Our Adventures With Two Toddlers in Vietnam

About the Book

In 2019, we set off on a bold family adventure to Vietnam, with a one-year-old and a three-year-old in tow. But we didn’t take it easy. From airplanes and night buses to trains and private cars, we travelled the length of the country, from the Mekong Delta all the way to the Chinese border.

About the Author

Sandor Dargo
Sandor Dargo

I am a C++ software craftsman with strong Python working in the tourism and hospitality industry and an enthusiastic blogger writing about coding, books, and the importance of stoic philosophy in a software developer's life.

I moved to software development from database operations which means that I don't just care about delivering a product as fast as possible, but I do understand the importance of stability and maintainability.

I'm passionate about delivering clean solutions, but I find even more important to help my teams to constantly raise the bar and to (re)focus on quality and clean code. I do this by explaining how high-quality work will help them in their individual careers, by introducing more meaningful development processes and automation and by teaching them industry best practices.
