    Couldn't have found a better tour guide!
    I've been traveling for two years Mexico to the North of South America. Currently in Colombia.
    Next Spring I'm flying into Da nang. My first trip to SEA.
    Your video will make for a stress free first week in Vietnam.
    Thanks!

      So happy I can help you!🙌
