Top Things to do in Hoi An

TOP THINGS TO DO IN HOI AN, VIETNAM Hoi An recently got voted best city in the world by Travel & Leisure magazine readers. With that type of hype and amazing reviews from other travelers we’d met along the way, we were a bit skeptical to say the least. That being said, Hoi An, eneded up being one of the most relaxing cities we visited throughout our travels in Europe and Asia. I’m not quite sure if it’s the best city in the world, but it’s a wonderful place to escape the real world for a few days...or weeks...or months… We stayed in Hoi An a total of 11 days over the course of two different visits. First, we visited along our trek from south to north, then again at the tail end of our trip after we tacked on a few more days to take a break from planning and celebrate our anniversary. We spent days trying to figure out where to go in Asia that had a mix of beaches, local feel, higher end restaurants, good hotels, and great weather. We got close to picking one of the Gili Islands or...

Top Things to do in Seoul

  FUN AND INTERESTING THINGS TO DO IN Seoul, Korea We weren’t quite sure what to expect when we entered Seoul. It was a place on our list only because a number of friends had visited and because we thought it might be some type of tech mecca because of companies like LG and Samsung that call it home. We had also read about some travelers being disappointed with their Korean experience - especially those that had just come from Japan...like us. We spent around 10 days in Seoul. Longer than expected because we came to know about a lantern festival only after we had landed. We extended our trip, shuffled some of our downstream plans, and made sure we didn’t miss the chance to celebrate this festival in the biggest city in Korea. A handy resource is the https://korea4expats.com website. It’s been put together by expats for expats to help them adjust and assimilate into Korean life and culture. I would definitely recommend combing through this! > WHERE TO STAY We stayed in Hongda...

Top Things to do in Da Nang

TOP THINGS TO DO IN DA NANG, VIETNAM Da Nang is a Miami or Vegas-esque beach town. At night, the city lights up extravagantly! Many of the buildings have lights all up and down them and they’re constantly changing colors. The bridges are lit up, night cruise boats are covered in lights, and walkways along the river also lit up. Lights, lights, and more lights!  During the day, the biggest attractions are the beaches - some of the best in the world. Long strips of fine sand, clean, and deep beaches. They’re the perfect place to laze around for the day and cool off in the ocean.  It’s situated about 1.5 hours from Hue (on the other side of the Huy Van Pass) and about 45 minutes away from Hoi An (on the other side of the Marble Mountains). Hence, many people will use it as a break point between their Hue to Hoi An travels.  Here are some of our top things to do in Da Nang:  > Khe Beach - We specifically allotted two days in Da Nang so we could get a beach day in.
