Hue - Vietnam

I did the DMZ tour while getting to Hue from Phon Nha.
The tour was ok, the tunnels are impressive and it’s good to learn about history and see the tunnel. The tour guide was very funny!
The museum was a bit poor, the tour guide explain nothing, I was expecting some sort of explanation.

Hue is a cheap place to stay, there are dorms for 2-3$ and with breakfast included.

Places to stay
Sunshine hostel: nothing special but very clean and cheap with breakfast.

Places to eat/drink
There are lots of options

Places to visit/ things to do
The citadel: it’s a nice place if you like architecture and old buildings.
You can walk from the town center or by tuc tuc.
The abandoned water park: everybody who has been there like it...they say it’s small.
The 3 tombs: you can combine this tour with the water park.
The night market is also good, if you are brave enough you can try local food!

If your next destination is Hoi An you can rent a scooter and do hai Van Pass.
Your hostel can arrange it for you and take your bag to your next accommodation, it’s very convenient as they bring the motorcycle to your hostel.
Other places to rent:
Huemotorbikerental
Places to stop on the way
Fishing Village
Elephant springs
Lang Co beach
Hai Van pass
China beach
Da Nang city
Marble mountain

Indonesia, a life-changing experience!

Image
Indonesia is special to me... After traveling several months, I can say it is my favorite country in SE Asia. Why? Because it has many good things, the first and best, the people in Bali, the kindest people I ever met, probably due to their culture/religion. I think karma is a good thing if it’s used properly. The landscapes are amazing... the wild cliffs with the the brave sea...it’s unbelievable! And my favorite view point of the whole trip is in Padar Island in Komodo National park, with magic SUNRISES!! The sea life is blowing minding...turtles, mantas, sharks, all sort of fishes... If you like hiking, there are plenty of volcanos with unforgettable sunrises & sunsets. Exquisite food! Something I love when traveling, taste different flavors!! Full of experiences, parties and obviously surf!!! My Indonesia Itinerary in 26 days: 5 Days in Kuta  4 Days on Wanua boat trip  2 Days in Gili Air  3 Days in Gili T 6 Days in Ubud  1 Day in Canggu

North Laos

Image
I took a whole package to cross the border from ChiangRai (Thailand) to Huay Xai (Laos), all transports included and the slow boat, it was a bit expensive but very easy and convenient for crossing the border. At the north from Huay Xai, I took the slow boat to Luang Prabang throught the Mekon river and stopped in Pak Beng. The experience was nice and the landscape,  it it was a bit long, 2 days on the boat, people spend most of their time reading. Tips: bring your own food/drinks and book your stay at Pak Beng when you arrive, it is much cheaper. At Pak Beng, the Indian Restaurants are very good. Other recommendations in the north: I have heard very good things about Gibbon experience and jungle trekking at Luang Namtha. Once in Luan Prabang, there are lots of hostels, you can use Booking.com Things to do Visit KuanSi waterfalls (better to go early in the morning) Walk to the top of the waterfall and if you continue walking few km you will find a very nice area to relax

Keeloma Boat expedition from El Nido to Coron - The Philippines

Something you have to do once in life...you probably end up repeating! Keeloma Boat expedition from El Nido to Coron. We met at El Nido v an terminal at 7am in the morning and drove to Sibaltan where we took the boat. Day 1 First stop was Magransing Island with a sand bar where you could walk on it although tide was a bit high, we also did snorkeling and saw lots of fishes! Perfect place for a drone!!! We were the only ones in that island! We had lunch on the boat over looking at the secluded Tackling island, our second stop. Then we swam and relax on this remote island. We continued with the boat towards our next stop, cliff jumping at Doble nueve. After that we went to the campsite based at Patoyo island, where we had dinner and drinks before going to bed. Day 2 We woke up early to watch the beautiful sunrise and had an early breakfast before we got on the boat again at island time. We stopped in 4 different spots all at Linapacan and did snorkeling, swam i
