Hanoi-Hue
Hanoi - Hue 5N4D Car Trip
————————————-
Another 40.5 year old aunt with the story: First time doing it😊
Before now, I have read many articles about car trips from South to North, from North to South, but I have never seen a review of women driving by themselves/women driving alone, so this aunt boldly shares her experience of traveling the Hanoi - Hue route for women, ladies, please refer to it 😁
Like a dream, during the 4/30/2025 holiday, the old aunt just had a trip to Hanoi - Hue with nearly 2000km of travel in 5N4D, it was wonderful, no wonder people love traveling more and more!!!
