People often ask me how I ended up in Vietnam and why Vietnam and why we tour
here so let me give you a bit of a bit more of an insight on how all that
happened. When I grew up as a kid my stepfather's brother was one of the
first that was already in the army and headed over to the the Vietnam War, the
American War as they call it. Of course I followed that with great interest of
hearing the families talking about what was going on and seeing snippets on the
news. Interesting enough I always seem to have a great interest in that but of
course my first ever overseas holiday was in fact Vietnam. Coming from
Australia and hadn't really traveled before I was quite shell-shocked. I mean
this is sort of going back nearly 20 years ago and of course with that I soon
started doing like a lot of remote traveling in Vietnam and riding
motorcycles and things like that and really this whole amazing deep culture
and history of Vietnam just sort of started unfolding and it was something like I've
never seen before. You see these things on National Geographic where people go
into these villages where you're almost like the only person and I actually
started doing that and it was just turning it from a textbook or something
watching on a TV to turn into a reality. And coming from my riding
background of growing up in Gippsland Victoria in Australia in the high country
I've actually also been able to ride into these locations it was just this
win-win of this most amazing part of the world. But you've really got to go deep to
see that real Vietnam get away from all the tourist trails. Tourists tend to
stick to these main cities. We go far far away kind of almost right off the
map and that's where the real Vietnam is still there it hasn't really changed and
it's just and it shouldn't change because it's just so amazing.
