The HEX Vietnam experience was a magical experience for me, where I made friends for a lifetime and learnt so much about startups! I found out about the experience through 360 International, and they gave me a subsidised scholarship which I am incredibly grateful for. The programme experience was not what I was expecting at…Continue Reading Malisha’s report from HEX in Vietnam (June 2024)
It’s been a week since we returned from Vietnam, and I’ve been going back through my journal and reflecting on all of the amazing experiences. I wish I could share everything about my time there, but you probably don’t have time to read a whole novel. So instead, I thought I would share a snapshot…Continue Reading Looking Back
I feel mixed emotions with there being less than a week left of our internship. I am so happy to go home to my family; however, I don’t want to leave Vietnam because Ho Chi Minh feels like home now. It feels like I will be trading in the family and friends I have made…Continue Reading Week of Goodbyes
After much travel around Vietnam in the past two months, I’ve spent the last week enjoying the last of our trip soaking up exploring the very city that we have been living in – Ho Chi Minh City. It is hard to conceptualise Saigon (HCM) as a whole, but every district comes with its own…Continue Reading Exploring Saigon
As an intern, I spend my weekdays at work and exploring Ho Chi Minh city in the evening. However, on the weekends, my new friends and I love to get out of the city and see other sides of Vietnam! It has been really interesting to see how the scenery and lifestyles range so drastically…Continue Reading Weekend Adventures in Vietnam!!

Come along with me for a day in the life of an intern in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam! My morning started off as all good days do – with a streetside Vietnamese coffee. This spot is a 2min walk from our apartment, so it’s been a favourite of mine for these cheeky pre-work coffee…Continue Reading A Day in the Life
The first two weeks in Vietnam have been breathtaking. As I finish the second week of my internship, I feel so grateful for everything I have experienced. We are now entering the Vietnamese New Year, a celebration of spending time with loved ones, eating traditional foods, and celebrating the year you have had, along with…Continue Reading New Years, Vietnam Edition (Part One)
6th February 2023: I booked a weekend getaway with my friend after spending long hours at work during the week. Our destination: Mũi Né! We travelled there via a sleeper bus. This was my first time in one, and it was so comfortable; being able to lay down horizontally with my legs extended made sleeping…Continue Reading Resort Time!
30th January 2023: I had ten days off work due to it being Tet in Vietnam. This was a fantastic opportunity to travel in Vietnam while engaging in new experiences, so I had to take it. It took strenuous periods of planning with my friends, but we got there in the end. I could finally…Continue Reading Tet Holiday Celebrations
