Back Packing through Vietnam

body of water, water, coastal and oceanic landforms, sea, mountain, Vietnam is experiencing a massive boom in popularity among visitors from all over the world, and many couples are choosing to explore this exotic land. In many areas, poverty is a harsh reality and remote areas have little to absolutely no modern infrastructure whatsoever, never mind an ATM; running water is a luxury and electricity is non-existent. But the people are incredible, the scenery is breathtaking and the experience will define you as people.

Do not expect any 5-star luxuries: expect a language barrier, heat and humidity, expect local transport issues and no tourist infrastructure at all. Buy your meal from a floating barge or sidewalk vendor in the middle of the city, but as you venture out into the more rural areas, you will need to just go with the flow.

Perfect for an adventure of note – it will test your problem-solving skills and your new spouse and yourself will be able to have an opportunity to work together if things go wrong. It could be great, a completely life-altering experience, or a total disaster. But is not an extreme honeymoon for nothing.

Then sleep under the stars at night after making camp on the river banks, eat a meal prepared over an open fire and drink ice cold frothy beer right out of a metal cup. Nothing like a little rustic romance, camping and adventure sports as the perfect start to a marriage.
