We went to Vietnam on our honeymoon, spending the money we got for our wedding the best way possible. I’d never traveled that far and I’d never been to Asia.

I often wonder if I should tell more about the places I’ve visited. How to get there. What to see and how much it cost. What’s the best season and what shoes you should wear. I would maybe have more followers. I would maybe have more comments on my social media posts.

That’s not what i want to tell you. I want you to feel the heat on your skin. I want you to hear the horns of a thousand motorbikes, so loud that you can’t think anymore. I want you to feel the pitching of the boat, anchored in the Ha Long bay. I want you to taste the fruits and the iced coffee that you’ll never manage to replicate at home. I want you to feel drunk from the pace of the cities and from the locally brewed beers…

I want you to feel that you were there. That is what I do.
