    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.

      @@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?

    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!

    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.

      @@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.

      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.

    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!

      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!!

    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.....
