About @PTExpat
I’m John aka The Part-Time Expat — your guide to real-life expat living, travel discoveries, and hidden gems across Vietnam and Southeast Asia. In 2025, my wife and I took the leap, “burned the boats,” and moved sight unseen to Vietnam — and we haven’t looked back since.
Based in Da Nang, we share honest experiences about life in this vibrant beach city: exploring local markets, navigating visas, stretching your budget, and making smart money moves. My goal is to help you plan, adapt, and thrive as an expat through the power of International Arbitrage — earning in strong currencies like the USD while living comfortably and affordably in a weaker one like the VND.
Join me and discover how to live smarter abroad, one story at a time.
