3 types of cross-country travel that are popular with young people

While many people choose to travel across Vietnam by motorbike or bicycle to avoid the hardship, there are those who choose to walk like the deaf boy Vo Huu Phuc (born in 1991). Phuc walked from Ha Giang to Ca Mau, a distance of more than 2,000 km. For Phuc, this trip was quite difficult because his friend encountered many difficulties in communication when he lost his hearing at the age of 7.

Two young men in their twenties, Cao Duc Thai and Le Tien Dung, have been running across Vietnam with the desire to call on everyone to read books to improve the value of each individual in society. The two young men's incredible journey has inspired many young people and since then, more than 200 book clubs have been established at universities and high schools nationwide.

Cross Vietnam by bicycle

Most young people choose to combine traveling across Vietnam through different regions and contributing their efforts to help people in disadvantaged areas. Hai Dang Group is one of the cycling groups across Vietnam that does many volunteer activities such as cleaning up the environment, helping the poor, visiting and burning incense at martyrs' monuments...

Young man Viet Duong (born in 1996) cycled through 63 provinces and cities within 2 months to collect books for poor children in schools. Right after the high school graduation exam ended, Duong came up with the idea for the trip from North to South with the goal of getting 180,000 books to as many children as possible. What is special is that Viet Duong postponed 1 year of university to spend time preparing and carrying out his 18-year-old journey.

Similarly, the bachelor of Economics University of Ho Chi Minh City Ta Quang Minh is an office worker with a dream salary but he quit his job just to cycle through the provinces from South to North. Determined to make a solo bicycle trip called Wings of Dreams, Minh gave more than 80 gifts to primary school students in the provinces he passed through.

Cross Vietnam by motorbike

Riding motorbikes to different regions is a favorite activity of many young backpackers. When they don’t have much time, young people often choose to explore the roads that are almost up to the top of dangerous and little-known mountains. When they have time, every backpacker definitely wants to take a trip around the S-shaped strip of land.

Nguyen Thi Tung, born in 1993, has just completed a trip across Vietnam in 1 month. However, Tung does not want to stop there. Currently, this 21-year-old friend will explore Ho Chi Minh City for 2 months, then return to Hanoi and most likely will be a trip to conquer 3 Indochinese countries in the near future.

Conquering completely new roads alone like Tung is definitely an unforgettable experience in life. Success does not lie in the starting point or the destination, but it is a journey of facing challenges, hardships and even dangers to become more mature.

Journey of determination to overcome challenges

Deciding to give up the opportunity that came to them, young people of the 8X, 9X generations like Duong, Minh, Tung, Phuc... had to face a lot of fierce opposition from their families and friends. The journey across Vietnam certainly did not bring Duong a university degree or a high-paying job for Minh... And it was not to prove anything too big, but this was an opportunity to help many young people become more mature and understand life better.

Everyone has dreams, hopes and beliefs to assert themselves, especially when we are young, those beliefs and desires are stronger than ever. The journeys to explore new lands of the boys and girls mentioned above are concrete evidence of that daring to think and dare to do.

Trips with different purposes but in general contain the fire of enthusiasm and love for the homeland of young people. Trip after trip, there will be many departures that we have not yet known and let's cheer for those meaningful youth journeys.
