🚧 Announcement from Nicolas Thành, the former owner of DaBlend Hostel
🚨
DaBlend Hostel is now definitely closed!
In March 2020, at the start of the pandemic in Vietnam, the country closed it’s borders to tourists and our hostel had to shut-down. After a year and a half, I decided to make this post for few reasons:
A) To thank all this amazing community; the backpackers, world travelers, digital nomads, adventurers and authenticity-seekers. You made this hostel an amazing destination, you inspired almost all my decisions and guided our team to organize activities or offer special services.
B) To thank the team; as the owner of the hostel, I would not have make it without my team. Thank you for your consistent efforts, for doing your best to follow my directions and please our dear guests. I truly wish you to find happiness in your career and hope to meet you all soon again!
C) To take the chance to review what I learned and write it in my personal website. I invite all of you to go and check it out, and let me know what you think of it. This adventure of 4 years quickly started and brutally ended, leaving me with plenty of life-lessons and a memorable experience!
