Calling all Vietnam adventurers!

This October to November, my partner Gabriel and I are going on an exciting adventure to Southeast Asia! Not only will we be visiting my family in Taiwan, but we're also checking off one of our bucket list destinations by exploring the vibrant culture and stunning landscapes of Vietnam.

In this blog post, I'm creating a curated list of must-do experiences for anyone planning a trip to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Da Nang, and more. While Vietnam has an endless amount of things to see, eat, and explore, we'll be focusing on these two dynamic destinations: Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang.

Insider tips wanted!
