I Stayed in a Hmong Village Sa Pa Mountains 🇻🇳

- ■ SA PA, VIETNAM: As I stepped off my bus upon arriving in Sa Pa town yesterday I ran into a Hmong woman by the name of Mama Zee who said she runs a home stay in a tiered rice field in the mountains about 4 hours walk from town. I took her contact details and the next day we journeyed through villages and mountain paths to her family home.
Going to the bus station on a daily to find tourists who wants to stay at her Sa Pa Homestay is a time consuming and more often than not futile endeavour. Let's help her grow her social media presence so she can find foreign trekkers and homestay guests more efficiently.

I’m so glad you took this woman up on her offer to go trek
She’s so sweet and hardworking
We loved seeing her and her family.
peoples in her age have no chance to go the school, but the way she speaks is very influently. I would learn from her. love your video.
@@xyzzyx4323 How old is she? If her age was mentioned in the video, I somehow missed that part. She looks like 30-35 yrs old, kinda pretty lady. I enjoyed to listen her stories about living in the mountains. Such a sweet lady ❤
She’s very friendly. Her job matches her personality, she enjoys talking to people. Nice family, everyone is happy
Married !
1:12:10 What a beautiful family. They can still be happy with what they have. These are the kinds of people that deserve the world.
@@Heroesworkshop agree, I wish more people in America could watch the videos to see how easy we have it and maybe they stop whining about frivolous things.
I honestly thought you were about to fall into a tourist trap when you met her at the bus station and I was so wrong. All she wanted was to show you her village and their way of life which is truely beautiful and magic. What a place and so alive. Nature, animals everywhere and all the people are so friendly. They are really living their best life up there. I hope you visit her again some day!
Yep, it's a pretty well known saying not to trust anyone that walks up to you on the street but this just shows how that (not necessarily unwise) pessimism can often lead to you missing out on incredible experiences in life. There's no scam or ill-will involved, just a genuine human being trying to make a living for their family.
Certain cultures have a scam mentality, south-east Asia generally has people who want to just do an honest day's work to make ends meet.
We can all learn from Harald, always give people a chance until they prove otherwise. You can ask about the price in advance and try for a couple days. If you are not happy then stop. For people from small town, there is not many ways to advertise their business, and the best way is to talk to potential customers like she did. Harald is really nice because he doesn’t judge people when he first meets them!!
Over the years I've watched you help countless people and seen how generous you truly are. Not only financially but also with promotion and knowledge. It's a shame that real life and humor has to be edited. The world has gotten too sensitive. I'll watch this every time you have to upload.
❤
Wowow great Family, they are really nice people. And you also ❤
Mama Zee and her family are absolute gems.
Beautiful family - Mama Zee is a warrior goddess. She has what it takes to make the homestead succeed.
Hard working kids.. mine are always on ipad...
@@yourdad7887 They are truly experiencing being alive. This is the way. It teaches.
@@jacksondrake-lost like we were in our generation.. I'm not to old only 35 but there was no mobile back then..so we can relate
@@yourdad7887 You are the dad and in charge to change your kids behaviour !
No matter how many reuploads , we stand with you brother.
That's right!
But not for a 4th time plz
Yeah, what's going on?
right 👍
Skål på det! 🍻
Real people living close to nature. Not an easy life but look at their faces, their smiles. Thank you.
As a 2nd generation Hmong American, it was very interesting watching where I originated from and how life could’ve been for me if we haven’t immigrated to the US during the Vietnam war in 1975.
Thank you for sharing your adventure in SA PA!!
A really interesting comment, thank you.
I know many of your people were settled in Sheboygan Wisconsin. Such a cold place. It would be nice for you to visit your ancestral home.
I wondered why the H'mong always live on the mountain which so hard =not in touch with civilization society
Goin to let this video play on 4 different devices, 4 different accounts, RUclips being unfair. Mama zee, did that whole video with a smile. Amazing family
Harald this is one of your best vlogs, i felt guilty after having a bad day at work until i watched how hard the young lady and her village worked , she was awesome with her knowledge and stamina up and down those mountains, the scenery was wicked, i wish i was able to do it but hey ho too old now. I do hope she will be rewarded , thanks Harald, brilliant vlog.
This is so cool and enjoyed watching. I am Hmong myself. I was born in Laos during the Vietnam War. But living in the U.S. now. Both my parents also came from North Vietnam (migrated into Laos in 1945). Thank you for all your videos.
I’ve been traveling for the past day and just arrived in São Paulo, Brazil and I’m sitting in the lounge right now watching the great Northman.
The "ROOSTER" cover up had me dying 😂😂😂
Team original content xD
And the Weed Plant 😄😄😄
It took me way too long to realize why he did that 🤦♂
I think it even makes it way funnier 😂
Whats the original voice before cover up?
The world needs more people similar as this good heart 10:00 lady and her beautiful family. This is the best Viking channel
Nice video brother..I am Hmong from the USA...Very proud of this sister.
I love that this beautiful Journey started with a random bad bus ride ending, i gotta rewatch Mama Zee's first apearence, she is amazing
I am trying to find that bus ride too!
@@timschwarze4842 it was the beginning of the previous video
@@IchDuForeverExplorering thank you
Harldo putting in the real work and not chillin' in hotels. Keep doing this stuff and you're going to go through the ceiling.
I was in a bad mood when I could not find this video, thank god you reuploaded the video.
she is an amazing person
I have watched all three uploads for the same video. And Mama ZEE makes me cry. How hard working her family is. Just a genuine humble man meeting genuine humble family. Cheers Haraldo even if I don't drink. Thumbs up from Nepal.😁👏👏👍👍
We love it when you go out into remote places like this and talk to normal hard working people. It's so educational and interesting to see different perspectives. Don't give up Northman.
Watching for the third time with gusto, helping making Mama Zee homestay have more visibility. Commendable work Northman, greetings from Guatemala.
So much texture, height, depth, detail, humour. This is the best film you've ever done, visually, affectually, narratively. When you quirkily do a cultural, historical, human-relational deep dive like this, it never grows old. Like a good story, one can watch it again and again. Thank you for this!
Man! This one is the best video. Real life of unknown mountain village.
I'm playing this video on my laptop AND television for 2 views!! Never give up Harald. Cheers from Toronto!
This incredible Northman masterpiece gets better every time I watch it . I suggest everybody watches at least three times minimum . I'm taking the day off just so I can rewatch all day without any distractions to reach a heightened state of Northman Nirvana 🙏
AFEW YEARRS AGO I WATCHED YOU IN VIETNAM I HAD BEEN TO ASIA MANY TIMES BUT NEVER VIETNAM. I WENT A FW TIMES NOW IM GETTING MARRIED TO A GIRL FROM VIETNAM. IM SO HAPPY, IM FROM TEXAS A FEW HOURS FROM WHERE YOU WERE DURING YOUR HOG HUNT. ENJOYED THIS THANKS VIETNAM IS AN AMAZING COUNTRY
Haha
Congratulations on the VN girl- I have a similar story/ she lives with me here in Arizona now.
Hello harald ผมกำลังดูคุณมาเที่ยวซาปา เวียดนาม คุณมาพักโฮมเสตย์ หมู่บ้านชนบทเพื่อศึกษาวิถีชีวิตคนเวียดนาม คุณร่วมอยู่ ร่วมกิน ร่วมกิจกรรมกับเขา ดูเจ้าของบ้านเขาดูแลดีมาก ถึงจะเป็นเวลาสั้นๆแต่คุณได้เรียนรู้อะไรได้มากมายเลย โอกาสหน้าพาเพื่อนมาเที่ยวเยอะๆนะ ผมก็ชอบแบบคุณ okay (fc.thailand)
I was mesmerized by the scenic view of Sa Pa Mountain; it's incredibly peaceful and beautiful. Mama Zee is simply the best; she's remarkably humble, kind, and hardworking.
This is much better than luxurious pubs , bars Vietnamese nightlife in Cities where tourists waste their money. Great experience! Unforgettable memories! Beautiful nature ! Lovely mountains people & their life , full of adventures ! Wow !! Wow !! ❤❤😮 Thank you herold for showing us . 🙏 🤗
If you go to VN
Stay in the cities 2-3 days - then head to the country side. Very sincere people. The real Vietnamese culture is very interesting. Very conservative family oriented.
Yeah, no shit eh. If I'm going on vacation, I want quiet and calm.
She very honest and hardworking woman. She has to walk along way everyday up and down that narrow foothills to get tourists for her home stay business. Such a sweet and beautiful family. Thank you for showing us how life is like in the village🙏
Man… I am a big admirer of your videos Haraldo… No one makes videos as organic as you do, bringing up the stories from any place on earth, no matter which country, how remote…. I can’t express how mind blowing your videos are to me man… And most importantly I love the way you are kind to the animals, help them whatever the way you can, you are kind to everyone you meet on the journey, help them. Keep it up man..
I can’t skip or stop until the end once I start with your videos, no matter my busy schedule, never regret watching…
Well, Harald wasn't lying when he said: "daily uploads will come." 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😁😁😁😁
i can watch this again and again, no matter how many reuploads
Mama Zee shines in this video, it is quite comical all of the issues you have had with this video, maybe that will help it to go viral :D
No, quite the opposite. It has destroyed it's chances completely
@@HaraldBaldr Hopefully we have a few more videos with her on the way - I really enjoy it when you go off the beaten path.
Thank you for Visit Vietnam again, as Vietnamese i feel so heart warming when you released it again, it will help people around the world know more about Viename tribe life. Wish you all the best and success in created content, support Harald all the time. ❤❤❤ from Hanoi
I will support them all Harald I got to know Kumar and his wonderful family because of your videos really nice people even spoke to you from Nepal you work very hard to bring these treasures to us thanks very much keep them coming 😊
I seriously believe that the end of the world could happen and all western countries would collapse. Meanwhile, all the countries that live with and from nature will still be here. I will watch over and over to give support.
The ancient properties in the Bible say this will happen yet even the small nature communities will be made a part of the end government which will be ruled by the powers and all will be made to serve.
@@donbraugh185 your not wrong. It’s according to the Bible. Compiled by the secondary Christian’s counsel, Catholics. I agree with you but I would challenge you to read the apocryphal texts and Samaritan texts. Take a look at the stone wall with the writings. You’ll find that it’s older than what Catholics gave us. Ethiopian Bible. It just makes one think a little bigger of how just how big our God is. I’m not saying I agree with all the older stuff. Just like we as Christian’s don’t follow everything in the Bible. But it broadens your mind and pulls you deeper to your own connection with what you believe who God is. Thx I enjoy these deep conversations if done respectfully.
Yeah, we all greedy plus we will fiend without Internet
@@donbraugh185yes.. Who power and we wikk turn back on then.. I think ite USA people betray USA....
And religious gonna start war when government start taxing on religious. That where people will start war etc... All Religious are rich due no pay tax... One day it's will happens
I'm crying as I remember scenes from my childhood in a rural town in Bengal. So similar to this, now all gone!
Norwegian Gognoster having deep conversations with porks , showing beautiful Vietnamese village .how much a layers and stories are there inside of a person.a simple girl guide on the bus stop,has such a beautiful and a universe of stories and layers behind her❤❤❤
Awesome video Northman. Mamma Zee's smile absolutely lights up the room. What a special lady.
No matter how many re-uploads, we'll keep rewatching!
Least we can do is to lett this video run a few times, on the background. To support Mama Zee👍🏾
We Stand With Heraldo, its been 3 times i watching video. Promoting homestay tourism business by poor family, but got any shameful reaction by youtube algorithm. It just terrible policy by youtube. Hope the best for mama zee family and you heraldo , im so thankful to see this such experience
Thanks for taking the time to put this video together. Had a great time joining you
Thank you for taking the time and re-uploading the video so many times Harald!
Cheers, it's pork o-clock for me now good sir.
Mama Zee is such a great character - so real smart and relaxing - One in a million - Thank
What wonderful people and such hard workers. The distance that she travels each day to try and get people to stay at her house is commendable.
I did a trek to a Hmong village from SaPa in 2008 and always wonder how the awesome people there are doing today. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I'll go re-live through my photos.
Here for the algorithm!
Watching it for the third time 😂
Stay strong, brave soldier Harald!
The natives here speak English very well, I admire them very much
Harold, please keep trying! You have been able to help so many people by doing some of the hard stuff that some of us can no longer do. And we have been able to share minutely with you because of your videos. Carry on!
What this has taught me is that I need to watch the full video the second it comes out. SO much taken out
I'm just couple of minutes in, and I have to say the quality of the content as well as image clarity is astonishing. The lightning and sharpness in scenes like 09:05 fascinating me.
Generally it's really nice to finally see some locals in non-touristic areas capable of speaking some basic english, where deeper dialogues can evolve. Loving it.
Mama Zee is awesome and she has a wonderful family. Thankful to see a really great glimpse of their lifestyle through your great video Harald! So many doggos, they like you, haha!
Watched this video for the 3rd time & liked it. Hardworking woman like mamazee deserve more tourist. Hope to see mamazee doing great in future. Great work Harald!! 👍
What a totally lovely person Mama Zee is - hope she gets loads and loads of customers through this
One of the people i’ve been subscribed to the longest. Staying real. Love it! ❤
Been watching you for many years now and so happy you got to meet my people ❤️
YES! A third opportunity to stand with Harald and Mama Zee!
Thank you so much @Haraldbaldr for the great work you do and for being our window into the world. I wish one day I can go and visit and experience each one of the amazing and magical places you had discovered for us. And I stand strong with you with this crazy madness cancelling society that wants to cancel and questions things that are simply day to day normal life for other people in the real world. Even though I live in the USA 🇺🇸 I come from a 3rd world country 🇩🇴 and the things you show in your videos are normal to me.
This family is chilled. They deserve much better and more happiness in their lives.
This is how a proper visit to some country like Vietnam should be, to see the real and a beautiful side among the simple people. I am not sure if anyone else beside our Haraldo on RUclips is doing the same, and in all honesy, I don't even care, because Harald is doing it fantastically brilliant!! Thank you for giving us such precious videos Harald. Stay always safe!
Just throwing a comment in to add to the traffic. Amazing people Harald. Your contribution to their life will be felt for a long time. What a rich and full life you live.
What you found here, was the Vietnam I tried so hard to discover, but I could not find in Hanoi or Saigon. The peaceful people, the slower pace. I should have gone to the countryside. Thank you Harald.
I appreciate you reuploading since I can't always watch when a video comes out. Harold is the best and I love his humor.
I will happily re watch for a third time as this video is amazing I enjoy all the different types of videos you make but I do have a extra love for this style of video you make it just feels so natural, the people who feature in it are so cool. such a cool insight into another part of the world.
Like share and leave comments all helps the algorithm push the new video out to more people. That's going to help bring more customers to that lovely lady and her family's business. ❤
Lemme watch it again for the 3rd time . Idc whether it's the same vedio or not. Love to see their village , the people, everything . So refreshing to watch this series and gives me peace every time I watch it. I might have a blood relations with those Hmong people who knows.
Wow, what an incredible journey! Mama Z's village life is so fascinating-especially the hemp weaving. Anyone else feel inspired to try trekking in the Sa Pa Mountains? 🚶♂🏞
I have 2 looms, 1 floor and 1 table loom. I love weaving and taking weaving and fabric painting classes. Thank you so much for your friendly, beautiful, and informative video. I have woven wool, cotton and old jeans that I have cut onto long yarns. I have never woven hemp but have wanted to weave with this fiber for many years.
Sad that you're having all these issues Harald. And a shame for this lady not being accepted by the RUclips algorithm. I really enjoyed the first upload. I don't understand how people can be offended of true village life. Where all the animals have a quality life, way better than the misfortunate once ending up on our supermarket shelves. Also hemp is used all across Europe and the US for all kinds of products besides smoking. What's the difference? This sort of forced sterile environment on here is just so artificial it sucks out all the interesting fun parts. Anyway, keep going and don't give up 🙏💪❤
Let's all like and share this video it's the least we can do boost the views as much as we can ..must be stressy having to upload for a third time plus that family are pretty cool too
Can't wait to get home to WATCH THIS!!! ....AGAIN!!! .. & ...AGAIN!!❤❤😊
When I showed your video I felt that whole world is same for province. Has same culture almost and development process has same like us as I am Nepal’s ❤
Thank you herald for showing the world 🌎
Now I believe that even we have different language but our life style is same 🙏🙏
I'll watch every reupload, don't care. I'm gonna let it play it on my phone, TV, PS5, tablet, smartwatch, washing machine. Outrageous!
Appreciate that 🙏🏻
I have seen Mama Zee last days more than my own mom
🤣
😂
WOW. thank you for taking us on this journey and showing my family what it really means to have a home. thank you and be well.
so intersting video been watching it for 2 days to complete ..i watch haft go work come back watch other hafl like this..another 10/10 video harald..
I appreciate that Harald stuck with the "Homestay" he signed up for instead of the fully built upgraded stay kindly offer by the extended family. It's an organic experience. #mamazee
I wondered what was wrong with the video, it had blurry parts, and when I read comments thanking you for reuploading, I though you were doing it for extra $exposure$, I never read your pinned comment that explains it all. Thanks for reuploading, it is quite enjoyable to watch!
Okay, I promise I will actually finish watching the video today before it gets taken down again.
For those missing out, the members section has the deleted scenes from this video, i highly recommend subscribing as you'll be getting extra content that you may find entertaining!
Jesus , Harald . You've once again leveled up in production quality my Northern friend . This is reminding me of the quality of your adventures in Mexico with the Korean shower head noodle guy . Bravo , Sir .
Miss Zee seems like a rock...what stamina and what a motor. This is one of my favorite travel videos so far Harald! They may be poor but they are so rich with a quality of life most people will never experience
Ahhh love your determination with this one! Love those roosters as well, sometimes it is a fight unfortunately :) much love from Finland, from another northman!
Sir, you do not have to worry about how many times you have to re-upload any video as both me and my dad watch your videos on the tv and then play it on the laptop and our phones 👍
I,wonder this lady how many hours she walk to get the treakers and its a very hard job..and ofcourse congo looks super strong..food looks very authentic..lets wait for another video..lets see what all we get in this village ❤❤❤❤
These encounters and the sharing of your format with others, is what makes your channel special.
A Fantastic view! Appreciate you sharing this amazing journey with us! Ty for taking us places that most don't get the opurtinty to see! Much appreciated Harold. Cheers!✌🏼💫
Always ready for that notification lol
We have a huge hmong population in my state. They are wonderful people. Hard working family people. The Olympic gold medal gymnast is hmong, sunni Lee. She's from my state MN
I went to Sapa in 1993 and went walking down by the river with a friend. We met a couple of young Hmong women, one with a baby on her beck. We spent about an hour there looking at each other. I had an English to Vietnamese dictionary but we couldn't use it as they didn't even speak Vietnamese. It was a weird situation. We were on a small foot bridge going across the river. I was talking to my friend about them and they were talking to each other about us. It was all very friendly and eventually we said goodbye. It's a good memory and I still have some (old style) photos somewhere.
This platform: Forcing the northman to re-upload this exact video every day until 2050
Me: Liking and commenting in this video every day until 2050
Let's do it!

I'm In!

@@dottieparker7274 Maybe we will! Gongo fest 2024 is on!
Glad you’re keeping this alive. Mama zee is fascinating. An important story to tell even with censorship
Another great video, Harald! I approve. It’s so amazing how they toil without complaint, and how necessity and survival is an instant cure for procrastination.
This times the charm, I hope. Mama Zee is a treasure. Thanks for introducing her to us, viking.
Thanks you for introducing my Hmong people to the world. Love from Minnesota. I’m one of your long time subscribers.
Never comment usually on your videos. But I’m a big fan. I enjoy travelling through you. It’s a great way to unwind after a day’s work.
So I’m commenting to help get this video some traction it may miss out on, because of the issues you laid out.
Go well, Harald and Mama Zee!
Edit: also, because you’ve explained how the algorithm works and how comments and likes help, I’ll be commenting more on your videos!
You are a stronger man . Not much people can go like you in that place =))) This is great review in North VietNam so far !
I’m enjoying the beautiful landscape plus the interactions between this two , I can understand half of the things she is saying but Harald gets her 😂I like how this guy visits a country but goes to the less touristy places and makes genuine connections with the locals and gives them a chance to tell their stories.I know Mama zee will get a lot of customer after this .
I was lucky enough to watch the original upload.
And tonight i sat and watched this one with my wife.
She loved it and its still a great video.
What a stunning place.
Absolutely beautiful and your guide was amazing too.
Thank you
