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.
