Finally I'm traveling again! This trip was absolutely life changing especially after a challenging 2024. I've always wanted to visit Vietnam but in the past, the story from one of my close friends' experience of being scammed by taxi driver in Vietnam haunted me for years.
Now that I've got friends in Vietnam, I've got a million reasons to go. Haha. Also, I had zero plan, I just bought a ticket and hotel and let God handle the rest. Thanks so much my friend Kelia who took time out of her crazy schedules and even came all the way to airport to pick me up and took me around Ho Chi Minh. This trip, I had many first time. Especially food-wise. I've been watching people eating coconut worms on YouTube for a long time and have always desperately wanting to try it. Check out the full experience in my other video here :
