🌿 Welcome to Escape to Vietnam
Welcome to Vietnam Live Better for Less.You’re genuinely welcome here. This community exists to help people explore living part-time or full-time in Vietnam without the usual stress, confusion, or costly rookie mistakes. Whether you found us through a seminar, are planning your first long stay, or are simply curious about a different way of living, you don’t need to have everything figured out. This space is designed to help you do that calmly, gradually, and with clear, real-world information. 🌴 What You’ll Find Here You’ll find practical guidance across our classrooms, including: - Visas, rentals, budgeting, healthcare, banking, safety, and everyday life in Vietnam - Step-by-step explanations to help you settle in with confidence - Lifestyle foundations such as health, ageing well, slow money, social connection, and purpose abroad - Human-first tools, including AI for everyday life, to reduce stress and decision fatigue - A private, respectful community to learn from others on a similar path This isn’t about rushing or doing things perfectly. It’s about making informed choices and living well — for less. 📌 A Gentle First Step When you’re ready, feel free to introduce yourself. Share as much or as little as you like — where you’re from, what’s drawing you to Vietnam, or any questions you’re holding. There’s no pressure to post straight away. Quietly observing is always welcome. We’re glad you’re here. Take your time — we’ll build this together. — Bradley, Peter, and our resident nomad Daktari Knight 🇦🇺🌏🇻🇳 Chào mừng bạn đến với Vietnam Live Better for Less.Bạn thật sự được chào đón ở đây.

Why This Community Is Growing Slowly — and Intentionally
Just a gentle note to the community. If you see new modules appearing quietly in the classrooms, it’s because I’m building this space steadily and intentionally — at a pace that supports clarity, focus, and balance. Working on this Skool community and writing my books has been a big part of what’s helped me stay grounded and gradually reconnect with my thinking, creativity, and sense of direction after a very challenging period. It’s reminded me how powerful it is to keep the brain active, curious, and engaged — especially when you’re rebuilding momentum. That’s very much the spirit behind the new modules, particularly for those considering retirement in Vietnam. They’re designed to introduce AI and practical concepts you can explore at your own pace — not as pressure, but as possibility. Even small skills or ideas can open doors to light digital income, creative projects, or simply sharper thinking. And when you’re retired, every bit of confidence and clarity counts. Vietnam makes this easier than anywhere I’ve known. The calm. The rhythm. The cafés full of quiet energy and inspiration. Often all you need is a laptop, a coffee, and the willingness to keep learning — motivation tends to follow. So keep checking back when it suits you. This space is growing slowly, thoughtfully, and from lived experience — and I’m glad you’re here.

New Classrooms + What’s Coming Next
Hi everyone 👋 I’ve been quietly updating and adding more classrooms to Vietnam Live Better for Less because I want this community to offer real value, not noise. The classroom I’m especially excited about building out over the next day or two is AI for Everyday Life — practical, human-first ways to use AI to make daily life easier. I’ve shared a small cheat sheet as a taste of what’s coming. I’ll be more active here again now — I’m just coming out of a very stressful visa run (which is exactly why this community exists). Vietnam Live Better for Less is about saving money, yes, but just as importantly, avoiding the rookie mistakes I’ve already made so you don’t have to. Keep checking back in. More quality classrooms are coming. 🌿 Vietnam Live Better for Less AI for Everyday Life – Quick Prompt Cheat Sheet Use AI like a calm personal assistant. Speak clearly, simply, and with context.

🌿 New Classroom Released: Finding Calm in Vietnam
I wanted to share something personal and important with you. I’ve just released a new classroom inside Vietnam Live Better For Less called Finding Calm in Vietnam. It’s a gentle, three-part classroom designed for people living with long-term stress, nervous system overload, or PTSD — especially those coming from large, high-intensity cities and wondering whether a quieter environment might make a difference. The classroom isn’t about fixing anything or pushing big life decisions. It explores how environment quietly affects well being, what everyday life in places like Da Nang actually feels like, and how to engage with busier cities like Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi on your own terms — without overwhelm. Everything is paced slowly, with optional reflection and no pressure to share. Because you are foundation members of Vietnam Live Better For Less, you’ll have free access for life to this classroom. Going forward, new members will see it offered as a once-off access option ($29.95), but existing members will always remain grandfathered in. I wanted to make sure this stayed aligned with the spirit of this community — trust first, value first, no rush. As always, explore it only if and when it feels right for you. Feedback is welcome, and quiet participation is completely okay too.

Human-First AI for Writers — A New Classroom Inside Vietnam Live Better for Less
One of the reasons I built Vietnam Live Better for Less wasn’t just about cost of living — it was about building sustainable, calm ways to live and earn while here. Many people joining this community are digital nomads, semi-retirees, or career-changers who want to upskill, stay relevant, or create income streams without stress or hype. AI keeps coming up in those conversations — often with curiosity, but just as often with uncertainty or overwhelm. That’s why I’ve opened a new classroom inside the community calledHuman-First AI Prompting for Writers. It’s designed for people who want to use AI in a practical, grounded way — for writing, communication, projects, and everyday work — without losing their voice, confidence, or sense of control. Because you’re already part of Vietnam Live Better for Less: - 🔓 The classroom will unlock for you at Level 3 - 🎁 All current members will have free access for life - 💳 Later in the year, it may be offered to new members as a one-time paid option, but existing members will always be grandfathered in This isn’t about becoming “an AI expert.” It’s about using modern tools calmly and ethically to support the kind of lifestyle many of us are building here — flexible, sustainable, and human-first. If you know friends, colleagues, or fellow nomads who are thinking about Vietnam, remote work, or adapting their skills for this next chapter, I’d really appreciate you sharing this with them. The more thoughtful people we have in here, the stronger the community becomes. As always, explore it at your own pace — and feedback is welcome. 🙏
