I wanted to share something personal and important with you. I’ve just released a new classroom inside Vietnam Live Better For Less called Finding Calm in Vietnam. It’s a gentle, three-part classroom designed for people living with long-term stress, nervous system overload, or PTSD — especially those coming from large, high-intensity cities and wondering whether a quieter environment might make a difference. The classroom isn’t about fixing anything or pushing big life decisions. It explores how environment quietly affects well being, what everyday life in places like Da Nang actually feels like, and how to engage with busier cities like Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi on your own terms — without overwhelm. Everything is paced slowly, with optional reflection and no pressure to share. Because you are foundation members of Vietnam Live Better For Less, you’ll have free access for life to this classroom. Going forward, new members will see it offered as a once-off access option ($29.95), but existing members will always remain grandfathered in. I wanted to make sure this stayed aligned with the spirit of this community — trust first, value first, no rush. As always, explore it only if and when it feels right for you. Feedback is welcome, and quiet participation is completely okay too.

One of the reasons I built Vietnam Live Better for Less wasn’t just about cost of living — it was about building sustainable, calm ways to live and earn while here. Many people joining this community are digital nomads, semi-retirees, or career-changers who want to upskill, stay relevant, or create income streams without stress or hype. AI keeps coming up in those conversations — often with curiosity, but just as often with uncertainty or overwhelm. That’s why I’ve opened a new classroom inside the community calledHuman-First AI Prompting for Writers. It’s designed for people who want to use AI in a practical, grounded way — for writing, communication, projects, and everyday work — without losing their voice, confidence, or sense of control. Because you’re already part of Vietnam Live Better for Less: - 🔓 The classroom will unlock for you at Level 3 - 🎁 All current members will have free access for life - 💳 Later in the year, it may be offered to new members as a one-time paid option, but existing members will always be grandfathered in This isn’t about becoming “an AI expert.” It’s about using modern tools calmly and ethically to support the kind of lifestyle many of us are building here — flexible, sustainable, and human-first. If you know friends, colleagues, or fellow nomads who are thinking about Vietnam, remote work, or adapting their skills for this next chapter, I’d really appreciate you sharing this with them. The more thoughtful people we have in here, the stronger the community becomes. As always, explore it at your own pace — and feedback is welcome. 🙏

For the digital nomads and retirees in our community with time on their hands 👋 Have you ever thought about creating a radio-style show? I did — mine’s called After Midnight with Daktari Knight (my alter ego). It’s a late-night, old-school talkback vibe, and it’s been a fascinating creative outlet. In a few weeks, I’ll be posting a step-by-step module showing the exact workflow I use to create a full episode — refined down to 60 minutes from idea to finished show. If you’re curious, inspired, or just enjoy midnight conversations…feel free to subscribe to After Midnight and follow along. 🌙📻 Sometimes the best projects are the ones you create simply because you finally have the time.

Hey everyone 👋 I wanted to give you a quick update and a bit of transparency about what’s happening behind the scenes. I’m currently building several new classrooms inside Vietnam Live Better for Less. You’ll start to see them appear gradually over the next few weeks. Some are already visible, others are still being shaped, refined, and populated with lessons. I’m deliberately building these slowly and thoughtfully, rather than rushing content out. My goal is simple: 👉 to provide real, practical value that genuinely helps you live better, calmer, and more affordably in Vietnam. These classrooms will cover different aspects of life here — lifestyle, money, health, social connection, wellbeing, and adapting to long-term life abroad — not just logistics. I’d also really love your input 🙏 If there are any short courses or specific topics you’d like to see added to this community, please comment below or message me. Nothing is too small or too niche — if it helps even a few people, it’s worth building. This community means a lot to me, and I want to give as much value back as possible. Thanks for being part of it and for your patience while I keep building 🧡

A New Classroom, A Personal Reason, And A Thank You I wanted to share something new I’m quietly building inside Vietnam – Live Better for Less. Over time, I’ve realised that many of us here aren’t just interested in living better in Vietnam — we’re also thinking about how to earn sustainably, online, without noise, pressure, or hype. Because of that, I’m creating an additional classroom called Human-First AI Prompting for Writers. This isn’t about replacing creativity or “letting AI do the work.” It’s about learning how to work with AI thoughtfully — especially if you: - Write (posts, blogs, books, communities, emails) - Run an online business or side project - Want location-independent income - Feel curious about AI but also a bit overwhelmed or cautious The focus will be practical and human: - How to use AI without losing your voice - How prompting actually works (in plain language) - How writers and creators can use AI as a tool, not a crutch - How people living in Vietnam can apply this to real income-earning activities I also want to be open about something important. Building this classroom — slowly and with care — has been genuinely helpful for my PTSD recovery. Creating something useful, thoughtful, and community-focused gives me structure, purpose, and calm. For that reason, I’ve decided this classroom will be free for early members of this community. This isn’t a sales funnel or a rush to monetise. It’s a shared value exchange: - You get access to a practical skillset - I get the benefit of building something meaningful, at a human pace You don’t need to be “into AI.” You don’t need to use it at all. It’s there if and when it’s useful to you. As always, take what serves you and leave the rest.
