You know that feeling when you’ve been researching a place for weeks and staring at all the instagram photos taken there and then suddenly, you’re slap bang in the middle of it all and feelings of happiness, excitement and joy just seeps out of your pores. I had this experience in Sapa in Vietnam. The lush rolling green hills, the small adorable family huts, tribal people walking around wearing their traditional dress… this place was like something out of a fairytale. The culture here was so free and open. Especially the children. We had 5 of them taking us around the valleys and we stopped at a waterfall. While I’m clinging on for dear life while we climb rocks to get there, I had 8 years old bouncing from rock to rock around me and bodyslam themselves into the pool below the waterfall. I stood there dazed and realised these children have no fear. The work ethic here amongst the adults and children is inspiring. They work relentlessly day and night to provide for their family meaning that the children also help out with younger siblings and work around the house. However, this magical place is becoming a target for tourism and with tourism comes the big fancy hotels, the pollution and the constant badgering from people selling their products and services. The roads are all dug up and really treacherous and the town itself is currently a building site. I felt like Sapa’s days of natural beauty and peace are numbered. I tried to shut out the constant drilling and enjoy the place for what it is and thank my lucky stars that I got to experience this place before tourism really takes over…

North of Vietnam is the remote and sleepy town of Sapa; famed for its rice fields, impressive mountains and humbling homestays. After a glorious 12 hour bus journey from Hanoi, I arrived in Sapa just as the day was about to begin. I was greeted by a handful of local ladies waiting at the bus stop, each one competing for tourists and travellers to stay with the allure of authentic cuisine, homemade accessories and a trek around the fields and mountains.

I was persuaded to join a lady known as Yen who brought me to her home and introduced me to her family. After an exquisite meal which had meat that I was too scared to ask what animal it was, it was time for our trek. Yen gave me a pair of wellies for our nature trek even though I insisted that my flip flops would be just as effective. About 2 hours into the trek, I went barefoot but then a black snake slithered passed and I promptly put them back on.

Exploring Sapa through the trek give me an insight into the world of rice farmers and I met many friendly locals on the way offering water and food (for a price of course). Jumping across water streams, pole-vaulting with bamboo shoots and balancing on narrow pathways made the whole experience feel similar to an assault course with the price being a hammock to fall asleep in.

I only stayed for a few days though I could have happily spent a week, it was the perfect retreat from noisy Hanoi and felt like a world inside a world.
