For 25 years, this family has lived in a tiny wooden house floating inside a remote fishing village in northern Vietnam. Surrounded by water and limestone mountains, they cook, sleep, work, and raise their children in a very small space.
Even during heavy summer rain, daily life continues. The family travels by small boat, raises fish and oysters, cleans farming nets, harvests seafood, and prepares oysters for local traders.
Inside the floating home, the kitchen is only large enough for one person. Their meals are simple, mainly fish, shrimp, and oysters caught or raised near the house. Rainwater is collected in large containers for daily use.
The children have no playground and rarely use smartphones. Instead, they play together and learn to balance on narrow wooden planks above the fish pens.
This video offers a rare look at the peaceful but hardworking life of a family living on the water in Vietnam.

These house boats are bigger than what people have in cities to live in.
Material possessions do not provide long term happiness. As a minimalist, I don't envy anyone and don't get jealous.
Sure their lives are more difficult, but it is wholesome and loving.
Truly supports their community. Bravo Vietnam!
I appreciate how you are raising your two girls….keeping them from social media 24/7 but training them how to take over the next generation on the bay, being a productive citizen and a wonderful wife, mother, and person.
Thank you for and this might be my next vacation spot.
