Da Nang, Vietnam felt like an escape. I love that it is just a 3-hour flight from Manila, but offers a real adventure with its mix of French and Asian cultural influences – especially that, we went around via Vietnam’s mode of transportation – motorcycle.
You can read about my experience flying from Manila to Da Nang directly via Cebu Pacific Air.
I also shared tips on how to go around, book an eSIM, FOREX, and, best time to visit.
