Cathy and Dave

The kind of goodbye that’s full of gratitude and excitement 💛

21 Days in Vietnam 🇻🇳 — Day 21
Early packing with full hearts, sad to leave but excited to get home ✈️, a long comfy flight to reflect on this adventure and our life together, and already dreaming about all the places in Vietnam we didn’t get to this time ✨

This wasn’t a goodbye… just a see you again.

What place keeps calling you back?

The kind of goodbye that comes with excitement 😄

21 Days in Vietnam 🇻🇳 — Day 20
Our last full day in Ho Chi Minh City — sad to say goodbye, but excited to get home, get stuck into new projects, and start planning the next Vietnam adventure ✨

Chocolate dreams at Maison Marou 🍫, coffee at the iconic café apartments at 21 Grams ☕, and one last perfect vegan dinner at Shamballa 🌿 — until next time.

Do you start planning your next trip before the current one even ends?

Making the most of our last days in Vietnam 😄

21 Days in Vietnam 🇻🇳 — Day 19
Bánh mì for breakfast 🥖, soaking up every last moment in Ho Chi Minh City, coffee surrounded by friendly fish at Oasis Café 🐟, massages and shampoo heaven at May’s Spa 💆‍♀️, finally mastering the art of crossing Vietnam’s streets 😅, and finishing the night on Bui Vien Walking Street — louder, brighter, and more in-your-face than Vegas 🎶✨

City nights or quiet mornings — which do you love more?

Ho Chi Minh City woke us up 😄

21 Days in Vietnam 🇻🇳 — Day 18
Bagels at Bagel Brothers 🥯, a wander through Book Street 📚, dancing at the post office 💃, total sensory overload at Ben Thanh Market 😍, dinner and tiramisu at Margheri 🍝, then back to El Pino Realm to watch the city do its thing at night 🌃

Big city energy or beach town vibes — which do you love more?

Some places don’t just get visited… they stay with you 💛

21 Days in Vietnam 🇻🇳 — Day 17
Saying goodbye to Hoi An (not easy 😌), flying on to Ho Chi Minh City, and checking into the beautiful .cth ✨ right in District 1 — with views straight over Ben Thanh Market from our room.

We ended the day with another perfect vegan feast at 🌿

Have you ever left a place knowing you’d be back?

21 Days in Vietnam 🇻🇳 — Day 16

Photo shoot through Ancient Town ✨, rooftop coffee at 92 Station ☕, handmade White Rose dumplings and wontons at the historic Old House of Tan Ky, the incredible Teh Dar performance at Lune Center for the Performing Arts, another perfect meal at V Vegan 🍜, dessert at Ca Hoi An 🍰, and another magical lantern boat ride at night 🏮

Ending the night back at our riverside room at Thanh Binh Riverside Hotel 💛

Could you see yourself falling in love with Hoi An?

Some travel memories stay with you forever 😍

21 Days in Vietnam 🇻🇳 — Day 15
Making a ring for each other at Lotus Jewellery Hoi An 💍, a relaxing massage, street-side bánh mì perfection 🥖, a lantern boat ride through Hoi An, and making a wish as we lit candles on the water ✨

Magical colours everywhere 🌈

Would you do the lantern boat ride?

Some days are all about settling in and soaking it up 😍

21 Days in Vietnam 🇻🇳 — Day 14
Packing up and saying a big thank you to An at The Pearl 💛, wandering through the beautiful colours of Hoi An Ancient Town, people-watching by the river, and checking into Thanh Binh Riverside Hotel — where we can see the lantern boats from our bed ✨

Finished the day back at V Vegan because yes… I still love my Cầu Lầu 🍜

River views or ancient town vibes — which would you choose?

Some places just steal your heart 😍

21 Days in Vietnam 🇻🇳 — Day 13
Breakfast buffet at The Pearl ✨, our very first day exploring Hoi An Ancient Town, a little rain adding to the magic 🌧️, and discovering what might be the best restaurant ever — V Vegan.

Cầu Lầu is officially my new favourite meal 🍜

Have you been to Hoi An?

Some days just feel like pure travel magic 😍

21 Days in Vietnam 🇻🇳 — Day 12
Walking across the Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills with it almost all to ourselves ✨, wandering through the gardens like the whole place was made just for us 🌿, VIP lines and skipping the queues 😄, checking into The Pearl Hoi An 🏨, a peaceful beach walk, and an incredible dinner at Moon Café in An Bang 🌅

Would you wake up early for a moment like this?

One of those days we’ll never forget 😍

21 Days in Vietnam 🇻🇳 — Day 11
Saying goodbye to Da Nang and heading to Ba Na Hills ✨, taking in the views from the cable car (way higher than we imagined but so worth it 😄), checking into a hotel room inside a castle 🏰, conquering a roller coaster we were proud of ourselves for 🎢, a night-time photo shoot, and finishing the day with a drag show 🌈

Would you ride the cable car or the roller coaster first?
