Hello everyone!!! I am just back from an amazing trip to Vietnam, backpacking and so much desire for adventure. I want to tell you about my experiences in this wonderful country.
My first stop was Hanoi, the capital city. A chaotic and fascinating city at the same time. The traffic is a nightmare, with scooters whizzing in all directions, but the atmosphere is really unique. I visited the Temple of Literature, a place of peace and spirituality, and Hoan Kiem Lake, the beating heart of the city.
From Hanoi I moved on to Ha Long Bay, a true natural wonder. I took a boat ride among the limestone islets emerging from the sea, creating a breathtaking landscape. The sunset over the bay was one of the most exciting moments of my trip.
After Ha Long Bay, I visited Hoi An, a picturesque town with pastel-colored wooden houses and red lanterns that light up the streets at night. I got lost in its alleys, shopped at local markets and sampled delicious Vietnamese food.
The last stop on my trip was Sapa, a mountainous region famous for its terraced rice fields. The scenery is truly spectacular: deep green terraces climbing the mountains. I trekked among the rice paddies and met some local tribes, with their traditional costumes and thousand-year-old culture.
An unforgettable trip
Vietnam is a country that has left its mark on my heart. I met amazing people, saw breathtaking landscapes, and tasted amazing cuisine. Traveling alone was a fantastic experience that allowed me to experience Vietnam authentically and independently.
