I worked in an office in Viljandi for five years. Burnout came and I took a vacation. I flew to Vietnam alone without much of a plan. I got the visa in two days; I applied on Monday and had it by Wednesday.

Ha Long Bay was the place I wanted to see. An overnight cruise on a ship through the limestone mountains. In the morning, the sun broke through the fog and the view was like from another world. Photos don’t do that feeling justice.

Eight days later, I was on a plane back. I was more rested than I had been in a long time. Sometimes you just have to get away. Vietnam was perfect for that.
