This resonates with me in many ways. Leaving a “good” life and career in the US for the unknown in Southeast Asia because however one defines “good”, it was lacking in many ways. Congratulations on your decade here!

Congratulations on 10 years in Vietnam, and also for all the happiness you've found there! It's a wonderful country and I can relate in many ways.

I really love and appreciate your writings. I live in Ho Chi Minh City and one day, I would love to sit down and chat with you. I'm still trying to figure things out and it's just great to hear how happy and settled you are.

Thank you so much! Not sure I'll ever be "happy and settled", but it's sure something to strive for. Send me a DM if you want to talk about a meet in Saigon.
