🇻🇳 Ho Chi Minh City — First Stop of the OPTVLOGS Journey!

Date: 02 June 2025 | Time: 7:00 AM

Welcome to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam! As the sun rises over this vibrant city, the OPTVLOGS overland journey officially begins. Known for its electric energy, rich history, and mouthwatering street food, Ho Chi Minh City is the perfect launchpad for an unforgettable solo adventure across Asia.

We begin our day in the heart of the city, ready to dive into the chaos and charm that defines southern Vietnam. With a backpack, a camera, and curiosity, our goal is to explore beyond the tourist maps — to find real stories, meet locals, and experience the raw beauty of life on the road.

🛺 What We’re Exploring Today:

Bến Thành Market — For street bargains and a taste of local hustle. 🛍️
War Remnants Museum — A powerful and emotional walk through Vietnam's modern history. 🏛️
Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica — Iconic colonial architecture in the heart of District 1. ⛪
Saigon Street Food — From sizzling bánh xèo to flavorful phở, the nightlife tastes amazing. 🌃
Vietnamese Coffee Culture — Cafés with rooftop views and the strong scent of cà phê sữa đá. ☕

Each location offers a different perspective on the city — its past, its people, and its pulse. As a solo traveler, it’s about more than sightseeing. It’s about connection — with culture, with locals, and with the journey itself.
