@kayli.kiing: 3 cities, 1 van and 1 sleeper bus 🚐💭✨ After arriving in Hanoi after a 27 hour bus, I spent 3 nights there. One was spent at Hanoi Central Backpackers hostel and then my friend Ciara introduced me to her friends Ella and Rebecca who live here, so we crashed at their apartment for the other two nights 🫶🏼 It was so nice to have a lot of space and a big comfy couch to hang out on for a change. Ninh Binh was a big change of pace compared to Hanoi and I loved it. My friends and I stayed at a cute little home stay called Van Lam Villa. The entire village was gorgeous and I can’t wait to share more pictures from my time there 🫶🏼 I’m in Ha Giang for the remainder of my Vietnam trip, spending four days on the back of a motorbike! also Ciara and I had booked the sleeper bus thinking we had a “two person VIP cabin” but it turns out we had booked ONE bed to share for two 😂 one more thing - when I got off the van my black hat fell off my bag and it’s that black hat I’ve worn almost everyday of the past few summers 😭 #vietnamtravel #backpacker #backpackingadventures #solofemaletraveler #sleeperbus
