PodSwap | Vietnam Is Awesome - Discover The Life Of An Expat In Da Nang With Our Editor-in-Chief - Alan Brownbridge!

Niall Mackay Season 9 Episode 39

Welcome to the Vietnam Is Awesome Podcast. We'll help you discover the real Vietnam with awesome experiences.

I'm Niall Mackay, your host. I've lived in Vietnam since 2016, and I'm the host of a Vietnam podcast, A comedian, and now a brand ambassador for Vietnam Is Awesome.

I came to Vietnam for a two-week vacation and was immediately taken by the beauty, friendliness, energy, and even all the quirks of Vietnam. I came back in 2016 with my wife for just six weeks, and six years later we're still here.

I’ll be talking to people from all over Vietnam working in tourism, bars, resorts, hotels, nightlife and more to share with you experiences that prove, Vietnam Is Awesome. 

In this episode my guest is the Editor-in-Chief of Vietnam Is Awesome. 

Also having lived here for 6 years, he has travelled to many iconic and off-the-beaten-track locations in Vietnam with some stunning photos to show for it. 

He’s also married and lives in Da Nang with his wife Phuong and his little dog Lilly.

My guest today is Alan Brownbridge. 

We’re going to be talking about Da Nang and Central Vietnam today…

  • Why Danang is a good central point and where can you explore from there?
  • How has Covid and the weather affected the region? 
  • Why photography tours are such big thing to do in Vietnam. 


Enjoy!
