## Reviews & press

**Rating: 5.0 out of 5** from verified independent reviews on [ProductReview.com.au](https://www.productreview.com.au/listings/retire-and-reset).

> "What a wonderful concept is Retire and Reset. It is the perfect way to undergo slow travel where you are not racing from one sight or experience to another. I recently lived like a local in Vietnam for 4 weeks and felt as though I had experienced everything that the country had to offer. I am already looking forward to my next stay in another country."
> — Peter, Australia · 5/5 · ProductReview.com.au

> "My recent trip with Retire & Reset in Da Nang turned out to be an experience that will shape my travelling style. From arrival, check in, the introductory walk and having a local guide throughout 30 days, I was able to settle in and live like a local. I've always been a solo traveller but lacked connection with locals due to the language barrier — having a local guide and a curious community elevated my excitement to try new things like squid fishing, sunrise paddle boarding and squid noodles."
