Challenge Me is a YouTube series where the host delves into the mysteries of life that have no clear answers, sparking curiosity, and even fear. Through these explorations, the channel also showcases the natural beauty, people, history, geography, and customs of Vietnam.

Born in 1984, Lê Hoàng Nam describes himself as an older man, though he humorously admits that he remains easily intrigued by tales of treasures and ancient royal relics. He once ventured to Thái Nguyên, climbing a mountain in search of a cave that supposedly housed a Chinese official's tomb from the Northern Domination period, rumored to contain a hidden fortune. The cave, shaped like a human mouth, required him to rappel down a steep slope as if entering a throat. Despite being previously excavated, Nam was still thrilled to find ancient inscriptions and a coffin still hanging on the wall. He even tried lying in the coffin while locals closed the lid on him.

Hoàng Nam has also caused quite a stir with his numerous “ghost hunting” videos, from Thuận Kiều Plaza (Saigon) to the haunted house at 300 Kim Mã (Hanoi). He doesn’t believe in spirits, and during his investigations of these infamous haunted houses, he never encountered anything unusual. “Some people told me I needed to call spirits; I just followed their instructions. Others claimed ghosts avoid people with tattoos, so that’s why I didn’t find anything,” Nam jokingly explains why he never encountered anything supernatural. For him, the real explanation behind these abandoned houses and the stories surrounding them is simply people’s imagination. He always leaves the locations as he found them, a principle he never changes.

Hoàng Nam chooses destinations based on a few key factors: personal challenges, a bit of adventure, and places that are either pristine or hold some mystery. When visiting new locations, he often targets mountain peaks or tall structures to challenge himself. On one occasion, he climbed the Thuận Phước Bridge in Da Nang, standing 80 meters tall. Halfway up, he felt a surge of fear, but his only way to cope was to calm himself with the mantra, “Just keep going and you’ll get there.”

When sharing his adventures, many people have labeled him reckless. “Everyone thinks I’m daring, but the truth is, I always plan and prepare carefully to ensure my safety.” The former radio host from Xonefm is content with his life, dedicating one week each month to planned trips for work, while the rest of the time is spent exploring on his own or traveling with his 5-year-old daughter. “But if the right opportunity comes along and both sides are willing, I’ll go for it. Whatever happens, happens.”

For Hoàng Minh Tuấn, owner of the YouTube channel Chan La Cà, the key to success isn’t just a love for travel—it’s about having a cool head and a passionate heart.

The breathtaking natural beauty of Vietnam’s Northern and Northwestern regions has an irresistible charm for travel vlogger Chan La Cà (Hoàng Minh Tuấn). His deep love for nature, passion for discovering the pristine beauty of mountains and forests, and his enjoyment of immersing himself in the lives of local people make these areas feel like a second home to him.

There’s no way to be unfamiliar with the name Trần Đặng Đăng Khoa in the Vietnamese travel community. This 30-year-old adventurer dared to do what few could even imagine—ride a motorbike around the world. Starting his journey on June 1, 2017, Khoa has now covered 33,000 km across three continents, passing through 30 countries.

When the young man from Gò Công first planned his grand adventure, many doubted he could succeed. Khoa once shared, “Many people said I was ‘riding on faith.’ And in a way, I am—because I have to believe in my ability and understand my bike's limits to make it through every leg of the journey.”

This faith isn’t built on fleeting dreams; it’s a dream that’s been nurtured over years, through hard work, and the accumulation of real experience. Before embarking on this global trek, Khoa had already completed almost 200 trips to various destinations: all across Vietnam, Southeast Asia, and some parts of Europe. These travels provided invaluable experience, shaping the foundation for his daring journey.

With half the journey still ahead, Trần Đặng Đăng Khoa will continue his travels through Europe, America, and Australia before returning to Vietnam. He frequently updates his journey on Facebook, allowing his supporters to follow along.

If you're a travel enthusiast who loves exploring new places, planning your next adventure, or simply unable to take the trips you've always dreamed of, don't worry—there's a YouTube channel dedicated to showcasing the best destinations across Vietnam. That channel is Nếm TV.

Nếm TV is the brainchild of Đặng Thanh Tùng, a young man born in 1991 in the beautiful city of Hải Phòng. Although Tùng initially studied Information Technology, upon graduation, he realized his true passion lay in filmmaking and travel. So, he decided to become a videographer, traveling across all 63 provinces of Vietnam to promote the country's tourism. While his decision to roam the country was initially met with resistance from his parents, Tùng's burning desire and youthful energy led him to explore countless new places, giving young people a deeper understanding of how beautiful their homeland truly is. Today, his parents are extremely proud of him and are loyal followers of Nếm TV.

Over the course of nearly four years, Tùng has produced numerous stunning videos highlighting the beauty of Vietnam and its people. Often, locals are surprised to see their homeland captured through Tùng's lens, revealing its poetic and picturesque qualities. When watching Tùng's videos, viewers are greeted with his signature phrase and familiar finger snap: '3, 2, 1, nếm,' followed by breathtaking wide-angle shots that make you feel as if you're personally experiencing the landscapes. We at Ghiền Review admire Tùng for his commitment to visiting even the most remote corners of the country, often coordinating with local authorities to bring stunning footage from sensitive or strategic areas, like border regions or key military sites.

Nếm TV also organizes charitable programs, connecting kind-hearted individuals with those in need across the country by providing gifts and scholarships to homeless people and underprivileged children during the Lunar New Year. Currently, Tùng has found love, fulfilling his mother's wish. With the support of his partner, Tùng is motivated to continue his journey, bringing even more beautiful places to the world. We wish Nếm TV's YouTube channel continued success and hope it gains even more support. So, what are you waiting for? Head over and show your support for the Nếm TV channel now!

Khoa Pug has been a YouTuber for about two years. Initially, he created content sharing tips on raising pug dogs, but soon shifted to reviewing luxury hotels and restaurants. His channel then expanded to travel experiences both within Vietnam and internationally.

Khoa Pug isn't afraid to spend big money traveling to luxurious destinations, staying only in five-star hotels or higher. However, he travels with just one cameraman—who also happens to be his girlfriend (although it's unclear whether she's his partner or just a close friend). His videos are shot in a natural, unedited style, often with minimal cuts or edits. Khoa engages with his viewers directly during filming, adding subtitles but no voiceovers. He prefers long, continuous shots with little scene switching, maintaining a raw and authentic feel. Khoa admits he's not great at capturing beautiful landscapes and some of the places he films may not look as stunning as expected.

Khoa Pug showcases his ‘adventurous spirit’ by traveling to destinations suggested by his viewers. In the comment section of his videos, fans recommend places they'd like him to visit, and Khoa selects the most popular suggestions to explore. To date, he’s produced series from Egypt, Dubai, and four East Asian countries: China, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. He plans to continue his travels based on audience requests. While not a professional filmmaker, Khoa focuses on cultural and human experiences, always striving to engage with local cultures despite his limited English skills and lack of knowledge of local languages. In many of his videos, Khoa confidently interacts with locals, even if his foreign language skills are basic. He has also met fellow Vietnamese living abroad and shared memorable experiences with them.

If you're looking for an up-close, realistic view of local food, culture, and people, follow Khoa Pug. Each channel has its unique charm, but Khoa's brings a specific value to viewers. While his channel has faced some controversies, there’s no denying the positive impact this blogger has made. With over 3.06 million subscribers, Khoa has garnered a lot of support even in the midst of the storms. We hope that after these setbacks, Khoa Pug will continue to deliver even better videos.
