  • Our next big challenge - Motorbikes through Vietnam! Today - The Ha Giang Loop! After seeing the Top Gear Vietnam special we HAD to give it a go - Join us as we undertake Vietnam from the North (Hanoi) to the South (Ho Chi Min) and all there is to discover in between!
    We'll take you from beginning to end as we rent motorbikes, swap motorbikes, talk about prices and create a mind blowing route fit for a king (even though we only have one month!)
    This is a travel challenge we've dreamed of doing for such a long time and we're absolutely buzzing to be back on the road and pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones! In episode one we'll be taking you around the Ha Giang loop - a popular route in the far northern part of Vietnam where the scenery will blow your chops off!
    So strap in lads... it's going to be a wild ride!
    This video was shot in the month of June 2022.

      this is sooo exciting! guys, i just did the same thing, but Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi, last month. Avoid the coast down south, it's too busy with trucks and many many police controls, they can be a bit sketchy. PLUS, the mountains following the border down to Ho Chi Minh are insanely gorgeous, and the little villages very remote and special!

      @@kingingit Howdy! 1 quick question, would make me happy to hear an answer!
      But I'm planning a trip to either Vietnam or Thailand for 1 month, and I really am confused about which one will be more fun for me.
      - I'm not into clubs, parties, bars, nightlife, restaurants, chilling 24/7 on the beach, etc.
      - I'm into tropical landscapes, nature, attractions, sea, ziplines, water sports, animals, diving (open to fill types of attractions, and maybe even a little extreme, such as diving with sharks and such), etc.
      Which one you think will be better for me?

    "Doing this for everybody that's got anxiety that wants to try to beat it" --- you go girl. I have wicked anxiety and you are such an inspiration. Confirming what I already wanted to believe...anxiety is a nuisance, but doesn't have to hold you back when it's worth facing it to do something.

    Nice job everyone. My wife and I did a Vespa tour in Italy recently with the thought that we would each take turns driving or have our own to drive. When we were doing the little test drives before starting out Karen did not feel like she could safely drive one since she had never driven anything like it and it seemed like her hands wanted to do the opposite of what was necessary. So I drove and it was more natural for me since I had a motor bike growing up and she enjoyed riding behind. So kudos to you Aimee for even taking all this on. You have inspired lessons in the future though. Blessings for a smooth, safe, and fun journey.

Driving bikes for the first time in the type of traffic found in Hanoi is truly a trial by fire 🔥

    10 years almost to the day that we completed the same trip, so weird seeing it all again. I remember visiting the same motorbike shed, back then they didn't hire bikes that I remember of and ended up buying a Suzuki from another place. Glad to see that you brought gloves, I didn't understand till a few days in and my hands looked like roast chicken 😳.
    Vietnam, was probably one of the best adventures of my life, thanks for bringing it all back.
    So much to see but hope you get to see and spend time out at sea in Halon Bay and perhaps try some climbing or just visit the floating villages. Have fun.

    Aimee, I can’t imagine what hope and encouragement you provide for those living with anxiety. You provide such an example of knowing when to push yourself and when to be gentle with yourself. Sometimes it’s super hard and often it’s messy but you do it and it makes every one of your adventures all the more brilliant. I’ll never see Vietnam, not because of anxiety but because I do NOT do humidity EVER, so this was such great fun to see. I must admit however, this first day has me exhausted so I’m gonna have a sleep on my SOFT mattress.

    Epic start to your adventure. Can't wait for the next episode. Love how no matter where you roam, Amy finds cute dogs 🐕❤️

    I must admit I am completely jealous of the adventure!! So many memories made and challenges conquered!! So many times anxiety rules us instead of us ruling our anxiety. Way to go Aimee!!!
