What does it really cost to live well in Da Nang, Vietnam?
International Living contributor Norm has been a full-time nomad since 2019, traveling through 45 countries along the way. Now, at 72, he’s living in one of his favorite places in the world—and spending about $2,261 a month on his lifestyle.
In this video, Norm takes you along for a day in Da Nang, from an early-morning sunrise on the beach and a walk through the city’s expat-friendly streets to breakfast and a ride along Vietnam’s beautiful coastline. He also opens up his real monthly budget, including $520 rent, utilities, food, transportation, entertainment, massages, and more.
His total? About $2,261 a month—less than the $2,300 he was paying for rent alone when he lived in California.
But for Norm, Vietnam isn’t only about affordability. It’s the warm weather, food, beaches, laid-back lifestyle, and quality of life that keep bringing him back.
