I didn’t exactly choose Vietnam, it kind of chose me. I was driven by a restless urge to leave, a need for change. A coliving spot available in Hoi An ? Perfect ! Let’s go then.I landed with zero expectations and no real plan… and I instantly fell in love. Stunning landscapes, a vibrant culture, incredible food, and a sense of ease I never saw coming. Hoi An wrapped me up like a warm cocoon. Then came the rice paddies of Mai Chau, the chaos and charm of Hanoi, the emerald waters of Halong Bay, the beaches of Phu Quoc… and a thousand little moments in between.
I spent nearly four months exploring this fascinating country.
Vietnam was the beginning of my nomad life and it will always hold a special place in my heart.
