Family Adventure in Real Vietnam! 🇻🇳
A memorable Jeep tour with two little explorers on board! 🚙✨
We visited traditional crafts families—watched how incense and sleeping mats are made by hand. The kids loved learning from the locals and even tried making some themselves!
The day ended with lots of laughs on the round basket boats 🚣♂️—spinning and splashing through the water coconut forest.
This is Vietnam through the eyes of a local, and a perfect day for families who want something real, fun, and unforgettable. 🌿

Less - crowded, beautiful beaches in Da Nang and Hoi An
🌊 Da Nang

Tucked away at the foot of Son Tra Peninsula, Bai Rang offers crystal-clear waters, rocky outcrops, and a serene vibe. Ideal for swimming or enjoying seafood at rustic beach shacks.
2. Bai But Beach
A quiet spot on Son Tra Peninsula, known for calm waves, clean sand, and a sacred Buddhist statue nearby. Great for a relaxing day and taking in local culture.
3. Nam O Beach
Located in the north of Da Nang, Nam O is peaceful and rich in local fishing village culture. Don’t miss the famous gỏi cá Nam Ô (raw fish salad).
🌴 Hoi An

As its name suggests, Hidden Beach is a peaceful stretch between An Bang and Cua Dai. It’s less commercialized, perfect for travelers seeking quiet relaxation with a few local eateries around.
5. Ha My Beach
A calm, pristine beach north of An Bang, Ha My offers white sand, clear waters, and a tranquil atmosphere with fewer tourists. Ideal for a quiet swim or sunset walk.
6. Cua Dai (early morning or evening)
While Cua Dai can get busy during the day, it’s wonderfully quiet at sunrise or after 5 PM. Locals come for walks and the view is stunning.

The Final Flight of a Dream…
Pratik Joshi had lived in London for the past six years. As a software engineer, he had long nurtured a dream — a dream of a brighter future in a foreign land, for his wife and their three young children who remained in India.
After years of waiting, planning, paperwork, and hope… that dream was finally coming true. Just two days ago, his wife — Dr. Komi Vyas — had submitted her resignation. The suitcases were packed, farewells had been said, and a bright new life in London was calling.
This morning, the whole family of five — filled with excitement, hope, and plans — boarded Air India Flight 171 to London. They snapped a selfie and sent it to loved ones. A one-way trip, opening the door to a brand new chapter.
But… they never arrived.
The plane crashed.
No one survived.
In a single moment, an entire lifetime of dreams turned to ashes. A brutal reminder of how terrifyingly fragile life is. Everything we build, everything we hope for, everyone we love… all hanging by a thread.
So, while we still can: live, love, and don’t wait for “someday” to start being happy.
If the moment allows, take that trip. Eat that dish. Help that person.
Because “someday” might never come.
Deepest condolences to all those who lost their lives on Flight AI171. May their souls rest in peace. 💔🕯️
