I’ve secretly been trying something new—making short videos! I used to avoid the camera because I was camera shy (and I hate my voice), but really, who cares? So, without further ado, I present a video of me. It’s from about a month back, when I was tubing in Vang Vieng, Laos.
“Tubing in Laos” is one of those things you hear about for ages and then when you actually see and do it, it’s completely what you expected—only better. This was one of my first days in Vang Vieng (and the only day I actually rented a tube). It doesn’t actually capture what happens there, but whatever, you can deal.

Ugg I was NOT a fan of Vang Vieng. It epitomized everything I hate about backpacking.
And of course you DID pass the camera to someone on dry land before you set off down that river, yes? ;)
Nice little clip. Your voice seems fine, but the sound was extremely muffled/could barely hear it. I too hope to dabble in some short vlog posts but have to learn a few technicals first.
Dunno Adam… this whole tubing thing – watching your video I suddenly had a secret wish for alien monster alligators or Mad Max freaks popping out the water or jungle. Nothing personal of course.- watching your video I suddenly had a secret wish for alien monster alligators or Mad Max freaks popping out the water or jungle. Nothing personal of course.
Vang Vieng is definitely one of those guilty pleasure stops that you want to be too good for (and some people are of course) but I totally wasn’t. I loved every second of it. Did you by any chance try a “crazy shake”?:)
Yeah, Vang Vieng is definitely a guilty pleasure. But it doesn’t have to be a bad thing.
And I’ll say this, I did have one of those typical bad-backpacker nights in VV—probably not the wisest decision I’ve made but a good story nonetheless.
