Travel Review – Vietnam

There list of reasons to visit Vietnam is long and varied. Obviously given our military background, we always enjoy learning more about the recent war history involving Australia but there is so much more to Vietnam.
 
Following our visit in April this year, and with our upcoming trip in 2019, we thought we would share our top three reasons to put Vietnam on your travel bucketlist:  
 

• The people

The Vietnamese are laid back and friendly, yet confident. While you would expect the people to be friendly around the tourist attractions, we enjoyed how welcoming they also were in the countryside far away from the well worn tourist path. Its not an uncommon experience to be invited to  sit down with the locals  for a beer and a chat. This is the stuff true memories are made of.
 

• The food

Fresh and vibrant, the Vietnamese cusine is a delight for your tastebuds.  With all ingredients, sourced locally and prepared from scratch it makes a welcome departure from the processed options so readily available in many cultures. The plethora of fresh, seasonal ingredients being delivered every morning to the small restaurants always made us excited to eat.
 

• The scope for adventure

Whatever your passion… motorbike riding, trekking, and mountain climbing, food or history; Vietnam has a reason to visit. The opportunities to take your camera out are endless.
