Bucket List: Vietnam & my powerful Green Tea Scrub

Six Senses Con Dao

Next up on my bucket list of must-visit spa destinations is Vietnam.

And it's such a shame I've never been there given how close I am (in a geographical and philosophical sense). Despite my meditational efforts, I often become jealous whenever friends or family brag about traveling there, participating in a cleansing yoga retreat, fun surf camp or re-enerizing spirit festival.
