NEXT STOP: Vietnam & South Korea

It looks like my last traveling adventure (I define this as spending a longer than normal period of time in a foreign country that you've never been to) was in 2008 when I went to Sweden, Estonia, Finland, Russia & Latvia with my fantastic travel companions Monna, Sven and Claudio. According to my Facebook timeline.


It has been awhile. Too long in fact. My skin is itching and my body is experiencing symptoms of withdrawal. Fortunately, I have lined up my next adventure.

To Vietnam.

My travel companion this time? My fantastically awesome brother.

The reason? My brother is in Taiwan, studying abroad and learning Mandarin Chinese. He has over a month long break coming up in January so we decided to go on our first sibling adventure.

Our route? Currently all we know is that we will be in Ha Noi -> Nha Trang -> Saigon. We have a number of days in between each of these locations so we're looking for recommendations on where to go during that time period.

So far we've been told to go....

Sa Pa....


And Ha Long Bay.

Any other recommendations?
