Hoi An,Vietnam Feb 26-Mar 12, 2026

Hoi An is just a short drive from Danang. Sometimes, we prefer just to keep our travels close and feel no urgency to explore an entire country. We did a fun tour of Hoi An, where I rode a water Buffalo, we made laterns together, and Robin made rice noodles. We also were fortunate to have met up a 2nd time with several Senior Nomads. We spent some time at the An Bang Beach and Randy got the haircut of a lifetime.

Senior Nomad Encounters

We generally reach out to Senior Nomad Facebook Group members to meet and share. This time, we met up for the 2nd time with 3 fellow nomads.

We first met Brenna and Matt in Chiang Mai
We met Michel in Chiang Mai as well
The Night Market was fun
The lanterns all lit up were magical

Randy got the all inclusive haircut, complete with shave, facial cleanse, exfoliation, facial massage, hot stone liver compress, shampoo, neck and shoulder massage, hot towel application, earwax cleaning, collagen face mask and steam facial, all for under $6.

Finished product

We enjoyed pleasant 2 weeks in Hoi An. It was a bit touristy and the traffic on certain streets was hectic. I don’t think we will return, but I’ll always remember that haircut.

Next stop… Siem Reap, Cambodia
