  • Why did Kavi Vu sell her car, and everything else and decide to move to Vietnam? She was tired of the rat race. In this video I talk to her about her journey and what she likes and dislikes about living in Vietnam.

I have been to Saigon HCMC and Phan Thiet two times this year for a total of 4 weeks. I have thought about moving to Vietnam and I always wondered what it would feel like living in Vietnam while working remotely at my San Francisco based position in the US. Now, I know. I can validate every word that Kavi is saying about the US. Thanks for sharing your first hand experience Kavi. Much appreciated.

    Just FYI, they all make money in the US and live in the SEA. It is rare that someone just move to VN or another country and speak highly about working and living there unless you have your open your own business in VN and even as that, there are some issue even for the local. It's better to have option, get a good income and asset in the US and then live in VN. In case if it doesn't work out, you have option to come back. US has it issue, VN also has it issue. I wouldn't put everything in single basket.

    I doubt Vietnamese guys would date her because they usually would go for younger girls.
    She wouldn’t date local Vn guys because she sees them as old fashioned and she is westernized (whatever that means).
    As for foreigners there are plenty of Vn local beauties with a true Asian charm so I doubt any of these guys would choose this girl over a local Vn beauty.
    Hmmm she is making very good money (4K USD) per month which is extremely high for Vietnam. What she says Vietnamese enjoy life hmmm I think she hasn’t met local people because they all worry about money and making ends meet. Life in Vietnam for locals is not easy. Vietnam although “socialist” on paper has a brutal form of capitalism and it’s a dog eats dog kind of place. Add to that the lack of transparency in the government and legal sectors and …. It is not an easy county to live in. I was talking to real Vietnamese in Saigon and they are all confused why me as a westerner like Vietnam so much. These real Vietnamese told me these words: we don’t understand why you westerners love Vietnam so much and many of you want to live here; we Vietnamese want to move out of Vietnam and migrate to a western country.

Also, if thinking of a move like this, it's best to go there for a longer period of time (a month or longer) so that you know more than the average tourist. You'll also need a job/ income to survive. Some ppl try it for a time, but eventually returned to the US (or Canada, etc).

But if they're young, it's hard to make money (or other stuff like healthcare, conveniences, etc) in the East - whether that's VN, PH, Indo, Cambo, etc. Still, if they're in their 20s or 30s & want to experience the motherland, then good luck & good health to them!

      In my experience as an American having lived in Vietnam in Saigon for 8 years. It’s ’’chill’ here doesn’t only refer to the economic factors. Yes, money is important. I found and still find most Vietnamese people to be extraordinarily focused on the present moment in most situations. Couple this with that sense of community mentioned above and it does create a vibe that’s quite different from the west.
      After having some time away I’ve decided I can’t live without it. I love Vietnam, I’ve never felt more at home anywhere in my entire life. Life in Vietnam for me is durable fulfillment. Good days and bad days but on the whole life is enjoyable.

    I agreed with many thing that she said. Where I live, a bowl of pho noodle cost $17, tax is near 10%, tip is 20% - $22 per bowl of pho. In Vietnam, Ha Noi old town is near $3 (7x+ difference). 1 bed room rental is $2500 vs Da Nang at $600 (4x+). Not to mention medical cost comparison...
    However, the air quality in Vietnam is terrible. AQI in Hanoi and HCM is mostly red and purple levels. Food safety is also a concern and the need to adapt to city noise pollution. So base on individual preferences, compare the pros and cons...
    For me, I intend to stay in Vietnam 6 months or less per year (non rainy/typhoon season) - mainly in beach towns like Da Nang, Nha Trang, Qui Nhon, Vung Tau, Phan Thiet, Phu Quoc and spend sometime travelling to neighbor countries and other cities in Vietnam...The other 6 months, plan to stay back in the U.S.

      ​@@ClassyJohn if you're ethnically Chinese, you can pass as a local in some SE Asian countries (or maybe they'll say you're Chinese, Japanese or Korean).
      Some locals have bad vibes against Chinese mainlanders (because of geopolitics) but it depends on the country - whether that country has good/bad relations with China. But I think if you speak English with a western accent, then I think their bias will be removed. You won't be subjected to Asian hate crimes, that's for sure.
      However, be careful with your valuables (wallet, phone, etc). Some places/ cities are safer than others. Also, in Asia it's OK to carry a man-bag or crossbody bag. (I think that's not done in the west?) Keep the bag in front.
      Btw if you intend to live in VN, maybe improve on your Vietnamese. That way, you won't get the higher "tourist price". Even if you look local but don't speak the language, some vendors will try to mark up their prices. Good luck!

I'm a virgin who has not really dated. I consider myself a loser by asian american standards, let alone american standards. In visiting Vietnam a few times, I consider it to be a very romantic country, just based on the things I've seen. I've been considering becoming an expat because I feel like I don't know who I am and I feel like I don't belong here. Maybe living in Japan or Vietnam might changed that view. I can't really do WFH with my job so thats a whole other issue. But its so hard to know who you are if you don't do something to change either your environment or how you live your life.

Local companies won't usually hire foreigners (bcos foreigners would expect higher pay). You can start a business but you'll have to deal with red tape. So it's best to have a source of income from the West (like the interviewee). Also, be aware of the visa policies - will depend on rules of host country & your passport/ nationality.

    great interview. life with 1500 usd would also be relaxed I guess. you at least would stay in that 30% income for rent range while still living in a quite luxury apartement. Am I wrong? I thought about reaching 1500.- passive income to slowly start my potential emigration to vietnam. I am far away from retirement, but once I do i d still get the minimum rent on top of that 1500.-. Potentially reaching all together around 4-5k but in 30 or so years when that money is also half as valuable lol. but still. I guess my plan might work out more or less. I can still work for plenty of years but do something I like rather then do something I need to survive. cant be bothered to work 2-3 nights in a bar to have some play money while still staying focused on saving my passive income. I know lots of questions and thoughts. but the question is mainly, is a confortable life with 1500.- possible in Vietnam? thank you

    It's interesting to hear about male Westerners come to Vietnam to find a submissive Vietnamese girl. Also, I think she's bang on the fact that many Vietnamese people fancy English speakers, those with strong passports... That reflects the White dominant culture that not only affects the West but is also spread far to Vietnam.

      These s.e.a countries have been brainwashed in to thinking that their white knight have to be white. It's unfortunate that they worship these white English speakers.
