One thing I love about travelling in Vietnam...

is that since the country is long and thin, there are only two primary routes for travelling through the country: Going from Hanoi to Saigon, or vice versa. The result of this is that when you meet someone there is basically a 50/50 chance you're going in the same direction.

There is a host of people I have hung out with in multiple cities. In two weeks in Vietnam I have run into more people in multiple cities than I did in seven weeks of travelling throughout Europe. It leads to a nice social mix because there are always new people to meet everywhere you go, but it's nice running into a "familiar face" too. It allows you to get to know your fellow traveler better than you otherwise would.

  1. That is really nice, Yoni. As someone who travelled alone for so long, I understand the comfort of seeing familiar faces.
