Living the LIFE in Da Nang, Vietnam (COST OF LIVING as Digital Nomads)

[@BackseatLiving]

Im 31 years old, and a life long born and raised Canadian. I came across you guys and 3 other channels with dedicated videos of living in Da Nang. I genuinley after watching this, have dedicated my next 5 months to saving, selling and moving there full time, well... 3 months at a time. I have never traveled much in my life, and this place looks simply incredible. E-Visa applied, Safety Wing subscription applied. I am doing this!

[@theswede5402]

Same here bro! Im a swede and im leaving too, i think i will commute between Vietnam, Thailand and Phillippines.

[@NicolasD414]

Good for you brother...just remember to respect Vietnam, people and their cultures. You'll have a great time.

[@noahcasa7917]

@@theswede5402put Malaysia on ur list. Great country, great people, and only country east Asia were u can actually own property as foreigner.

[@theswede5402]

@@noahcasa7917 Is it just as cheap as PH and Thailand?

[@noahcasa7917]

@ yes, cheapest countries would be Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar. And Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines are about the same, depends of course where you are, Phuket in Thailand and Bali Indonesia would be twice as expensive as an average other place because it’s very touristic.

[@danielh377]

Because of the great videos that other KZbinrs have made about Da Nang, I already planned to come. Watching your video just makes me want to go there even more. I should be there within two months. Keep up the good work.

[@EricandSarah]

That’s exciting! Hope you really enjoy it there ☺️

[@TroyLaddy]

Been watching a lot of videos of Vietnam in general. I’m a photographer and filmmaker looking to transition into a digital nomad lifestyle. I have military benefits that are almost enough to live comfortably in DaNang without worry, but having just a little extra would provide the same lifestyle I live here in San Diego, California. So I think the move might be happening sooner, rather than later. Loved you guys sharing all the info! Best wishes!

[@hahnmission8735]

there is a price range for everything but in general, I think it will be extremely cheaper then the US in many ways. Do research and stuff of course. If you want more like a vacay style of living then near the beach like Da Nang or Nha Trang. A pros for those 2 places is they have a large population of foreigners so I think it would be better to communicate and navigate then HCM like where I'm from.

[@THAILANDCANUCK]

I love Da Nang, it is such an easy place to live. I lived there for 3 months before COVID-19 hit and stranded me in Thailand while doing a visa run. Ate at Taco Ngon so many times!

[@cbatcba]

I'd love to move to Da Nang when retired 😊. You guys look happy and enjoy it there!

[@EricandSarah]

@@cbatcba we really enjoyed Da Nang! Would be a nice retirement place! 😊

[@nickymd]

We were so pleasantly surprised by Da Nang when we stayed there. It wasn’t part of our original itinerary but we stayed there for a night before a flight to HCMC and loved it! Make sure you check out the seafood restaurants where you can pick your own lobster 🦞. It’s pricey but so good!

[@EricandSarah]

@@nickymd we agree! It was kinda a last minute add-on to our plans but SO glad we didn’t skip it!

We are visiting for the first time. Would like to meet some locals or culture exchange. .where is the best place to go for a seafood dinner 🍽️

Spent 6 months in Danang, the haze is seasonal, it's not smog, it's fog haze. On another note, I have been a "Digital Nomad for 3 decades, long before the term was coined. I see your travelers insurance ends at a top age of 65. This is sad since a huge proportion of digital nomads are far older.

[@toddzickel2548]

I got the NordVPN for 2 years with your discount code which was very much worth it, so thank you! Just a little tip for Canadians though, when you get to the last step of the subscription, it will quote you the final price in CAD (actually confirms), but it is still charged in USD. Still worth it with the discount code though 😉

[@EricandSarah]

Thanks!! That’s great to know!

[@RyanRYousefi]

I live in Da Nang. $39 for that place is sort of a rip-off to be honest. For that you could live on the beach with free breakfast. And if you planned to stay for 3 months you could live in a whole house for half that price.

[@Tkewl1]

If you got a video on it post it. I'll definitely watch and many more.. 👍

Yes I am pricing out for my stay coming 2025. Definitely can get way better stays for that price

[@13shawnpaul]

Great video you guys! We're heading to Da Nang in a few weeks for maybe 3 months, so this was really helpful! We are both Canadians also so we had a couple quick of questions for you about scooter rentals if you have a moment :) I have a motorcycle license from canada and an Intl driving permit aswell, but Canadians still can't legally rent scooters in Vietnam because canada is on the list of countries that did not sign the 1968 Vienna Convention. So we were wondering did you guys transfer your license to a Vietnamese license for your trip, and how/where did you go to do it? And what are some reputable scooter rental companies with insurance coverage? Any info at all would be a big help, Thanks a million!

[@EricandSarah]

@@13shawnpaul hi! Sorry for the delay on your question! We actually weren’t aware of that issue with the Vienna Convention and just used our international driving permits in Vietnam. But we were never pulled over so can’t say what would’ve happened if we actually got questioned. Sorry to not be more help! In Da Nang, we rented from a company called “Thanh Cong Motorbike Rental”. They were excellent and have all 5 star reviews. We also made sure our travel medical insurance from SafetyWing (linked in description) covered scooter rentals for any accidents. Hope that helps a little bit!

[@MelBanks-dl1bf]

Hey did uou guys get any issues bringing your drone into Da Nang airport?

[@dalesmf4310]

I’m so confused. “”It’s a steal”” You’re paying over a $1000. A month… yet you can get a nice studio for around 7 to 9 mil dong a month. unless something drastically changed since I left there 3 months ago.

[@EricandSarah]

It’s a steal compared to anywhere else in the world. If we were there for multiple months it wouldn’t be sustainable, but for having what we had and being completely comfortable for that price is definitely a steal. Plus we were only there a week so not paying monthly prices!
