Looking for potential Vietnam holiday destinations for my escape next year, where I catch up with my Hanoi native friend, he brought up the idea of traveling to a Vietnamese island I’ve never heard of before. Con Dao. Typically I am well-versed in my geography of Vietnam, especially islands, due to my heritage and my affinity for warm coastlines but this one escaped my radar. Discovering this island put me on a A prison island, much like my homeland of Australia.
