Crossing into Vietnam from Cambodia by bus marked the start of an unforgettable adventure. From the motorbike crowded streets of Ho Chi Minh City to the historic charm of Hanoi, I journeyed by sleeper train, bus, and trek, discovering a country full of surprises.

Ho Chi Minh City buzzed with energy, from street food to historical landmarks, while the sleeper train north offered scenic views and a slower pace. Along the way, I explored historic places such as Hue and Hoi An, and experienced the haunting legacy of the Vietnam War. In Hanoi, the blend of tradition and modernity was striking, especially in the Old Quarter and around Hoan Kiem Lake.

Throughout my travels, the street food and night markets were highlights, giving me a taste of Vietnam's vibrant culture.
