What About Vietnam - S3-25 - One teenagers views on a holiday in Vietnam

When planning a trip with a family, we are always looking for places that will be of interest to the “whole” family. However, sometimes the late teen in the family is not always as enthusiastic as the rest of the clan.

If you are thinking about bringing your family to Vietnam and not sure if Vietnam will hit the button for children, in particular your teen son or daughter, you might be pleasantly surprised by the views of one such teenager who visited Vietnam with me in 2019. 

Ethan Sanders is my guest and just also happens to be my grandson. Yes. Believe it or not as I was a young mum it shouldn’t have come as any surprise to be a young grandmother. I consider myself truly blessed.

Ethan was 16 when he came to visit me in Vietnam on one of my trips. 2 years on from that visit, Ethan and I chat about some of the activities he counts as most memorable and he thoughtfully gives up some advice for future travellers who just happen to be teenagers as well. 

Find out what Ethan found initially most challenging?

Discover the “thing” you thought your child may never do at home, but will try in Vietnam?

Learn if he would go back to Vietnam as an adult.

What activity did Ethan find so hilarious doing with me on the trip?

Vietnam is extremely kid friendly. It is a very safe environment and you won’t need to go far to find lots of activities kids of all ages will love. From adventure, safari parks, trekking, lantern making, fantasia and theme parks. The culture alone is intoxicating and if the hotel pools and beaches don’t allure them with waters sports. Nothing will.

I hope you enjoy this one, as this one is for the teens we love making memories with.

The beach cafe we checked out in An Bang is called - Soul Kitchen. A big local favourite of mine.
The hotel we stayed in HCMC - Also  great value and ideally located in District 1 - Au Lac Charner Hotel
