Attention hotel booking sites! I would like to be able to share the hotel I just booked with my friends, so put an easy 'share' button on the booking page. Also, make it easy to lie about that so that I can pretend to stay in fancy places I can't afford. Thank you.

Is that a good or bad thing?

Just finished editing the Cu Chi Tunnels video. My biggest takeaway? The sheer resilience of the human spirit... and that you should probably eat your Bánh Mì after you get out of the tunnels. It’s a powerful place. youtu.be/4l5nFZVct1A

Luang Prabang: Beautiful as promised. Also, packed. The 'functioning city' vibe gave way to 'tourism industrial complex.' My search for Laos's soul will continue beyond these well-trodden paths. Videos from here? Fewer than planned. #LuangPrabang #Laos #Overtourism #TravelTruths

Where is the rest of that guy's hand?

Just prepped for Laos the best way: fantastic Larb & spicy Tam Mak Houng. Taste buds are re-calibrated! Trip's tomorrow, but videos from Laos are still a ways off. Consider this your exclusive preview. 😉 #LaosFood #Hanoi #TravelPrep #Spicy #NotesFromASeasonedTraveler

Just dropped our first video from Saigon! Starting with the epic Central Post Office. It's a quick watch, but a grand intro to a city we'll be exploring for the rest of the year. Let's go. #Saigon #HCMC #CentralPostOffice #NewSeries #NotesFromASeasonedTraveler youtu.be/Qedd65XNJG4?...

Currently in peak 'travel prep' mode for Laos. Visa ✅ Phone ✅ Lesson plans ✅ My sanity ❓. Send help (and maybe a strong coffee). By the time I'm done, I'll need a vacation from the prep. #TravelRealities #Laos #SeasonedTraveler #TheGrind #NotesFromASeasonedTraveler

Just wrapped up our Can Tho video series with a low-key gem: a communal house & temple well off the tourist path. Missed the floating markets, but a seasoned traveler knows that's just a reason to return. 😉 New video's live! youtu.be/zK9Ba9SxGV8?...

The truly seasoned traveler learns to love the beautiful chaos as much as the pristine view. It's where the best stories are. Pondering from Hanoi. #TravelTruths #SeasonedTraveler #RealTalk #Wanderlust #NotesFromASeasonedTraveler

Just dropped a new video on Đền thờ Vua Hùng in Can Tho. Massive new temple, mostly empty grounds, and a surprise photo op with locals. You never know where you'll find cultural insight... or unexpected fame. 😉 Check it out! youtu.be/48Pp-CX7wTA?...

The truly seasoned traveler understands that 'new horizons' sometimes mean revisiting familiar ones. Less about ticking boxes, more about settling in. My mind's on Laos (again). What's your go-to country for a deeper dive? #TravelThoughts #Laos #SeasonedTraveler #TravelPhilosophy

Current state of travel: it's less about the 'undiscovered' and more about rediscovering the joy in the known, even with the crowds. Still, Southeast Asia always manages to surprise. The trick is to look beyond the obvious. Checking in from Hanoi. #TravelThoughts #SeasonedTraveler #RealTalk

Southeast Asia: where the humidity is a constant companion, the coffee is always strong, and the art of crossing a busy street is a life skill. It's not always comfortable, but it's guaranteed to expand your definition of 'normal.' Diving back into some memories from the region.

Hanoi: where the history is as rich as the coffee, and the traffic moves with a logic only truly understood by locals. It's a city that demands your attention, for better or worse, and rarely disappoints in its authenticity.
