Hi, I am a retired older American man looking for a flat or house to share in Da Nang, beginning in Nov. 2014. I have lived in Vietnam for seven years, mostly on Phu Quoc Island and HCMC. I want to try living in Da Nang and would prefer renting a room in an apartment or house with other expats or Vietnamese to begin with since I have no contacts there at all. I will be working freelance writing on computer, and I play acoustic guitar and sing. I have a very small fixed pension and need a cheap place with cheap places to eat nearby. I can cook a few things also. I do not smoke or drink and am a quiet person, but very funny and lively when the situation is right. I sometime tutor English or trade with Vietnamese. I have a BA and MA and can help you with writing editing, pronunciation, etc. I am allergic to cats, new paint, new carpets, etc. I am looking for a place that is very clean, with fresh air, peace and quiet ... as much as that is possible. After dealing with the traffic and pollution in HCMC almost anything will be an improvement. Although I did have fun there, I prefer a more natural setting, near to a beach if possible. Let me know if you have something suitable or a tip as to a place to stay for several months while I check out Da Nang for permanent retirement. I do not want to buy any property, only rentals please. Thanks, Steven Gold ([email protected])
