It is truly gratifying to hear both of you open up about your journeys of awakening to the hard realities of Canada and the West in general. You demonstrate the importance of doing the right thing: leaving as far away as possible, as soon as possible, and never looking back.
Thank you for that message🙏 That was a big contributor to us deciding to start a UA-cam channel to document our journey. Because we know there are sooo many others out there just like us, stuck in the downhill spiral of Canada and we wanted to show others that it is possible to come from struggling to get by in Canada to perusing a better life far far away, and the best way to show them is to Actually go and do it!
Good for you both. I moved here from Canada almost 5 years ago. Agree with everything you're saying. $6/month for mobile, Canada it was $120. Great place for guys here too. Girls here really like men, especially foreigners. They smile and give you the time of day. Opposite of Canada. PPl here have a great mindset, very gentle. Driving you'll get used to it. Takes time to understand how it works here, best thing you can do is stay calm. I'm in Saigon. Enjoy Vietnam!!!
Yes! The phone costs are SO MUCH better here. When we went to the phone company for our first time we couldn't believe it when she showed us the package list. I think we paid about $7.00/person compared to $100-130 each back home. We noticed that too! Alot more people are friendly to us here as compared to in Bali. Sometimes local even make an effort to come and talk to us and generally greet us with a smile. We love it here so far! Thanks for the comment!
Vietnamese American here visiting Vancouver couple months ago, I totally agree with you guys things are more expensive in Canada now that it's depressing. I appreciate you for loving Vietnam. Please be generous with local Vietnamese they are working for a living too. So many times I have seen westerners that are very stingy with the lower prices in Vietnam . Learning some Vietnamese phrases will make local people love you more. Love to see you have fun in Vietnam. And trying local foods.
Thanks for the comment! You would have gotten to see some of the worst of Canada by visiting Vancouver. It is absolutely CRAZY over there! We are both loving it here, it's one of our most favourite places we've ever visited! :) My Vietnamese however is a work in progress 😂 but still trying!
@@expatescapeofficial it's cool to hear you say " Cam on " in Vietnamese. I can understand you. I haven't been back to Nam over 10 years. See alot of changes through your video's. Thanks for loving life and Vietnam.
No please do not bring the US tipping culture here. It’ll drive up inflation n eventually hurt the workers too. Also i think it will worsen the Service in the long run. I tipped 18%-20% the last time I visited the US, but those were the worst services I received in my life. By Far.
The situation you describe in canada is more or less the same as it currently is in England, just with higher costs and more cold rain. Thank you for your honest take on that. I'm already committed to moving here but wife wants to test the waters first so we are coming in october next year for a month. if we enjoy it then everything will be sold and we will be moving. I like your videos and have subscribed and wish you both all the best in your new life!
William is a very handsome man! You have the right attitude. As a fellow Canadian who spent years as an expat, I want to share that you are on the right track. Travel is the best gift you can give each other. Canada could be better, but it did give you a foundation. Every country is struggling. The rich will get richer regardless of who is running the country. Our choices of leadership could be better. Don't let yourself get tribal. Cynicism is like an infection, so don't let it spread. Take care of your physical and mental health. The way to win a fight overseas is to avoid getting in one. Please don't take unnecessary risks. That includes your fellow expats. I am sure you have run across a few characters. If your spyder senses are tingling, trust them. Predators running from their past lives are looking for their next victim. Be cautious. Finally, it is ok to have a bad day. Be gentle with yourself. I am rooting for you. Enjoy the adventure and cherish each other. I want to share a clip from Conan Obrien that you might find applicable. ua-cam.com/video/AcF1OoWqXBc/v-deo.html
I left 3 years ago, and wont return. I moved to Paraguay. Great little country thats not very well known. Bought 4 lots and currently building a house. Something that was not achievable in canada for me.
And you guys have a halfway functioning government which at least tries to limit migration. In germany these traitors import the worst of the worst in a mass scale you can't even imagine. They need to dance in the air.
soon we will able to fly from Vancouver to Danang at a very affordable ticket price...i just checked yesterday one way ticket from YVR to DAD is under 600CAD for April with HONGKONG AIES
I have been thinking about moving for a while now, and i guess the major thing that is holding me back is income. Wether its Vietnam or any other place, there is always this doubt about not being able too pay your bills and get around.
Absolutely, Thats the priority. But if definitely helps if you commit to it entirely and sell literally everything. Then your bills become very very little. Basically just your travel/medical insurance, and your travel costs to leave. Everything else like cell phone plans, rent, groceries are all very affordable once you're in country. Living for 1000-1500/month for 1 person is definitely doable here, maybe even cheaper if you have a spouse to split the rent and scooter rental with. It's a very stressful leap to take, but it could be the best one you ever made. It surely was for us.
If you love drinking a lot of coffee then Vietnam is your good choice. Vietnam has plenty of coffee at dirt cheap prices because it is one of the top coffee producers in the world.
We are feeling the same way. Canada quite literally ran us into the ground to the point, if we stayed another year or two we would likely be stuck there. Leaving was the best decision we ever made
@shazzzam79 Same here my friend!! I served in the forces for a bit, got injured etc.. But now I'm glad I'm out because I could not, and would not fight and take orders from the corrupt leaders who are against everything I stand for
@@expatescapeofficial I was injured as well and had to go to another country where I could get the proper healthcare. Not just take doctor prescribed heroin and antidepressants. They kicked me out cause I refused their medicine. I fixed my back with physiotherapy, exercise and massage therapy. No help from them whatsoever. I've talked many people out of joining the Canadian military.
Thats the Canadian health care system for you. Wait a year or more to have an appointment, and when that day finally comes they just write you a prescription for another drug to counter act the last drug they prescribed. These days we look towards traditional Chinese medicine over western medicine every time. They actually look for the root of peoples problems and the try to fix them as opposed too pushing big Pharma down your throat for a bigger pay check when all they're doing is putting a temporary bandaid over the problem rather then trying to fix the cause of it. And getting Who knows how many people unintentionally hooked on their pills in the process. I can't blame you there, if anyone asked my honest opinion about signing the line Nowa days, I would have to steer them away from it. I have nothing but respect for all my brothers and sisters still serving, they are just following orders and doing their jobs. It's the orders coming down from the corrupt at the top thats the problem.
as an American I find it sad what is happening to not only My country but Canada as well. I Personally am glad trump is back in office and I believe Trudeau needs to be removed from office as well.. . Great down to earth video.. Let’s make Canada Great again!!!❤️
We agree completely, Trudeau GOT TO GO! and we're happy Trump got back in as well, he will straighten out the mess that the last 4 years of Biden has caused. Maybe when he's done fixing America you guys can loan him to us for a little while?😂
No one tells you how much bankroll you need. If I have 500k, it would last say 10yrs then what be a bum ? You need work to work or be occupied. I was in VN for 2 months and I did was party and ate but then what so I came back to Canada. Also no-one tells how hottttt it is and how corrupt VN is everything is a bribery. Anyhow think before you do anything .
I'm a prep/planner by nature so we did plenty of research before coming down here. We also checked into things like the corruption and the yearly/seasonal weather forecasts prior to coming.(We love the heat, hotter the better for us haha) and we love it down here! Like anywhere, Vietnam is not going to be for everyone, but for us it's near perfect
Vietnam is a communist country but it doesn't look as communist as Cuba just by the look of Da Nang, not sure how communism works there. Doesn't look like locals have food coupons and rations for it.
@@TheRebornofSocialVietSub It has nothing to do with it I never watched it. On youtube you see people have coupons and a booklet for food rations in Cuba. In Vietnam I've not seen it so far. Do you understand?
That's not good👎 A lot of countries are in need an escape now sadly. So many places around the world are gone to sh*t and people are fleeing while they still can
10:40 Avatar hotel lounge, you guys sitting right at the couch that my wife and I were there last month. Good luck guys!

@@expatescapeofficial Phone bill in Canada is $100 because you're getting f*cked over by little hat people who own Bell and Rogers.
0:16 Thats the Louis H lafontaine tunnel !!! i guess you guys are from montreal ?
You know the place!? We're not from there but we had to pass through it when we were traveling across the country. It's a pretty cool tunnel!

Hope you can visit Da Lat city in Central high land of Vietnam where the weather is cooler 69F all year round. There are coffee plantations there .
Thank you for the recommendation! We will have to look into that, before we leave Vietnam!
Its not just govt and taxes, don't discount corporate oligopoly greed and billionaire wealth hoarding.
Whoa the cabin redo is so awesome!
Thank you! It was a lot of blood, sweat and hard work!
Since Trudeau. Canada has gone to sh*t.
@@testing3166 Absolutely!
By far the Worst I've ever seen our country
@@fredtover2858 never voted for him
I feel your pain. Denmark is moving in the same direction. If I didn’t have my mother to take care of. I would also pull up my family and escape.

Thats a REALLY GOOD PRICE, WOW!!! We had a decent price at just over 1000 each, but 600 is Excellent!
Great political points, the same is true of the US
Basically all 'western' countries. We're getting robbed in every aspect.
Love this!! And William. Tell him Auntie T misses him. 🥰❤
I'm sure he misses you and his snotdot too! haha
Glad it is working well for you both but miss you so much.❤
Whites fleeing Canada for Asia -- something I would never thought I would see during my lifetime. Haha.
Us neither! Never in my life I thought it would come to this, but here we are. We are trying our best to make the best of it

Canada is beautiful but is mismanaged. I love Canada and it's people.

Permission to leave sound very communist party same as vcp here but not for normal citizen 😅
