Many of the guides on this site are focused on food, nightlife, and coffee. However, when you make the jump from traveler to expat you have a different set of needs. When people contact me with questions about moving to Hanoi, they usually ask the same things. I’m going to do my best to address all of those questions here. So here are my official cliff notes on how to get your feet on the ground in Hanoi.
I should note that this article is not the end-all be-all of Hanoi. There are always other places you can look, and it’s possible that many of them would be good options. BUT, if you choose to rely exclusively on my suggestions, everything WILL be fine. That’s a Peter Promise.
