Caving in Quang Binh Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park

As if my jet leg alone was not enough already to get me sleepless nights in Ho Chi Minh City. The morning after my arrival in Vietnam we had to meet up in the Lobby of the Grand Hotel Saigon at 04.00 in the morning for our trip to Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park. We were about to travel to Quang Binh Province to check out all the tourist spots in the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park. It wasn't my first trip to Vietnam, but it was my first time to this part of the country.

All You Need To Know About a Vietnam Tourist Visa in 2023

One of the most annoying things about traveling around the world is visas. Some visas are really easy to get but others can be a pain in the ass. There are countries I still have not been because of the visa restrictions. Although lately it was my 4th trip to Vietnam the hassle to get a visa on arrival in Vietnam still annoys me. Must say over the last years it got easier and easier.

Trip to Ho Chi Minh City ITE 2018

 

A year passed by since I last visited Ho Chi Minh City. Exactly one year ago ITE HCMC 2017 was a great trip and since I kept so many good memories about visiting Vietnam I decided to come back this year for ITE HCMC 2018. The largest travel trade show in Vietnam is called the International Travel Expo and is annually held in Ho Chi Minh City.

Review Grand Hotel Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City

 

Last year when I visited Ho Chi Minh City for ITE 2017 I also stayed in the city central of Saigon. It was a pleasure staying at the Myst Dong Khoi and I named it the best boutique hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. This year when I came back for ITE 2018 I slept on the other side of the street in the Grand Hotel Saigon, an iconic property in Saigon.

Is Mekong Delta worth visiting? 9 Things to do

 

As part of our press trip to ITE Ho Chi Minh City we were able to choose a fam trip destination somewhere around Saigon. It was already more than 8 years ago I was in the South of Vietnam the last time so I decided to go on a Mekong Delta tour and see if I could still remember something of my trip around the world in 2009.

International Travel Expo Ho Chi Minh City

Being back home in Holland was lovely but I knew there was another adventure waiting for me. A couple weeks ago while I was driving around in Nusa Penida in Indonesia I got the confirmation that I was selected as one of the bloggers to come to Ho Chi Minh City to attend a Travel Trade Show. After the World Tourism Forum in Istanbul last February this was going to be my second Travel Conference and I could not wait to hop on a plane and get my ass back to Vietnam!

 traveltomtom about

Nice to meet you! I am Tom an avid adventure traveler from The Netherlands on the road for almost 11 years now, living a full time nomadic life in close to 160 countries around the world. Back in 2008 I did my first trip around the world and ever since I got the travel bug. Since 2012 I am continuously traveling the world, now already more than 3,900 days. Yes, that is more than 10 years of constantly exploring, not living abroad, but the real deal: constantly traveling!

My passion to inspire and help other travelers to travel the world turned into a lifestyle. When I started this travel blog I never though it would give me the freedom to travel the world, whenever and wherever. So what started as a passion ended up in a dream coming true...

I am also super grateful to have an amazing Traveltomtom community supporting me on social media. The Traveltomtom channels reach far over 1 million followers on TikTok (850K) and Instagram (500K).

After visiting 100 countries by the end of 2019 I felt inspired to visit every country in the world. However, along the way I found out it is not my thing to turn traveling into a challenge. I travel because it is my passion, I travel to learn, to become a better person and to feel alive and live in the moment. For me life is about chasing happiness, not goals!

Traveltomtom has hosted very successful group trip in the past. Interested to join me on one of my trips? Check out my Traveltomtom Group Trip page for one of the exciting upcoming group trips.

Traveling makes me a better person with ever day I am on the road. And to all adventurers: don’t waste time, live now!
