If you were to ask me where my favorite place to visit of all time is, I would pretty immediately say that Japan was hands down one of the best places I’ve travelled.

Read MoreThere's not much explanation needed for this blog post. When you make a trip to Hanoi, make sure to add all of these foods to your list of things to try.
