Would I Live in This Friendly City in Vietnam?

🌿 DA LAT, VIETNAM: Final Impressions, Local Life & the Journey Back to Saigon 🇻🇳 After extending my stay in Da Lat, it was finally time to say goodbye. In this Vietnam travel vlog, I spend my last days exploring more of Da Lat’s local neighborhoods, visiting a Vietnamese gym, enjoying authentic street food, relaxing by the famous Xuan Huong Lake, and sharing my honest thoughts on what it's really like to live in Da Lat as a long-term traveler. From friendly locals and charming streets to affordable hotels, coffee culture, and the city's unique climate, this video offers a realistic look at one of Vietnam’s most popular mountain destinations. I also share my experience booking a limousine van back to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), including travel costs, booking challenges, comfort level, and whether it's worth choosing over the bus.
