Spontaneous trip to Vietnam

First time traveling to Vietnam and have fallen in love! I’ve been to other countries in South East Asia but Vietnam is now sitting at the top of my list. A spontaneous decision booking last minute sale flights (return for $385 AUD!), and no accommodation or itinerary until arrival has proved to be the best approach for my partner and I. There are so many options of things to do & places to stay, we’ve done so much in the 8 days we’ve been here so far and excited to see what the rest of the trip brings. 1. Lanterns in Hoi An 2. Coconut boat tour in Hoi An 3 & 4. Old Quarter in Hanoi 5. Overnight cruise in Halong Bay 6. Train street in Hanoi #vietnam #mytravelhacks #asia

Hike to Lao Chai–Ta Van villages; rice terraces and local smiles make every step rewarding (locals are super welcoming!).

Sun protection is a must. #Vietnam #Hanoi #Sapa #NinhBinh #TravelCouple
