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.
