14+ journey-worthy photos of daily life in Vietnam
Vietnam, less than forty years after the cruelty and bloodshed of war, is brimming with optimism. Todd Weselake, a travel photographer, focuses on what life is like now in this resilient country—a region of magnificent natural beauty with a distinct heritage—in a series of pictures.
Vietnam welcomed me in with a blur of beautiful smiles, exotic flavours, and intense scooter rides.

I was enticed by some of the freshest, tastiest, and most unique ingredients I’ve ever experienced. The 10 days I spent there were packed with authentic adventures and experiences of an enchanting and colourful culture.
