A solo journey through Vietnam

Susan Rogers’s travelogue begins with an unexpected change of plan: she arrives expecting to join a tour group and finds herself travelling alone. From that premise, the book brings together her experiences of Vietnam, encounters with people along the way, and reflections on solo travel. Its personal perspective connects the journey’s cultural observations with the practical reality of navigating a trip independently. The description also signals a range of experiences, including adventure, humour, and sadness. This is travel writing rather than a guidebook, with Vietnam presented through one traveller’s firsthand account.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Travelogue readers interested in Vietnam and its culture
  • People curious about solo travel and personal travel narratives

Book overview

What would you do if you were travelling alone believing that you were joining a tour group for a holiday, only to find that you are the only person in the group? What turned out to be very different holiday from that expected, is shared with warmth and humour.This delightful travelogue in its easy to read style, will not only inspire you to travel solo, but absorb you into the culture and experience of Vietnam.Susan has the rare ability to draw you into her journey, not just physically around Vietnam but also into her private thoughts and feelings as a solo traveller.Adventure, entertainment and sadness are all here, and we feel that we personally know the characters she encounters along the way. This is not a travel guide, although the insights and descriptions from a personal perspective would be a useful addition for any visitor to Vietnam.
