FBC Member Jodi at legalnomads.com has started a new project for food and art lovers: a t-shirt with a one-of-a-kind hand-drawn map of the many incredible meals to be found in Vietnam. From tiny street stalls to bustling markets, these dishes and drinks are part of what makes exploring Vietnam so exciting.
