Fishermen of Halong Bay Vietnam
Vagabond Journey Travel Vagabond Journey Photographs
The following photographs are of the people who fish and live in Halong Bay
of Vietnam. I
took these photos in the summer of 2007 while I was traveling through Southeast
Asia. These people lived on floating houses right on the water and commute,
fish, and get supplies completely by boat. They live their lives 100% on the
water.

Sunset over the spires of Halong Bay, Vietnam. This is a truly beautiful place, it is easy to get to, and the price for a multi day boat tour in the off season can also nearly meet a vagabond's budget.

The boats that the Vietnamese sail in Halong Bay. It looks like these boats are made from woven bamboo. I cannot tell you how they stay afloat.
