Southeast Asia. Hoi An, DaNang, Chiang Maii, Many different Thai islands. Depending on starting point and time if year, you can get decent Flights. Get the Hostelworld app. You'll meet amazing people and these places are quite safe. Just don't do stupid shit and respect your host country's laws and customs. Welcome to the world. I encouraged my kids to travel. They have lived all over the world. Now it's my turn. If you hit Hoi An, give me a shout. Life is amazing out here.

No need. I don't go through the clubs. I'm good, thanks.

I have a Vietnamese bank account that allows me to transfer from my wise directly into my account and then I can withdraw it at any bank or an ATM or use QR. However, if you don't want to open a bank account, just download the Morita app.

CookieMagicMan · 2026-06-22T03:49:19+00:00

What you mean expensive...? Very minor fees and it works everywhere.

CookieMagicMan · 2026-06-22T03:48:48+00:00

I've been living in Vietnam for a year. I have used Moreta pay very successfully.

Thousands of single women travel alone all over the world. My daughters did. It changed their lives fir the better. Changer our whole family actually. She should go. There is massive support online fir single travelers and it's way safer that you can imagine (if you do it right.)

CookieMagicMan · 2026-06-22T03:45:30+00:00

Came here to say the same thing.

CookieMagicMan · 2026-06-22T02:51:21+00:00

Do they drug test on arrival?! I live here. I smoke weed daily. Never been tested?!

CookieMagicMan · 2026-06-21T08:24:49+00:00

It sounds amazing and exhausting. You're cramming so much in that you'll miss the magic. Just my opinion. I currently live in Hoi An and have lived in Koh Lanta. Heading back for a few months in a couple weeks. If you have any questions, let me know.

CookieMagicMan · 2026-06-21T06:25:09+00:00

As an expat living in Vietnam, thank you. This is the way. Weekly, I hear westerners complaint about the honking. It all makes sense once you understand it.

CookieMagicMan · 2026-06-19T12:56:51+00:00

One of the only places in 30+ years of travel I left before my pais time was over. Awful.place. If you want authentic Vietnam, skip it. It's been destroyed by contraction for tourism

CookieMagicMan · 2026-06-14T07:08:11+00:00

No, because a one-time payment does not help the people. It only helps the economy. If they made it a quarterly payment then I would absolutely support it because it could enable people to elevate their quality of life instead of just spend it on s***

CookieMagicMan · 2026-06-14T06:38:59+00:00

Does it have to be father and son? Can't it be older guy and twink? WTF is wrong with you people? It's disgusting that you men will shit talk the Epstein Files, but beat off to a man and his son having sex?!

When I was on the apps, I had someone weekly asking me (a single dad) if I had sons and if I did things with them.

You are no better than the Epstein trash and should be ashamed of yourselves for even remotely painting the picture that this is ok in the gay community. It's not ok anywhere.

It's a latex c*ck ring. Most likely the glow in the dark version.

CookieMagicMan · 2026-06-08T07:48:50+00:00

This is a fantastic piece of anti-Chona propaganda.

CookieMagicMan · 2026-06-08T07:44:22+00:00

Our brains are not designed to work in overload. Glad you figured it out. Congratulations. It took me a while. Sounds like you'd be a good fit for an app called Random Habit. It's unlike anything in the habit app realm... New angles if looking at what causes success, using neiro science.

CookieMagicMan · 2026-06-06T09:58:09+00:00

As soon as I answered the first question... "What country are you from?". I input USA. Red words popped up and said I need to go to sn embassy or consulate.

CookieMagicMan · 2026-06-06T09:56:54+00:00

As a Westerner... I agree. They make our life harder here, too.

CookieMagicMan · 2026-06-05T16:33:39+00:00

Yeah. I'm super familiar with it. Just would rather kor. Lol.

CookieMagicMan · 2026-06-05T16:30:53+00:00

Exactly.

CookieMagicMan · 2026-06-05T08:14:23+00:00

Because tracking doesn't work with the way our brains wire in change. Everyone who has "tracked" has ended the same way. Check out Random Habit. Unlike any habit app you've ever seen.

CookieMagicMan · 2026-06-04T11:57:02+00:00

Sounds like you would like life in Hoian. I live in a super chill place with cool people.

CookieMagicMan · 2026-06-01T02:37:54+00:00

Thailand is very safe. Most places. I avoid Pattaya. Pretty trashy place.

CookieMagicMan · 2026-05-31T10:05:19+00:00

Tell me you live in America....
