We have heard from all the backpackers throughout the Asia, this is the place to go in Vietnam. It took a 2 hour hour bus ride, a half hour speed boat ride, another 45 minute bus ride until we arrived to the bay. We booked the Hideaway tour through our hostel, and there were about 10 people in our group. The bay was beautiful, with … Continue reading Halong Bay, Vietnam

We were warned this city was filled with motorbikes, the sound of honking, and bright lights of neon signs at night. The amount of motorbikes blew my mind. I had never seen so many in one … Continue reading Ho Chi Minh (AKA Saigon), Vietnam
