I wasn’t sure how to celebrate my birthday this year. I wanted to do something different and was originally planning to throw a party. I’ve curated my guest list since Feb but at the last minute thought, why not just fly someplace new? Invited my friend @jechodionisio and he immediately said yes, haha best spontaneous decision of ‘24. 🫶🏼
On our first hour landing, the FIRST thing I saw as we were looking for a place to eat was a full grown man - fully naked and fully sleeping on the floor. I already knew Vietnam was ready to give me everything and 72 hours will never be enough to enjoy this vibrant, beautiful city. 🌆
Here’s a glimpse of everything we did in Ho Chi Minh. There will be a part 2 because that next place is something else!!!! I hope you enjoyyyy the b-rolls 😘
