How to travel the world on $30 a day. I quit my job, sold my car, gave everything away so I could travel the world. This series is about traveling the world with tips, tricks and travel hacks plus funny stories that hopefully will teach you a thing or two as well.
I traveled for 12 months on $12,000 – through 17 countries, 4 continents with only one backpack and a camera bag.
This video is about how to travel and the best things to do in Mui Ne Vietnam as well as what do to when your backpack is almost stolen. This video also shows what to do while visiting the Mui Ne sand dunes and the Mui Ne Fairy Springs (really called the Fairy Stream.)
Thanks for traveling the world with me…

you are such a badass! lmao Your videos make me feel more confident about traveling alone.
Thank you so much, Karina! That is exactly why I am making them – I want everyone to see that they can do it too!
Lindsay Mc I just subscribed to you and I must say your channel is so informative, and inspirational. To travel on your own is amazing, thnx for sharing with us!!
Me too!! I’m planning to travel to Vietnam in a few months and here I am ready to block a bus door if they don’t give me my bag ?
Or dare them to leave by laying in front of the bus 🙂
so basically in a foreign country when people come up to you all excited and they want to interact or engage with you there is a scam a price a cost or generally possibly a robbery that they’re trying to pull you over on excellent thank you I am very friendly and that can get me in trouble
Hey Sam, thanks for your comment! Not always when someone is super friendly are they trying to scam you – most people are wonderful and just amazingly welcoming as their nature. Meeting new, friendly people is one of the greatest things about traveling so please don’t be suspicious but do be aware that some people do not always have the best intentions. It’s a balance 🙂
Okay I understand that I guess I guess I am just so damn friendly and hitchhiking all over the United States was opened up to by mostly everyone that picked me up it was awesome they would take me back to their houses give me a place to stay and tell me their life story tell me their fears and their worries and their pain their losses and their regrets and their Good Times and the good things in their life it was a long long trip
Sometimes I rattle on and on butt what I meant to say was I will try harder to balance being super friendly and being very cautious it can be difficult but it can be done
Yes! Exactly! Hitchhiking and staying with people in their homes have been some of my best experiences too, it’s definitely better that way. I would say be open at first (as we were in the video and you are naturally) but be alert in case someone wants to use your openness to their advantage. You got it! I’m excited for your trip! 🙂
I am very sorry for your bad experience when visiting my country, most of those scammers are illiterate, they don’t really have a job and try to make quick bucks out of tourists. Please don’t hate us and keep visiting us next time for we have so many things to offer.
Love
+rangga makaleo you’re stupid, you son of a dog!
Thieves are thieves.
No need to insult his Mum. Shame on you.
Nothing to do with illiterate, or uneducated. Even university educated people try to scam westerners in one way or another. It’s a way of life. And you know it.
you are such a badass oh my god, this gives me so much confidence.
YES! Thank you so much, Mariam! You got this 🙂
If someone had tried to steal my backpack like that ~ I would have been so devastated ~ but she just blew it off like it was nothing.
Alls well that ends well, I guess 😉 Thanks for watching!
How do you not have thousands of subscribers? You have a likeable personality and good editing
Thanks so much, George! Slowly growing 🙂
Lindsay Mc Best of luck for that!!
Greetings from India!
I get so mad seeing that footage! x@ I’m glad you captured their stupid faces though
Alls well that ends well 🙂 Thanks for watching and happy travels!
I think I’d pass on Vietnam. People seem a little sketchy but hey that’s kind of to be expected. You’re way more of a badass then I’ll ever be
+Lindsay Mc thanks for the response. I’m really considering traveling Europe. Do you have any places off the beaten path in that area that are musts to visit?
Tucker Ecke Maybe you should go to Thailand because white pervs love going their to sleep with children and hookers.
Tucker Ecke Europe and all of Asia have scams …. Just have your wits about you …..
ahhh lindsay ur such a boss. teach me how to backflip!
LOL! B!!! So good to see you on here – LBC back flipping STAT 🙂
It’s so great that you stood up for yourself!! Some people see a female, a blonde and think that they can take advantage of her. You showed DON’T TAKE CRAP FROM NO ONE. IN TRAVELS OR IN LIFE <3
Haha thanks! Don’t take no gruff 😉
Dang these scamming people are making it so people don’t want to visit.
Lord Sith Lego nooo! Go! There is good and bad everywhere, don’t miss out on something amazing just because of its challenges 🙂
girl you are amazing I rate you it’s not easy to travel on your own you actually inspired me to do it ☺
Thank you so much, Jiji! Hope you have an amazing time!
They don’t care about your bag because they were too lazy to pull out all the other bags to find yours. I am glad you fought for it. Those bastards understood you but pretended they don’t understand. My suggestion is toss that shirt you are wearing. After what they did to you, that’s the least you can do.
On behalf of humanity and Vietnam, I am glad you got your backpack. Most people will try to scam you at every turn.

A one off to visit country, that’s why people are more likely to visit Thailand over and over again because they are not just friendly but 100 times safer as well.
Mai Maitho – I totally agree. I’ve been to Thailand nine times. They are very honest even most taxi drivers. I found Cambodians and Vietnamese aggressive with bartering and obsessed with trying to rip me off. As a result I did little to no shopping at all
After returning to Vietnam about 10 times as a “Việt Kiều”, I would say that Vietnam is a country of scammers. When you are out in the street you got scammed by other people. When you’re at home then you got scammed by your own relatives. The relatives often come by (as a visit) and then demand some money. I have an uncle that actually lectured me so that I will provide him with some kind of regular support money. His lecture was based on the Asian concept of “respect the elders”. Other relatives always had a sob story like so-and-so just had an accident and badly in need of money. Or so-and-so need support so that he/she can finish school. From my experience, scamming to the Vietnamese was a way to prove that they’re not naive – but instead, you are!
That said, I also have met people who are hard working, honest, spiritual an above all fun to be with.
I had that happened to me years ago too! But I was only 15 so I didn’t care but your story gave me memories. I didn’t even understand why he was giving me a lecture but then again at that age I didn’t care.
Scott L what you said I completely agree with you 100 percent, because the very same thing you stated also runs rampant in the Hmong community as well. I went back to Laos to visit my Grandma. Next thing I know the whole entire village came to see me. And every single one of them claims to be related to my Grandma in some way. First thing they ask is for money to support their starving children, or they need to buy this and buy that. Complete craziness!!
Most of them are thieves with hate for foreigners. Be alert and ready for a fight. Carry a weapon or pepper spray.
stab them
Carry a weapon then the corrupt cops get involved and you’ll end up paying much more
I had this happen to me in Hanoi. The bus actually started to pull off and I had to run to the front and start beating on the door. Driver got off and opened a different undercarriage door and there it was.
I don’t necessarily think they were trying to steal my bag, cause he could have possibly drove off unless I blocked the bus or something. But do be careful riding these buses. They rush you off and pack it up and leave very fast so make sure you locate your bag immediately after getting off.
Luckily I had seen this video before I went and was alert when I needed to be. So thank you! Losing my bag would have totally ruined my trip
