Hanoi air quality is bad when it shows a frowny face. I'm not sure if he's frowning now because of the gas mask.

Malaria, last time they made a movie about a sex worker who moved to NY and shacked up with a con man — it won Best Picture. Never give up. 💪

This one is was a new one on me. The lady outside my apartment sells this rice with peanuts covered in meat floss, which looks like doll hair to me, and I never tried it. It makes for a nice breakfast.

Attention hotel booking sites! I would like to be able to share the hotel I just booked with my friends, so put an easy 'share' button on the booking page. Also, make it easy to lie about that so that I can pretend to stay in fancy places I can't afford. Thank you.

Just finished editing the Cu Chi Tunnels video. My biggest takeaway? The sheer resilience of the human spirit... and that you should probably eat your Bánh Mì after you get out of the tunnels. It’s a powerful place. youtu.be/4l5nFZVct1A

Luang Prabang: Beautiful as promised. Also, packed. The 'functioning city' vibe gave way to 'tourism industrial complex.' My search for Laos's soul will continue beyond these well-trodden paths. Videos from here? Fewer than planned. #LuangPrabang #Laos #Overtourism #TravelTruths
