated me like Vietnam and not because I'm from there. I have explored the bottom half of Vietnam and loved it. But the upper half looks amazing hopefully one day my wife and i can do a trip similar to the one you guys did. Thanks great video fin n tim we need more.
You better learn how to ride a motorcycle while you're in the US preferably a dirt bike you're going to need the experience.
When I was in the US Navy ('78-'82) we cruised off the coast of Vietnam in '80 on our way to Bangkok, Thailand and rescued 2 boats of refugees with babies aboard. We had a total of 77 refugees with us when we arrived in Bangkok and the American Red Cross came and picked them up. Both the refugees and us all cried when we had to say good-bye because we had become such good friends. Through our Facebook page one of the babies, now grown, found and remembered us. This was back in 2012 or so and she was studying to be a doctor. She told us that she had been adopted by a couple in California and was living there now. Once again we all cried like little babies hearing that but so happy that we were able to have contact with one of them again!!
Don't worry Vu Le I been riding motorcycle all my life and haved lived in Vietnam for 6 months before riding mopeds all almost everyday in those 6 months.
Miguel Valentin you all what I call a remarkable person . You gave up your period life in order to help others through lifes tragedy. Going through life you see the good in life and the bad. What you did for those people is more than you can imagine and I'm hopefully sure they are greatly thankful for what you have done. The world need more people like you. May your life be blessed forever more.
Just watched the northern Vietnam trip. I was in the south 1970-71. I found this vlog enlightening. I will watch more of your channel. Excellent job❗️The trip through Hanoi was exciting especially with Fin’s stream of consciousness commentary. She must be extremely verbal and speaks as soon as thoughts are generated😍🙈 She did a great job driving and talking.
Fin is so brave. Learning to ride in all those different road conditions. Prop to her :)
I think the best time to go to ha giang is March. There will be a lot of flowers, especially "hoa gạo". The red color is really outstanding in the whole greenish background.
I love VietNam so much. Want to make a trip like that
The video is excellent , your chemistry is marvelous, your smiling face is tremendous. Hats off, take a bow
Always a good insight into the reality of any given destination. You guys are waaaay more entertaining than lonely planet guides. Keep up these awesome videos guys. It's really like being there with you. Truly wish I had been one of those Aussie riders who had caught up with you over there. Meanwhile back in Western Oz, I'll sit in the dry heat of an Australian Summer and watch you guys livin life to the full. AWESOME.
Heard a lot about these places when learning vn history in high school years in the south of vn but could not imagine how pretty they are. Your video actually shows the entire area from top which is just sutunningly beautiful. Thanks for the videos which are so refreshing and educational.
I can't believe it, I am living in Vietnam for 19 years but I am so afraid to travel like you guys, man love both of you ❤ ♥ 💙
Holy Smoke, been a YT addict for years with way too many subs.....
Then only tonight I find you guys and your amazing balance, energy, cinematography music, editing, flow, and dam awesome content.....
Just had 4 of the best hours of my life watching 2 of your travel videos...
Made my night.
Thank You
The BEST spent 2 hours hands down! Thank you for been brave and real.
I don't usually comment but WOW. Possibly the best travel vlog I've seen. Stunning locations, just the right amount of info and relatable down to earth travellers. Inspiring, thanks. Well done.
I miss my country very much. Thank you for coming to Việt Nam, and we love your videos.
After so many years, rewatching many of your video still bring joys and fun. Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
1:53:00 - in the off chance you see this, Fin, and I know it’s been a year since, and I haven’t seen any more of your content yet, but really appreciate Your honesty of the experience, how YOU felt, and how most of us might feel. Really appreciated hearing the stress of your thoughts on the last leg, thanks for sharing!
Wonderful edit, looking forward to checking out more content. Inspired and looking forward to my world-traveling adventure in the next few years ☺️🙌
Thanks James, I love that scene too! 🥰
Tim is a badass driver, how could you filming while driving.
Fin could drive a bike easily like a local girl.
You 2 are incredible !
Thanks soooo much for bring us along. I know that there is no way I have the courage to ride like you guys. I am planning to DRIVE on the journey you took. You guys are very blessed to have each other, you are soul mates, love and keep each other safe. Cheers.
Put it all into one 10 hour video and i would still watch it.. more than once!
I have been to Vietnam more than i can count and there are still so many areas i have yet to visit!
Driving in Vietnam is like playing a video game. Fin did an amazing job, an average female cannot endure this kind of trip!!!! You should be proud.
😄😄😄
I know this was 3 years ago and you guys may not comment on it………. But my wife (whom is Vietnamese herself) and I just want to say how much we enjoyed this video. Like another viewer said; that is Vietnamese, she grew up in Hue and lived in Danang and Hue until she was about 36 and never made it up to the area you guys traveled in this video. You guys have me so excited to go to Vietnam now; my wife enjoys Hawaii, so that is our usual trip destination. Thanks again for doing this video and now we want to watch your other videos. We were surprised once we realized how long we had sat and watched this video, very relatable, honest and real. Keep up your travels. Blessings
Thanks for the nice comment ❤️❤️🇻🇳🇻🇳
That last part was so funny! I watched a lot of videos of foreigners riding bike in the city before but yours was hilarious. Made me laugh out loud. Especially it ended with the lady burning fake money too. I just lost it lmao
Such an amazing trip. Thanks for taking me back for a while guys. Stay save.
Beautiful! These two are funny, I smile, keeping watching them, all the time. Happy, happy for them
As a Vietnamese, I have to admire your motorbike riding skill. Riding through extremely dangerous roads in Ha Giang and chaotic traffic in Hanoi requires both skill and courage.
Finn you are an excellent bike rider, glad you are getting more confident. By the way those are the best looking bike pants I have seen in years. Love riding with you on the bike.
"And that's pretty". Smart man. What incredible country. SO beautiful. Awesome drone video, Tim. "Hauntingly beautiful"? "Mystically beautiful"? Allison is all that.
Great video guys! Definitly a good insight for us on our next years travel excursion. Thanks!
We have a small advantage; my wife is from Vietnam. 😀 When we were planning our first scooter trip, her family thought we were crazy. Now they know that anything is possible in Vietnam. We've taken the same journeys as you, and watching your videos, we often recognized the exact places you visited because we stopped there too. Everything you say is right... and we wouldn't want to miss a single day, even in the rain. Vietnam is incredibly beautiful, so we're planning to travel there for 4 months in a month's time... of course, on the same motorcycle as you - we also have a Honda Winner - and heading back to the North. Thank you for your kind and loving report. Best regards from my wife.
4 months?! I'm spending a month there in April and your plans make me want to extend mine. Hehe. Have a fantastic trip!
@@all4fitz I am paying this dream with my age 🤣 I am 70 and retired last May. I wish you all the best for your trip! We did these and other tours and Vietnam is for me a fantastic country, even 4 months aren’t enough.
@@martmexpue Congratulations! You're retired and planning make the best of it. it seems you are waaaay more adventurous than 70 year olds that I know. And that's even more true if you're saying you'll be doing a motorbike trip. I'm 54 in the US and planning to retire in a couple of years.
You're right. 4 months is not enough. That's why I plan to slow travel without stopping for some time.
Thank you and likewise I wish you an incredible and safe retirement!
@@all4fitz … thank you very much for your kind reply… as an inspiration for your retirement, Europe is beautiful too. This year we made our dream come true, we took our bicycles and in 6 months we made 8.000 km... Germany, Switzerland, France, England, Irland and finally Scotland - Shetland Islands... then back via the Netherlands. Think about it. 😀 If you need information, please let me know.
@@martmexpue HOOOOOWHAAATT? When I read that, it froze me. You are the inspiration. I have ridden my road bike many miles over the years and have done many bike tours years ago. But you are doing at 70 (or maybe you were 69 at the time) what many people half your age can't do (I think possibly due to soda, pizza and lethargy...heh). Several countries and 4,971 miles (I had to convert it to understand how incredible it is)?!
You are making the absolute best of retirement. So many people retire and then don't know what to do.
I went to Ireland and Amsterdam in 2017. I suppose you were right at home in the Netherlands with all the bikes there.
Thank you for the offer for info. My problem is that although I've gotten myself into a very comfortable financial position, I'm still chronically frugal. As a result, it's exciting to me to limit my slow travel to low-cost parts of the world. Hence, SE Asia....and especially Vietnam. A simple sandwich at a brewery in Southwest Michigan is $19! A beer....$7. I'm ready for the opposite way of living.
Since your wife is from Vietnam, you probably will be, or have been, pedaling around there too.
I've never heard of Shetland Islands and had to look them up. I know it was a beautiful trip.
This is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful trip. Watching this feels like being there with you all the way. Please keep up!
Great stuff guys!!, had me grinning the whole time.....Fin, I watched you become one with your bike... conquering the technical patches and the 20 wheel trucks with confidence...the only time I puckered was your weaving narrative through the synchronized chaos of Hanoi. You Rock!
Tim, I feel you brother... Your comment about grinning during the wet ride to the waterfall rings home with me..I love 'it' as well! At age 71 I'm plotting my 3rd trip back into mountains of northern Vietnam......Bravo you two..all the best!
Still one of the best skills I’ve ever learned!!
Very very beautiful Vietnam love it so much, it was so damn amazing❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ From🇵🇭.
Tim and Finn, thank you so much for this video! I just watched the entire video! I’ve always wanted to tour Vietnam on a motorbike. You guys did a fantastic job documenting your trip! Keep up the great work ! Thank you !!! Le
You two adventurers are my absolute favorite. Your footage is stunning and your delivery is REAL. Thank you for sharing your most incredible journeys. Safe travels to you both ♥️
Great couple, if they got through this adventure and didnt break up. It means they trust, understand, support each other. I'm sure there were many decisions to make along the journey. All the obstacles, uncertainty, issues to overcome, made them grow even stronger together.
Hi guys, thanks again! This is incredible!
This trip reminded me our trip to Taiwan! That misty weather, wonderful mountains...If you have never been to Taiwan (forgive me if I overlooked your video) highly highly recommend it!! you’re gonna like that place! The best country we’ve ever been so far! The food, the nature, people... everything was amazing there! We’d moved there if not a weird political situation with China...😒
I know Fin says that she is ready to be done with most trips, but I keep hearing her seem to want a day here and there to just kick back and take a day off. With the rooms being so reasonable on this trip, it seems that for less than $100-$200, 3-4 days could be added, and the hectic feeling of getting to the next destination could be mostly eliminated. The drive through the city, with Fin wearing the camera was an entertaining, nail biting, experience! The scenery and quiet roads made me drool!
You are great at photography, awesome with a drone and just an excellent editor! Great video!
Hi Tim&Fin, my name is Natalie, my friend just visited Sapa, so I looked up clips about Sapa and found you guys. I was born in VN but moved to US in 1992, now I'm in NJ. Your clips about VN are awesome. It brought me so much emotion about my beautiful home country. I did have a tour from Sai Gon to Ha Noi in 2003. I haven't been to any places north of Ha Noi. Thanks for your clip so I feel like I actually on the road and see those sceneries. I don't think I can physically and mentally do road trip to Sapa, Ha Giang like you guys. Thanks for your love of VN. You guys are so cool, and funny. Your clips are very interesting. VN sceneries are so beautiful but it brought me in tears to see the poors, many bad issues still evolving, pollution, Phu Quoc's beautiful beaches are polluted or Sapa is a chaos with development...so sad...I will look for all your travel clips. Thank you for all your time on the road and your work.
Love you guys. Thank you for sharing our beautiful country to the world.
You guys are amazing. The sceneries are crazy gorgeous.
Thank you so much! You guys make my country more beautiful 🙏!
So nice, thank you!
Props to you girl. So brave and skillfully done! I know I couldn’t do this, way past my limits, but you’re inspiring me to push past my own boundaries.
Awesome travel video blog. I have always dreamed about going back to my home land and seeing the country. You guys are an adventurous couple. Alison, thanks for toughing it out as I would be a total beginner to motor bikes so seeing your perspective is great. Tim, you have a great spirit and make the trip look so exciting. The areas you traveled to were so epic and beautiful. Thanks for videoing your trip for others to experience and see.
I’m 1m 20s into this video and it’s already “sold” me on doing the loop. Amazing. Thank you!
People asking why are you going back ?? Look at the gorgeous landscape friendly people, I mean what else would you want on a vacation ? Great job you guys thanks for sharing with us. Videos like this inspire us all to travel and experience new countries different cultures .
what about Vietnam War?
How beautifull. Love the many different views that really shows the beautiful landscape of the country.
Very informative, great gears, routes and the beautiful videos of north Vietnam !!!!! Loved the all black gears Finny !!!!!
Best series yet! The cinematography is wonderful!
So stoked you enjoyed the series Autumn, thanks for all the nice comments we really appreciate it ☺️
Great videos guys. Really appreciate the tours through your experience. This is certainly on my to do list!
Just wow, what a stunning video ! I'm myself a Vietnamese but I have never been to Ha Giang before, tks for showing those beautiful landscapes, food and people there
wow - what a wonderfully filmed and edited video. Bravo, guys!! :)
Thank you for coming and promoting my country
Hi, Great Vid. I lived in VN for two years and Sapa was like wonderland! Yes it was raining! Yes it was cold! (November- I came to see the snow) Yes the fog obscured the highest mountain in Vietnam but the hot wine with cinnamon, the pumpkin soup and the wood burning fireplaces in the restaurants negated all that! And, yes, every other shop was selling NorthFace Knockoffs for extreme prices!
A word about IDP. International Driving Permits. The MOST Important thing of travelling with and IDP in any foreign country is YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE. If you are driving anything, have an accident that requires medical aid, your insurance company will want (a) a police report of the incident and they will look on that report for info on whether or not you possessed (b) your IDP. If you do not have then you are considered driving illegally regardless of you home drivers license and they will NOT pay out on your medical charges. So, if you do have accident, a you do have your IDP, make sure the police report lists your IDP data; better yet a copy.
Whether or not you will get fined in any country because you don't have an IDP is irrelevant compared to not being covered by any insurance when your bean kisses the pavement!
And Yes you are required to have IDP in Vietnam if you are driving anything. I have seen so many "Dah Factor Videos" about the guys zooming in to Saigon, buying the the crappy Russian and Chinese rust buckets and telling everyone you don't need licenses. These people give Travelers a bad rap.
So maybe you could work that into one of your videos for a FYI.
Getting stopped in VN,(even if you are not speeding of you did nothing wrong) they want money, usual in 2016/17 was 100k ($4.32+-). (keep a 100k note in your pocket so you dont show your wallet) They were never interested in whether or not you have any permits or licenses. If they get hold of your passport or your motorbike keys the price increases. I carried a plasticized copy of my passport and and two spare key sets. I never once was stopped in Saigon, Hoi An or Hanoi, only the roads between.
I have lived in Thailand, Chiang Mai last 6 years and YES, they stop everyone one, in and out of the city( road blocks) especially the tourists and absolutely require the IDP and helmets. No the rental company for the motorbike will not ask you to see your IDP. If they rented only to tourists with IDP they would go broke. It is not their job and no they will not tell you about the road blocks, bad for business!
Take care, have more fun, keep the videos comin.....

Hi guys
I loved that! Watched it from start to finish.
Everything about it I loved! Well done to you both. It could be a dvd easily.
My trip is planned to Veitnam travelling from Saigon to Hanoi as soon as boarders open without restrictions.
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed your trip, it was awesome!
Thank you for sharing!
Kind regards
man, you guys are incredible. I left VN 40 yrs ago. I would not dare to bike there if I ever came back to visit. I learnt a lots from you two, thanks.
Vietnam is stunning from top to bottom..
I just found you two a couple days ago. I love you guy's attitudes, characters and everything about you. Your vids are great. Can't say enough possitive about you. I love your love for one another. Enjoy your adventures.
What a nice comment! Thanks so much Terry, and glad you’re here ☺️☺️
great video. Vietnam is one of the most beautiful countries to ride a motorcycle. Welcome to Vietnam
Hope you stay safe in this time.
I’ve been very depressed with no will to live and I found ur channel this week and it made me feel a bit better about life again
😘😘😘 we love you, thank you for watching with us!
Love the music you guys are using👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thumbs up and Subscribed....
I'm going to Vietnam for the entire month of April and planning to do the loop.
From the route to the beauty to the motorbike specs....
Thank you so much for the incredible details!!
You have such a wonderful journey. This is the second video that I have seen from you two. Great job.
This is the most beautiful and inspiring video I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing.
The drive around Hanoi reminded me of bumper cars on two wheels. Great narrative Fin.
Welcome back ! Great trip, great vlog. You were lucky enough to make it before the virus crisis hit us!
Wow Beautiful Vietnam! Loved the music .
So, i was a little sceptical about a two hour episode but i was glued to the show and found myself not wanting it to end. Amazing job from both of you. Great team work. The trip was spectacular. I loved every minuet. The drive with Fin through Hanoi traffic had me on the edge of my seat. I am an experienced and gutsy rider and i would have probably crashed several times. I am now a big fan and subscriber. Thanks for an amazing 2 hour episode.
It's so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your bike trip!
I dunno how many times I watched your video. So insanely beautiful. It’s ineffable. Thanks for your work and amazing video.
Thank you so much 🩵🧡
Such an epic adventure. Absolutely love Ha Giang!
Currently on Cat Ba island and gonna hit the Ha Giang loop on Tuesday. Thanks for the video. I’m super excited now.
What a fantastic videos. You've done a great job. Thax!!!
VIETNAN me asombra excelente lugar bellos paisajes mis saludos cordiales desde Lima Perú😀😍 mis felicitaciones
Nice, Vietnam's new traffic laws prohibit the use of alcoholic beverages, you guys should be careful with the traffic police! Have the great times and make more good videos.
Dude - great choice for a travel companion - not a head turner, mild looks with an easy disposition. Wont cause any major disturbances - way to play it safe!
My country is more beautiful through your clips. Thank you!
