Hanoi
The capital of Vietnam and the final destination of our journey – a city that overwhelmed our senses, similarly to HCMC and yet totally different. Hanoi serves as an excellent base for visiting nearby attractions such as Sa Pa, Ha Long Bay, the Ha Giang Loop, and Ninh Binh. However, the city itself offers a…

Ha Giang Loop
Embarking on the Ha Giang Loop was another unforgettable adventure during our journey through Vietnam. Over the course of three days, we drove through stunning mountain landscapes, passed remote villages, and stopped at breathtaking viewpoints – at least where the fog wasn’t dominating. Along the way, we caught glimpses of the rich cultures of the…

Ninh Binh
Our journey to Ninh Binh on a sleeper bus turned out to be another authentic travel experience. Waiting for the delayed bus at a gas station, with two by locals blasting Vietnamese music videos from YouTube, was unexpectedly entertaining. Long story short – the sleeper bus was comfortable but arrived in Ninh Binh a full…

Panama Canal
It’s time to fly back to Panama City. This time around disappointingly four minutes earlier than scheduled – they surely set a high standard on the first flight. The Panama Canal, Panamas biggest employer with 10’000 employees, a wonder of the modern world and historically the source of its financial prosperity. As technically and historically…

Up in the Hill – Bastimentos
Where do I start? Today was mind boggling in many ways. I’ll try my best to keep it as short and compact as possible. Up in the Hill is a permaculture farm, that produces cacao among other things and is located on the highest point of the isle Bastimentos. The permaculture farm Up in the…
