I'm heading to the Con Dao Islands in Vietnam with a group of friends for a 14-day getaway from January 15 to January 28, 2026. Known for their untouched beauty and historical significance, the islands offer a perfect blend of relaxation and exploration. We'll be exploring the pristine beaches, diving into the rich marine life, and delving into the intriguing history of these islands. Since we haven't booked a hotel, we'll be opting for local homestays or guesthouses to immerse ourselves in the local culture and support sustainable tourism. The trip promises a mix of adventure and relaxation amidst stunning natural beauty, with good company making it all the more enjoyable.
