Former Ireland international Méabh De Búrca has been touring the world since her retirement - but rarely goes anywhere without either watching or playing football.
Méabh De Búrca went on holiday to Vietnam last year and ended up training with the national league champions.
De Búrca has visited some of the most famous stadiums on the planet, making her the envy of sports fanatics. “It’s a good excuse to see a city. It helps structure my travels. I love to see the different cultures and I think you can learn a lot about a place from going to a match. It was around this time last year that she headed off to South East Asia on an adventure that included a month in Vietnam.
“It was cool, I didn’t know any of the language or anything, but I suppose football is kind of a universal language, you don’t really need too much. “They were really nice and friendly. It was nice to get a feel for the culture of the city as well and meet some of the locals, rather than just passing through as a regular tourist.”
