Solo Travel: From Saigon to Siem Reap


My heart was pounding and all I could think was, "This is it. I'm really gonna do this." And so I did. I ended up booking a flight from Manila to Ho Chi Minh City and a flight from Siem Reap to Manila. After weeks of hesitating and (sort of) planning, I had made up my mind. I had decided to solo travel for 11 days.

There was something about being alone in a country I had never been to. It was frightening yet exciting. I thought 11 days would be too long, but on my last day I wished I didn't have to leave so soon.
This is just a short video of my 11-day trip, but I'll be writing a couple of more detailed entries and I'll be posting longer videos for Vietnam and Cambodia. You may also check out this entry on sample budget and itinerary if you're planning to visit Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City and Siem Reap.

This solo trip was already 3 months ago!!! Time has been flying by so fast. I have two more trips lined up this year. Going to Bali next week and Thailand for Loy Krathong in November!  How about you? Where are you off to next? :)
