Today's travel photo is of some Dragon Fruit growing at an orchard in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. A lot of people come to Southeast Asia and have no idea what this fruit is, and I was the same when I first came to the region a couple of years ago. Dragon Fruit certainly looks a [...]
Nha Trang is Vietnam's premier beach destination. Generally, I'm not all that interested in places like this, but after a couple of weeks of active travel in the country, I was glad to get some relaxing beach time. I was also surprised to find that there is more to Nha Trang than just lazing on [...]
I was feeling great after visiting Cai Rang Floating Market in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam, so I didn't really care where we were going next as our boat chugged along the Mekong River. Before long, we pulled up at a seemingly random makeshift jetty and were off walking along an alley, through someone's little [...]
Today's travel photo is of a man selling fruit on the street in the Old Quarter of Hanoi in Vietnam. I loved walking around the Old Quarter as there was always something interesting to see. These "mobile" sellers pretty much just set up where ever there is some free space on the sidewalk or even [...]
Old picturesque buildings, lantern lit streets and romantic meals over looking the water, boat cruises, sandy beaches and scenic countryside. That is Hoi An. It is without a doubt one of the absolute must see destinations in Vietnam. You definitely need a few days to take in everything that Hoi An has to offer, and [...]

When you travel to Vietnam, one of those “must see places” is the Mekong Delta. This lush and fertile land where the Mekong River spreads into a whole network of channels as it nears the ocean, is almost completely used for agriculture, and the people who work this land live on the islands between all [...]
I instantly fell in love with Hoi An from the very first night that I spent there. The beautiful old buildings, narrow streets, lanterns and picturesque river setting make it an absolute must see when you travel to Vietnam. The UNESCO World Heritage listed old town has a lot to see and do, from temples [...]
The Central Highlands of Vietnam is vastly different to the rest of the country, and its main city, Dalat, certainly reflects this. Located on a plateau, Dalat's high altitude means that temperatures are quite cool compared to the hot and humid coast of Vietnam. We decided to stop here on our way south through the [...]
Today's travel photo is of a man selling drinks and coconuts from his boat at the Cai Rang Floating Market in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Located in the city of Can Tho, Cai Rang is a busy market where farmers from all along the Mekong Delta and even Cambodia all gather to sell their produce [...]
