Vietnam – Day 13 – Ho Chi Minh City
Today was my last full day in Vietnam! Sad to come to an end. My first country in Asia. My first (partially) solo trip. I probably booked a day too many in Saigon, so I didn’t have much planned today. But it wasn’t crazy hot so I did get to…

Vietnam – Day 6 – Da Nang
Another rainy day, but we opted for some indoor activities. Most of our day consisted of a cooking class with a trip to the market to pick fresh produce. We learned so much about the different vegetables here. So many vegetables and fruit that we don’t have back home. Lemongrass,…
