Hear how Danang offers up a new kind of experience for my guest today, Jonathan Kiely.

A fun Irish lad who left Ireland in search of adventure and who found himself drawn to the beachside city of Danang where he has decided, he might just settle for a bit, as he rates it as one of the best  “Chilled out” cities he has ever visited.

Jonathan left his high pressure job in Ireland to go traveling. He landed in Vietnam and despite the Covid Pandemic he opted to stay on and live the life of  “Riley” so to speak as an Expat.

A year and a half on, Jonathan gives us his version of Vietnam and his experience of Danang and the local community which he has found an affinity with through various health and well being programs.

He raves about the people and the environment in which you can explore your own creativity. Plus, you can SURF.

  • It is a 1-hour flight from either Hanoi or HCMC.
  • The city links you to Hoi An which is only a 25-minute drive to the famous Old Town from the airport.
