Life-changing experience

June 10, 2026by: Jonathan Tram - United States

I had always wanted to try teaching abroad ever since college. After spending 10 years working in the states, my wife and I decided that we wanted to try something new. Travelbuds was with us every single step of the way. They helped me with documentation, logistics, school-matching, and most importantly, they assured me everything was going to be okay. I’m so very thankful.

You won't regret it

"I love life in Vietnam. I love teaching, the low cost of living and the lively social setting of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). I earn £1000 a month (after tax) for 80 hours work per month, and can save £200+ every month. There are tons of expats, so you can make lots of Western friends quickly - but you also can make Vietnamese friends too. The people (especially in Saigon) are very friendly and it's easy to find people who will help you practice your Vietnamese! I have lots of free time to explore new hobbies such as photography and playing guitar, as well as spending time with friends. I would definitely recommend the program and living in Vietnam"

A home away from home

The most amazing this about coming to Vietnam so far is the people. Every day from the first moment I step out into the street - I feel cared for by the people of Vietnam. A local will go out of their way to come over and help you order street food, bring you a napkin, offer a gift or simply smile and say hello. They are always happy to have a conversation , sit with you, share their food. It happens over and over. I never feel alone here because the sense of community is so great and I always feel included in that. Travel Bud did an exceptional job at setting the tone for this welcoming , caring , warm experience before I even touched the ground. I feel like I was seamlessly passed from the helpful hands of TravelBud over to the people of Vietnam and I couldn’t feel more at home.
