On our way to the infamous Pub With Cold Beer in Phong Nha, we chanced upon what was soon to become my favorite stop in my three month journey through South East Asia: The Duck Stop! Here we embraced our inner duck leaders and led a small army of 40-50 waddling ducks...

This is my experience at the famous Pub With Cold Beer in Phong Nha. Expecting a normal fried chicken lunch, I ended up choosing and killing the chicken I would eat in a very immersive and eye-opening experience. It was farm-to-table in the truest sense. This is one...

From coconut boat tours to getting affordable hand tailored suits to getting lost in the old city, there are a lot of insanely fun things to do in Hoi An. It was much more touristy than I expected; it felt like a manicured cultural experience compared to big beach...

If you’ve ever seen videos of people spinning around in a giant coconut boat in the water, they are likely from the famous “coconut boat” tours in Hoi An. We loved the whole experience; our guide took us crab fishing along the way and taught us Vietnamese rowing...

Ho Chi Minh City, otherwise known as Saigon, is a dive into chaos… or an endless river of beeping motorbikes. I was told by a local that there are about 10 million people living in the city, and probably 15 million motorbikes (which is completely absurd). I loved my...
