My guest describes this destination as ,“it's probably my favorite spot in Vietnam, and maybe ever, just due to its complexity and beauty”. 

If I could call this show the “reality Check-in to Con Dao” I would. As while it features some of the best beaches in Vietnam, it is not quite the same as what you would expect to find in Danang, Phu Quoc or Nha Trang. Its attraction is in its isolation. Its natural unspoiled beauty. It's serenity.

In the show we take a deep dive into the Con Dao Islands with Conor Kelly. Conor shares with us a short break he took to the Islands and some of the things that took him by surprise. 

It’s great to welcome Conor back to the show. We have worked together before on his own Podcast called The Comeback, where I was the guest. He keeps himself very busy living in HCMC as he is also a teacher and journalist. It is testament to his journalistic skills that he is great at being descriptive, so you will get a really good feel for his travel experience. 

It’s fresh, honest and open without any hidden agenda or push one way or the other.

While Conor has high praise for the islands, as we explored the activities during his stay more deeply we discovered some of islands dark history and limitations. We unpacked the “how to get there” travel experience, and how much time you should allow for a stay.  

If you are the luxury traveller, this place has your name on it. As it features a stunning Six Senses resort. For those seeking a restful quiet chilled-out stay, Con Dao should be your first choice. Ranked No. 1 Best Resort In Southeast Asia. Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards 2021

No matter what your budget, if you are starting to investigate beach side holidays in Vietnam, Con Dao will come up, and it is the perfect “get away” from it all. So, bring a good book or a good podcast and enjoy.
