Is Phu Quoc actually the untouched paradise everyone says it is? Today, we are keeping it 100% real. 🇻🇳💔 In this travel vlog, I am pulling back the curtain on my trip to Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam. While social media is full of perfectly manicured luxury resort photos, we are taking an unedited, honest walk down a public stretch of the beach that is dealing with a serious environmental challenge: plastic pollution, ocean debris, and washed-up trash. As travelers and digital nomads, it's so important to see and discuss the raw reality of over-tourism and seasonal currents on these beautiful islands. After facing the elements on the coast, we are heading inland to wash off the sand and lift our spirits with a fantastic, well-deserved lunch at Thai La. We are diving into a vibrant menu packed with bold, comforting flavors to see how the local culinary scene holds up.
