About

After traveling through S.E. Asia for 3 months/year from 2000, I met my future wife in 2003, at my hosts' home, in a very small village in the Ben Tré region. Two years later, in 2005, we got married before she returned to France with me. Our two children were born in 2006 and 2009, while my wife joined, as a seamstress, a large workshop in Cannes, in the Maritime Alps, where her recognized professional skills allowed her to evolve. However, no longer seeing a future in France for my wife and my two children, we emigrated to Vietnam in May 2012, a move that we did not regret, quite the contrary...!

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Married to a woman of Vietnamese origin, we emigrated to Vietnam in May 2012, with our two young children, before returning to France 3 years later for my wife's professional reasons.
A graduate in construction and TP (engineering level), I also worked in commerce, real estate and IT. I retired in 2011.
A simple but comfortable life, with friendly people, in a pleasant setting and neighborhood
The pollution in Ho Chi Minh, and the Vietnamese language that I have never mastered, forcing me to resort too often to my wife
