Time to go back
For some time now I was getting emails and text messages on my phone to register for covid vaccination. The problem with this is that I would need to be in my home country in the first place. That made us think. Is it possible for us to get a vaccine in Vietnam? It would make so many things easier…

Wild life and relax
When we realised that covid is not going anywhere anytime soon we decided to go back to Da Nang. Ho Chi Minh is a big town, with a lot of traffic and what comes with it - noise. Our apartment in Saigon was big and nice but a big downside of living in the town centre is that most of…

Spending summary for 2020
It wasn't the best year for digital nomads nor tourists. However, we still managed to move around a little bit and as always I tried to keep an eye on our expenses. Due to the covid outbreak and lockdowns, we were forced to stay in one country for a very long time. At least much longer than we expected.

Change of scenery
At the end of the year covid situation in Vietnam looked like it has never happened, Europe started rolling out the vaccination campaigns so we thought it's about time to start planning our next trip.

Typhoon and storm season
Vietnam due to its' location faces tropical storms and typhoons every year. For us, it's a completely new experience so we didn't know what to expect. For some time now temperatures were much lower and it rained a bit nearly every day. It was like a prelude to what was coming. The first time we saw tropical storm warning in…

Staying put until further notice

Streets were full of people and food stalls. Every weekend we've seen full busses of local tourists dropped to hotels around our building. Life went on…

Little Hoi An hotel
When we came to Vietnam we wanted to stay here longer. We wanted to see a bit more of Vietnam, travel around. Then Coronavirus came, quarantine etc and all plans had to be scrapped. Yes, quarantine finished some time ago and we could have come back to our previous plans, but now it didn't feel the same because this time…

Sand everywhere – a house near the beach
The quarantine in Vietnam was at this point at full blast. Empty streets, nearly everything closed apart of a very few grocery shops, no cars or bikes on streets. This was the moment we wanted to move to our new bigger apartment… That was the problem. We were pretty sure that two white people with a huge suitcase and backpacks…

Golden Bridge Da Nang
Ever since we saw pictures of a bridge set on huge hands we wanted to see it. The bridge is a part of a huge complex on top of the mountains. To get there you take a long 20 minutes cable car trip over the forest and mountains. It holds the world record for the longest non-stop single-track cable car…
