    Two Days Exploring Ha Long Bay

    January 3, 2019 / 10 Comments

    A must-see on many tourists’ lists, Ha Long Bay (or Halong Bay) was one of the most incredible places I saw on my trip to Vietnam. Located about 2 hours 45 minutes from Hanoi, the bay is famous for its emerald green waters and the thousands of limestone islands dotted within it. About Halong Bay A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Wonders of the World, it attracts a lot of visitors each year who flock to the bay for photo opportunities, swimming, hiking, exploring caves, and watersports. The bay has a long history and its unique formations have been the subject of legends for many years.…

    Hanoi, Vietnam: Best Things to See, Do, and Eat

    November 13, 2018 / 15 Comments

    Hanoi, Vietnam’s capital city was the final destination on our tour of this unforgettable country. Located in the north of the country, the city is a mix of historic architecture and busy streets, cafes and lakes, with a touch of more modern development seeping in. Like Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi is very busy. Because it has an estimated population of nearly 8 million, Hanoi can be overwhelming at times. But whether it was because Hanoi came at the end of our trip and we were more acclimatised to Vietnam at this point than when we stumbled into Ho Chi Minh at 6am a few weeks prior, or there was…

    Dubai – An Itinerary for Any Length Trip

    April 3, 2018 / 1 Comment

    Dubai, someone told me during my recent visit, is like its own brand, with the aim of becoming the Chanel or Dior of cities. It’s shining, modern, and ever-rising skyline meets traditional culture in a place surrounded by seemingly endless desert and sea. You can expect a destination unlike anywhere else. My most recent trip to Dubai felt rushed. Three days at a conference for my “day job” meant I saw little more than the inside of a hotel. But I was lucky enough to have two days to myself afterwards to see everything. My experience in this city isn’t that different from many who travel here, whether for business…
