Sharing our tours, experiences and photos of Cat Ba, Vietnam. Day 1 Scooter trip around Cat Ba Island Head to Vietnam War “Hospital Caves” As you leave town, you may be accompanied by some livestock.

PACKING HAUL FOR WORLD TRAVELS. I bring you – my backpack closet for the next five months. Traveling the world is a planning feat in itself. Packing to travel the world is a whole other challenge. Nate and I traveled the world and lived in backpacks from May 2018 through May 2019 (367 days, 25 […]
UBUD IS A JUNGLE OASIS. Our expectation for Ubud was something along the lines of a hippie filled, mildly chaotic city in the mountains of Bali. That expectation was 100% correct. Ubud is indeed a city in the jungle. It is not simply a surrounded by green, IT IS IN THE GREEN. I start this […]
