VIETNAM | Solo Backpacking | Ep2: Hoi An to Phong Nha

Publicado 2020-06-11
I had 6 weeks to travel from the south to the north of Vietnam.

This 3 part documentary series captures the complete backpacking experience as I travel from Saigon up to Ha Giang.

In this episode I start in the beautiful town of Hoi An, I visited the Golden Bridge of the Ba Na Hills outside of Da Nang; biked the Hai Van Pass; visited historical sites in Hue; travelled through the old DMZ and went caving in Phong Nha National Park.

    You just confirmed my will to travel there. Hell, I even want to learn vietnamese.
  • @chrisbrown8748
    Hoi An was by far my favorite little city in Vietnam I would definitely visit again.
  • @khafoogles5799
    Having been living in Vietnam for 18 years, me now lying on the bed and watching a foreigner video to explore my own country.
  • @eduardochavacano
    Danang and Hoi An, are places I have to explore. So Vietnam is really worth revisited, even if I’ve been there 7 times.
  • @juiceorange5987
    what attracts me most is the friendliness of Vietnamese people. the way they smile in front of the camera really makes my heart melt
  • @chunkystyle3311
    Ba Na Hills was an old french town that has been turned into a tourist attraction. To my knowledge, Ba Na hills was a place where the french used to use as their vacation homes during the summer. They specifically chose this location because of the climate that it has. It is much cooler than other parts of Vietnam. Nowadays it has been renovated for tourism purposes. And the Golden Bridge is totally brand new for tourism purposes lol, absolutely no historical context there.
  • I traveled Viet Nam about a year ago, its so entertaining to see the stuff ive been too in the video.
  • @tompham8039
    I am Vietnamese-American, I appreciate your adventures in a beautiful country, my country. Thanks for sharing this video to the world. I have seen many videos of tourists from all over the world who visited Vietnam, but this video is the best.
  • @Shuubox
    Dude, when are you gonna get hired by Netflix or something ? your stuff is so good, but sadly lost in the myriad of youtube channels
  • @LukeDamant
    This is literally Netflix documentary worthy! Keep it up man 👍
  • @joeybill5856
    I visited Vietnam in 2016 and visited many of the same places you did Karl. However, I didn't go north of Hue (between there and Hanoi). Really enjoying seeing places that are more off the beaten path for many tourists. Enjoying your videos very much and can't wait to visit there again. I had such a FUN trip and culturally unique experience in Vietnam. The people in VN are super friendly and hospitable. Being an American born between 1960-70 I was a bit hesitant about going there but I had ZERO issues with anyone there. Highly recommend Vietnam to anyone that is looking for a wonderful holiday.
  • @briancousins3101
    Viet Nam is a wonderful place. I am always delighted & amazed. It also reminds me how resilient are its people... and how horrible was the American war caused & led by the US industrial military complex. US aggression & imperialism must never be forgotten or forgiven.
  • @georgejobe961
    It’s bringing back so many memories of Hue. It was one of the highlights of Vietnam, the pagodas were magnificent. Also a very atmospheric little town with a road full of great restaurants and bars. Thanks Carl for taking me back there!
  • @tyvoremusic
    I traveled to Vietnam about 2 years ago. Hoi An was by far my favorite place. Hotels were very cheap but great. I rented a motorbike for the day for literally $4 US. Great place. Great video.
  • @ankit0657
    I am preparing my Vietnam trip itinerary entirely by watching your vlogs, thats how good this is!
