Vicki OfflandWhen you travel somewhere new for the first time you can always feel a little bit âlostâ as you donât know where anything is; the gym, the supermarket, the money exchange etc.. Whilst it is quite easy to find most things using the power of Google and Google Maps, sometimes you may be looking for something quite specific or uncommon; like a printing shop or a church.
We hope our âSaved Placesâ will make it much easier and quicker for you to settle in during your first week in Vietnam!
