Hi, my name is Nhat - a truly local Vietnamese 🇻🇳 guy who will show you the beauty of my country - Vietnam. I have traveled to 6/6 regions of Vietnam and believe me when I say, Vietnam has so many different things to offer! ⭐⭐⭐ And don’t you worry, I will be by your side every step of the way, be your friend, your guide and will help you understand more deeply about our culture, our people, our tradition and our history. I am insanely passionate about bringing you to Vietnam and bringing Vietnam to you!👍🏻 💯 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐇𝐚 𝐍𝐨𝐢 & 𝐇𝐚 𝐆𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐠? The Ha Noi & Ha Giang trip will take you on an unforgettable journey to the heart of Vietnam - capital city Ha Noi and the most talked-about by foreigners in recent years - the Ha Giang Loop. As they always say, you have to see it to believe it. And I will not only help you to "see" it, but also "hear" it, as I will be your tour-guide all along the way.👋👋 🤩 Ha Noi is the vibrant capital city of Vietnam, known for its rich culture, delicious cuisine, and bustling energy. The city is home to numerous historical landmarks. Visitors can explore the city's vibrant street markets, sample traditional Vietnamese dishes, and immerse themselves in the city's unique blend of old-world charm and modern-day excitement. 🕊 🤩 Ha Giang Loop, on the other hand, offers an adventurous vibe and chilled feeling to your core! 🙈 The Ha Giang Loop is a stunning mountainous region in Vietnam that offers an unforgettable travel experience. Located in the northernmost province of Ha Giang, this loop offers breathtaking views of the rugged landscape and the chance to experience traditional rural life in Vietnam. The best way to explore the Ha Giang Loop is by motorbike, where you can wind your way through the stunning mountain passes, interact with ethnic minority communities, and enjoy the breathtaking scenery. The loop is not for the faint-hearted, with its steep and winding roads, but the adventure and incredible views are well worth it. If you're seeking an authentic and unforgettable travel experience in Vietnam, the Ha Giang Loop should be at the top of your list. ❌❌❌ Please be noted that this is a guided/ coworking trip in which I will be on your side 24/7 but will only be engaged full-time on weekends (first Saturday & Sunday) and during the Ha Giang Loop time. 💯The remaining weekdays (Mon-Fri) is for co-working time in which you’re provided with cozy, convenient, strong-Wifi space to work individually or feel free to explore the city of Hanoi on your own, of course with my support during non-work time of the day, i.e the early morning or the night’s time. 𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚: 💯 First two days (Sat & Sun): Exploring Ha Noi full-time (I will lead through it thoroughly) 💯 Next five days (Mon to Fri): Co-working at day, night time is for exploring Ha Noi 💯 Last two days (Sat & Sun): Exploring Ha Giang Loop full-time (I will be by your side all the time) 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 🤩 The time in Ha Noi you will be staying at an Airbnb apartment with a double-twin bedroom (2 persons per room). If you have a problem sharing a room, then I can arrange one twin bedroom for ONLY you, so no worries. The bathroom is shared (one per two person) The common area includes kitchen, a shared living room with proper equipment for remote working - just perfect for digital nomads! (I should know, I am one of them :D). 🤩 In Ha Giang, you’ll be staying in shared rooms with individual bed zones (just imagine a dorm room in college). This is to increase the earthiness of the trip - a group activity, so it is by no means a vacation, but more like an adventure. No worries though, the place is clean and hygienic!

Day 8-9
Please be noted that upon returning to Ha Noi, you are entitled to half-day hostel rest (all cost included) Because of the timing of arrival back to Ha Noi is at the break of dawn (4-5PM), I will book a hostel for a quick rest to regain your energy before other plans. If you book a flight out of Vietnam, I suggest the departure time to be after 12PM on that Monday (so that you can have proper timing to travel to the airport - it should take 30 min-1 hour from Hanoi city center to the airport).
