Lucas Oakeley, Journalist and Author
Vietnam is a country I’ve wanted to visit for years, and 2025 will be yet another year where I’ve got my heart set on exploring it. Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Hue are all cities I’d love to dive into. Do I want to eat at Bún Chả Hương Liên because that’s where Anthony Bourdain and Barack Obama had a meal? Yes. But I’ve also heard the bún chả there is still some of the best you’ll find in Hanoi, and if that makes me a bad traveller, then sue me. Lucas’ debut novel, Nearly Departed, is out in 2025.
