Built for nomads ready to settle in.

Small enough to know everyone's name. Long enough to form real friendships.

Hey, me again.

Mink, the owner… and one of your soon-to-be housemates. That’s right, one of the 15 rooms is mine, so let me be the first to introduce myself.

I’m an obsessive music collector by choice. An obnoxious daydreamer… not by choice. My toxic trait is believing that the perfect playlist is worth weeks of my life.

I’m Dutch. 32. Been living in Vietnam for years. First in Hanoi, now in Hoi An. Speak o-kay Vietnamese (cũng được: 6/10). Love motorbike trips. What else…

Got my own electronic music channel (subscribe or you’re not welcome). Pretty dangerous sense of humour. Proud climber of rocks. Former LinkedIn bro (still respect the grind). And soon-to-be wildly successful coliving owner.

That last bit is kinda up to you.

Now that you know me… who are you?

Why I started this.

I did all kinds of weird jobs. Pedicab driver. Mine worker. Or whatever you call the guy who climbs lightning masts at sports stadiums to replace light bulbs. They paid the bills, sure, but they also tied me down to one place.

 

Remote work let me travel. But the perfect job still didn’t exist. So I kept pursuing new careers: cold calling strangers, teaching English, copywriting, you name it. Some I hated. Others, freeing.

 

It took me 8 jobs and more than 10 years to realise I wasn’t looking for a different job. I was looking for a different way to live.

 

So I opened Rice & Co.

 

A home for 15-20 remote workers to live, work and connect.

 

Your room is waiting.
