Hey guys! Quick note from Mitch & Jan 👋
We hope you’ve been enjoying our Southeast Asia videos so far — because honestly, we are absolutely loving being back over here.
And don’t worry… there are still lots more Southeast Asia adventures coming your way.
But we also know this is the time of year when many people start thinking about summer travel, and there’s one place in Canada that completely stole our hearts…
🇨🇦 Newfoundland.
After exploring a lot of the island, we realized something — there’s actually a perfect way to experience the highlights in about two weeks.
So we decided to put together:
🗺️ The Perfect 14-Day Newfoundland Road Trip
An itinerary designed to help you experience the dramatic coastlines, colourful fishing villages, whales, icebergs, and incredible scenery that make Newfoundland so special — without feeling rushed.
We also created a downloadable travel guide to go along with it to make planning even easier.
So while the Southeast Asia adventures continue, we’re taking a quick detour back to Canada to help anyone thinking about a Newfoundland trip this summer.
👇 Tell us below
Have you ever been to Newfoundland? Or is it still on your bucket list?

NEW VIDEO IS LIVE 🎥🇻🇳
NINH BINH, Vietnam completely surprised us.
We climbed for one of the most incredible views in the country, explored the rivers below, and discovered why so many people say this is better than Ha Long Bay.
If you're planning Vietnam, this might deserve a spot on your itinerary.
Would you choose Ninh Binh or Ha Long Bay?

Is THIS Vietnam’s most underrated destination? 🤯🇻🇳
We honestly had no idea Ninh Binh would look like this… towering limestone mountains, peaceful rivers winding through the countryside, and views that completely surprised us.
It felt like Ha Long Bay… but on land.
New episode drops tomorrow 🎥
Have you heard of Ninh Binh before?

🍜 NEW VIDEO: Hanoi Street Food Tour 🇻🇳
We joined a local-led Hanoi food tour and it took us to places we would NEVER have found on our own. Our guide even brought us to spots her parents have eaten at for years — the kind of tiny local eateries travellers usually walk right past.
We tried a mix of classic dishes and a few things totally new to us, and learned a lot about Hanoi’s food culture along the way.
If you’re planning Vietnam (or just love food travel), we think you’ll enjoy this one ❤️
Have you ever done a food tour while travelling? Worth it or not? Tell us below 👇

🇻🇳 New Video is LIVE: Hanoi – Our First Impressions 🇻🇳
Hanoi surprised us… in good ways and in ways we honestly didn’t expect.
From the energy around Hoàn Kiếm Lake 🌃 to the food, the chaos, the charm — this city is intense, fascinating, and very different from anywhere we’ve been before. But there was one thing that really shocked us, and it’s something we think anyone planning a trip here should know about 👀
In this video, we share:
✔️ What we loved right away
✔️ What caught us off guard
✔️ When we would (and wouldn’t) recommend visiting
✔️ Practical tips to help you avoid the biggest downside
If Hanoi is on your travel list — or even if you’re just curious — this one’s for you.
🎥 Watch now and let us know in the comments:
Would you still visit Hanoi after seeing this… and what surprised you most?
❤️ Mitch & Jan
