📍 Days 1–10 | HANOI - Live Like a Local in Hanoi

Hanoi is where your Living in Vietnam journey begins. During these first ten days, you'll gradually become familiar with your new surroundings, experience daily life in Vietnam's capital and establish a comfortable routine before continuing to the next destination.

🗓️ Days 1–3: Local Orientation Experience

During your first three days, a Local Host will help you become familiar with Hanoi and provide practical information for everyday living. Rather than following a sightseeing itinerary, you'll discover how the city works from a local perspective.

You'll also receive recommendations for fitness centers, wellness services, coworking spaces and community activities that match your interests and lifestyle.

By the end of the orientation, you'll feel comfortable navigating the city independently and begin enjoying Hanoi as your temporary home.

🗓️ Days 4–10: Live Local

Once you've settled in, your schedule becomes flexible. Spend your mornings at a neighborhood café, work remotely, visit local markets, explore cultural spaces or simply enjoy everyday moments at your own pace.

Rather than rushing from one attraction to another, you'll have time to slow down, discover different neighborhoods and experience Hanoi through everyday moments. Browse a local market, enjoy a leisurely coffee, take an evening walk around the lake or explore the city one street at a time.

Living in Hanoi is about discovering the small details that make the city unique—finding your favorite coffee shop, becoming a regular at a local restaurant, greeting familiar faces and gradually feeling part of the neighborhood around you.

🧘 Healthcare & Well-being

Living abroad also means maintaining healthy routines. Throughout your stay, you may incorporate fitness, wellness and healthcare services into your daily schedule according to your own preferences.
