Why you should always follow that gut instinct!
I will always remember the day I met Lac Tran, it was 2 days after I had left Saigon and I was relaxing in a hostel in Mui Ne. “Hello, how are you?” chimed in my ear and standing beside me was a man with a map. It was at that point I became enchanted by…
