Here’s how to BEST spend your time travelling the beautiful North of Vietnam! This is an incredible country (one of our favourites) and we’re sharing our experience travelling Vietnam for 3 weeks with 2 kids! We’re sharing what to do, where to go and how to get around. From unique experiences and hidden gems to popular tourist attractions you simply can’t miss!

We travelled from Hanoi to Halong Bay then down to Ninh Binh (Tam Coc & Trang An). From there we took an overnight train to Hue where we found a unique place to stay for a night! Then we made our way down to the beautiful Hoi An for basket boats and the lantern festival before heading to Da Nang for a final days in Vietnam.

So if you’re planning a trip to Vietnam and don’t know where to start, start here!! We’re here to show you Vietnam is possible to travel even with young kids.

👋🏼 About us
Hi, we’re Jason, Megan, Koby & Luen an Australian family who love to travel together and capture our adventures along the way. While we don’t travel full time, we make the most out of every school holidays to explore our home of Western Australia or venture out further around the world. We want to inspire others to venture out, explore and go on your own adventure! Make adventures a common part of your life!

We have a passion for travel & videography and create “travel series” sharing everything from where to stay, things to do and where to eat when travelling the world. Showing that you can do all this with kids along for the journey… and hopefully take the stress out of planning!
