    Sun, Snow and Rain in the Alps (Switzerland)

    April 4, 2023 /

    Switzerland has always been on WJ and my bucket list, and when I had to go there for a work trip, we took the chance to extend it another 9 days for a holiday. While March wasn't the ideal time to visit, what with the unstable weather, it was too good a chance to pass up!

    City Life in Melbourne

    Melbourne was never meant as the “main feature” of this trip - Tasmania was. But that’s not to say we didn’t enjoy Melbourne. We did!

    Just four weeks after our short trip to Ho Chi Minh, we went on another short trip back to Ho Chi Minh. But since we had five days this time, we also hopped on a minibus to nearby Vung Tau for a change of scenery, and only spent the last day in Ho Chi Minh.

    The last time we were in Ho Chi Minh, WJ and I managed to get stuck in the toilet of our hotel room. And he had to kick a hole in the door for me to crawl through to get help. Thankfully, nothing epic happened this time. We just had simple fun exploring the city!

What attracted us was its blend of old-world charm and vibrant student life, and we knew we had to visit the city while planning our trip to Germany!
