      After months on tour, singer-songwriter Amber Mark traveled to Vietnam to reset. She came back full of creative energy.

      As a Chase Travel Global Tastemaker, Mark traveled through Hanoi and Ninh Bình with The Cut for the latest episode of The Art of Travel series, which follows top artists, designers and musicians around the world for a behind-the-scenes look at how the places you go and the memories you collect fuel the creative process.

       

       

      In Hanoi, Mark sampled the street food, ate pho with award-winning chef Quang Dũng and settled in for a set in the city’s jazz scene. Then she headed to Ninh Bình for a few quiet, reflective days, drifting by boat along a river and through limestone caves.

      “I spend a lot of time on the road, but there’s a big difference between just going somewhere and really experiencing it,” Mark said. “This trip has given me exactly what I didn’t know I needed, and plenty to take home with me.”
