The Vietnamese people know who we are, during the Viet Nam war many blacks were treated with reverence. They knew about our suggles in America. So they know who we are as a people. Ho chi Minh, knew about the civil rights movement in America. We must learn more about who they are too. We are all connected.

Vietnam is amazing! 1 of my best travel experiences during my 3 year sabbatical. 1 thing is for sure is that 99% of the things I did as a solo traveler I wouldn't do in countries (Brazil, Colombia, the continent of Africa, etc) that "celebrate" us as Black people. Never had to keep head on a swivel, wore what I want/when I want, etc. Cab rides in the weee hours of the morning. It's very solo travel friendly for Black women. Love SEA!!!

I love traveling and living in countries where I'm part of the majority. That's a healing feeling that many Africans in the Diaspora should experience.

Let's Gooooooo! "The next migration..." Go where we get love and apreciation. The West hates us but loves our gifts. Africa and Asia absolutely are fascinated with us and show much love. I feel like a rich celebrity in Rwanda!

When President Ho Chi Minh went to the USA during his early years, he stayed in Harlem New York, and worked at the same bakery at the same time as the Honorable Malcolm X.

I'm a 67 year old FBA living in district 3. I moved on from Thailand to Vietnam and I'm loving it. I mostly cook for myself and I absolutely love shopping at the local fresh markets here. I live around the locals, not really looking for expats and I've met a few locals who speak English, I also have the language translator so I'm pretty good. I use VP bank ATM"s. The other day a bus driver shouted "I love you" at me. Never had that happen before in any other country, period. I'm living my best life. ❤

Vietnam may not be the right place for you if you’re not comfortable with friendly, curious locals. I understand that some tourists worry about scams, but it can feel discouraging when genuine friendliness is misinterpreted. Once, I tried chatting with a tourist while hiking in Dalat, and she told her guide she didn’t want to talk to me, I was really shocked.
But over time, I’ve realized that Vietnamese people are actually among the most welcoming and least discriminatory. Most of us just want to share kindness with visitors.

Love your video! Did you know you can be a part time English teacher, teaching 20hrs/week. That can give you $1,200 US /month. The school will pay for your Visa. They also pay for annual physical check up at an international hospital. YOu can have a Singapore Bank account and do ATM withdraw or transfer international fun....

I've been following you guys since the beginning of your YouTube journey. I would like to see you link up with Isaiah. Ashley who now lives in Vietnam but has been in Southeast Asia for about 4 years and do a collab with him. Connections!! 🎉❤🎉❤

Vietnam (Danang) was my 1st choice, but I ended up in Panama which was my 2nd choice. Been here 3 years now, but I still plan on visiting Vietnam.

What you say about crossing the street in Vietnam is gospel. I stepped out with purpose in front of an approaching Mercedes car to cross a major and wide street in Ho Chi Minh City because I figured the driver didn’t want me splashed on his car. I was corrected and quickly continued weaving my way through all the motorcycles around that vehicle. And when I reached the other side of what was essentially four congested lanes of traffic in one direction, I felt like I needed a ‘gold’ metal. 😎
