I'm looking to head to Vietnam in March and want to say 3 months. I'll be working online over there and want to get setup somewhere quiet and peaceful and cultural. No great travel experience so keen to be based somewhere and able to do short trips from there when desired.
Hallo, just signed up and was hoping for some fast responses as I'm keen to get this sorted in the next 24 hours.

I like the look of Hanoi, I'm not a hectic city life person. Am I right to think that it would be the best place for me to at least fly into, get settled and chill out for a week or two then take things from there?
Having looked at a few comparisons between the two HCMC looks like somewhere I wouldn't like to stay longer than a week.
Ultimately, I'd like to end up somewhere nice and coasta/beachy, if such a place exists.
Thanks
Reply to this Hi,
In my oppinion, you should travel in Ho Chi Minh city because HCMC have more sunny day than Hanoi. Furthermore, HCMC have many interesting activities for tourists such as shoppin in Ben Thanh Market, travel around Duc Ba church and enjoy famous street foods in there.
Reply to this If you would like to see a city active and joyful, you should choose HCMC. And HCMC is near by some beautiful beaches like Vung Tau, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, then you can go to there to enjoy your trip here.
Reply to this I searched on net Hanoi very beautiful and siutable to travel on March. What do you think Hitano?
Reply to this As the others said, look at the climate. Hanoi can get cooler in the winter, whilst hcmc is hot and humid all year. Depends what you want. Both have great facilities and services for expats.
There are expat groups for both cities on Facebook.
