My Tips for Choosing Accommodation in Southeast Asia & Australia Spending four and a half months in Asia hardly makes me an expert in accommodation. I stayed in private homes, ger camps, hostels, guesthouses and hotels. The locations ranged from the middle of the Gobi Desert to the metropolis of Bangkok. But I would like [...]
I fell in love with floating markets in Vietnam. This one is different from many others because it is ‘wholesale’ in nature. So it is mostly big barges and the tourists are mainly observers.

I took this at the old Citadel in Hue, Vietnam. Hue was the imperial city of Vietnam. There are numerous legends about why this location was chosen for the citadel, and it is a very large complex. This was one of the few things I did in Hue because I’ve never seen it rain so [...]
….or perhaps it should be titled “Being a really really pale white person in Vietnam” Vietnam was THE country that I’ve experienced the most attention in. And oddly enough, it wasn’t so much because of the hair (well it was a little bit). It was more because of how pale I am. Therefore, this post [...]
