Hey guys, I've been living in Ho Chi Minh City now for 3 months and loving it so far. I wondered if anyone could recommend some weekend trips or even day trips I could do by tour or by motorbike. Thanks!

Hey guys, I've lived in Vietnam for six years, in Hanoi & HCMC and I love the place. Glad there's a place for us to discuss living here.

From Thursday 24 September, I’m expanding my Substack into English + Vietnamese — and it remains completely FREE to read and subscribe. It will complement Vietnam Live Better for Less, rather than duplicate it. My daily short posts will be quick observations from life in a small Vietnamese fishing village — people, places, food, travel, writing, recovery, slower living and the little things that make Vietnam special. ☕🇻🇳 Then, once a week, I’ll publish a longer article exploring one of those themes in more depth — practical experiences, lessons learned, places discovered and a few stories from life here. SKOOL remains our community — the place for questions, discussion, recommendations and helping each other live better for less in Vietnam. Substack becomes the storytelling side of it — something you can read over a coffee, share with friends, and hopefully introduce more people to everyday Vietnam beyond the tourist trail. 🇬🇧 English + 🇻🇳 Tiếng Việt ☕ Daily short reads 📝 One weekly feature ❤️ Free to subscribe Bradley’s Substack: bdeacon.substack.com Same sky. Different view. A quieter, kinder life. 🇻🇳
