Vagabonding
 This blog began in 2006 when Malcolm and I left Australia to travel around the world. Our adventures brought us to Hanoi, which has now become my home away from home. I continue to tell my stories, as an ex-pat living in Hanoi, which also involves plenty of travelling around Vietnam and the Asian region.If you want to send a personal message, email me at simone.samuels[at]gmail dot com In addition to the photos posted on this blog, you may also like to check out my flickr photo journal: www.flickr.com/photos/simonesamuels
