Hello!
I have been reading this forum for quite some time now getting tips and advice from Ex-Pats and thought I should introduce myself now I have taken the plunge and booked myself a one way flight to Ho Chi Minh on the 6th of January!
My name is Michael, I am 20 years old and born and raised in a small Town in England called Market Harborough.
Until now, I have worked In travel since the age of 16 working as a Commercial Aviation Executive for a UK tour operator.
Whilst I've still got the opportunity to do it I've decided to pack in my job, leave my friends behind and move to Vietnam.
I have enrolled myself on a TESOL course that starts at the beginning of February.
I'm musical, very sporty (love my football) and like meeting new people.
If anyone (male or female!) is up for a cheeky beer or two let me know.
I have a few questions about accommodation etc but I will post seperately to this thread.
I am very excited about moving, I recently visited Ho Chi Minh to put all of my anxiety about the place to bed and can honestly say it was love at first sight 
Hope to meet/speak to you soon!
Michael
