Four days, three nights, one motorbike and countless meals to remember. Riding the Ha Giang Loop with @hagianglooptour took us deep into the mountains of northern Vietnam, where every village served a new taste of authenticity. From steaming bowls of pho and crispy bánh mì breakfasts to dinners shared over shots of “happy water,” it was a journey of flavor, freedom, and friendship. Between breathtaking views and strong phin-brewed coffee stops, we discovered that the best way to know a place is through its food and the people who share it.

This summer, we had the unforgettable experience of living and working at Mio Lodge, a luxury fishing lodge in Iceland, where two rivers meet near the ocean. Nestled in complete wilderness, the lodge offers world-class fly fishing for Arctic salmon, combined with cozy hospitality, candlelit dinners, and locally sourced cuisine. From cooking Icelandic lamb and fresh river fish to serving elegant meals by the fireplace, our time at Mio Lodge was a perfect blend of adventure, culinary creativity, and connection to nature. Part of the Six Rivers Project, the lodge is committed to conserving wild Arctic salmon while providing an unparalleled luxury experience in one of the most remote corners of Iceland.
