About this listen
In this episode, I’m getting real about the challenges of staying sober while traveling through Vietnam. From the intense peer pressure of "Happy Water" rituals to feeling isolated in social moments, I share why I chose to deny instant gratification in favor of long-term pride and clarity. I’m diving into why experiencing a trip through "sober eyes" is actually better -allowing for deeper connections, more energy, and a journey you’ll actually remember.
