Most travelers to Vietnam will take direct transportation from Hanoi to Hue, skipping over an extensive area of Northern Vietnam. In doing so, they’ll also pass over a little gem of a town only 150 kilometers north of Hue: Dong Hoi. Largely devastated during the...
It seems the Spanish have always had more than their fair share of problems with pirates, and not only those in the Caribbean. And, while crossing the Atlantic to reach the Caribbean may seem like a long way to go to check out the history and haunts of buccaneers,...
I’m in love with a small town by the name of Vu Ban. You’ve probably never heard of it, and it’s likely you never will again. The dusty town is about 100 kilometers from anything warranting a city, and there are certainly no ‘attractions’ to be had here. A dirt...
