Who Knew Vietnam Was So Beautiful?

I guess it's been a while since my last geography class. I was expecting Vietnam to be endless miles of mountains, rice paddies, and hilly terrain. In the first week of traveling here, I have discovered gorgeous Pacific coastlines, white sandy beaches, the bluest waters, and beautiful bays with countless limestone cliffs jutting out of the water.

The two afternoons I have spent on the beach have been a welcome respite from the massive and overcrowded cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh, which shockingly are crazier than Bangkok in terms of traffic and the overabundance of motorbikes.

  1. I just caught up on the blog and I really felt like I was there with you through your photos and descriptions. I can't wait to hear more stories in person soon. I will be in LA in mid June. Lots of love and safe travel home!
