Pick by what you want
🇭🇷 Choose Croatia if
you want the clearest water in Europe, walled old towns and national parks, in a country you can drive down in a day.
🇻🇳 Choose Vietnam if
you want the best street food in Asia on the smallest budget, and you do not mind a long thin country that takes time to cross.
