Working and Volunteering in Vietnam...

Views to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Readers often write to me for advice on living and working in Vietnam. Unfortunately many of the question are out of my depth and knowledge base.

I did a little investigative research to get you started. I will add to this list as my research continues. If there is a link you would like to recommend. Please write to me at jeannecollageoflife@gmail.com
