Travel to Ho Chi Minh City: Food crawl on motorbike and the ultimate hipster hangout
My next travel adventures brings me back to Vietnam for a month. Since the hubs combined several days worth of footage into just a few YouTube vlogs, I’ll run through the highlights of our extended holiday.

It was by far one of the best experiences I’ve had in Vietnam, and I highly recommend it. I’ve had people tell me on different occasions that they'd taken me up on the advice and thoroughly enjoyed their own personally curated food tour.
A fan meet-up at Station 3A

Down a hidden street and around the corner, you’ll find boutiques, food stands, odds-and-ends shops, and a tea stall. It’s kind of the gathering place for hipsters. (More on this place later.)Vietnam always holds new adventures for us, and I’ve met so many ex-pats from all over the world who have fallen in love with its charm. I know I’m biased, but Vietnam is a must-visit in your lifetime. If you ever go, hit me up, and I’ll tell you all the foods you should try.
