Traveling in Vietnam

I can still remember the first time that I traveled alone due to unforeseen circumstances. I was supposed to visit Vietnam with my mom but she couldn’t leave work for a week. The reason that I’m going to Vietnam at first was to take the IELTS exam but I didn’t know that this opportunity will lead me to the greatest adventure of my life. I originally stayed there for more than a week, but I will show in this itinerary how to explore the best things in Vietnam for 4 days.
