Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a foreign country? Especially a country as beautiful as Vietnam. 
Have you ever visited a place, and thought,  I wish we could go back and live there.
With everything going on in the world over the past couple of years, I think many of us are asking ourselves big life questions, like  - "Is this as good as it gets?", "Retirement doesn't look that much fun at home, but it may look a lot more exciting somewhere - like Vietnam?

Maybe you just want to mix things up and live in a place part of the year, and come back home for the other part. A lot of people do that in Vietnam.

Meg Le, her last name in Vietnamese is pronounced "Lay" as she is married to a Vietnamese, is my guest in this "insider tips" episode. Meg shares with us what it's like to be 40 something and give up a corporate lifestyle in Seattle to go travelling the world. She details for us the journey she and her husband took in 2 years of traveling, and how a series of events led them to move to Hoi An, Vietnam.

Meg and I take a deep dive into what the process is of setting yourself up as a resident, and what the pros and cons are of going from a tourist to becoming a resident. Including some fun stories along the way.  
If you have ever considered this as an option and are looking for some real honest-to-goodness advice this is definitely the episode for you.

A little bit about Meg.  
Meg Le has been in a corporate working environment for most of her adult life working as a business consultant and FTE consultant for some big-names, like - WHO in Geneva on a vaccine database, in Myanmar with the Department of Health, Global Good with Bill Gates, and Starbucks to name a few.
She definitely has a wellness bent, as she did teacher training in Yoga in India and now prefers to coach in Pilates and yoga coach (Flow with Meg).
Having really settled now into Hoi An after nearly 18 months, during the middle of Covid, Meg is ready for her next entrepreneurial adventure and will soon join a VC start-up accelerator program, where she will explore ways to leverage her technology, business, and wellness coaching background to build a new business. She is going to be a busy girl in the days to come as she continues to support her husband’s restaurant (Veranda Food and Drink in An Bang). This is where the humble bagel will lead them.

What about Vietnam - Traveller Insights

Welcome to What About Vietnam - A Travel Podcast with Kerry Newsome. If you have ever thought about Vietnam as a holiday destination, but unsure, well, this may be just the eye-opener you need to help you decide you must go. A cross between "Trip advisor and a blog" minus the 300+ pages of reading, this podcast aims to give you insights into Vietnam from years of traveling to and from, and as a travel manager. My objective is to give you the information the guide books don't,.... in an easy to listen to, relatable format. Across this series, I will be your guide to "When and How" to travel throughout Vietnam. I will provide you with comprehensive information designed to make your trip fun, safe, and full of great adventures. You will hear from guest travellers about their experiences and the places they have visited. I interview locals, expats, travel experts and tour operators across the board. You never know who you are going to meet on the show, and that's what makes it interesting and entertaining.
