I’m visiting Hanoi (from France) with the idea of investing in Vietnam and building business in Asia more broadly. The goal is simply to meet and connect with friendly, dynamic people over a drink and have good conversations. It can be anywhere on friday 13th february 2026 — I’m open to your suggestions!

Hello alexandresimail,

Welcome to Expat.com 😀

You should definitely post an advert in the Vietnam classifieds for expats section, where you will find a dedicated category for friendship. Your advert will be featured in our newsletter, which will increase your chances of meeting new people during your stay in Vietnam.

Cheers,

Cheryl

@Julien

Good morning. I am a NSE with a degree, TEFL certification, and 25 years of experience in school, university and NGO management and teaching. I'm open to a PT or FT position at any creditable institution. I will probably be arriving towards the end of June 2026.

Hi, I am Ozcan, from Istanbul, tho been living in Poland for the last 10 years.
I currently live in Nha Trang for the last 1 year.

Seems like i will be staying long term so I was looking to see if there are any self sufficient/off grid communities I can be a part of?

Also as a tinfoil hat, I am open to all conspiracy theorists, but also biohackers who has taken hold of their health in their hands.

Other than that yoga and chess and active games like pickleball are my interests tho i couldnt find a place to play yet.

If that rhymes with you, give me a shout!
Cheers,
