Perhaps the effect of enjoying a little too much sangria, but seriously - so many great buildings to enjoy. One of the reasons I would say that if you have the chance to travel to Spain, you should definitely go..

I freely admit that I’m more impulsive than most I freely admit that I’m more impulsive than most so you’re probably not going to be surprised to hear that I’m always up for a new tattoo or piercing on my travels. While in Hanoi, I decided to get an industrial piercing at 1984 Tattoo & Piercing Studios after having some yummy vegan food nearby at The Veg. Hurt like hell afterwards, but is one of my favorites. Have you ever gotten a tattoo or piercing while traveling?

I stopped at the Instagram famous “Train Street” when I visited Hanoi in August of 2019. Only two short months later, the government shut the cafes down and access to Train Street on foot for tourists. But it looks like the tourism industry, which has suffered in Vietnam like most countries, is pushing back. So if you’ve ever wanted your own selfie on Train Street, act fast because no one knows how long it will remain open.
