Solo travel

First of all: I'm not a city person - but I kinda liked Ho Chi Minh City. I enjoyed my time there - Cu Chi tunnels and Mekong Delta tours are just two of the many thing that you can do from the city centre. I also felt safe all the time-just be carefull if you wanna cross the street 🤣😅

Solo travel

I stayed with Mai Mai and her parents from Travel Ladies which was a truly amazing experience, I felt incredibly welcomed and learned a lot from them. It’s a massive city so more expensive than much of vietnam but still massively competitively cheap coming from the UK. I got around almost entirely on motorbikes; using Grab and getting rides from my host. It is a walkable city but to go to big distances a motarbike is useful. I loved seeing the war museum and enjoyed local temples that my hosts showed me far more than the popular tourist ones. I reccomend walking around and exploring if you...

Solo travel

Ho Chi Minh City was my first solo trip. From the moment I left the plane I felt safe. The people are amazing and always willing to help you out. I stayed at the city backpackers hostel and met the best people there. The receptionist was amazing and really helpful whenever I needed help with planing something.

Ho chi minh is the safe place for girls, specially for solo female travelers. Vietnam is 1 of the safest countries in the world for solo travelers, especially women. We have a lot of options for playing, sightseeing and shopping, etc... So don't worry, feel free to come and enjoy.

I’ve lived in HCMC my whole life and honestly it feels like one of the safest places in the world. The traffic in Vietnam is notoriously chaotic but can got used to after a few times of careful navigation. The harassment scene is not terrible, men/ older natives would stare, sometimes with an inappropriate/ judgmental look (especially if we show skin or if you’re a foreigner, not our faults!) but they don’t actively act on it. Catcalling is rare for me also. I was never mugged/ robbed in daylight, even in super crowded places or on public transports, still, always lock the doors at your...
