Hello from Da Nang! My one month in Vietnam ends this week, and for the first time in ages, I haven’t got a plan for next week. I’m waiting for some other travel dates to lock in, so as an article from last week’s newsletter said, no-reservations travel sets you free. It will probably involve getting on a train from the largest railway station in Southeast Asia, which is this week’s article.
