New Vietnam travel guides are now live.

I just added 10 new city guides to help you plan smarter before you travel, scout, retire, or move to Vietnam.

New guides now available:

Can Tho
Hue
Quy Nhon
Hai Phong
Da Lat
Hoi An
Nha Trang
Phu Quoc
Sapa
Ninh Binh

These guides are built for people who want more than tourist tips. Each one covers where to stay, what to do, food, transportation, costs, safety, weather, common mistakes, and whether the city makes sense for a longer stay.

If you are planning a Vietnam trip or scouting cities before making a move, start here:

Vietnam is not one-size-fits-all. The right city depends on your budget, lifestyle, health needs, travel style, and what kind of daily life you actually want.

These guides will help you stop guessing.

Today’s live is about Da Lat. 10:30am Vietnam time.

Where Expats Should Live In Da Lat And Where To Avoid

Da Lat is one of the most beautiful cities in Vietnam, but living there full-time is different from visiting for a weekend.

Cool weather, cafes, hills, flowers, and slower living sound great.

But the wrong area can leave you too far out, too isolated, or stuck without the daily routine you actually need.

Today we’ll break down:

Ward 1
Xuan Huong Lake
Ward 3
Quieter local pockets
Areas that may be too far out
Where new expats should think twice before signing a lease

If you’re thinking about moving to Vietnam, retiring here, working remotely, or doing a scouting trip, this live will help you think clearly before choosing Da Lat.

New Black in Southeast Asia interview is up.

This time I sat down with Bradley, a Haitian student living in Vietnam.

We talked about Haiti, Russia, Vietnam, dating as a Black man, visas, student life, and what it feels like to build a life abroad when you come from a place most people do not expect to see represented in Southeast Asia.

This one is for Haitians, Black travelers, Black expats, students, and anyone thinking about life outside the usual path.

Where are my Haitians watching from?

This Saturday, we’re on Episode 3 of the city series.

**Where Expats Should Live In Da Nang And Where To Avoid**

Da Nang is one of the most talked-about cities in Vietnam for expats, retirees, remote workers, couples, families, teachers, and people looking for a slower lifestyle.

But Da Nang does not fit everybody.

Some expats move there and find peace.
Some expats move there and get bored fast.
Some choose the wrong area.
Some overpay near the beach.
Some think they want quiet until they realize they need more social life.

We’ll break down My An, An Thuong, Son Tra, Hai Chau, Ngu Hanh Son, and the local budget areas people should think twice about.

If you’re considering Da Nang, pull up live this Saturday.

New video is up.

I caught up with Romell 10 months after our first interview, and a lot has changed.

He quit teaching English, built his own marketing business, moved out of central HCMC, and now lives in a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo on the 30th floor in Vinhomes Grand Park for about 15 million VND per month.

This is what life in Vietnam can look like after the first move, when someone stops just surviving abroad and starts building something.

Watch here:

Could you see yourself building a business abroad?
