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, 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.

Frequent Traveller News VISIT OUR BLOG | RESOURCES | ABOUT US Hi Reader, If you've followed us for a while, you'll know we're independent travellers at heart. Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, South Korea, all done on our own steam, and we'd happily do them all again the same way. China is different. In November we travelled to Chongqing with Wendy Wu Tours, covering the same ground as the Chongqing leg of their New Horizons of China itinerary, and it made the case for guided travel...
Frequent Traveller News VISIT OUR BLOG | RESOURCES | ABOUT US Hi Reader, A few years back we were partway through a Caribbean cruise, on our way to Key West, when the captain came over the speakers.

But we disembarked in Miami two days late, and suddenly every flight and hotel booked on the other side of that cruise was wrong. A few weeks later, we boarded another ship from Vancouver to Japan, and a...
