Apps
Make sure you have these downloaded to make your trip go smoothly.
My favorite app for affordable and easy-to-use e-sim data.
Airalo
Order food and groceries, call a taxi, etc. You can't go to Vietnam without this.
Grab. The Everyday Everything App
Looking to learn or touch up on your basic Vietnamese? I've been using a Preply tutor for 1.5 years and have been increasing my Vietnamese vocabulary at a consistent pace. I love this online tutoring platform.
Preply

Clothing
Đà Lạt weather is cooler than most regions in Vietnam (and southeast Asia, for that matter). Make sure to pack some cold-weather gear.

For the ladies out there, my fiance has been wearing lululemon and it's the best combination of comfort, warmth and breathability. Still recommended to get a proper raincoat but this is definitely a great option for general leisurewear as well!

Gear
For foodies and travel creators out there, make sure you are prepped to capture all the sweet footage you need.
I love using my metas to capture footage while I'm riding on my motorcycle because the roads are really scenic. I also like to capture POV shots of me ordering food and eating food. It's a really easy way to capture basically anything as a content cr...

Đà Lạt is SCENIC so you want to capture as much footage as you can. You can get some awesome shots of the roads and landscapes with a GoPro and a good mount for either yourself of your motorbike.
