Shortly after her return from her vacation in the Greek islands and Croatia, Joanna Paliospirou packed her bags for a different destination.
The acid burn survivor is now in Vietnam, where she posts many photos of herself on social media.
Via Instagram, Paliospirou shared with her 240,000 followers photos of the sights she saw and the restaurants she ate at. She recorded a local man trying to cross a road with passing cars in one of her stories.
In this particular story, Paliospirou wrote to her followers: "This is the only way you cross the road in Vietnam, warning the cars, otherwise they will run over you."

Efi Kakarantzoula was sentenced to 15 years in prison in October 2021 for the attempted murder of Joanna Paliospirou with acid in the Athens suburb of Kallithea in May 2020.
At the time, prosecutor Charalambos Mastrantonakis said the attacker executed her criminal plan “in a calculated manner. She had vile motives, murderous egoism and moral pettiness.”
He stressed that the type of acid that Kakarantzoula used and the way she executed her crime “leaves no doubt about her murderous intent.”
“The defendant did not want to ruin the face of Joanna [the victim], she ruined her life,” Mastrantonakis continued. “When she threw the acid in her face, she accepted that it could be inhaled, swallowed, find its way to her trachea, and kill her. It was revenge that accepted the risk of death.”
Kakarantzoula claimed during the trial that she had no intent of killing Paliospirou, explaining that stalked Paliospirou after suspecting her of dating a man with whom she had embarked on a sexual relationship in 2018.
She admitted to going to significant lengths to procure vitriol to the survivor’s place of work in an office building, saying she paid a man she met outside a shop in downtown Athens to get it for her.
