Travels in Southeast Asia: awesome food and colors in Thailand and Vietnam
Since October of 2019 I’ve been living in Korea and working as an English teacher. I wanted a change of pace from my work as a wedding photographer which I can always choose to do again in the future. An awesome thing about this job is that I get 5 weeks of paid vacation and my holiday started pretty quickly after my arrival- in January!
From January 10-25th I traveled around Thailand Vietnam with my friend John- we saw Bangkok for 5 days and then flew to Vietnam and traveled around to Saigon, Hoi An and Hanoi. Look below to see some of the beautiful street scenes I saw, the food I ate, and some of the things that caught my eye. I took so few photos as I don’t like carrying my camera all the time when I’m traveling but I think these images can give you a sense of the beauty that is in these cultures and hopefully inspire you to plan your own trip!
