The Road to Saigon: A Family Journey through Singapore, Kuala Lumpur & Vietnam
Travel isn’t about ticking boxes — it’s about the moments that stay long after the suitcase is unpacked.
The Road to Saigon follows one family’s journey across Southeast Asia, moving through the colour and heat of Singapore, the rhythm and flavours of Kuala Lumpur, and the vibrant energy of Vietnam. It’s a story shaped not by perfect plans, but by quiet surprises: laughter drifting across a food stall, a sunrise caught from a hotel balcony, the warmth of strangers, and the stillness that appears in the middle of busy cities.
Told through words and photographs, this memoir blends everyday discoveries with the deeper reflections that come from travelling far from home. There are lessons learned the hard way, joyful detours, moments of overwhelm, and moments of magic — all part of seeing the world as a family and finding connection in unfamiliar places.
Whether you’re planning your own journey to Southeast Asia or simply love stories that celebrate culture, food, landscapes, and human kindness, this book offers a gentle, uplifting window into three remarkable destinations.
