Sure you could take the well-travelled path through Vietnam. But let’s be real the back roads make for way better stories — and this eight-day hostel-based trip is definitely proof. After a night out in Hanoi head into the countryside stopping at pagodas local fish markets and the Vinh Moc Tunnels: a massive bomb shelter from the Vietnam War. Next gear up for a ‘gram-worthy day as you road trip in an open-top jeep visiting the incredible An Bang Cemetery taking a dip at Lang Co beach and snapping pics of the views along Hai Van Pass before saying your goodbyes in Hoi An.
