Vietnam 2024 – Blog and Chit-Chat

During our long journey, Vietnam is the first country we visit. We enter the country in January 2024. We travel from the north to the south of the country, which is unusual for this time of the year.

The north is usually visited around May because it can still be cold in January, and fog is often present. This choice is made to avoid the usual tourist circuits. We take this opportunity to offer a bit of freshness to Kévin. However, the reality is more challenging than the theory, and we share our adventures and successes in the blog articles below.

  • We arrive in Hanoi where we spend almost 5 days.

5 days in Hanoï: our arrival and first steps in the country

A rich cultural past, delicious food, live entertainment and a change of scenery are just some of the words that describe a visit to Hanoi in Vietnam. We tell you all about how we felt, and give you practical tips and budget advices for your visit.

  • We then head to Sa Pa for 2 days.
  • We spend 5 days in the city of Tam Coc, located in the Ninh Binh region.
  • We then head to Dong Hoi to access Phong Nha National Park. The whole trip takes us 6 days.
  • We’re taking 2 small days to visit Danang.
  • 2 more little days to visit Hue.
  • We stop for a week in Hoi An, a duration imposed by the Tết festival (lunar new year) during which the whole country is at a standstill.
  • We continue our journey to Quy Nhon where we stay for 2 short days
  • Nha Trang is our next destination. Ho Chi Minh was supposed to be our next stop, but no buses were able to take us there, so we went with what was available.
  • We end our stay beautifully in Ho Chi Minh where we stay for 5 days.
