Hi, I’m Nikki. I started this website in 2008 after my first solo backpacking trip to Asia. A trip that changed my life. My vision was to create a travel diary for everyone – a place for all travellers to share their experiences. After living in Southeast Asia for over 10 years, I saw the opportunity to provide backpackers with the kind of experiences that I’d treasured myself in the region.
I did the bike tour on my first day in Hanoi and it was a great way to explore the city and make some sense of the hectic roads and junctions! The tour guides were great and helped us to expertly navigate our way through the Old Town and the city. We travelled much further then would ever have been possible by foot which gave us a greta chance to really explore the area. Along the way we were treated to a variety of snacks, fresh fruits and ice cold drinks – the perfect chance to refuel before hopping back on the bikes! We had a fantastic morning and would highly recommend this experience to fellow travellers. We completed a series of tours and experiences with Friends Travel Vietnam during our time in Hanoi and we really cannot speak highly enough of them. A fantastic company that really does care about providing high quality and tailored experiences for all.
