Great list and one I will recommend to anyone asking. It would be too hard for my to narrow it down to just 9 but the ones you chose, they are great!

I was not allowed to have a phone until I was 18 and able to apply for one myself. These days, you don't need a credit line or any proof, or contract. You can easily get a pay-as-you-go plan. I think ...

I have never gone nor considered it as I tend to avoid any major holidays when it comes to travel. It doesn't matter if it is local or in another country, I don't want to travel in the height of busy ...

Diet is probably easier but if someone struggles with food addictions or stress eating, it likely won't be. It comes down to your age and free time. For me, it is easier to eat less than it is to stic...

So the average is 77 degrees Fahrenheit? That sounds really nice. I know other areas in Vietnam have more fluctuation but this sounds like a great "all year" vacation spot for most people.

Maybe? I really don't know. I am not on the platform and I don't know if anyone I know uses it. It isn't something we talk about. I am sure some people in my family still make use of it. Not very man...

I don't travel during the holiday season. I don't do planes or anything. I did once years ago and it was a nightmare. I don't go on any trips from November 15th until January 15th.

I generally enjoy just walking around and watching people. I know it sounds lame but I love to take in a culture and a new area by seeing what is around me and being observant. So I would get somethin...

I think for me the best time would be early in the year to go here seeing as I would love to make use of my time spending it on the beaches. I love to see ocean and sea life. I have never been to the ...

Love this. I am always trying to find the best spots to eat anywhere I go on a trip or vacation. Vietnam has so much going on that it is easy to overlook some amazing spots to get some great street fo...

I think the Philippines has better weather and more interesting island and beach life. It is more colorful and almost somewhat of a fairy tale in appearance in many locations. I think if you want to e...

I have yet to stay in a luxury hotel anywhere but comparing prices, it seems like I may just be able to afford it in Hanoi. Even if it is only for a few days. Would be fund to experience it!

I have been watching different areas and I can't find one place that has not been negatively impacted in some shape, way, or form. I think Sweden is one of the very few to have not had such a heavy im...

I read about Vung Tau years back and have seen some people showcase their trips on some travel blogs I read but it seems like it is still very much a secret vacation spot. Not many people seem to trav...

Just go with whatever color you like but one thing I tend to do is stay neutral cause I like to change my bedding and such in my bedroom too often and don't want to be tied into one color set.
