Hanoi Train Street
@tamaraknell
The infamous train street. Lots of cute coffee shops sit along the railroad and then when a train comes by they pack up shop in record speed.

French Quarter
@tamaraknell
The fancier part of town. Admire the aesthetic french architecture and high end shops.

Hanoi Opera House
@tamaraknell
A gorgeous building from the outside and even prettier on the inside. If you wanna splurge and see a show go for it! I didn't get the chance but just walking by this building was nice on the eyes.

Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre
@tamaraknell
Delve into some culture and see a water puppet show! You can do this all over Vietnam but Hanoi had lots of options nearby.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Tamara Knell
Available for hire
Originally from LA, I've solo traveled to 56 countries at 27 years old.
Most of my travels have revolved around South East Asia, Central America, Europe, Australia, and South America.
I specialize in budget backpacking and slow travel. I focus my recommendations on adventure activities, nature, cultural experiences, local food, and nightlife.
I've had tons of crazy experiences along my journey that has shaped me into the confident backpacker I am today. I want every person (but women especially!) to feel the joy and freedom that comes from solo traveling.
I'll tell you the good, the bad, and the ugly. I've made tons of mistakes traveling; I've lost my debit card, had medical emergencies, stolen iPhones, and the occasional mental breakdown...or two. Traveling is not always picture perfect so I want to show you all the nitty gritty details to make sure you are THE most prepared for your backpacking adventure.
