OK!: What's the best place you've visited this year? Where did you stay? Where did you eat? Where did you shop?

CF: I’d say Vietnam. My boyfriend is half Vietnamese, and I really had fun and got to relax in this amazing country. It was such a great experience. I traveled to a few cities—Nam Hai is such a nice place to stay. The food is great too, and I had amazing Vietnamese food in very small and unique spots. I didn’t think about shopping that much while I was there. I bought a very special ring there for a few bucks, and I wear very often.
