Running 10km Bridges Fun Run was another amazing experience! Even if I know this route by heart and I could run it with my eyes closed, doing it with 2000 other running freaks took it the next level!

And I got my PB!!!

Thank you for organising another amazing event. You guys are the best!

Seeing the happiest animals of the world again. Rotto never dissapoints💙

📍Ha Giang Loop, Vietnam

400km on the road, 4 days on the bike, 3 nights in different homestays.

What was my biggest hesitation became an unforgettable experience. And to be completely honest, Ha Giang region was the most beautiful place I've ever seen in my life! I would do it all over again a million of times!

And we were so lucky to meet such wonderful people we immedietely clicked with. Imagine this, you head to the meeting point on day one and realise that all your trip mates are Polish! And we met just like that in Vietnam - what are the odds.

Patrycja, Martyna, Sylwia and Piotreks (we had four boys with the same name lol) - we loved discovering Ha Giang with you, you were the best companion we could wish for🙏

🇻🇳 Train Street, Hanoi

Was it worth it? In my humble opinion — absolutely yes
!

The famous Train Street has such a unique vibe. Even though it’s become a popular tourist spot, it still feels authentic, and seeing a train pass just centimetres away from the cafés is truly unforgettable. Trains run a few times a day, and while the schedule changes daily, the café owners will happily tell you when the next one is coming.

There’s no entrance fee — everyone simply grabs a coffee, food, or a beer at one of the eateries and waits for the train to roll through. Yes, it’s a bit pricier than other parts of Hanoi, but it would be a shame not to experience the hype at least once while you’re here.
Is it unsafe with the train running so close to the tables? It can be — but just minutes before the train arrives, café owners move the tables away and make sure everyone stands at a safe distance from the tracks.

Do people actually live in the buildings along the railway? Yes, they do!

Have you already visited Hanoi? If not, here is a little preview of what to expect:
Delicious street food
Food sold from the bicycle
Open air barber salon
Millions of motorbikes or scooters
Banh mi, coffee and pho soup 24/7
Lots of history
Colorful architecture
Chaos on the roads
Flags everywhere

What are you choosing?

This is only a little teaser of what is happening at my end right now! More to come after I return to Australia.

But what are the odds! You are booking a trip in Vietnam and realise that your trip mates are Polish and all boys have the same name!

Ha Giang Loop trip was AMAZING and I would definitely do it again! Four days went by just like that but we made so many memories that will last forever 🩷

Thank you for making this trip unforgettable! We will post more photos later🙏
