Purchasing a scooter and driving it through Vietnam was a great way to explore the country, and you can find out what I thought in my previous post here. I wouldn’t have done it any other way. But now that I’ve completed my journey and sold my bike, there are definitely things I would do differently […]

Buying a Motorbike in Vietnam
Thanks to the boys of Top Gear, motorbiking through Vietnam has become the thing to do when you’re in the country, and honestly I had a complete blast doing it! There are many reasons why Vietnam has caught such a reputation. The country is long and relatively narrow, making it very manageable to ride from the North […]
Eight Things I wish I Knew Before Travelling to Myanmar
Having recently opened their boarders to tourists, I was extremely excited to travel to Myanmar. I was looking forward to getting my hands and feet a bit more dirty, especially just having visited cosmopolitan Thailand. However, with the country still at the beginning stages of its tourism, a bit more pre-planning was necessary. Here are […]
Getting a Tailor Piece Made in Hoi An
The city of Hoi An has a strong reputation of being the place to get clothes tailor made, which obviously became one of my ultimate mission when I visited the city. I was bouncing off the walls with excitement when we got into the city. I just couldn’t wait to get clothes made to to […]
Ho Chi Minh City
Ho Chi Minh City is a frantic and chaotic city. Hands down, it also has the craziest drivers I’ve encountered in all my time driving through Vietnam. Backpacker District Most backpackers visiting the city will probably stay in the area across from September 23 Park, where there are a ton of restaurants, bars, hostels and […]
Binh Hung
Again trying to skip the hoards of crowds, I decided to skip Mui Ne and visit the neighbouring city of Binh Hung instead. Binh Hung and Mui Ne are actually both located within Phan Thiet and are only about 20km away from each other. There are still a lot of local tourists that visit Binh […]
Ca Na
Ca Na is a small and high-walled port city. There is a small beach locals go to, but it really isn’t anything spectacular. The city is also pretty dirty, smelly and difficult to find any accommodations and food in. Coastal Drive Since I couldn’t find anywhere to sleep or eat I decided to drive on. […]
Phan Rang – Thap Cham
If you’re looking to hit the beautiful coast of Vietnam, but want to go somewhere not completely flooded with tourists, Phan Rang – Thap Cham can be the place. I decided to visit this city instead of Nha Trang since all the feedback I got from other travellers didn’t really paint Nha Trang as a […]
Hoi An
Historic and postcardesque, Hoi An is a pretty little UNESCO protected city full of charm (and hustlers). There’s a definite excitement in the air surrounding Hoi An. Maybe it’s how the lanterns romanticize every corner at night, or just because bus loads of tourists arrive on a daily basis. Hoi An is best enjoyed […]
