- It took me several attempts to make this video since it's very hard to be vulnerable on the internet. In this video, I will give you my life updates about what happened, why I disappeared, what I've been doing, and what's next. Thank you so much for all the kind messages and for being so patient with me!
One of the goals that I set for this year is to connect with my audience on a deeper level (Without you, there will be no What The Pho).
Let's vote on a community platform where we can share ideas, have deep chats, and understand more about each other here: forms.gle/19ydNXDz3DxwmgGx7

Stick to who and what you are…..a very smart,articulate spiritually aware and so very beautiful!! The most important is you, family and friends, life is tough but you got this hands down!🙏🏽🌹😍
Thank you 🙏
Always remember to stop, step back and smile at the big picture every now and then.. 😊 Glad to see you back Van, have some fun, we support you.. ❤
I’m glad you are back. I have been living in Hanoi now for over one year and it was because of your videos that helped me make the move. You are truly inspirational. Good luck with your new outlook.
I always recommend your videos and channel to my friends who want to learn about Vietnam. Glad to see you back and be OK. Take care, Van!
Exactly just be you and have fun ❤
Dear Van,
I am from Germany. I have been following you for some time. I had already planned a trip to Vietnam in 2019, which could only take place in autumn 2022 because of Covid-19. I used the long waiting time to prepare for my trip with the help of your videos. You have sharpened my understanding of your great country, the culture, the people, the landscapes, the food. You enabled me to see my journey, which took me from Vietnam to Cambodia to New Zealand and Australia over several months, in a completely different light. Originally, Vietnam was just a sidekick to see beautiful landscapes. Your videos have opened my eyes and my mind. I probably would have missed a lot if your videos hadn't given me so much of Vietnam and the people there. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your videos. Despite all the professionalism and commitment with which you produce your videos, the charm and authenticity is never lost. And everyone can feel your love for this great country, its culture and its people. Thank you, and I hope that you will soon be well again and that there will be a continuation of your videos. Take your time for your recovery.
With kind regards
PS: You saved my life with one of your videos - I crossed the street in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City several times without being injured ;-)
This message brought me to tears! Thank you 😭
Nice to see you back! As a kid i actually hated being vietnamnese and Living in Denmark and got bullied a bit aswell for being different and blamed some of it om being vietnamnese. I started watching your videos and i started being more proud of it and seeing all the awesome culture there it! Still waiting now as 29 year Old to be able to effort going to Vietnam myself someday and experience the culture of my people , and alot of it is thanks to you
hahaha
I understand. I am Vietnamese too but born in Canada. I just made good friends who are also Vietnamese born in Canada to talk and share life experiences to fill the day. Now I don't worry about being treated differently because I can talk to my Vietnamese friends.
Your comment warms my heart! Thank you so much for reminding me of the reason why I started this channel
@@WhatThePholàm video lại đi chị... lâu quá rồi em ko thấy chị ra video...em xin chị à... come back đi chị 😢😢😢
I thought racism doesn't exist in Europe?? Isn't racism an American construct?
Welcome back! I completely understand the "burn out" part....I too have experienced this. Sometimes we simply need to stop, drop and recharge.... and who better to do this with than family. We hope to see more of you soon.... 😊
Your content is so wholesome and helpful. I'm very glad to hear your update and hope you're doing great! Welcome back!!
Welcome back!! It's so easy to get overwhelmed and caught up--good for you for recognizing that!!
It's very nice to see you back. I've only been a follower for about 2 years, but you gave me so much insight for my trip to Hanoi last year that a simple thanks doesn't even begin to cover it. I'm glad that you're doing well and can't wait to see what your plans are for the future. 😃
Thanks for coming back. Seeing your smiley makes a day, . Keep up the good work
So glad you're back, I enjoyed watching your videos and stumbled on them while getting ready for school. Kept returning since, happy you've returned
Ive watched a few of your video's and the thing that strikes me is how much you are enjoying yourself. Video's of you enjoying food, the sites and sounds of your travels and having fun, it makes me feel a bit happier about things when I see you happy.❤
It is lovely to see you back and feeling good ! I have always enjoyed your upbeat smiling style !! Take care lovely lady !!! ❤💯
No worries! Welcome back. We're here for you. Many of us enjoy learning about Vietnam culture and we appreciate the hard work you do to provide quality content. Stay safe, have fun, take as many breaks as needed, and best of luck!
I'm happy to see that you're back. Your videos helped me anticipate what to do in Hanoi and which food to try and which places to enjoy when I travelled alone for the first time. You helped make my visit a wonderful experience. Thank you!
You did a great job! Keep on doing what you love! Thank you for all of your efforts and wishing you the best Van!
Good to see you back. Watched a re-watched your videos many times, your genuinity and spontaneous smiles are a bless. I will finally visit Vietnam at the end of this year. Cant wait!!
Glad to see you back. Thanks for all the videos. We're going back to Hanoi in February 2024 to see our family.
I'm so glad you are in a good place. Missed your content and look forward to following your channel again.
I can imagine the pressure. I hope you enjoy both the journey, make milestones and hit destinations.

As a newcomer to Vietnam, I have enjoyed your videos and soon, i'll be enjoying my journey here too. So thanks again and cant wait to see whats in store for us followers!!

Finally. Glad to know you're back and all right. Some time ago i was searching in comment section of older videos to see if Van is ok.
Glad you’re feeling better. Wishing you more success and happiness on your continued journey; may the future videos bring joy and fulfillment into your life.
Welcome back Van! 😊
Good for you! Life's too short to let what you do overtake who you are. Happy to see you back. :)
Just yesterday I manually clicked on ur channel, I started watching you a few months ago and in the following weeks I'm going to study vietnamese/japanese philology, so I wanted to check if there was any new content uploaded about vietnam, now I see this update, glad to have u back.
Glad you are back. I was worried 😢. Glad you could find some peace. I’m looking forward to your new videos.
It’s great to have you back, I really appreciate your videos. Look after yourself, whatever you produce we will love.
I am glad you are back! the reason I like your channel is your authenticity! please continue with your journey and enjoy!
A creative break and taking time for yourself is healthy. Welcome back!
Welcome back! Have enjoyed your videos as i learned alot about Vietnam. In fact will be visiting Danang and Hoi An in Dec. Enjoy the journey and wish you blessings along the way 😊
You’re awesome! Keep doing what you’re doing. We love seeing you
It’s great to see you back again 👍. It’s the most important thing is your health. I am happy that you are healthy 😀. Thanks for all your videos and what you do for the community 🙏. I wish you a safe, great health, and a successful life going forward 😀.
I am glad that you're back and truly find the purpose of life. Enjoying the journey is what matters not the destination!
Great to see you back Van. You are so gorgeous and worthy of our support. Always take care of your health and look after inner self. Best wishes from Brisbane Australia
Just came over your channel and i think it was a smart choice to take a brake. As you said,when you start to forget the journey and enjoy yourself at work, soon or later it will go wrong. Good luck in the future🤗👍
Great to see you back, I look forward to seeing your videos. Take good care of yourself ❤
Glad to see you're still around. Looking forward to seeing your vid.
Glad you are back, your videos are from a very unique perspective, and extremely helpful. I'm Vietnamese and having my husband and kids watch your Culture series to prepare for a trip there later this year. Thank you for your content. Take care of yourself!
Thank you 🙏 I'm glad you and your family found it helpful
Always found your videos top tier, glad you are back
Glad to have you back, Pho. There are times when we need to put ourselves first, in order to keep on going with a smile on our face. One of the reasons that glued me to this channel was the authenticity, the smile, and the passion you put into every single video. Also those traits, characteristic of the Southeast Asian people, were the main reason that made me fall in love with the region and its culture. Keep that in mind, and remember that communication isn't only about how much information you can pick together (it has more to do with the way the message is taken across). Do not pressure yourself, and thank you for all your endeavour.
I really appreciate your kind encouragement! Thank you so much!
I have recently started trying to learn about Vietnam and I came across your videos. So, I am very happy you are back and look forward to your new videos. I love your personality that you put into your videos. Welcome Back! :)
it’s good to see you back here. Enjoy the presence, love what you are doing.
Hi Van, I haven't followed you for long, I have a plan to go and work in Vietnam, and your videos help me get an idea on certain points. I believe that all entrepreneurs who share their passion go through the burn out box, which is difficult to preserve, but I'm really happy to know that you're doing well and continuing to move forward!
I'm glad to see you coming back. Your videos are helpful for me and my friends, we have been learning English and Vietnamese culture through your sharing. Hoping you a good health and be happy on your journey.
Welcome back Van! Best of wish on your return .
Thank You very much Van , You are Truly a very Special Person 😊❤🙏
Stay cool Van and enjoy your live more than before, we doesn't matter to be entertained but you should stay healthy! Nice to see you 😊
LG from Austria!
I just found your channel and glad that you took some time to reset and find what is important for you. You'll be successful in anything you put your time towards I'm sure! Thanks for teaching us about Vietnam.
Whatever you decide as long as you are ok that is all that matters. Best of luck.
Glad to see you back! Thank you for your previous videos: they came in very handy on my recent and first ever trip to Vietnam. Burn out is no joke: please look after yourself. I always think of content like yours as a privilege, not a right. Please look after yourself first, and the rest will follow.
Glad your back, love your videos. Always take time to relax and recharge. Mental and physical health are very important.
Mental health is super important. Glad that you have shift the focus and is able to managing your energy well.
Thank you for your unique and valuable contributions. I hope you'll play the long game with your projects and work.
Take care, young lady! Wish you will have a strongly come back and enjoy your coming journeys!
I will take my family to HCM & Hanoi (from Osaka, Japan) for the first time next month. Thank you for your wonderful videos. We've been watching non-stop for the last couple of weeks and you have been very helpful to us. Great message about mental health too. We are glad you are back. :)
Thanks for sharing it, good to see you are back! Just simply do what you love to do in a natural way, that's what we like to see!
Thank you Luca! I really appreciate it 🤗
Good to see you again, you have a beautiful soul. Awesome to see your return
I am happy you are doing well and that you are back. I am returning to Vietnam in the spring. And I learned allot from your Chanel. Thank you. I hope to see you in Ho Chi Min city.
Happy to see you again, Co Van. Looking forward to seeing your next video. I'm glad you took the time for some self-care to get centered again.
Well I am glad you are OK and welcome back. We have missed your amazing content. You never know may run into you when we come back to amazing Vietnam in December.
Got so happy just seeing you again. Glad you are taking care of yourself.
Nice to have you back again, Van !
Good to go into retreat to recuperate. Take good care.🥰
Hi Van,
I'm from Vietnam and I’m also your loyal fan. I've watched every video that you uploaded. They are so useful and inspired me
I’m so happy to see you back. I hope you enjoy your journey and make great videos.
Glad to see you back and be OK. Take care, Van. Always take care of your health and look after inner self.
“There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light get in” You sound like finally find out the big answer of your life, love all the honest things you talked in this video, love the way you truthly are! Keep enjoying life just like how you do, you’re the best at it!
It is so great to hear from you again.
I praise your courage to express openly about yourself.
That human and kind spirit that you demonstrated that you have will be a stone and hallmark trait of who you are… a very kind talented woman.
God bless you abundantly !
👍🙏🏻 🌹 ❤.
Good to see you back, all the best the journey ahead
You're back, that's wonderful news! I look forward to more videos, I plan to visit Vietnam and especially Da Lat sometime in the near future. From Vermont U.S.A.
Thankyou! Ive wondered where you have been. Appreciate the videos of VN!
Welcome back! Yeah definitely true, you need to enjoy the journey and the outcome will follow....sometimes you need a break to catch a breather mentally and come back stronger 💪💪💪
So glad to see you back, and that you took time to take a step back to recharge and remember what you enjoy and motivates you.
Glad to see you back. Your channel is one of the reasons my wife and I are traveling for the first time to Vietnam. We love traveling and can’t wait to experience the beautiful sights you talk about on your channel. We will be in Vietnam at the end of September and are bringing two other couples to join us. Looking at your channel inspired us to visit Ho Chi Minh, Da Nang and Hanoi, ending with a cruise at Ha Long Bay.
Thank you for being an inspiration. Keep up the great work.
Oh yes! Visiting Ha Long Bay soon
Hi! Van. So so happy to see you back again. Hope you had a good break. Miss you vlog! Take it easy and enjoy what you are doing. Life is a journey. Stay safe and take care ❤️
Welcome back! Health and happiness and harmony are so important and may you enjoy all three as you return to creating and presenting such entertaining and informative content on your channel :)
So happy to see you back Vân. Let provide us more and more videos. Thank you Vân.👍
First and foremost, so glad that you took the time you needed to rest, recover, and re-evaluate. We all need it, but rarely do we actually do what is necessary to keep us on an even path. Hope you are doing well, and it is so good to see you back on YT. Looking forward to more great content from you!
This is only the third video I am watching of you and I have learned a lot about vietnam already because I haven’t ran into much Vietnam CZcamsrs so I appreciate the content u put out 😊
I just started watching your videos so I was unaware that you were gone. Welcome back. You put out a good video and I enjoy watching them. But you’re right, you have to enjoy producing them or it becomes a burden. I’m glad you’re back. 👍
I was really sad to realize I haven't seen any of your videos in a in quite a while. I thought I might've accidentally unsubscribed but was somewhat relieved when I found that I hadn't. After a rabbit hole of googling I happened upon a post you made mentioning burnout and and totally understood.
I'm so glad you're back and hope you've found a better work life balance for yourself. I absolutely love your content but I would never want you to sacrifice yourself for even one more video. Please take all the time you need
I just found your channel, I'm glad you took the first time for self awareness. I'm subscribing.
I'm a Viet from Melbourne Australia and your content helped my recent trip in Vietnam! Keep it up. Love your videos :)
Glad you are back. Premiers are a good way to connect as well, but maybe not so late. 9-10 Australian time is good. Take it easy and remember it is the journey that matters...
Missed ya girl. Welcome back. Thanks for the video.
I’m just starting too and already burning out. Thank you for sharing your authentic experience
I have been waiting ages for you, it's nice when you're back, always supporting you!❤
Happy to see you come back to enjoy Vietnam life ! Your smile is a good energy for us : your are happy so we are happy 😊. Your country is fantastic and marvelous ❤
Welcome back, Love your content.
I am so happy to see you decided to continue your videos. I only just found your channel two months ago when I was looking for a different channel (did not find it). My girlfriend is Vietnamese and I am investing time in learning about the culture, food, people, and Vietnam. She is going to be teaching me Vietnamese, which will be interesting for me to learn.
Glad you're back! always take care of yourself and thank you for all your vids
