We’re testing something new on our next trip…
Frequent Traveller News Hope you’re having a great weekend! We are counting down the days until our next trip to Vietnam, and we thought we would share a quick update on what we have planned. This trip will be a mix of new experiences, revisiting some of our favourite spots and testing services to make future trips to Vietnam run even smoother. Instead of our usual bus journey, we will be taking a luxury overnight train from Hanoi to Sa Pa. Imagine a private cabin with proper beds, a much more relaxed way to reach the mountains in the north. Our first stop will be in Ho Chi Minh City where we will be test driving the Ho Chi Minh City fast-track immigration service. Vietnam has become a popular tourist destination and arrival queues at Tan Son Nhat International Airport, can often be long. This trip we want to see whether this service truly makes arrival into Ho Chi Minh City quicker and easier. Check here for Ho Chi Minh City highlights and what it has to offer visitors. Over our three-month journey we will be sharing a multitude of experiences, including: • What the luxury train to Sa Pa is really like • Whether the Ho Chi Minh City fast-track service is worth it • New hotels, food spots, and travel tips we discover If you are curious or have any questions about travel within Vietnam, hit reply and let us know, we would be more than happy to help.

Frequent Traveller News VISIT OUR BLOG | RESOURCES | ABOUT US Hi Reader, Every year we see the same thing in our Facebook groups. Someone books a Christmas beach holiday in Bali or Da Nang, then arrives to grey skies and daily downpours. It’s not bad luck. December and January are when the monsoons split Southeast Asia in two. One coast can be enjoying its best weather of the year while the other is in the middle of its wet season. Having lived in Thailand and Vietnam, we’ve seen both sides...
Frequent Traveller News VISIT OUR BLOG | RESOURCES | ABOUT US Hi Reader, We have just returned to Australia after five months travelling through Asia. We love this lifestyle that allows us to divide our time between travelling the world and being home in the land of kangaroos and beaches. Of course, this lifestyle can get tricky, and our last trip was an example of this. Sickness and an unplanned visa run made us realise just how vulnerable you can be in a foreign land. I began feeling unwell...
Frequent Traveller News VISIT OUR BLOG | RESOURCES | ABOUT US Hi Reader, We are currently in Chiang Mai and enjoying all that this dynamic city has to offer. As many of you know, we spend a lot of time here, and we aren't the only ones. Chiang Mai has a charm that draws people back. The city plays host to a mix of short-term tourists, long stay visitors and a large expat community. For the tourist, it is the gateway to hilltribe villages, elephant sanctuaries, breathtaking mountain scenery...
