Welcome to my raw and uncut travel vlog of Da Nang, Vietnam! Join me as I take you on a whirlwind tour of this vibrant city that's been my home for the past 6 months.
We kick things off with a mouthwatering journey into the heart of Vietnamese cuisine with the world's best sandwich, Bánh Mì. From there, I'll show you around my neighbourhood, giving you a glimpse of daily life and the charming corners that make this place special.
Curious about living costs? I'll give you an exclusive peek inside my 230 USD apartment, followed by a scenic drive around the city to soak in the sights and sounds of Da Nang.
For those who love shopping, we delve into the excitement of the fake market scene, where bargaining skills are a must! And of course, no visit to Da Nang is complete without trying my favourite local dish, Nem Nướng, and sipping on Vietnamese coffee at a cozy café.
Need a check-up? I'll introduce you to a local dentist, and we'll explore the bustling atmosphere of a wet market together. Craving something sweet? We'll stop by an Italian-style bakery that's simply amazing.
Ever wondered where I work? I'll show you my co-working space, and if you're up for some relaxation, join me for a 12 USD massage and spa session that's pure bliss.
Finally, we'll wind down at the city beach, where you can see why Da Nang's coastline is such a treasure.

Cambodia & Laos are way cheaper bro !!!!
@@Traveldosanddonts not true "bro" Vietnam is super cheap and for good reason
I'm Japanese, and Vietnam was the best country I've ever visited. The delicious food, beautiful nature, and kind people make it a paradise on earth. Watching your video made me miss the beautiful days I spent in Vietnam 🥰
Thank you Naruto❤❤❤💞💞
The worst for me, dirty and noisy
I felt the same. It has its pros and cons but the pros far out weigh. The people are fabulous. The food great. The generosity and chill personality was awesome. The best place to visit
@@design6282 food is great???? What?
What a joke....
Welcome to Vietnam 🇻🇳. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. Thank you for re-visiting my beautiful country.
Enjoy and stay safe.
Stay safe? Grow up
Great video Oli! Some awesome examples of how cheap (and good) life here in Da Nang is. It's been 5 months and I still haven't managed to leave! Enjoying the long form content.
Cheers Martin
Like a great man Robin Williams used to say! "Good morning Vietnam" Sorry I couldn't resist it 🤣😂✌️♥️🇺🇲
@@MrRizzo1961 original! And like he said it's still a shit hole
That guy in the market who sold you the backpack has amazing English. The sounds of Vietnamese are so different, so for someone to get that good without a teacher shows incredible motivation and persistence. He must have started young.
Dude, you already won my heart within the first minute of this video stating that vn has the greatest sammich in the world.
I am Vietnamese who is now traveling in the UK for summer holiday. It is really nice to know you enjoy my country’s food as much as I enjoy your country’s food.
Well, nobody likes food in UK. xD
Good content, that kid sold me the exact same bag for 170K 3 months ago, I use it daily as my gym bag, washed multiple times, it's still perfectly fine!
Wow, what are the chances?! That’s great it’s also been very useful up to now on my travels.
Which market is that?
The fan running in the living space is probably pushing the cold air back into the bedroom. If you shut that off and put a portable fan in the bedroom directing the air towards the door it might work better.
2019 and 2024 the noticable difference about you is that you look more handsome and the knowledge you have gained. Love you man
Appreciate that!
bro stop asking everyone if their clothes are good quality, they will not understand what you are saying and if they did they will always say Yes, why wouldnt they?
Great job showing us around and I hope to visit there one day soon. Possibly this summer!
@@brunorobert6645 he's selling for commissions, it's an awful place and never stops raining
There are a lot of beautiful sightseeing for you discover and enjoy in Da Nang. Thanks for your interested in Da Nang and hoping you come back here!
7:22 I really like this area, very peaceful and close to the beach!
Great video Oli! This pork belly banh mi is my favorite! 😍
Try out some Bún đậu mắm tôm❤️
Best
I’ll keep an eye out for it!
Oh NO!😅
The flow on effect of RUclipsrs going around and saying 'how cheap everything is' is that prices rise. Appreciate your time and insights though.
Yep. But they won’t rise right away.
Vietnam is not that cheap although cheaper. The only great thing about that country are s the fruits and the food. It is dirty rotten hell hole with a rotten government, just my two cents.
@@Danishmastery irrelevant
@@richardontube it's cheap for good reason, it's a shit hole
Great stuff
Welcom to Vietnam 🇻🇳.

@@nguyenhuyhoang1010 most places you mentioned are rat infested shit holes
nice and chilling to watch
I've lived here 20 years. Enjoy your stay.
Get a floor fan and put it in the doorway pointed at the main room. It should move the air from the bedroom to the main room.
Great job introducing Da Nang
Thanks!
Haha nice, man! I like your kinda dry monologuing ^^ Also, I’ll be visiting Danang for the first time in two months, and your video is a tremendous help 👍👍
6:55 When passing the 4-way intersection, please drive slowly.thanks
Hey Oli looks like you live pretty close to me. ĐN has always been fantastic, thanks for the great video! My recommendation for a great ĐN-ish traditional food is Banh Canh Ruong @20 Hà Thị Thân.
I just found your channel, I am an Aussie, but living in the Philippines. I have lived here 12 years and it’s very similar to where you live.
The market are the same and I’m like you it’s different when you live here you will pay a little bit more because you’re a foreigner and we all expect this but like you say when they want too much, that’s what we don’t like
You should add google map links to these places you are going. The avocado ice cream at Bac My An market is good. Not too sweet.
I actually like the dentist lol
Can’t trust a man who enjoys the dentist 🫨😂
Have you tried a fan to blow out ac from br to living room ? And that ceiling fan..make it spin up not down.. makes a huge difference.. sucks warm air up from living area
Get a fan to flow some of that Air con air into the living room area 👍
Enjoyed your video. Where did you buy a boomerang at the end of video?
It was a regular frisbee that we brought with us to the beach. A windy day made it look like a boomerang 🪃
hãy dùng một chiếc điều hoà cây cho phòng khách, khi rời khỏi vietnam bạn hãy thanh lý chúng, và có thể thanh lý luôn cho chủ căn nhà bạn đang thuê đó.
nice video. i like this dentist Dr Khoa
I think I witnessed true happiness. I’m on my way.
Can you show us a tour of how the passenger trains are like in Vietnam, and what the different classes in a Vietnamese train are like? Like maybe you could do a trip on a Vietnamese train from Da Nang to Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi in the business class and then do regular chair class on the way back
That’s a good idea! I’ll try to do that in the remaining month I’ll be there 🙂
@@nishantoz I'll do they for him, they are noisy, slow and uncomfortable just like the rest of Vietnam, avoid and fly if you must visit that hole of a country
Hey brother... try placing a fan in the threshold of your bedroom door pointing into your living room. Cold air sinks,,,so the fllor fan will push the cold air into your living room.
I enjoyed your video.
Safe travels!!!
I tried this already, it didn’t help a great deal unfortunately. Thanks for the advice though!
All these places will never be the same thanks to YT.
Would you rather keep it gated to the wider community at the economic expense of the locals?
@@OliBarrettTravel Everywhere you go now, this younger generation has their face glued to their phones. It's sad that you can't imagine a life without them. Soon they will be implanted in your brain if people like Elon Musk has anything to do with it. Then, they will have total control over you, but you young ones can't see it.
True, danang was ok 10 years ago, now it's awful and has become vietscam
@@OliBarrettTravelyes, prices have shot up for them and tourism is a tiny part of Vietnam economy
@@OliBarrettTravel yes absolutely, it's already killed it since 2015
Love your video man! I feel like I’ve met you before. I’m inspired to begin the same style of content!
Where in China were you? I lived in Beijing, Shen zhen and Fo Shan
Love to hear that man, fire up that camera! 📸
Possibly! I lived in Shenzhen for 3 years also, I used to make content there with my Dad on the channel ‘Barrett’
We need some new Da Nang content and updates man!
World cheapest country meets world cheapest Oli 😅…. Left on a 15’ boat in 1980 and haven’t been back. I need to go next year. Luv ❤my Da Nang.
Best youtuber on Vietnam,new subscriber here.I have been to Da Nang for a week a few years ago,hope to come back someday.Hope to meet you someday.Vietnam is better than Thailand,because it is cheaper and than any countries out there.
@@marijusofficial appreciate that! Da Nang is awesome
@@marijusofficial not in the same league as Thailand and cheap for good reason, shit hole
@@marijusofficial or unrealistic as most RUclipsrs hate danang
@@OliBarrettTravel you need to travel more I think,
Everything will over after 5th,Sept. Then,beginning of storms & rainy season till Dec ...Sunny will come back Da Nang in early April😂 Good luck .
Oh dear. Maybe it’s time to leave at that point!
Great video! Would love to see more da nang videos especially for digital nomads!
@@BeatX3D it's a horrible boring place with horrendous weather
@@kippsguitar6539 haha damn I’m glad you won’t be there when I arrive
@@BeatX3D yes you will be glad when you leave as well,. listen to fantasy reviews by RUclipsrs selling products if you want , enjoy
@@kippsguitar6539 I watched so many great videos about da nang from all different kind of people / vloggers they won’t be all lying for no reason. I guess it’s your ur personal opinion/ matter of taste and that’s totally fine
@@BeatX3D based on experience, the climate is really harsh though and that's a scientific fact.you can easily research, it has the longest wet season in Vietnam and when it's not raining it's unbelievably hot and humid, spent decades in Asia and the vast majority of my Vietnamese friends agree bit good luck, next door hoi an is an absolutely beautiful place bit sadly now overrun with RUclipsrs and tourists, enjoy
Da nang is great. I love your vids, but it is not very nice to tell the vendors that their stuff is no quality. Just say no and Thank you. And honestly should youtubers get a special rate? Not so much, huh?
Enjoyed the vid, very informative for peeps first time visit 👌 Dissapointed your DIRECTO only available on laptop, not hand held devices 😢
Yes, I ought to have mentioned that during the video. Hopefully they will optimise it for mobile devices at some point!
Nice neighborhood
Nice content what kind of license is required for moped over there ?
Where did you find the rental, facebook? :) I've seen similar prices, they all look great.
Oh and i forgot, if you're in Hoi An and want a really nice cowork, try "Hub Hoi An", its sick, looks over the rice fields with hammocks etc.
Floor fan to push cold air through the bedroom door.
I already tried that, it seemed to make a slight different but not much 🥵
@@OliBarrettTravel actually a portable air conditioner unit should sort you out on the warmest days. Exhaust out to balcony. Cheers!
Hello from Philippines but Vietnam is so beautiful
They are preparing a plan to sell the apartment to foreigners. I hope to soon let foreigners who love life or retire in Vietnam come to buy and live here. ❤🇻🇳👍
@@-UnknownX- that's a terrible idea, Vietnam is socialist with capital controls, you wouldn't be able to get your money out, did he tell you that?
with god's blessing I will live there for at least 3 months.
@@charlesetienne6037 don't bother it's a shit hole and never stops raining
I need to go and find that dentist!
Thank you, i think it is a honnest intake off your live.
Thanks for watching :)
How have you managed 6 months if eVisa are 3 months? Do you just leave country and return on renewed eVisa?
Yeah, that's right
GOD BLESS YOU
Rất quý mến bạn vì yêu đất nước chúng tôi
Box fan between bedroom and lving space?
How can u stay longer then 3months?
Great show. Are your prices usd or aud?
Thanks man. They’re in USD
How is the weather? The humidity? Is it true there is alot of mosquitos?
It’s very hot and humid currently, during the summer months. Yes, there are mosquitoes.
What a super funny channel ,so when you come to visit China and welcome 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Want kind of visa do you have for stayed in Vietnam for 6 months?
I had to leave the country and return as the maximum length of a tourist visa is three months.
I used to live in davao😊(Philippines) and i dont know why people says the driving in Vietnam is the worse as its a joke... In the Philippines u cant go for a joy ride anymore as the drivers are so aggressive, inpatient,crazy and wreckless... Here is more quite
I can totally relate to the market comment! 😅😉
❤❤❤
Whats the name of that park with pickleball
This is the spot 👍

Be carful your driving ! That look scary
Hey! I have a question. I'm thinking about traveling to Vietnam as an first time digital nomad :D Could you tell me about the culture in Vietnam and if it's easy to meet up with people? Maybe other nomads, expats, or Vietnamese people can speak English? It will be my first time and want to stay there for one month, am a bit scared of loneliness
I can only speak for Da Nang as this is the only place I've lived.
Although English is not widely spoken in Vietnam, there are enough young people who do so or are very willing to learn that you can become friends with. They're very open to getting to know foreigners!
I love the people, culture and food here so I think you will love it. In the bigger cities, there's also a large expat community so you will be able to find plenty of friends to hang out with.
@@OliBarrettTravel Thanks a lot! :)
It is superb to see you enjoy yourself in the lively and affordable city of Danang.
Do they have grabbed out there
They do indeed
👍👍👍👍
WITH OUT TIP ^^
👍
Wish directo wasn’t just for desktops
Hopefully they bring it to phones in the future!
Great Video! Thank you so much for this. I've been in Vietnam 10 years ago and I loved it! Would like to come back as a digital nomad and I will 😉
Viet Sandwiches are better in Melbourne than Vietnam.
5k one hour. Thats .20 cents 😂
Six months, you must be able to speak okay Vietnamese.
go to east Java
why Da nang and not thailand?
Vietnam has always called to me. I like the people, culture, food & lifestyle here.
However, Thailand is also a great option.
How hot is it ? Google says Extreme heat ? anyone here in JULY
Yeah, it’s boiling in July. Usually 33-35 degrees during the daytime.
SAMMICH!!😂
Cảm ơn bạn đã nan toả Việt Nam tôi yêu . Tôi từng nghe nhiều người nước ngoài nói . Thiên đường có ở Việt Nam❤❤❤❤❤
You mentioned a dentist you visited... what was the name of it? WhatsApp number? Thanks.
I’ll be in DaNang in September... would like to check it out.
Very nice place...thanks from 🇺🇸 !!
Với mệnh giá như hiện nay, thì dân việt nam sẽ ko đủ tài chính mà du lịch như các bạn trên chính đất nước của chúng tôi
Don't tell the audience things that aren't true and stick to the facts. Vietnam is also not the cheapest country in the world.
please bring back the china videos with your dad, they were so much better! We love you and the CCP, anti western media CCP lies, this is your true strength, we know you!
5 thousand is 10 cents for parking....not sure why you need to haggle
Giá giữ xe như vậy là quá rẻ ở VN rồi
It’s not about the money. I don’t appreciate being charged 3x the price when I’ve tipped every time I’ve been.
He’s on a strict budget.
Alright cheapstake
Bạn có biết cảm giác bị lừa nó khó chịu thế nào không, dù chỉ là một vài nghìn.
Just saying - great content - but....keep driving that bike like that and you will make new friends with hospital staff
Trite, nothing new, there are a thousand travel videos like this on RUclips.
