For us, arriving in Vietnam was like stepping foot in another world. It is the most alive place we have ever been.

The sidewalk cafes, bustling with laughter and conversation, the most intoxicating food smells and flavors, the honking horns, the friendly people, the smiling children wanting to connect with a stranger by saying “hello,” and the breathtaking natural landscapes, from the cool mountains in Da Lat to the beautiful ocean and beaches in Da Nang.

The quality of life here, especially when it comes to cost of living, is difficult to beat. Housing, transportation, healthcare and food are a fraction of the cost compared to the West and even some other parts of Asia.

We are often asked the same questions about Vietnam again and again. How do you get there? Where do you stay? Is it safe? Do I need a Visa? We’re always happy to answer these questions because we have been there, asking them, too.

We will do our best to answer those questions and more. Subscribe to Bud’s growing YouTube Channel, and become a paid subscriber on TikTok, where all members receive a one-on-one consultation with Bud. And as an added bonus, follow Bud on TikTok to become part of his engaged livestream community.
