My Frugal Life - Stella in Vietnam

Blog: Stella in Vietnam

I have spent 1.5 years volunteering and working in Da Nang, Viet Nam. I volunteer in orphanages and work at centers for disadvantaged and/or disabled children, specifically working with children who are deaf. I also work as an English teacher.

I have been back in Viet Nam for about 9 months now. The experience has been quite different from the first. I have hit a lot of obstacles this time around, mostly dealing with housing. I have successfully been working as an english teacher at a school for children for the last 5 months and have loved it. Although my schedule there has made it so I have been unable to visit the orphanage as much as I would like to.

I am now renting my own house. I live down a little alley and get quite a bit of attention from my neighbors but they are all really nice.

I have learned how to speak the language fairly well.

I plan on being here for quite a bit longer.

About Me:

I recently obtained my bachelors degree in special needs education, cultural studies, dance and sustainability studies (I went to a liberal arts college that did not have majors). I have always wanted to travel the world and had been in the application process to join the Peace Corps until I found Global Volunteering Network. Before I ended up in Vietnam I had never thought of going there but I try to be a spontaneous being and when this opportunity present itself, it felt right and I left two months later.
