Our final full day at Hygge Farm was packed with salted coffees, rock painting chaos, a surprise snake encounter at the quarry, and cooking dinner for 24 people. It ended around a fire, reflecting on community, slow travel and the routines we didn’t realise we’d grown to love.

A freezing night on the floor, digging trenches, hauling banana trees down a Vietnamese back road, kids with machetes, salted coffee wins and a sweaty sunset run through the rice fields. Farm life on Day 51 wore us out in the best possible way.

Fifty days into our worldschooling adventure and we’re finding our rhythm on a Vietnamese farmstay. From digging septic trenches and sharing bánh mì breakfasts to a golden sunset run through backcountry roads, Day 50 was simple, social, and deeply grounding. The nights are rough, the showers are questionable, but the community vibe is real and we’re learning how to slow down.

After a rough night in a creaky bunkhouse, we were up at 7am for animal duties at our Vietnam farmstay. From scooping manure and chopping banana trees with a machete to sharing simple meals with travellers from Germany, Israel and France, Day 48 was slow, rainy and unexpectedly grounding. Farm life isn’t glamorous, but it’s real.

Day 47 was all about goodbyes, gelato surprises, and stepping into something completely different. We said farewell to Green Areka Villas after a beautiful stay, rode off with way too many bags, and arrived at a rural volunteer farmstay with bucket showers and bunk beds. From Vietnamese birthday kindness to boiling kettles for warm showers, it was a full day of contrasts.
