Why are some people so unbelievably precious?? Take us all over the world and just also be so down to Earth?? You cannot imagine how happy you make a 61 year old Gramma from Maine!!
Thank you so much, Mariam! ❤❤❤ thank you for watching!
I feel exactly the same way, Mariam!
Me 3 honestly in a world full of fakes, this is by far my favorite couple to watch. They are so genuine and they provide valuable information to people trying to put trips together themselves. This is my third time watching the Vietnam series, thank you for what you do. I love you guys
Hey guys!! I would have NEVER even considered visiting Vietnam but now its on our bucket list to do. Kathryn, your laugh and enthusiasm is infectious! The video editing is spot on. I look forward to your video each week. Thanks for visiting places and doing things off the grid. I love small towns and the people that live there are just so humble and nice. The food looks amazing every where you go! Thanks for taking us along with you on your travels! ❤
We feel the same! Especially taking this tour, it would be amazing! ~Cara 😊
Many westerners/foreingers have lived in Vietnam since the mid 90s and more westerners are planning their retire in Vietnam due the cheap living expense . Vietnam has been so popular as a tourist destination for the past two decades. If you "EVER", emphasize again 'EVER", LOL...visit Vietnam, go to Hoi An, you'll be surprised with the amount of tourists, it's insanely overcrowded with tourists.
Thank you so much! That means a lot to us to hear that! We're really happy and thankful we could share our adventures from Vietnam and hopefully open people's eyes to how beautiful and amazing the country is!
America is beautiful but hope you guys keep traveling more internationally, you learn more because it's just DIFFERENT and gives NEW perspectives! Internationally, people are more RESOURCEFUL because they have less than us and must make use of what they have. When we see something RESOURCEFUL, CREATIVE and DIFFERENT, it feels PROUD to being a HUMAN!!!
We would definitely be doing a lot more international travel if we could! We definitely learn so much and really enjoy international travel!
Oh my god,Vietnam 🇻🇳are really beautiful country. As a Vietnamese, i can believe that Vietnam grandiose like this.Thanks for share about my country. Love you from Vietnam 🇺🇸❤🇻🇳and goodbye 😢😭hope you visit vietnam 🇻🇳soon.We miss you guys:(
Nova & Hugo so sad to see you say goodbye to these awesome guides! The waterfalls the rides through the countryside what a epic journey! We would LOVE to take this tour! It’s been amazing and thank you so much for bringing us along! Best Vietnam series we’ve watched! ~Cara 😊
PS. Best dance montages too! 😅
We were very sad to say bye to our guides! We hope we can hang out with them again one day!
If you guys get out to Vietnam we highly recommend the tour! Everything about it was top notch.
Thank you! ❤❤
Wow!! Vietnam is so beautiful!! You kids know how to explore a country and love ❤️ you for it!! Your my favorite hikers !!
Thank you, Mariam!
Thank you for sharing Vietnam with us. Growing up all we knew was about the war. What a beautiful piece of the world!
(The way you film is awesome!)
Vietnam has a lot of potential. They’re working hard to advertise tourism to the world. Give it a chance when you can. Vietnamese is very hospitable and fond of American
We were very hopeful that we could share a different side of Vietnam than what most Americans think of! Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
I love the fact that you guys did homework well before visiting the place, even the most secretive spot ever exists. I enjoy every bit of history of it.
Thank you so much!
I really like you said. You can’t replace human. So true! Like the attitude! Have fun and stay safe!
Thank you!
We have thoroughly enjoyed this series! I’m blown away by Vietnam; it is stunning! Thanks, as always, for your hard work!!❤Looking forward to what’s next!!
Thank y'all and thanks for watching!
Thanks God nothing really bad happened to Adam. The falls, mountains , animals on the road and boat ride was all awesome. Your drivers are full of energy and fun. Good your safety back to Hanoi. Thanks for sharing your adventure be safe. I missed Konna ❤
We were so lucky the fall was so minor! Thank you so much! We missed Kona too!
Mishaps happen sometimes on every journey. I'm glad you guys made it safe after the trip. Props to the local drivers for being very caring and polite. I can't wait to see what you guys will bring to us on this channel!
We were very lucky and thankful it was such a minor accident. Thanks and thanks for watching!
This is my favorite trip series. All it needs now is a random clip from Kona chilling at home
haha that would have been great to throw in! 😂 thank you and thanks for watching!
What an awesome video. Sweet, spectacular, scenic all in one video. I think you really made us sit up and start looking into Cao Bằng side trip from the Ha Giang Loop now.
By the way, I speak a little bit of canine and the dogs were saying “you’re so sweet, you’re so sweet, you’re so sweet” to you.
And I agree with you, having a rider allows you to take in the scenery and the small road sideshows that you would miss if you were driving.
Thank you for taking the time and energy to film, edit and post these videos as I know how time consuming and tedious it takes.
It was such a fantastic trip! Those doggoes were the cutest!
Going with guides and having them drive was the best move.
Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
So happy to see Adam and Hieu were fine. You could just see how bad Hieu felt about it but i do believe that was something out of his control due to the wet roads. If i ever get to take this epic trip, i would 100% love to have your tour guides as mine because they just seems so lovely, safe and fun! What an incredible trip! (also, lol at the teletubbies reference!)
We were lucky and thankful it was so minor! Hieu is such a great person and guide. If you ever make it over there and do this trip we hope you get them as guides they were amazing! Thank you!
I did the same loop as you guys some 10 years ago. One day it suddenly started to rain and I saw someone slide off their motorbike every 10 minutes or so during the 2 hours ride back to my homestay. Even experienced drivers can lose control in a split second. So glad you guys were okay.
What another amazing adventure for the books!! Loved hearing you keep the audio on with the water flowing and birds chirping along the way - thank you! That waterfall was INSANE!! Really enjoyed seeing all the different animals you encountered along the way, too. And that tunnel was really cool! Must have been really hard to head home after your time in Vietnam. Thanks again for bringing us along for the ride!
It was very hard to leave. It was such and incredible trip! Thank you!
You struggle to put into words how incredible the motorbike trip was. I struggle to put into words how incredible it was to watch! Thank you for sharing such unique and amazing beauty and joy.
Thank you, Jim! It was an epic and incredible trip! We're glad we could film it and share it with others!
I LOVE your dance breaks, & having your drivers bust a move with y’all made me smile! Really glad you didn’t drive yourselves, I’ve read too many stories of motor mishaps to know that it’s probably best to leave the driving to folx that have grown up there, plus you do get to enjoy the view more. Thanks for sharing, so glad your international journeys are off to a great start
Yeah doing the easy rider option was definitely the right move. Like you said, let the people who know the roads like the back of their hand do the driving so we can enjoy the trip! Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
What an adventure! I'm glad no one was hurt You guys have such amazing positive spirits and resilience. Technology can but replaced but not people like Kathryn said. What adventure would it be without any mishaps, right? It will be something you will remember forever. I had so much fun watching your VN series. And yes, Vietnamese people love taking pictures with foreigners!
It was an epic adventure and we're so thankful we got to make this trip happen. Thank you and thanks for watching!
Oh my goodness! Breathtakingly beautiful scenery!! Vietnam is so rich with history too. What a wonderful trip on the bikes and so glad Adam didn't get hurt too bad. Wish we were a little younger and we might have done something like this! Thanks for taking us along. Safe trip home!
We really enjoyed all the scenery and history of Vietnam! Can't wait to go back!
I am so lucky the mishap was so minor! Thanks, Loey!
I look forward to your videos which are always filled with adventure, fun, beauty and food..can't forget the food. I enjoyed Vietnam, it is a beautiful country. Thanks for taking us on the trip.😊
Thank you, Janeth!
Glad Adam is ok. What a fabulous trip. What awesome views
We're thankful and lucky it was so minor! Thank you! ❤
Your guides were the perfect match for you! So fun and energetic.
They were amazing!
Your SE Asia trip has been my favorite series so far! Getting out of your comfort zone and exploring cities/cultures opposite of the planet from where you live gives such a different layer in travelling and exploration. I would really love to see more SE Asia trips in the future! Japan, Bali, Philippines. Keep up the amazing work, I'm so excited to see more!!
Very glad that both were fine after the mishap. I agree with you, lives are more important than technology.
It's one of our favorites as well! We hope to mix in more international travel like this in the near future. Can't wait to go back to Asia!
Thank you and thanks for watching, Johnny!
Believe it or not because of your Vietnam video trip I decided to tour Vietnam in August with my bff. I haven't been to Vietnam, looking forward to see it. Your video is amazingly beautiful! The beautiful places you've visited & the joy, kindness, and positivity in your personality make me always want to see the next video.
Oh that is so awesome to hear! Our hope is to inspire people to travel so that really makes our day when we hear that!
Thank you so much for watching!
Welcome to Vietnam❤😊
Your Vietnam videos are so damn good, I cannot express the amount of pride and joy I had watching the series (as a Vietnamese). I am super glad you guys stayed here for a full month and truly explore every region of the country, not just the two biggest cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Obviously, there were some parts you guys haven't been to yet (my hometown included ^^), but that's great since you'll have more reasons to visit Vietnam again in the future.
Thank you for your videos and the work you put in the videos, and thank you for visiting Vietnam. We're glad you enjoyed your stay here, and are always looking forward to welcoming you again. Vietnam is a rapidly developing country, so the next time you visit, I guarantee there will be something new for you to do!
(Oh, and also, the thing where people ask to take photos with you is probably the most Vietnamese thing ever. We love it when foreigners visit the country and respect the culture, and taking a photo is regarded as a way to show that they really do love you here).
Where is your hometown??? I am going to vietnam next year for a month also...
@@jodpigbass5904 Oftentimes, people often see Vietnam as 3 regions: North, Central, and South (as did Adam and Kathryn). This way of division is fine, but it's not comprehensive.
In the Northern part of the country, there are 3 (or arguably 4) smaller regions: The Red River Delta (Hanoi and nearby provinces), The Northeast (Ha Giang, Quang Ninh), and the Northwest (Lao Cai - Sapa, etc.). Adam and Kathryn visited 2 out of the 3 (they visited Hanoi - part of the Red River delta, and Ha Giang + Cao Bang - part of the Northwest). So they were missing out on a lot of things in the Northeast (For example The mountainous town of Sapa, the farms of Mộc Châu, the rice fields in Mù Căng Chải, the valleys in Hòa Bình, or the historical sites in Tuyên Quang and Phú Thọ). And although they visited the Northwest, they didn't visit the very unique coastal province of Quảng Ninh (famous for Hạ Long Bay and Yên Tử pagoda, the 2 absolute must-sees of the country).
The central part can be divided into 3 smaller regions: North-central, central, and south-central. Props to them for visiting the north-central part since it is often neglected by most visitors. Quảng Bình is absolutely gorgeous and it's truly a hidden gem. But then, you also have Quảng Trị (where many of the historical sites related to the Vietnam War still exist - such as the Hiền Lương bridge which divided the country into two during the war), and Huế (where the Imperial palace - the old capital of the country - still stands, along with other historical sites from the last imperial dynasty of the country). They also missed out on Đà Nẵng - which is the largest city in the Central region and the fifth-largest city in the country. Down to the central region, they visited Hội An - which is definitely worth a trip. But there's also Lý Sơn island - part of Quảng Ngãi province, which also has spectacular scenery. And in Hoi An itself, there are also sites worth exploring, such as Phú Ninh Lake. The south-central region has beautiful beaches like Nha Trang (my hometown), and Phan Rang or Phan Thiết. This is one of the few places where you can see remnants of the Champa Kingdom, a nation that has a very different culture from Vietnam that existed in this particular region.
The region that is not visited by 90% of visitors is Tây Nguyên (Central Highlands). And even if they do, they only visit Đà Lạt, a city that is known for its cooler climate and beautiful nature as well as influences from French architecture. But Buôn Ma Thuột (the largest city in the region) is often less visited. This is where you can find many national parks whose natural landscape is unique in the nation (such as Yok Đôn National Park - where you can actually see and touch the elephants, explore nature, etc.), and this is THE birthplace of Vietnamese coffee culture. 40% of the coffee in the country comes from this place.
And the Southern region can be divided into 2 smaller ones: East-southern and West-southern. The east-southern is mostly industrial zones and it's the economic powerhouse of the country, so honestly, I'd say there's nothing much to do (outside of Ho Chi Minh City). But in the provinces near the ocean (Bà Rịa - Vũng Tàu), there are some noticeable sites. Phú Qúy island is untouched, such a great place to be with absolutely gorgeous nature and well-preserved natural reservations, and unspoiled beaches. It's a nice getaway from the chaos of Vietnam.
The west-southern (commonly known as the Mekong Delta) is one of the most cultural-rich regions of the country. Tourism here is not developed at all, but the sites here are just as fascinating. You can explore the floating markets on rivers, the sweet deserts here that are notorious in the country, the Khmer temples in Sóc Trăng, the mangroves forests and the Muslim mosques in An Giang, or the holy temple of the Cao Đài religion in Tây Ninh.
So Adam and Kathryn, if you're reading this, please come back here one day OMG there's so much more to do. We're always welcoming you, we're so glad that you enjoyed it here, but Vietnam has SO MUCH to offer.
Btw, if you have one month, you can pretty much visit almost all the regions here. Maybe you're gonna have to skip through one or two, but try not to rush it too much.
Thank you so much. We are very thankful we were able to experience so much of the country. We can't wait to come back and see more one day! Thank you and thanks for watching!
Yes there is tons more to see and if we weren't filming we definitely could have seen and experienced even more than we did. Filming our adventures takes a lot of time so we aren't able to see as much as a visitor who isn't filming. We will for sure be back one day. For this trip we chose the places and activities we were most excited for. Thanks and thanks for watching
From a fellow Texan, thanks for the beautiful videos of my birth place.
Howdy! Thanks and thanks for watching!
I love your positive energy and outlook. Always enjoy watching your videos.
I want to do it… You made it look like so much fun! The scenery was so beautiful and so different. The best part was your interaction with the guides for meals and learning about the culture. I think they made all the difference in making a transition to understanding Vietnamese culture. What warm and happy people! What do you think about people over 60 doing that trip? I think I could do a portion of it but not a full week. What section of your trip do you think was the best?
Our guides were the best! We are so thankful to have met them and them show us around!
Being on the bike for 6 days getting to be a challenge by the end. The scenery helps take your kind of the ride though. I think the last three days of the trip were the best, but the actual Ha Giang loop is the most popular section
I've been waiting for every new episode, and it's so sad when it comes to the end... Kudos to your drivers, the moment at Angel Eye Mountain was scary. Sorry about the accident, but luckily everyone is okay. I have a smile on my face throughout of 30mins. Thank you for bringing us with your true adventure. You made me put this route on my bucket list.
Same! Always look forward to a new episode!
We were very lucky and thankful the accident was so minor! Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
Hi there, Just want to say we love you guys from here in the UK, so much so we have included Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in our Malaysia tour planned for November as an extra stop. We, much like yourselves love travel in fact I suppose we are travelling hoteliers lol. Hope to include the rest of Vietnam in the future. In addition, we have decided to Vlog our travels going forwrd too, not as good as you guys but its great for our own clients to see what we get up to.

So beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you. I want to eat all the food you showed.

Therefore, we will have
excellent videos from
your adventures…❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much, Michael!
Hey guys LOVED your Vietnam series. Ive been there a lot over the years as I run a small street kid sponsorship program there in HCMC. Never been that far north, determined to do it. Love the drone footage, what a lot of work!! So sad youve left as i so enjoyed the videos. VN gets under your skin, and I have enjoyed taking many people there. We are from New Zealand, come here sometime. Take care guys!!!
Vietnam has a special place in our hearts! We had such a great time all over the country! Don't worry, NZ is HIGH on our list to visit 😊 Thanks and thanks for watching!
What an amazing tour. Doing a freerider tour is definitely on my list when I make it to Vietnam. What an incredible way to see all that gorgeous scenery. I'm glad no one was hurt and that you had an amazing time.
It is definitely the best way to take in all the scenery! Can't recommend it enough! We were very lucky the slide out was so minor! Thank you!
My husband and I have SO enjoyed your videos in Southeast Asia! I have no words for how amazing you guys are.
Thank you guys so much and thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for sharing and caring . Specially small messages you shared when accident happened that really warm my heart. Vietnamese people work really hard for living and feeding their family. Wishing you both all the best with all the video. I love your positive energy and genuine smile ❤
Our guides were the best and that was just an unfortunate accident. They were very caring, kind, and just the best. Can't say enough good about them!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
I am Vietnamese 100%,the first time I visited Ha Giang loop on New Year 2024,it's was totally amazing more than I imagine,the landscape is incredible.If you are enthuasiam with riding motor bike,it's your trip.if you can not ride,it's cool when you book a tour with local driver.I will get second trip to Ha Giang and Moc Chau on Feb 2024.I'll see you guy there.
My daughter is going to Vietnam in about 1.5 years for a friend's wedding. The two of us are going to tack on a 2 week vacation either before or after the wedding. To say I am even more excited to go now after seeing your amazing trip is putting it mildly. Thank you so much for this, and for all you do. Just love following you both.
Oh that is so exciting! We hope y'all have a great time! Thank you and thanks for watching!
Tôi là người dân Việt Nam 🇻🇳👉 tôi rất yêu thích kênh UA-cam của hai bạn 👉 và đã đăng ký kênh UA-cam của hai bạn và xem video của hai bạn mỗi ngày ❤️ chúc mừng hai bạn đã đến Việt Nam chúng tôi ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳👍👍👍
I spent two weeks in Vietnam, but Hanoi was as far north as we got. You have given me an excuse to go back. What an adventure and that scenery!
You gotta get back there!
Absolutely have enjoyed this trip to Vietnam and thank you sincerely for sharing it with us. It has been amazing.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Amazing video. Adam and Hiêu are safe hopefully.Thank you
We're very lucky and thankful the crash was so minor! Thanks!
SUPER WOW Video.!! Being older my memories of Viet Nam times was of a sad time. Really glad for the trip as I'm really impressed of the beauty from the villages to the modern cities., from the animals sharing the roads to the city traffic. Glad Adam was ok. Traveling by moto can be dangerous when protective gear is minimal. Kona has missed the trip of a lifetime. Give her a hug for me when you get home. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋♂️
We're glad we could share a different side of Vietnam that many Americans don't think about. It was such a fantastic trip!
We were so lucky and thankful the crash was so minor! Yes we sure with Kona bear could have been with us! Thanks, John!
This was such a FUN and FANTASTIC video…it had me smiling so big AGAIN! All your videos are spectacular but these motorbike videos have been just awesomely fun! I could go on and on about all the wonderful things about this video but it would be too long! Great job you four! I do want to say that I am so happy that Adam and his driver were okay…when you told me about the accident my heart sank. Just grateful they were both okay!
We had a blast on the motorbike trip and we're glad that shows in the videos! It was so gorgeous out there! We're very lucky the mishap was so minor! Thank you! ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us. Amazing!
What an amazing, fantastic, awesome...EPIC trip you guys took! I love that you guys went where most of the backpackers haven't really gone. Using those guides was the best idea as they showed you places others may not know about or food that typical Western vloggers would not know to order. What a lifetime of memories you guys will have from this experience (including the accident as it'll provide the best stories later on). Phenomenal series!
We were so thankful for our guides. They were amazing! It was such an incredible and amazing trip we'll never forget!
Lots of adventure and interesting things in this video.
What a beautiful country! The puppies were so cute! I'm glad Adam is OK. The drone footage of the lake is so pretty! Awesome video!
We couldn't get enough of the puppies! I got so lucky on that little motorbike mishap! Thanks, Sarah!
That was just magical to watch. Thanks Adam, thanks Kathryn. Loved it.😲👍😊💙🇻🇳
Thank you!
Ban Gioc waterfall used to be located deep inside Vietnam for hundred kilometers, photos from the French colonial days could prove this, until China invaded the border and drew up new frontier divided the 2 countries right by the waterfall.
The original borderline was at Ai Nam Quan, which means Southern Gate, it was an actual brick and mortar gate built like a mini Great Wall of China on a hill side cliff, this was where the border line was, if you go into China and see this, then you could tell where the old 1990s border was .
Which is unfortunate since I bet the side they took has better views due to the mountains nearby. I bet the area they claimed is more scenic overall.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Another great video you guys!
Cám ơn các bạn đã đến Việt Nam quay những video để nhiều người Biết đến Việt Nam hơn❤
My Babies know how to do a country!! Love 💕 Stay safe !! Grammie says!! Love 💕 from Maine!!
❤❤
Thanks guys another great trip for all of us.Just love you two.💕💕
Wow!! That was a great video! This might be my favorite of this series!! Glad you wasn’t hurt to much Adam!! Never knew this place was so beautiful!!
We were very lucky and grateful the crash was so minor! Thanks, Annette!
You are both amazing and I look forward to your videos every week! Thank you for taking us along for this epic adventure and Adam I'm so glad you and your awesome guide are ok!
Thank you, Claire! Vietnam was everything we hoped it to be and more! Our guides were as well! Thank you!
You guys have always done a great job …. But you just keep on getting better and better. I have enjoyed all of the Vietnam videos. Loving those locations and those big smiles from the two of you!
Thank you so much 😊❤
What a great view of the lakes ! Amazing. You guys handled the fall very well. Inspiring videos, loved it.
Thank you!
the parts where you pass the animals, are the best 😊
You guys have reached God-mode when it comes to travel planning and execution. Even in a foreign country. It is seriously impressive!
haha we're trying! Thank you!
Welcome to Viet Nam 😗
Beautiful country...great video.😊
A and K...Yay!
so happy to watch your beautiful videos about Viet Nam❤❤ as a Vietnamese, I feel so proud, and so jealous with you because even I haven't tried these experiences in my country 😂😂 and now I'm studying abroad in Canada 🇨🇦 now I'm so exciting and willing to come back to home some day
Another amazing episode! I loved the scenery and experiences you shared. I'm very relieved you're okay after that mishap. And I hate to be Debbie Downer but I wanted to caution you about petting animals in Vietnam. As an animal lover myself I know it's almost impossible to resist these cuties but I've been advised by travel medicine experts to avoid handling animals in any country where rabies is circulating. Unfortunately that includes Vietnam where in recent years an average of 70 people have died of it. Sorry, I know it's not fun stuff to discuss but you're so good at sharing useful travel info with your viewers so I thought you'd want to know. Stay safe and I can't wait to see what you do next.
I agree with you. Pets in Vietnam are very different. They don’t keep up with vets appointments or vaccines.
Thanks for sharing that. Luckily all the dogs and animals we met in Vietnam were very friendly.
Another amazing adventure! Beautiful scenery 😮. And ofcourse great food. Man I love Vietnam already. ✌
The scene is so naturally beautiful. Thanks for sharing.😊
I have been watching your videos for a long time and it is so cool to see you in Asia. I spent 8 years in Asia while in the military. I loved it and it looks like you are having a good time too. Now, I see you are heading to the country I spent 4 years in (Singapore). I am excited to see what adventures you were able to have in the city of the Merlion. I know the airport is cool, but hopefully you were able to see more. By the way, you did a great job with the Vietnam videos :)
Vietnam was everything we hoped it would be and more! Singapore was really fun as well! We did venture out of the airport on our second visit and did as much as we could in the less than 24 hours we had there. That video will be released soon! Thanks and thanks for watching!
The drone footage was amazing. More, please.
I am so glad all of you are ok. Riding bikes in the rain is always a challenge. Thank you both A&K for understanding the drivers. Love watching you both and I can't wait for when you have many many more adventures and to share with all of your viewers. Stay safe and have a great time. USA.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
I am Vietnamese, living in the US. I am very jealous that you two have seen Vietnam more than I have. Your enthusiasm and passion to explore places are infectious. Thank you for the videos of adventure in Vietnam.

You had me on the edge of my seat the whole video waiting to see what happened with the flipped bike! I’m so so glad you guys are safe from the fall! Also love the tswift reference!!!😂 such a fun video!
Thank you and thanks for watching! We are thankful and lucky I had no injuries from the accident!

I am so glad Adam is okay! Travel safe guys!
Thank you!
That home stay was AMAZING, the people and the stay! Thanks for capturing it! It has its own cave, can't say that to any place!
Amazing video. Vietnam is such a beautiful country, especially the mountains. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
The whole country was amazing, but the mountainous areas were definitley our favorites! Thanks, Debbie!
U guys really know how to TRAVEL. Love it❤
Your trip to Vietnam looked so amazing! What a scary accident. So glad you guys are safe!
It was a fantastic trip! And yes the accident was very scary and I'm lucky it was so minor! Thanks and thanks for watching!
Loved this episode of the trip! The rivers and scenery was so gorgeous! Thanks for showing us!!
Thank you!
So beautiful👍
Looks like you had an awesome time. Can’t wait for Massachusetts to be knocked off your list!
Best view, thanks for sharing
Wow wow wow wow! What an amazing trip. Thanks so much for doing this not only with guides but going someplace other than the most popular. We for sure are adding this to our list when planning our trip. You guys are the greatest. We love your videos, so inspiring and informative.
Beautiful country, yall did it justice
Thank you! ❤
Great scenery and video..thanks guys!!
Thankfully, you guys are ok. Especially Adam. Stay safe and enjoy ❤❤

Thank you for sharing your epic adventure in my homeland. I will definitely follow your footsteps. You are definitely right with having a driver/guide so you can focus on the breath taking sceneries. I already booked my flight ticket to Vietnam for March 2024. Can't wait. ❤❤❤
That's so awesome! We hope you have a great trip and thanks for watching!
It's been a while since I've commented, so Happy New Year! :) Even though I've been trapped under heavy work demands, I've been keeping up on the videos, and I'm very impressed with all you've done with Vietnam. It's helped this son of a Vietnam veteran see the country in a whole different light. I'll finally be able to venture out from the Detroit area next week when I road trip to see some of what you saw in fall 2021: Franconia Ridge, Mount Mansfield, Mount Marcy and more. Thank you as always for putting so much joy here on UA-cam!
Hey! Good to hear from you!
Glad you’re able to get away from work soon! Those are some amazing spots! We hope you enjoy them
We’re going to the Mets game tonight and JV is pitching!
Thanks, James!
Oh wow! I'm totally jealous. Even now, we all still love JV back in Detroit. I hope Houston feels the same way!
I should add in I'm hitting 7 state high points including those in NJ, CT, MA, and an amusing one in RI. I'm doing one thing for work with colleagues at the University of Connecticut, but then also doing the Cliff Walk in Newport, RI and the one major sports hall of fame I haven't been to (basketball in Springfield, MA). I've set up a strict itinerary, but I'm psyched to get after this Alaska-style. :)
You sure know how to pack in those trips! We're definitely impressed! The basketball hall of fame sounds fun! Give Hakeem a high five for me!
We saw Verlander deal 8 vintage innings the other night! Besides a first inning rocket off the bat of Jose Ramirez he really shut them down! Houston definitely misses JV. They'll need him later this year
If I can reach Hakeem! :)
A complete game victory with a token home run in the 1st inning? That absolutely is vintage JV. For almost 13 years, Verlander performances like that were as much a reason to live in Michigan as Mackinac Island, Buddy's Pizza, and no toll roads. It's tough seeing the Mets uniform on him, but I guess he was always going to do the New York thing. Just glad he's not a Yankee!
Ha fair enough!
Yeah he was always prone to giving the odd homer! I was bummed he went to the Mets, but would’ve been real frustrated if it was the Yankees too!
Great video content and editing! With good music too. 🥂
Thanks, Danny!
Looks amazing & beautiful 😍 thanks for sharing! Glad everyone made it safe!
Thanks for making this video. You guys are amazing. The sceneries are indescribable. It is on my list for my first time coming back after more than 30 years I left Vietnam.
Laughed so hard at "it's extreme!!" Thanks for sharing everything!!
😂😂
Thanks, Carter!
Love you guys xxx
Finally had the time to try and catch up with you. Really enjoyed this part of the adventure.... so Thanks for taking us along. Until next time... Travel safe.
As always you put out the best travel videos. The videography is incredible! Love the enthusiasm and positivity. Your channel is educational and informative and very helpful when it comes to travel planning. Keep up the great work, it’s appreciated.
Thank you so much! We're glad we could help in any way! Thanks for watching, Jennifer!
Amazing! Thank you for sharing your trip. Vietnam is beautiful.
Glad Adam and your guide were not hurt.
My husband and I ride and it can be dangerous.
Love your videos and all the content and information you share wherever you’re traveling ❤
We were very lucky it was so minor! Thank you and thanks for watching!
