Where I went

Thailand

Bangkok & Chiang Mai

Started in Bangkok — the chaos, the food, the temples. The Grand Palace felt surreal. Then north to Chiang Mai for a much slower pace, Sunday markets, and a coffee plantation that made the most incredible pour-over I've ever tasted.

Vietnam

Hanoi, Ha Long Bay & Hoi An

Hanoi's Old Quarter is a complete sensory overload — in the best way. Ha Long Bay is genuinely as dramatic as the photos suggest. Hoi An at night, with all the lanterns, was one of those moments.

Bali

Ubud for the culture and rice terraces, Seminyak for the sunsets and surf. Bali has this energy that's hard to describe — chaotic but peaceful at the same time.

Cambodia

Siem Reap & Angkor Wat

Woke up at 4am to catch sunrise at Angkor Wat. It's one of those things that lives up to the hype completely. The scale of the temples is humbling.
