A Guide to Taking a Gap Year in Vietnam
Popular Locations
Are scattered tropical islands more your thing or is steamy street food stalls between sky-high office buildings? Check out these beautiful places in Vietnam.
Halong Bay. Take a boat across the emerald waters through a maze of limestone-faced islands. Adventure gappers revel in the opportunity for escaping the main port of high-rise speckled Halong City by taking a scenic boat cruise or island hopping over to Lan Ha Bay. Googling pictures yet? Please do. Halong Bay is the perfect gapper getaway to refresh your mind and invigorate your spirit.
Hoi An. This coastal city is a revitalizing blend of ancient melting pot architecture and snaking water canals with a surprising lack of modern day automobile traffic and pollution—perfect for lackadaisically snapping photos of its famous lanterns or helping a community project in need. Hoi An is a perfect gap year destination for anyone looking to have a relaxed time abroad amongst the rice fields and beaches while still having good access to WIFI.
Ho Chi Minh. Ho Chi Minh City is buzzing with industrial and culture evolution. Formerly known as Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City is an ideal location for any gapper looking to be welcomed by friendly locals, pick up a new language (Vietnamese is pretty easy grammatically and there are handfuls of gap year language programs in Vietnam), and teach others how to speak and write English. If you are a history nut, definitely check out the Vietnam war museums.
