Joining tours isn’t my favorite thing to do, but sometimes I need to admit that I have no other choice but to join one if I wanna spare some money. Visiting several islands on my own wouldn’t be possible anyway,[…]

Unknown Vietnam island: Hon Noi near Nha Trang

Vietnam is definitely not the place where mass tourists come to lay on the beach, therefore, there are still many unknown Vietnam island to tourists. Some of them are near Nha Trang and I couldn’t stop visiting once I found[…]

Nha Trang attractions besides beaches

by admin February 3, 2021February 16, 2026

Nha Trang seems to not have a good reputation among foreigners. This is also not a very much visited city by backpackers. I’ve heard that the place is too crowded and full of Russians and that is not worth a[…]

An adventurous day at Con Dao National Park

Being afraid of riding a motorbike, especially under the rain, lead me no option but explore Con Dao on foot which implied not exploring much of the island. Maybe for that reason, I will have to come back as I[…]

From Ho Chi Minh to Vung Tau to Con Dao

Vung Tau has the nearest beaches to Ho Chi Minh, about two hours away by bus, so it is the destination of choice for a weekend getaway for those who live in the city. I knew about this but wasn’t[…]

It's Koh Tao, one of the most beautiful views I ever had from this viewpoint. Was my 2nd time on the island but 90% of what I saw was new. Last time was in 2018 and it didn't go well so I didn't get to see much. That is why I came back. Because nature's beautu is always worth it for me 🥰

I walked along the coastline to discover lots of abandoned huts, tiny beaches and none of them empty. It was high season tho. Anyway, I can't bother with the surrounding ppl if nature is the best 😊
Love koh tao 🥰

We spent most of the past 9 months traveling toget We spent most of the past 9 months traveling together. Learning with each other and evolving with each other. 
We parted ways this month, but we still see the value that this adventure with each other added to our lives. He is not here anymore, but I appreciate this journey too much to not talk about it.
I am very happy with what we got to live with each other. It was the adventure of a life time. A lover perfectly aligned to meet at the right time and change me into the person I am today. I am sure we were supposed to meet and that this was a very meaningful event in my life. It brought necessary changes, I believe, and it makes way too much sense to just be ignored. I appreciate the opportunity to live this dream with you Brandon. Thanks
See you in another life. 

*of course the story has many more details that make it even more cool, but this is what there is to share 😊 and we are both happy with how it all went 😁
We started chatting in June 2024 and after a few m We started chatting in June 2024 and after a few months talking, we decided we will not meet as soon as we thought. We disconnected. But, a couple months later we reconnected again and started chatting even more frequently than before 😅 

But, I decided my next life moves not including him in the plan. Until the day something personal happened to him and he decides he will fly to Thailand to meet me. We spent almost 1 year chatting online until the moment we met face to face in May 2025. It was nerve wrecking I confess because I have never met someone this way before.
He came to Thailand to meet me because everything was aligned perfectly. 

*ps: we are not together anymore
The story of how we met is too cool so I will shar The story of how we met is too cool so I will share. 
I met him online, or better, I got to know about his existence...
I saw him on a viral IG reels and spammed his IG account 🤣🤣- he noticed me ( that was the point)

We started chatting through IG constantly until the point when we had our 1st video call. It was weird by itself to be talking this much with an internet stranger, let alone doing video calls 🤣

After that one, our connection got stronger. We spent hours daily texting back and forth and we had more video calls till the point we decided we want to meet each other.
But I am in Vietnam and he is from the US....

*ps we are not together anymore
What a crazy year this one. I knew it would be a y What a crazy year this one. I knew it would be a year of surprises but I could never see this coming.
I didn't have much of a plan for this year and I allowed things to flow naturally, as they should. I draw no goals, no wanting, but feeling and living according to my values within the circumstances that life naturally brings towards me.
I decided to accept what was put in my way the best I could, trying to let go of ego based decisions. I let life unfold freely and how beautiful has it been to watch it happen.
I've lived through new emotions, new learnings, new expetiences, so many new things I tried. I discovered a brand new world and that was the most amazing part of 2025.
I am not the same person.
The things I believe in now, are so different. The way i look at life, how i see it, how i don't try to control it much....
I think i'm even more free now. Knowing that whatever is yet yo come will be awesome, cause life gave me no reason to doubt it. Everything has been perfectly aligned so I have to surrender and trust. How silly of me would it be if I didn't. 
For next year, I don't have much of a plan besides following my heart. That is my goal. If it changes every month, then be it. Should be a good thing as it means i'm not stuck in the same "place" ( phisically, and mentally) anymore. I see that as progression.
I'm the happiest i've been knowing that I will allow the greatest plan once set for me unfold.
May 2026 bring lots of understanding and acceptance. Living in the moment is going to be my goal. The hardest of all. I will try my best. 

Happy new year everyone!
