EMBRACING THE CHAOS OF VIETNAM by Sarah Wanden With just my tent, I had just circumnavigated Australia for three months and was looking forward to finding somewhere to stay with a proper roof for a while. Without any particular plan I logged onto Trusted Housesitters and began looking for an interesting house sit within the southern hemisphere. Vietnam was coming up trumps so that’s where I focused my efforts. I make contact with Aiden and Susana in Lam Dong Province, Da Lat, Vietnam - yup I've no idea where that is either. I see pictures of Toby the dog, seems small and cute, and we start chatting on WhatsApp. Aiden seems fun and sends me heaps of info. I do a little research and discover a good flight price, from Melbourne (where I am) to Bali then Ho Chi Minh City and on to Da Lat.
Getting there takes patience Very soon I am on the first flight and realise I've left my air-pods at the money exchange desk inside the airport. Dammit… I begin to think I’ll not see them again! I LOVE my air-pods... podcasts and Ted Talks keep me sane on flights!
