We have visited some amazing places on this trip. We left Beijing, China in awe of its chaotic mix of old and new. Hoian, Vietnam welcomed us with open arms and a surplus of charm. The sandy white beaches of Koh Samui and Aonang, Thailand were life altering and reminded me of my childhood dreams of wanting to live in a bungalow on the beach.
