Either HCMC or Hanoi. Have the 2 options, will visit both before settling.

Doing grad school online. Found an alternative program that is not perfect but its online. Education being online is at least one good aspect of modern life.

Are you doing that part-time while teaching English in Vietnam?
If not, what are you doing or will be doing in Vietnam for income?

Nope, remote. Not the best paid job, but money'll go far in low cost areas.
Gonna spend 1 month in Vietnam then hit Cambodia next.

I feel like I'm waking up from a nightmare. I need travel like a horse needs hay. Its been a tough couple of years...
I'm gonna take a break from the forum while I set up my life, but for anyone that reads this post:
Don't go back. Once you figure out you like expat life, don't go back. Trust me, a simple life is best.
