Backpacking to Vietnam

The idea came about when I, sadly, decided to cancel my Mount Kinabalu trip due to lack of interested and serious people need to cut the cost of the climb.

Question is why did I want to start a blog? Well very simply it all started when I had to complete an ICT module, where I had to get my hand dirty, by actively using blogs and evaluating them.

On hindsight, I look forward to posting articles about the world around us, unique situations and things, which can only be found in certain parts of the world and also my food and travel discoveries.
