So I Spent A Month Bartending in a Hostel in Vietnam… Here’s The Real Story
One little decision “for the plot” landed me behind the bar of a hostel in Hoi An, Vietnam.
In this episode, I’m sharing the real story. From five-hour night shifts and crazy pool parties to found-family friendships, I’ll take you inside the chaos, the laughter, and the hidden curriculum of bartending.
I’ll also answer some of the questions I get most often in my DMs:
How I landed the job in the first place + what it entails
Day-in-the-life: full-time remote work by day, bar shifts by night (was it worth it?)
Patterns you notice in hostels
“For the plot” vs “for the résumé” decisions
Why I’m staying another month in Hoi An (and retreating to a beach bungalow to recharge)
Come sit with me, let’s catch up.
