Vietnam

We spent 3 nights in southern Vietnam, in the city of Saigon (or Ho Chi Minh City). We hit up everything there was to see in a short amount of time and packed our days with history lessons, great Vietnamese food, and speakeasy bars.
Singapore

6 days in Singapore and we still felt like we had more to explore! A few of the locals seemed confused that we would spend 6 days in Singapore (to the locals, Singapore can feel very small), but we found the city had a variety of things to offer. It may be a small island, but feels incredibly opportunistic.
New Zealand

We stayed in New Zealand for 9 days, staying in 2 different metropolitan cities, visited the famous Waiheke Island and celebrated Christmas in Queenstown, and spend a full day touring Milford Sound and the surrounding Fiordland National Park.
Costa Rica

We spent 10 days in Costa Rica, staying at 3 separate properties all in different parts of the country.
Greece

We spent almost 11 days in Greece touring around all we could of the Grecian Islands. Athens is an incredible place to visit when the weather isn’t too hot, Santorini (more specifically Oia), is a great small spot to relax and vacation (when it’s not overrun by the cruise boat pedestrian traffic).
