Bánh Mì Hunter: Episode 3 🥖🇻🇳

This episode started before we ever found the bánh mì.

It started because I talked to a stranger in my hotel lobby. 😂

That’s it.

No plan.

No introduction.

Just two people who happened to be standing in the same place at the same time.

He was from China. 🇨🇳

I’m from America. 🇺🇸

A few minutes later…

We were friends.

And naturally, I recruited him for the most important mission currently happening in Vietnam:

Finding the best bánh mì in the country. 🥖😭

So off we went.

Two strangers from opposite sides of the world…

Walking through Vietnam together…

Judging sandwiches like our lives depended on it.

This is why I’ll always talk to strangers when I travel.

You never know when a random hello in a hotel lobby turns into a new friend…

And a new friend turns into another ridiculous side quest.

The bánh mì was the mission.

But somehow…

The friendship became the better story. 🌍🤍

Bánh Mì Hunter Episode 3.

The hunt continues. 🥖🕵️‍♂️

People are going to judge you either way.

first follow Ethan Content | Adventure Travel for more travel related content

Stay home?

They’ll judge you.

Leave everything behind and travel the world?

They’ll judge you.

Play it safe?

Someone will say you’re wasting your life.

Take a massive risk?

Someone will tell you you’re delusional.

So eventually you have to make a decision.

You can spend your life trying to become someone other people approve of...

Or you can realize they’re going to talk regardless and start building a life you actually want to live.

Go after the ridiculous goal.

Book the flight.

Start the business.

Make the video.

Take the side quest.

Fail publicly.

Try again.

Become so obsessed with experiencing everything this life has to offer that other people’s opinions become background noise.

That’s lifemaxxing. 🌍

Not proving the haters wrong.

Not arguing with them.

Not convincing them to understand you.

Just living so fully that eventually...

They have no choice but to watch you succeed.

Your life belongs to you.

Don’t hand the controller to someone sitting in the audience. 🎮🌎

I think I found the most wholesome viral café in Hanoi. 🇻🇳☕️

first follow Ethan Content | Adventure Travel for more travel related content

It’s called The Note Coffee.

And basically...

Thousands of strangers from around the world have covered this place in tiny handwritten notes. 📝🤍

The walls.

The tables.

The stairs.

Almost every inch of the café.

Some are funny.

Some are completely random.

Some are love letters.

Some are messages to complete strangers who might need to hear them.

And that’s what made this place so cool to me.

People come from completely different countries...

Speaking different languages...

Living completely different lives...

And leave a tiny piece of themselves behind for the next person to find. 🌍

You could come here for the coffee.

You could come because it’s viral.

But I think the real reason to visit is to slow down and actually read the walls.

Somewhere inside this little café in Hanoi...

A stranger probably wrote exactly what another stranger needed to hear that day.

And I think that’s pretty beautiful. 🤍

Of course...

I had to leave a note of my own.

+1 Peace Propaganda. 🌏☮️

I saw a group of complete strangers making a TikTok...

So naturally...

I asked if I could join. 😂

I didn't know them.

They didn't know me.

I had absolutely no idea what they were filming.

But they said yes.

And then...

This happened. 😭😂

This is exactly why I love traveling.

Sometimes the best memories start with walking up to complete strangers and asking one slightly ridiculous question.

No planning.

No introduction.

Just:

"Can I join?"

A few seconds earlier, we'd never met.

A few minutes later, we're making a video together like we've been friends for years.

That's basically what side questing the world has become for me.

See something interesting.

Say hello.

Accept the side quest.

Figure out the rest afterward. 🌍😂

The world becomes a lot more fun when you're willing to talk to strangers.

Today was a really special day. ❤️🇻🇳

I spent the entire day filming my Hanoi, Vietnam Travel Guide for YouTube.

Yesterday, I made a post looking for a local to help me film. After sorting through a couple of… let’s just say interesting people 😂, I ended up meeting such an amazing local who spent the day helping me create this video.

Today we filmed 7 of the 11 locations:

📍 Street near Bánh Mì 25 (Intro)
🥖 Bánh Mì 25
🚆 Train Street
🌅 Hoàn Kiếm Lake
🍜 Bún Chả Hương Liên
🍕 Pizza 4P’s (The Big One)
🌃 Tạ Hiện Street (Old Quarter at Night)

We’ve got 4 more locations to finish tomorrow, and I genuinely think this is going to be one of the best travel guides I’ve ever made.

The best part wasn’t even the filming.

At Train Street, I jokingly “took over” one of the cafés and announced I’d buy a drink for the first person willing to sit down and chat with me.

About 30 people politely said no. 😂

Then an Italian traveler who had already walked away came back, sat down, and shared a world-famous Vietnamese egg coffee with me in one of the most iconic spots in Hanoi. 🇮🇹☕🇻🇳

Those are the moments I’ll remember forever.

I’m eternally grateful to the Vietnamese people for the kindness, hospitality, and warmth you’ve shown me since I arrived.

I honestly don’t know what I did to deserve so much love, but I’ll never take it for granted.

Vietnam doesn’t just feel like somewhere I’m visiting anymore.

It genuinely feels like my second home. 🏠❤️🇻🇳

Is anyone in Hanoi and available today after 3:00 PM? 🇻🇳

I need someone to help me film a YouTube video for a few hours, and I’ll pay you for your time. 😁

If you’re interested, send me a private message or comment with your availability. No filming experience is required just be reliable and I can show you how to use the camera.

By the way, I just want to say I absolutely love the people of Hanoi. ❤️ You guys have been so kind and welcoming to me, and I’m really grateful for all the amazing experiences I’ve had here.

Hope to meet some of you today! 🇻🇳🎥

I accidentally found one of Hanoi’s best budget travel hacks. 🇻🇳🏡

first follow Ethan Content | Travel Content Creator for more travel related content

Right in the heart of the Old Quarter.

Walk outside…

And you’re already in the middle of everything.

The crazy part?

It normally goes for around $30 a night.

But because there’s construction nearby and it gets noisy during certain hours…

I booked it for just $20 a night. 😳

Honestly…

I’ll take a little noise if it means saving money for more side quests.

That’s one of my favorite parts about budget travel.

Sometimes a tiny compromise gets you an incredible deal.

Less money on the room.

More money for banh mi, coffee, and spontaneous adventures.

I’ll make that trade every single time. 🤍🌍

I wasn’t looking for pizza in Vietnam… 🍕🇻🇳

Then I found Pizza 4P’s.

One bite in…

I completely understood the hype.

The crust.

The fresh homemade cheese.

The ingredients.

Everything tasted like it had a reason to be there.

I’ve eaten pizza in a lot of countries.

I genuinely didn’t expect one of my favorites to be in Hanoi.

That’s why I love traveling.

Sometimes you fly across the world expecting the local specialty…

And accidentally discover something you weren’t searching for at all.

Safe to say…

Pizza 4P’s just earned a permanent spot on my Hanoi side quest list.

If you’re visiting Hanoi…

Do yourself a favor.

Don’t skip this one. 🤍🍕

Where is the best bánh mì in Vietnam? 🇻🇳

I'm willing to travel anywhere in the country to find it. Also... does anyone know who supplies the bread for Bánh Mì 25?

It was the best bánh mì bread l've ever had.

I need to have a bánh mì with the plug 🔌🥖

🥖 Is this the best bánh mì in Vietnam?

first follow Ethan Content | Travel Content Creator for more travel related content

I’m on a mission to find the greatest bánh mì in the entire country and if I have to cross oceans, ride overnight trains, or travel from one end of Vietnam to the other, I’ll do it.

This stop brought me to Bánh Mì 25 in Hanoi, a place that countless locals and travelers swear by. After taking my first bite, one thing stood out immediately: the bread.

I’ve eaten a lot of bánh mì, but this was easily the best bread I’ve had from any bánh mì shop. It was unbelievably crispy on the outside, light and airy on the inside, and somehow held everything together perfectly.

Now I’m on another mission…

I need to find the bakery that supplies their bread.

If anyone knows who makes the bread for Bánh Mì 25, leave a comment below. I have to try it fresh from the source.

This is just one stop on my journey across Vietnam in search of the country’s ultimate bánh mì. If you know a place that deserves the top spot, let me know—I might be visiting next.
