We relaxed in the beautiful old town of Hoi An. In Dalat we went on lots of adventures from seeing the country side to canyoning in the waterfalls! We spent 3 days exploring the Ancient town of Hoi An. The entire town is a Unesco heritage site. There’s really not too much to actually do…

Vietnam: Hue & more
The next 3 days were filled with non stop exploring in museums, old pagodas, forbidden cities, and a motorbike trip. After our Halong Bay trip we ended up spending one more full day in Hanoi. Each time we return to a city we’ve been before I end up enjoying it more instead of hating it…
Vietnam: Ha Long Bay

There are cars and motorbikes everywhere, crossing the street is nearly impossible (luckily by now we’ve figured…
Thailand: Islands

Cambodia: Siem Reap
We’re enjoying Cambodia with ancient temples at Angkor Wat and bamboo trains in Battambang! ‘Wonder is nourishment for the soul.’ Angkor Wat is the biggest religious monument in the world. It is Cambodia’s symbol and main attraction and is protected and constantly being restored. It is a Hindu & Buddhist temple that is 900…
