Jenia’s Perfect Travel Day
Washington D.C. winter 2014-2015 has been brutal. It’s March 6, and we are covered in a blanket of snow.

Vietnam Itinerary
How we spent 37 days in Vietnam, and you can too! Vietnam is deceptively large. We spent five weeks here and still could travel for five more without repeat destinations!

72 Hours in Hanoi
There are travelers who have never picked up a guidebook in their life, or, did so once and promptly put it back down (ahem, Sergey). Then, there are travelers who like to know the destination like the back of their hand before they arrive (who, me?) Coming from the opposite ends of the spectrum on travel
