Traveling to Vietnam
Vietnam 27 April – 4 May 2019
Hi everyone! I’m headed off to Vietnam with 6 influencers and 3 content creators – it’s going to be such a blast. We are starting in Hanoi and traveling north to Ninh Binh (Halong Bay Area) and Puluong (with all the rice paddies). This is our 3rd Influencer Trip that we have done and they are always a great experience.
I’m always surprised how much I learn from content creators – it’s always so incredible! Here is a recap on our experience:
Day one: we arrive to Hanoi a very late in the evening the airport is around one hour away from the main city so for the time we got to the hotel we were all very tired. So was great opportunity to get a good nights sleep. He stayed at a boutique hotel in old called the OGallery suite and spa, which is in the best location to explore the city by foot. Was great to get to know all the people on the trip to the first time, we had six influencers which means they are we’re ladies from Instagram with lots of followers And three content creators which were guys. I can’t wait for this trip to start it’s going to be great experience. I always learn a lot traveling with content creators, influencers, photographers, but you are gophers and come out of the trip a better content creator myself.
Day two: Old Hanoi. This morning we woke up and ate a delicious breakfast at the hotel the one thing I love the most about Vietnam is the fruit. They had passion fruit pineapple Bango melon oranges watermelon all the fruits you could think of and they are so so good. After breakfast we left for our city tour with our guide and Linda. Linda is from northern Vietnam and has a lot of experience taking Traveler‘s through her country. I’m biased but I think she’s one of the best guys. We started out visiting a couple of the main photos and all tonight which are absolutely stunning we also walked across A famous bridge and got two if you are close the banana plantation is that how people work. Later in the day we explored want to know if I foot visiting a shop that was made famous by Anthony Bourdain Obama and Trump if I was actually really good for dinner we did a feature where where we tried once again some Vietnamese egg coffee on me a lot of the other famous refills. He child of you not just know the best food is on the street. Throughout the day we spent most my time taking photos because this it was a trip it was really fun to see how all the content creators capture different shots with different scenery different people and made it a great experience.
Day 3 – we woke up early this morning at 5 AM to visit the flower market before breakfast, it was so fun to be a part of the hustle and bustle of the early morning in the city. We had a few girls from the trip with flight delays so they arrived late yesterday night and slept in so after visiting the farm market we went back to be with them at the hotel. It’s always a highlight to meet such talented people, I was sad but very impressed with how people have created photo and video content so far. After breakfast we took off money to three hour bus ride to be in the south use part of Vietnam. Bing Bing is very similar to how Longbay with the beautiful car smelling overlooking the water weighs so as you can imagine there were so many for opportunities. We arrived in being being checked into the hotel we did for the rain to pass and then we went out a little boats through the waterways which was highlighted experience. For our meals outside of the city we typically eat and locals homes or homestays which I think has better food than anywhere else you can eat and it also helps families grow their business. It’s really cool to see their home to see that Hunt stays it created and the beautiful little restaurant venues they’re usually very scenic. It was a very full day but as this what is a photography tour the end of the day around 11 o’clock we all Went to the boys room where the photographers if you are first were and share photos edited photos and withdrew all the best things from today it’s normally took until one or 2 AM so you can imagine waking up for sunrise an editing until really late at night makes you really tired. I think on average we got 3 to 5 hours of sleep each day, but we got a lot of great photos in a lot of great experiences.
Day 4 – once again we woke up early to beat the rain because in northern be on especially this time of year it rains a lot. The place that we’re staying is more like a resort and it’s absolutely beautiful so we had to sponsor brands on this trip Brooke Solano and somersault somewhere that we took pictures of most of the morning at the beautiful pools and walking through the beautiful resort we also have another brand really on the trip that brought US beautiful dresses that we shot throughout the trip. After leaving the resort at 11 o’clock we went to visit a beautiful pickle and a mountain where the most scenic places I’ve ever been it’s just always such a spiritual experience to be able to be in nature and see how it interacts with what humans have built over the years. After we had lunch once again at home today today’s lunchWas probably one of the best lunches I’ve had yet Vietnam the food was so delicious and the local family was so interactive with us. We actually flew the drone up above their house and the man the father of the house was so excited to see the drone and how it worked. Then in the afternoon it was the highlight of our day because we hiked dragons had a mountain which has where the most beautiful scenic overlook so over all of me. I can’t really describe this word subs and have to show you and pictures those are coming soon.
Day 5 – since we’ve had three mornings a burly wake up calls this morning we decided to sleep in which was a very good call at 9 o’clock after breakfast we took off right next stop Dash Poulos. Long is a beautiful very remote village in the middle of the rice terraces. We struggled through the mountains for four hours before arriving. The last few minutes to the retreat for the most beautiful and scenic as we scaled the mountains up the right to the top of the racers. Long retreat is one of my favorite combinations and all of you. If it is composed of 10 very rustic Bungalo‘s with the most scenic views you’ve ever seen overlooking risers. When we arrived we were so mesmerized by the beauty of the retreat that we went straight to taking drone shots and photos of where we were we didn’t even really eat lunch. In the evening we set out to visit the rice terraces which were stunning and got a lot of really great shots we also got to see how the levels work in the race horses with the water buffalo. You’re interesting. Course we took a lot of photos and a lot of videos so you’ll see those. I even got some photos which is fine.
Day 6 – DAY6 he slept in and ate breakfast and started our way back to annoy a 4 Hour Dr. I actually had a flight out to check for the stand in the evening so I had to leave a few hours earlier than the rest of the group so I said my goodbyes and headed out with my driver to Hanoi. The rest of the group departed around 9 AM I made several stops along the way including much of a local homestay visit to the water wheels and some other sick locations arriving in Hunt a way to check in in the afternoon have some free time and enjoy the rest of the city to her.On the first day we didn’t finish all of the food to her so it was a perfect opportunity for them to do that and well they enjoy their last night shopping and also I am in Singapore waiting for our connecting flight to check with Staff. I’m with my mom who flew from Bali she was on a trip with my family and we are going to travel so proud together. Which is the first time that I’ve been to any of these six countries lean turkey, took me to stand, is Becca stand, stand, Curtis Stan, and Kazakhstan. It’s going to be a blast! We have several that I fight so wish us luck and I will see you there.
Day 7 – En-route to the Silk Road! You have no idea how excited I am, stay tuned for an incredible journey to Central Asia!
