    Welcome to What About Vietnam -
    Today we take you one step closer to getting you on your plane to Vietnam all set for a fantastic holiday.
    Today we discuss the “when” to go?
    This is probably one of the most common questions I get asked as a travel blogger. The reason being is….. “its important”.
    Its where you move into that commitment phase and by plotting dates you feel like "this is really going to happen. But have you got it right?

    In the case of Vietnam, the timing of your trip is crucial to ensure you get the experience you want. It's not a “Once size fits all answer, as it depends on the experiences you want to have during your trip, as they can be drastically impacted by the weather, national events, holidays, and even monsoons.
    Let me walk you through 2 factors you need to consider:-

    1. Festivals that can impact your trip
    2. The weather you can expect in each region of North, Central and Southern regions and how that will impact the things you might have planned to do.

    Stay tuned as there is a lot to cover.

    Do you bring your family? Is it safe to travel solo?Iis it okay to bring your elderly parents?
    Or are you thinking of a girl's getaway; A flop and drop romantic breakaway?
    Are you a thrill-seeker? Are you a hiker and intrepid traveler keen to discover caves and find out more about the minority tribes of Vietnam. If you bring the kids will they get bored? Will you be able to eat the food?
