I recommend visiting - Sapa & the Tonkinese Alps, Vietnam
Nestled in the heart of the Tonkinese Alps, Sapa is a place that never fails to stir my soul. The dramatic landscapes — terraced rice fields cascading down misty mountainsides, winding trails through lush valleys, and the ever-changing skies — create a dreamlike atmosphere that feels both grounding and otherworldly. My favourite retreat here is Topas Eco-Lodge, perched high above the Muong Hoa Valley. It’s a sanctuary of peace and sustainability, where the air is crisp, the views are endless, and the connection to nature is profound. Waking up to the sunrise over the peaks, with clouds drifting below, is a moment I always carry with me.
