Vietnam Travel
Hi everyone! Semi-beginner solo traveler here. I already have my reservations made for my upcoming Vietnam trip and wanted to hear from people who’ve traveled there before.
How did you prepare for avoiding food poisoning or stomach issues? I absolutely love Vietnamese cuisine here in the States and how fresh everything is, but I’m a little hesitant about how my stomach will handle raw veggies/herbs that may be washed with local water.
My usual rule of thumb while traveling has been to mostly eat cooked food, but I know that cuts out a huge part of Vietnamese food culture. I’ve been to Mexico, Guatemala, India, and Japan so far without issues, though I usually avoid raw veggies and fruits unless I can peel them myself.
Would love any personal experiences, tips, or things that worked well for you in Vietnam!
