    Why Floating Markets are Solo Travel Magic

    Breakfast on waterBreakfast on water (Source: Internet)

    You wake up at 5 AM.
    You board a small wooden boat with 11 other solo travelers.
    By the time you sip phở from a floating vendor, you already have dinner plans for tonight.

    That's floating market magic.

    70–80 % of Legend Travel Group floating market guests travel solo – meaning the moment you step on the boat, you're already family.
