Honey Travels: Our recent sojourns (August 2025)
1. Hoi An
My recent sojourn to Hoi An has successfully revived my wanderlust. This northern Vietnamese coastal town holds a unique charm that you’ll discover in passing troops of motorbikes, aged architecture, and its friendly and curious inhabitants. Despite the crowds, I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent at the Hoi An Ancient Town, where locals and tourists seeking a weekend getaway mingle along Japanese-style streets, Chinese temples, and Cantonese-style houses. I would recommend Hoi An for anyone interested in exploring the culture, arts, and history of their destination.

This cluster of islands off the west Taiwanese coast boasts stunning sky and ocean views that look like paradise. Expect a laid-back excursion away from the crowds and the hustle and bustle, where you’ll encounter friendly locals, savour unique local eats, and take a walk towards the end of the world at the Penghu Stone Bridge.

Although its bright and sunny days might be attractive, the heat is not always pleasant in Sanya during the summer months. We’d recommend planning a visit in late summer and early autumn instead.
