🎞 @bunkbedsandbackpacks 2018... the year to make shiz happen! I strongly believe that you are 100% in control of your own life. Life may happen to you in ways you weren’t expecting, but it is 100% your decision on the way you perceive and respond to what happens around you. I believe you have the ability to use your skills and resources to deal with any situation which may happen, and create your reality of the situation through your own perception of the situation. If you believe enough to make your dream a reality, backed up up by relevant actions, you will make a success of yourself. Bring on 2018! #2018 #2018goals #motivation #motivated #mindset #explore #thrive #thriveexperience #vietnam #fitnessmotivation #backworkout #backmuscles #fitfam #backpacking #purpose #tonyrobbins #grantcardone #brendanburchard #hoian #hoiantrip #southeastasia #vietnam

Along the riverbank in The Old Town, locals would sell lanterns to allow you to light a candle and let it float in down the river. 🏺Alternatively, you could hop onto a small river boat, travel down the canal & let your lantern go as you travelled. 🔮Admittedly the lanterns in this pic were slightly bigger as they were keep sakes, but you imagine how beautiful the river was whilst it was lit up! 🏮 🎞 @bunkbedsandbackpacks 🎞🌅 #hoian #hoianoldtown #vietnam #lantern #marketstall #starttheadventure @statravel #gadventures #backpackerlife #motiated #travelvlogger #southeastasia #travel #memories
