Jet Set Zero

No matter what type of travelling you do, the first order of business when you land in a new place is to find a place to stay. We knew that when we arrived in Saigon, we would be exhausted and potentially jet lagged, so we pre-booked a guesthouse for the first two nights...

Jen, Kris and Serene decide to pamper themselves, and hand their bodies to the (almost) expert hands of a Vietnamese masseuse/masseur.

What do I think of Ho Chi Minh? Crazy. Exhausting. Different. Awesome.

The only thing worse than working a job is looking for a job. Finding employment in a foreign country is rarely easy – you often land not knowing a soul and are unsure of where to start. There’s also the current economic crunch whose fingers reach farther than you would think. At...
