Is the view worth the chaos? Divina certainly seems to think so.

After the calm of Cat Ba Island, we are immediately plunged back into the deep end of Vietnamese travel. This week, we tackle the infamous night bus—a completely packed, aggressively delayed, and often baffling ride that tests our patience and our exceptional-decision-making sanity.

But when we finally arrive at La Pán Tẩn, Mu Cang Chai, we get our reward: one of the most breathtaking scenes we’ve encountered thus far. Here, life moves at a different pace, defined by the colorful and simple existence of the local Hmong indigenous people. We share stories from the rice paddies that climb impossibly steep hillsides, the unexpected deluge of rain, and what it’s like to witness an authentic way of life untouched by the tourist crowds.

Join us as we trade a restless night for an unforgettable view, and find out what happens when you trust destiny to deliver beauty—even if it's soaking wet.

Five days after landing in Hanoi, Divina has spoken. Our destination? The towering, jungle-clad peaks of Cat Ba Island, Vietnam, and the iconic karst landscape of Ha Long Bay.

It feels good to be out of the city and finally getting into some real nature. This week, we deal with the logistics of getting to the island and start the process of settling into this exceptional new life. With no deadlines or to-do lists, we immediately book a boat to experience the sheer, majestic scale of Ha Long Bay.

Although the UNESCO world heritage site is a massive draw to the area there is also plenty of magic to experience in the centre of the island, exploring the dense jungle and steep peaks of the national park.

We threw away the map and handed the compass to Divina. Join us on our tropical island escape and find how this leap of faith is already delivering the kind of rewards money can't buy.

We sold the furniture, quit the jobs, and bought a one-way ticket to Hanoi. This isn't any old holiday—it's an experiment in exceptional decision-making.

This is the start of a new adventure. In this debut episode, we hit the ground running (or perhaps, dodging motorbikes) in Vietnam's chaotic, beautiful capital. Forget the "top ten things to see" list; this is the raw, unfiltered story of what happens when two people trade stability for the absolute unknown.

Join us as we hand over the map and the compass to Divina, trusting that exceptional decisions are always rewarded.
