Test the Waters

For couples and solo expats who want to put boots on the ground in Da Nang before making a big decision.

You’re seriously considering Da Nang, but you want to live it—safely and sanely—before you commit. Our Test the Waters package gives you a clear plan, real numbers, and a gentle first experience in a vibrant Southeast Asian beach city instead of a chaotic guessing game. Learn from our mistakes that cost us both time and money — that’s even with Vanessa being fluent in Vietnamese. We’ll also share what we learned along the way that has made life so much easier. Finally, we’ll give you a glimpse into life as a Da Nang resident versus drifting through like a tourist.

What you get

1. Custom Da Nang Budget Build‑Out (with Expat Budget Tracker)
We use our Da Nang Expat Budget Tracker (normally $99) to build your actual numbers together on a live call.

  • Compare your current life vs Da Nang side‑by‑side.

  • Model different rent levels, eating‑out habits, and transport choices.

  • See realistic monthly ranges for a 2–12 week stay and a potential longer move.

You keep the tracker and can adjust it anytime as your plans change.

2. Neighborhood & Lifestyle Brief
You get 2–3 recommended neighborhoods matched to:

  • Your budget and walking needs

  • Your comfort level with noise, nightlife, and “local” vs “touristy”

  • Proximity to the beach, cafes, and medical care

Each area comes with a simple breakdown: what feels safe and calm, what’s lively, and what typical rentals look like.

3. Pre‑Arrival Setup Checklist

We walk you through, in simple steps:

  • Money & banking: how to pay for life here from the US smoothly

  • Keeping your US number for 2FA and important calls

  • Essential apps (Grab, messaging, maps, translation, VPN) and how to use them

  • Packing, climate, and “don’t forget this” items for a low‑stress start

4. Trial‑Stay Plan (“Boots on the Ground” Itinerary)

A flexible plan for 2–12 weeks that balances:

  • Exploration (neighborhood walks, markets, beach time)

  • Real‑life routines (grocery shopping, coffee spots, quiet time)

  • Practical tasks (apartment scouting, clinic visits)

This helps you see how the stay will feel calm and structured, not rushed or reckless.

5. Trusted Local Connections (Light Coordination)

We introduce you to:

  • A trusted driver for airport pickup and key rides

  • Vetted local vendors for water, laundry, eSim services

You pay local providers directly; we explain typical rates and tipping guidelines, so you feel confident and fair.

6. Two Live Sessions + Written Plan

  • Session 1 (60–75 minutes): deep‑dive into your situation and start the budget + neighborhood mapping.

  • Session 2 (60 minutes): review your written plan and checklist, refine, and answer questions.

You leave with a clear plan you can revisit anytime.

Pricing

  • Standard price: $795

  • Early‑bird founder pricing (first 5 Test the Waters clients): $495

Discovery Call credit:

If you book this package within 30 days of your 30‑minute Discovery Call, the full call fee is applied to your Test the Waters package. Our Da Nang Expat Budget Tracker (sold separately for $99) is also included at no extra charge and customized with you live.

Smooth Landing in Da Nang

GET YOUR PERSONALIZED 30–90 DAY TRANSITION PACKAGE for couples and solo expats who have decided that Da Nang is the place—and want a guided, low‑stress transition strategy.

You’ve moved past “maybe.” Now the question is: how do we land safely, get settled, and keep feeling secure and supported in a completely new environment? Smooth Landing gives you a step‑by‑step plan for your first 30–90 days so you don’t have to figure it out alone.

What you get

1. Full Da Nang Budget Design (with Expat Budget Tracker)

We use our Da Nang Expat Budget Tracker (normally $99) to build out your long‑term Da Nang budget together.

  • Model different rent standards (from comfortable to “treat yourself” ocean‑view).

  • Run variations for healthcare, insurance, and emergency buffers.

  • Compare part‑time Da Nang / part‑time US options if that’s on the table.

You keep the tracker for ongoing planning as your life here evolves.

2. Housing Strategy & Shortlist

We don’t just say “rents are cheap”—we help you think like someone who has actually lived here.

  • Define your realistic rent range and non‑negotiables.

  • Talk through what to avoid (mold, construction noise, seasonal issues).

  • Provide sample listings and questions to ask landlords/agents so your apartment hunt feels safe and intentional.

3. Healthcare & Safety Orientation

We address the spouse’s top fears directly:

  • How healthcare works here for foreigners.

  • The difference between clinics, hospitals, and when to use which.

  • What to bring (meds, records), what to buy locally, and how to handle an unexpected issue.

You get a simple set of steps for your first 30–90 days so “What if something happens?” has real answers.

4. 30–90 Day Landing Plan

A detailed, week‑by‑week style overview covering:

  • When to arrive and where to stay first.

  • The best timing for apartment scouting and lease decisions.

  • How to pace yourself so you don’t burn out or freak out.

  • When to plug into community events vs when to rest.

Think of it as your “playbook” for becoming residents instead of long‑term tourists.

5. Community & Daily Life Integration

We help you step into a life, not just a location:

  • Introductions to our existing social circle (pickleball, group meals, meetups).

  • Suggestions for routines that make Da Nang feel familiar quickly: favorite morning spots, safe walking routes, markets, and low‑key nights out.

The goal is for you to feel “I can see myself here” by the end of the first month.

6. Trusted Local Support (Enhanced Coordination)

Compared to Test the Waters, Smooth Landing includes more robust coordination with our trusted local network:

  • Planning airport pickup and key transport.

  • Structuring apartment viewing days and practical errand runs.

  • Suggesting check‑in visits to clinics or hospitals so you’re registered and oriented early.

Again, you pay local providers directly; we help you choose and plan.

7. Three Live Sessions + On‑Call Guidance Window

  • Session 1: deep‑dive and long‑term budget design.

  • Session 2: housing + healthcare strategy and landing plan.

  • Session 3: fine‑tune.

  • Plus, a defined period (e.g., 30 days) of email/message support for practical questions as you prepare or settle in.

Pricing

  • Standard price: $1,195

  • Early‑bird founder pricing (first 5 Smooth Landing clients): $895
