Solo traveler? More like squad goals (Source: Internet)The Mekong Delta is Vietnam’s soul: endless emerald waterways, floating markets at sunrise, bicycle paths through coconut groves, and some of the friendliest people on earth. It’s incredibly safe, super affordable, and naturally social – you’ll never feel alone for long.
