Dear Journal,

I love to travel, but hate to arrive.

37 degrees. Wind force about zero. And the only shadow I could find with a little lookout. #vietnam #vietnamwonders #visitvietnam #vietnamcharm #halongbay #backtotheroots #jungle #explorevietnam #beautifulseasia #beautifuldestinations #keepitwild #nature #exploretocreate #wonderful_places #sidewalkerdaily #mothernature #athomeintheworld #stayandwander #fromwhereistand #keepexploring #globalpathfinders #hello_worldpics #goexplore #exploremore #discoverearth #theoutbound #neverstopexploring #windows_to_the_world #travelblog #ilovetotravelbuthatetoarrive (at Cát Bà Island)

In the end, she became more than what she expected. She became the journey, and like all journeys, she did not end, she just simply changed directions and kept going. (at Vietnam)

All I want for Easter is you! Stumbled by chance onto this heaven on earth and probably will never leave anymore. This is love at first sight and we will live happily ever after. No alternate ending planned. (at Gió Lào Eco Lodge - Đảo chè Thanh An)

Phong Nha Cave- This cave system is merely accessible via boat and has an underground river of 13km. My OMMMM place for body and soul. How much would I have loved to explore more than the 1.500m that are open to public. (at Phong Nha-Ke Bang)

Home of the ancestors. The Nguyen dynasty was the last to own the throne for 143 years before the country became a Democratic Republic in 1945. Ruling the world was always our thing. 👸🏻 (at Hue, Vietnam)

The calm before the storm. Shortly after this picture was taken the clouds rapidly invaded this mountain pass leaving little to nothing of this view, explaining its name Hai Van Pass. Hai= sea, van= cloud. Pass= somebody please pass me some real courage to last in this posture longer than for the time of the photo being taken. (at Hải Vân Pass)

Hoi An- City of lanterns and tailors. No way to resist having a dress tailor made to my wishes. Already at daylight the city is pretty to look at, however, at dusk when everything lights up this place just turns into a magical fairytale. (at Phố Cổ Hội An, Quảng Nam)

Road24. I’d do it all over again. The cold, the mist, the rain, the bumpy loops, the sun, the pigs, the cows, the honking trucks, and at least twice as much time as thought,...All of it for this! (at Quảng Ngãi Province)

Made a new friend! Stayed at Jungle Beach for the sunset when this pretty fellow joined me and didn’t leave my side until midnight. Next to me, one other human, two more dogs and a bonfire. #lifeisbetteratthebeach #vietnam #vietnamtravel #sunset #sunrise_sunsets_aroundworld #sunsets #sunset_hub #beach #beachlife #dog #dogsofig #dogsofinstagram #dogsofinsta #travel #backtotheroots #travelblog #travelstoke #travelblogger #nomad #passionpassport #beachdog #fromwhereistand #sky #wanderer #neverstopexploring #backpackerstory #doyoutravel #stayandwander #ilovetotravelbuthatetoarrive (at Jungle Beach VietNam)

Moop moooop! On the back of one Xe Om cruising through the buzzing streets of Saigon. The most fun and safe option in my opinion to explore the city. Trust me, it’s better to sit on one than to be run over by one. And now, get out of my way, I am coooming! Check out my latest blog!

Questions, questions, questions. I’ve always wondered what it was that made me feel incomplete. The scary sensation of not belonging perfectly to either the Western nor Eastern hemisphere eats me up alive and frankly, I am sick of it. I swear, the day when I find the origin of who or whatever planted the idea of “picture perfect” in my head, I will give them a high kick in their silly and ugly…
