I didn’t move here, I bounce around Asia while working remotely, though I usually spend a little over half the year here.
The food, prices, and people/culture make up for the language being literally impossible for me and the weather being pretty tough outside the highlands and some mountains north of Hanoi. Some rain gear and I can deal with 4+ hour motorcycle trips in pouring rain, but there’s nothing I can do about walking outside and instantly sweating through my shirt.
What made you move to Vietnam? (I assume you aren’t Vietnamese)

Interesting. What made you start a nomadic lifestyle like this? Do you do it alone? Do you think you’ll ever settle down?
Living in America was killing me.
Maybe I’ll settle down some day. The longer I stay in software engineering the more I long to leave it and become a mushroom farmer in northern Japan.
