    How to Make Vietnamese Coffee – Taste of Travel

    June 9, 2020 / 0 Comments

    So it’s been awhile since I’ve posted, and while I have a bunch of posts I wrote just before lockdown, I’ve not felt right publishing them while we’ve staying been at home. I’ve been hearing a lot about virtual travel experiences and I have to say I haven’t been interested, it just makes me want to travel more. To me the real beauty of travel is the food, the smells, the experience of it all. So while we wait to be able to explore the world again, I’ve been recreating some of my favourite recipes at home inspired by the places I’ve been. First up, I’ll show you how to…

    Dos and Don’ts for Visiting Vietnam

    February 27, 2019 / 1 Comment

    Vietnam is a fantastic country to visit, but there are some dos and don’ts you should know before travelling there. I certainly feel like I learned some lessons along my travels to Vietnam. In last week’s post, I told you all about the dos and don’ts of visiting Sri Lanka. but this trip wasn’t nearly as hard to plan as Vietnam. Even after a lot of research, there were still many lessons to be learned along the way. Here are a few dos and don’ts I wish I’d known before going to Vietnam and some of the things I was glad I researched before I left. Dos and don’ts travelling…

    Relaxing in Nha Trang, Vietnam

    January 31, 2019 / 7 Comments

    Nha Trang is a beach city located along Vietnam’s south coast. It’s a fairly modern place dotted with resorts but also amazing beaches. Out of the places I visited in Vietnam, I’ve found Nha Trang the hardest to write about. I realised this was not only because we spent the shortest amount of time here, but also because we didn’t do much during that time, spending most of our two days lounging at the beach. This was purely out of choice. After all, there were two reasons it was on our itinerary. Nha Trang is located halfway between Ho Chi Minh City and the central region meaning we didn’t have…

    What to Buy While Travelling Vietnam

    January 29, 2019 / 9 Comments

    I hadn’t planned on buying much while visiting Vietnam. I had shoved everything in a backpack small enough to fit my 5’0 frame that I would have to carry to seven destinations. Therefore, there wasn’t much room to pick up lots of new stuff. But the bargains were incredible, including some beautiful things I knew I’d find nowhere else. I had to do some shopping (luckily Matt had some extra room in his massive backpack). Here’s what to buy in Vietnam: What to buy to take home from Vietnam Tailored clothing in Hoi An The thing I regret the most about visiting Vietnam? Not getting more clothes made in Hoi…
