Our Mini Services Menu
Some inspirations on when you should ring us!
the essential friend
(help with the everyday uncertainties)
Let us arrange services with Vietnamese businesses for you, saving you the "Foreigner Tax" of businesses priced for expats.
Hand the phone to someone - or put us on speakerphone - when you need help talking in person (like dealing with any Visa bureaucracy here, ever).
3-way calls for when you need to be on the phone, but you're not sure if the person that answers will speak nuanced English.
Text us unknown numbers and we'll call to find out who they are.
"Better than Google" translations of words (for product searches online) and short texts (for things that need to be correct, like, "I'm allergic to seafood...")
the Package Helper
(help with sending & receiving mail)
Have a dedicated number to give to shippers when you order online.
Never worry about missing a package because of the language barrier.
Let a native speaker arrange your deliveries for times when you are home.
We communicate with stores and shippers for you if there's a problem.
the fixer friend
(rescues you when things break)
We help find available service providers when you don't know who to call...
...and then help you communicate with them when doing the work.
Help arrange for roadside services if your bike breaks down... or a plumber for leaking pipes.
Help top-up your sim card, understand packages, and deal with phone issues.
The Travel guru
(when being lost isn't fun anymore)
An emergency contact for you and your support network when you are in trouble. If you fall off your bike, how would your family & friends find out? Is there someone local they can call if they can't reach you? We can help.
Help with domestic travel arrangements, such as booking long-distance taxis, buses, and trains.
Help finding cafes, food, and essential services when traveling outside of the major cities (most businesses don't use English on Google Maps outside of Hanoi and HCMC)
the perfect third wheel
(when you want to be romantic, but your partner
is the one that speaks Vietnamese)
Help plan surprises when you can't ask your partner for help translating, because it's their surprise.
Help with flower and present deliveries (good if one of you is out of country).
Provide cultural feedback on different customs and dating expectations in Vietnam (they may be different then back home).
Recommendations and help reserving special places for cute dates.
