Hello Hello,My name is Matt. I've been perusing the expat.com Vietnam forum for a couple months now and have decided that I would join.
Hello Matt, and welcome to the expat.com Vietnam forum.
My life is a bit dull at the moment so I've had to think about what it is I truly want out of life. It appears that Vietnam is currently on my radar and hence I am researching as much info as I can on the beautiful country.
If there's one emotion you'll probably not experience in Vietnam, that would be boredom. 
It truly is like no other place you'll visit!
My number one priorities are to learn as much basic Vietnamese as I can, figure out how the visa application works, book a flight and visit the country for a month or two. Wish me luck! -@Mahja
Sounds like an excellent plan of attack! Have you decided which region of Vietnam will be your first base?
Coming to visit for a couple of months is a very good strategy. Currently the Vietnam eVisa allows for stays up to 90 days, which will allow you time to get your feet wet and get a feel for whether Vietnam will be a good fit for you.
I'll certainly wish you luck, but by the sounds of it you won't need it, resolute as you are.
Feel free to open a new topic of your own for discussion, or to jump in and contribute to any of our ongoing threads, here.
Once again, welcome to the forum. Good to have you with us, and hope to hear more from you soon!
