In 2012, Tobias Briffa landed in Vietnam with one suitcase and bags of optimism. He found work at an agency in Ho Chi Minh City, where he collaborated with the world’s most influential brands, namely Coca-Cola and Unilever.
But he quickly grew uninspired. Tobias felt large corporations were a barrier for true and meaningful creativity. It was this sense of restlessness that brought three of his friends together to set up their own boutique ad agency. But the experience was not dissimilar. They realised it was time for something new altogether.
“We came together and decided to invest the money we made from advertising in setting up a small home-brewing project. Originally, we considered different products, but we stuck with beer because Luis, one of my business partner’s brothers, was planning to come back to Vietnam and join us on our business endeavours. He was both very passionate about home-brewing and a biochemist,” Tobias, 33, says from his home in Ho Chi Minh City.
1. Cost Of Living
International Living points out that Vietnamâs âexceptionally low cost of livingâ is a huge draw. In
A Better Life for Half the Price, author Tim Leffel notes that Vietnam is âone of the best values in the world for travelers, especially when it comes to lodging and food,â making it a great value for residents, too. Leffel says that when it comes to apartments, almost anywhere in the country, âyou can find something nice and reasonably roomy in the range of $300 to $800 a month.â
Indeed, Neil Varden, the CEO of CabinZero, moved to Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC or commonly still referred to as Saigon) from the United Kingdom three years ago, reports, âThe cost of living is great. I can live like a king without spending much money, to be honest.â
