I think it was a really solid decision to stay here during my birthday. A few… Read More Vang Vieng: Birthday Balloon Rides
Hey, everyone! I have been in Laos for the last week. The vibe is much chiller here and to be honest, I feel like spending more time relaxing than exploring. I was so on the go in both Vietnam and Cambodia, I think I certainly owe it to myself. I have been enjoying my days… Read More Laos: Don Det & Pakse
Hey, everyone! I have spent the last ten days in Cambodia. As the title says, it has been short… but sweet. I visited three main areas – Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and Kratie.

Hey, everyone! Since my Cát Bà adventure, I’ve been slowly venturing towards southern Vietnam. I have spent the past week in both Ninh Bình and Phong Nha, two lovely parts of the country but pretty different from the other sections I’ve visited so far.

A few housekeeping… Read More Cát Bà
