So I Spent A Month Bartending in a Hostel in Vietnam… Here’s The Real Story
Update: 2025-09-11
Description
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.
