Instagram post 2195878459191828358_404629496 Land of the pagodas! Myanmar has thousands (maybe millions?) of them 🛎

This was taken at the most sacred of all pagodas in Myanmar, and perhaps the oldest Buddhist stupa in the world: Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon. It’s actually more like a complex of pagodas, rather than a single one. Shwedagon Pagoda is said to contain the relics of 4 Buddhas that reached enlightenment and the main Pagoda is 326 ft. high! Given the hustle and bustle of Yangon, this was a nice retreat! #dineandfashtravels #dineandfashtravelstomyanmar #shwedagon #shwedagonpagoda

Instagram post 2195136471823629760_404629496 Mingalabar (Greetings) from Myanmar 👋🏽 Have been a bit off the grid for the past couple days because we’ve been adventuring in Bagan, Myanmar. I CAN’T WAIT to show you guys what we’ve been up to!

But in the meantime, our trip to Myanmar started in the largest city - Yangon. We enjoyed all the comforts of home at @suleshangrila (a much needed place to stay to ease our way into this bustling city)! The views of Yangon from the Horizon Club were pretty awesome (as were the evening cocktails 😉). Have you ever thought about traveling to Myanmar? If not, pretty sure I can convince you by the end of my trip content 🙊. #dineandfashtravels #dineandfashtravelstomyanmar #myanmar #suleshangrila

Instagram post 2194013720663995309_404629496 A little slice of heaven in Hanoi! 💕

Sharing one last photo/video from Vietnam (for the time being, anyway). This was on the balcony of our hotel room on our last day in Vietnam. Staying in the Old Quarter is nice, but the rooms are TINY (ours was 200 sq. ft. to be exact). While Alex chose this hotel, I had to really insist on getting this room for this very reason. It was such a nice contrast to the busy and frantic Old Quarter, and I loved watching the world go by with a cup of coffee in hand! #dineandfashtravels #dineandfashtravelstovietnam #hanoi #vietnam

Ha Long Bay is one of the New Seven Natural Wonders of the world and is a UNESCO World Heritage site - for good reason! The nearly 2,000 limestone cliffs in the bay are just astonishing and you really need to see them with your own eyes.

We actually cruised to a smaller part of Ha Long Bay called Bai Tu Long Bay with @indochinajunk. Kudos to my husband, Alex, for taking the lead on the research because our boat was super spacious, and since we went to a more private part of the bay, we didn’t have to worry about seeing a tonne of other boats and people around us. Definitely helped make the experience that much more special! Have to say that Ha Long Bay wasn’t initially at the top of my list for Vietnam, but so glad we did this cruise! ⛴

Is Ha Long Bay on your bucket list? #dineandfashtravels #dineandfashtravelstovietnam #indochinajunk #halongbay #baitulongbay

Instagram post 2192218640166022089_404629496 Hoi An lanterns during the day versus at night. Which is your fave - photo 1, 2, or 3? 🏮

Hands down, my favourite part about Hoi An were the lanterns. They could be found everywhere and made the entire old town feel like such a magical place - whether by day or by night! Have you been to Hoi An? If not, you need to add it to your bucket list! #dineandfashtravels #dineandfashtravelstovietnam #hoian #hoianvietnam

Instagram post 2191524519084322403_404629496 "Vietnam. It grabs you and doesn’t let you go. Once you love it, you love it forever." - Anthony Bourdain

Tony was really onto something.

You know what’s funny? I’d much rather be behind the camera than in front of it. The greatest joy I get from travel is capturing local life and every day scenes, and Vietnam has been no exception. In fact, it has exceeded all my expectations. But the photos that I love most aren’t always the ones that make it to the Instagram feed, ya know? A few of you have suggested a separate account for these types of shots and I’m seriously considering it.

Swipe left to see some of my favourite captures in Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta. #dineandfashtravels #dineandfashtravelstovietnam #vietnam #mekongdelta #hochiminhcity

Instagram post 2190776139949471900_404629496 Morning on the Mekong ✨

One of my favourite experiences in Vietnam was our morning trip to the Mekong Delta. Over 20 million people live and work on these waterways and it’s Vietnam’s most important fishing region. We visited Cai Rang, the biggest floating market in the world, right at the crack of dawn. It was pretty surreal to see all the local vendors selling produce to passersby directly from their boat while the sun was rising off in the distance.

Also had my new favourite Vietnamese dish on the boat (bun thit nuong). This was definitely worth the 2:30 a.m. pick-up from Ho Chi Minh City, and I would say this is a must-do experience, when in Vietnam!

Swipe left to see a little video of our morning at Cai Rang floating market! #mekongdelta #dineandfashtravelstovietnam #dineandfashtravels
