My expat journey





Saigon, Vietnam
I'm back in Vietnam after exactly a year in Australia! My partner and I missed the country and its lifestyle and culture so much we decided to return, also hoping to have our wedding here near the end of next year.
Freelance Journalist and Academic Language Teacher

Queensland, Australia
I moved to Brisbane with my Australian partner and enjoy the laid back Aussie lifestyle under the blue, blue skies of Queensland for a while. We're currently living in Fortitude Valley, the lifeline of the city's music scene and a stone's throw from Chinatown and the city centre.
I'm currently working as an ESL teacher but am looking to break into the media industry as a journalist.

Saigon, Vietnam
Came with a friend, found a couple of jobs, met my partner at one of them and quit the others. Started stravelling around South East Asia and will soon move to Brisbane, Australia.
Freelance Journalist and Academic English teacher.
The chaos of traffic, masses of people, the fantastic food, the random people I've met, the locality - it's so easy and cheap to travel from here.
Dirty old men who come here to pick up young Vietnamese girls. Some cultural aspects like the male chauvinism and "saving face". The pollution!

I'm planning on taking some VN courses, the language is really difficult as it's tonal and I'm quite tone deaf! I see you speak Spanish, French and English - how long did it take to learn the two additional languages? You're in Paris now, where are ... Read More

Hey I've just done that, thanks. I moved here about 6 months ago because my brother was working in Ho Chi Minh City and I'd just finished uni. Thought I'd come over here, pay off my humungous student loan and travel a bit! Just a pity there are so ... Read More
