Hidden Paradise in Vietnam; Phu Quoc Island
A Vietnamese island, off the coast of Cambodia, in the Gulf of Thailand, it sounds like Phu Quoc is having a bit of an identity crisis. With the beautiful beaches and off the beaten track location, it’s easy to loose yourself here. There are enough things to do in Phu Quoc, however the serenity of ocean front living will tempt you to do just about nothing. Ahhhhh, island living, it’s quiet and beautiful. Phu Quoc is the place to retreat and relax. Aside from exploring the national park jungle the spot to be here is with your toes in the sand at the beach. Snorkeling and diving are popular activities…

Snapshot Sunday: Women of Vietnam
Girls run the world. If Beyoncé sang it than it must be true. I just returned from a phenomenal trip to Vietnam and while there I uncovered a country where women are the most hardworking people I’ve ever met. They have participated in revolutions and wars, they farm, row boats, run businesses and raise families all with a quiet strength and a smile. The ladies we encountered were the friendliest people who taught us their skills, shared with us their stories or welcomed us into their homes and I was truly inspired by not only their work ethic but overall happiness.

Snapshot Sunday: Halong Bay Sunset
While in Vietnam, we had the opportunity to spend a few nights on a Junk (Asian sailing ship) leaving from Halong Bay and heading further out to the less visited Bai Tu Long Bay. I’m excited to get to share many more photos and the full experience soon but here is a little taste of the last few days on Dragon Legend Cruises.
