Vietnam 2026

I'm interested, Francis! I travel a lot as a backpacker and minimalist, mostly by bike but not only... Patricia, 62, from Nice. Looking forward to exchanging tips!

Hi Patricia... I travel on a shoestring too. Do you know Vietnam at all? It’s a country I really like—the people are cool, and I’d love to go back. For my transport plan, I’m looking at Ulysse Voyage from March 10 to 24: 850 € for 16 hours of flight or 1530 € for 11 hours. If you’re interested, we can chat about it. See you soon. Francis

I don’t know Vietnam (yet). In Southeast Asia, I’ve done two bike trips in Thailand and Myanmar. About the timing—might it be a bit late for the heat? What do you think? I’m not familiar with Ulysse; I usually book directly with the airline. I travel minimalist and I’m pretty sporty... A bit of an electric battery!

I just reread your post: only a travel companion?

You’re from Var (83)—we’re neighbors!

Wow, electric vibes!!.. I usually travel solo, but for this trip, I took a trip to Iran and met a woman, and we traveled together—it was really nice, so I wanted to do it again. Traveling with a guy, though? Never been tempted.

Yeah, I’m from the Var, the most beautiful département in France😊, La Seyne-sur-Mer exactly. It’s not the prettiest city in France, 🤪 but I like it here. Let me know which company you’re booking with—I’m interested if you’ve got a good deal. I’ll order my tickets by the end of the week for my part.

The Alpes-Maritimes aren't bad either, with mountains for hiking or skiing on top of that... I also wanted to go to Iran with a buddy. Too late now.

Iran, yes, it’s such a shame—I would’ve gladly gone back, but for now, it’s a no-go for quite a while. I think it was one of my most beautiful trips. I lived in Nice a long time ago when I was young and handsome😊. I used to go skiing in Isola back then. Nowadays, I’m retired and taking it easy, but I still tinker a bit on my computer.

What about you?

I’ve noted yours—here’s my email: francis.benkhelil@gmail.com

I also ski in Isola, but I prefer Auron. I’m still working as a firefighter.

With the firefighters? 👍 So you save lives and put out fires… no big deal 😄 I get it now when you say you’re electric—you’re always on the go, huh?.

Yes, still!

I feel like you might be a little tired, Let’s stay in touch and let me know about your travel plans. Maybe if the dates work out, we can meet up there. Have a great evening. See you soon, Francis

Okay, let's get in touch by email. Have a good evening

Yes....have a good evening, see you later!
