Live and work in Da Lat

Trần Hà Tâm · Tam Farms · Da Lat, Lam Dong

Have you ever thought about moving to Da Lat? You want to leave the city, work in cool fresh air, close to nature, with more time for yourself? This program is for you — before you decide in a rush.

What this is

Live and work in Da Lat is a program for people who are considering moving to Da Lat long-term, but are not yet sure whether they fit with the pace of life, the climate, the work environment, and the cost of living here.

Instead of quitting your job, selling your house, moving your things, and only then realizing it does not fit — you can come first, live from 1 week to 3 months, do real online work, experience the real rhythm of life, and answer the most important question for yourself: "Do I want to live this way long-term?"

What you will do

  • Live in a real daily rhythm: wake up early, do light gardening when you want, eat real food, walk in the garden.
  • Do real online work — bring your current work, do it in a quiet space, with clear boundaries between work and rest.
  • Experience daily life in the outskirts: go to the local market, cook, take care of your own basic needs.
  • Observe and journal: one line a day, one question a week, one small conclusion a month.
  • Talk with the founder about practical concerns — costs, weather, internet, healthcare, community, schooling for children if any.

What you will answer for yourself

  • Do I fit with Da Lat's cool and humid climate?
  • Does my online work run smoothly when I live far from the city?
  • Does a slower pace make me comfortable or bored?
  • Are the real costs of living here suitable for my long-term budget?
  • Should I move here for good, or only come regularly each year?

A representative day

There is no resort-style schedule. A normal day is organised around your work and ability to care for yourself.

Morning

Prepare breakfast, walk or do light garden work when suitable, then begin your own work.

Daytime

Work to your own schedule, prepare meals and handle ordinary daily needs.

Evening

Rest, journal and join a pre-arranged conversation. Activities are not added simply to fill time.

Actual rhythms depend on the location, weather, season, work and health. Details are confirmed only after a location is selected.

Contribution and support

Tam Farms does not use one price for every person and location. Before confirming, you receive a written proposal listing the location contribution, programme or expert support if any, utilities and kitchen use, personal expenses, deposit, cancellation and refund terms.

No payment is taken when you send an inquiry.
