A journey of nearly 4,000 km
Joy and excitement are the permanent emotions during the trip of this girl born in 1999. Happy because they are fulfilling their dreams, excited and looking forward to conquering new lands, discovering local cultures that are far from where they live.
The experience of driving a motorbike for hundreds of kilometers a day is far from a short trip or a resort trip. Trang still feels lucky because there were no unexpected incidents even though she was quite tired at times and suddenly fell asleep.
“I’m glad that the weather ‘supports’ this trip. The destinations I visit are all beautiful and sunny,” Trang shared.
The girl is most impressed when going through the South Central Coast because of its wild beauty, clear blue sea and long, romantic sandy beaches.

During the trip, Trang stayed in Binh Thuan the longest and spent a lot of time exploring Phu Quy – an island about 120 km from the mainland. Trang knew the island district through a Vietnamese movie and dreamed of coming here.
“Phu Quy does not disappoint me from the natural scenery, food and drink to people. The people of the fishing village do tourism and treat guests very enthusiastically,” Trang said about her first impression here.
To go to the island, visitors can only take a boat from Phan Thiet port. Trang chooses a high-speed train with the price of 350,000-400,000 VND/ticket, traveling in 2.5 hours. Because the island is far from the shore, the girl advises tourists to find out the weather carefully before the trip to avoid rough sea days. Because she had no experience, Trang herself experienced a feeling of seasickness when she left the island at the right time of “big waves”.
Female tourists visit and check in many places on the island such as slopes, sovereign flagpole, Ganh Hang, Linh Son pagoda, Lang Co embankment, wind power fields, Trieu Duong bay…
