Hello, I am in my late 20s. I took all of December off to travel solo and I would love to hear some itinerary ideas.

I am thinking of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. I would be grateful to get some itinerary recommendation from people who done something similar. But I am also open to other ideas.

I am usually attracted to places that are less touristy, but where it is easy to get along with people. I am very much into outdoor activities, explorations, and real adventures.

Also happy to hear…

Hi all,

I have a question about our itinerary and route Hspaw to Kalaw. Is there a possibily to travel this in one day (or night?). I know that there is not a direct bus.

This is our itinerary. Makes this sense and is this possible? Otherwise we would skip Hsipaw and just go from Myanmar to Kalaw. More easy.

My wife and I are planning a 3-week trip to Vietnam at the end of December, arriving around the 23rd. It will be my first time in Vietnam and my wife's first time in Asia. We were initially planning on spending the entire time in the North - Hanoi, Lan Ha Bay, Ha Giang, and Lai Chau. The North generally sounds more interesting to us and I think we'd prefer Hanoi over HCMC, but I'm starting to wonder if we should head south instead. It would be nice to spend some time in warmer weather and it…

Hi, all! We have been in vietnam for about a month riding two orange 110cc honda wins (replica) from hanoi to ho chi minh. Once we get to the city we will be spending a few days and then heading to Cambodia.
Would anyone either want to purchase the bikes if it works out, or have any helpful information on selling them?
Thanks, G
