I have to say his Vietnamese is amazing, sometimes 99%, sometimes 80%, but very cute and polite. I guarantee 100% Vietnamese people will like him. You won't know his accent 100% local accent, cute and I rate him very highly kkk amazing man
it's so cool that you can just stroll to the local market to grab a bite or grocery shopping. here in the states you have to drive to everything. hopefully, i can go back to see the motherland someday. peace from Cali!
Such a cool video. I have been making videos in Bali for the past two years and have only just begun to feel properly local in a few spots. Will be travelling to Vietnam in December and staying for three months. Thanks again.
Thank you. Enjoy. I'm almost 70, and I have never been married. Still happy. All the food looked great. Thank you for talking about not being able to speak and missing out. I'll keep studying.
G’day Travis & Loan, So happy it has worked out for both of you the big move. Back in 2011 when I first visited. Da Nang, my Vietnamese GF & I stayed near the soccer stadium for about a week & I absolutely loved it mingling with the locals. I remember walking through the market & all the Aunties coming up & touching me because Westerners wouldn’t venture in these areas of Da Nang. Plus my GF was showing me off. Da Nang best of both worlds, love what you ate. Take care you 2. Cheers Louis & Kellie from Melbourne, Australia 👍 🇦🇺
Bro, you’re knocking it out of the park with these vids. Your style and commentary is like I’m visiting some good buddy from high school or college who moved to Vietnam. Makes me wish I was there, for real.
Hey man really appreciate the comment. Glad you are enjoying the videos. I was little worried this simple style video would be boring for people but I'm very happy some people enjoy seeing my experience. Really motivates me to keep getting out to make new videos.
Loved your video today….the vibe is always kool and people seem to know you…it seems to be a nice neighborhood where you live. Have a good One in Danang….Matt from Canada 🍁
Cheers Matt I appreciate the comment. I've just moved here and the locals aren't used to seeing foreigners too much so everyone is friendly. All good so far
Glad I found your channel. I lived in Da Lat between the locals and loved it. Next Year I come to Da Nang for 2 or 3 months and will stay on your side and not between the tourist and expats. I love to find the best food and soup places.
In Vietnam, foreigners are warmly and massively encouraged by locals, even for making a tiny effort to learn the language. I rarely see it in other countries. Especially in English-speaking countries, speaking English is just a basic expectation.
Travis, what a great vlog, especially if you live in the country or you have desires to move here. Knowing the language speaks volumes. I’ve been to enough different countries to know if you can speak the lango, you are in. Happy for you bro. ❤ learning so much via you.
Great show buddy !! It takes guts to leave what is familiar to you and start over my congratulations on the journey I always wanted to live out west grew up in Maryland was a police officer for years and retired got remarried and my wife had the same dream so here I am in Wyoming … god bless
Great video mate. Refreshing to have informative videos without an annoying person that barely scratches the surface of the place They're in. Your channel will grow nicely 👌
Another great video my brother, I'll be coming to Vietnam next year with my best friend will message you on Facebook when and such soon. Ps your Vietnamese is getting better and better, you'll be fluent in no time
The auntie selling fish was ready "to pitch you" her daughter for marriage. Honestly it's amazing to be in local neighborhood because they always surprised to see you and want to chat... scarry if you dont speak anything but basic viet. There's also the after-hours karaoke sessions 😂
Very cool video. Your Vietnamese language skills are awesome and are going to improve exponentially living there I’d imagine. Fantastic experience for sure. Irish Rugby!
Really, the exact spot close to the market? Do you live around there? I havn't seen any foreigners since I've moved here. Sườn chua ngọt definitely the best thing there so far.
@@TravisTravelsVN : I live by the river on the beach side, but I try to visit the city side often enough to get that proper Da Nang feeling you describe so well. And if you wanna grab something to drink or eat sometime, just let me know. Always nice to meet other long-term westerners here who are interested in the Viet aspect of life. :) My Zalo/WA number is on my webpage on the "About" page, it's the one starting with +47. (Not writing the URL or number here, just in case.)
nice bro!! ive seen you walking around danang a couple times.. didnt know you were a youtuber until i started searching about vietnam and your videos came up lol
Do U go to Radio Dublin to get the vibe of Ireland sometimes 😅 I was in Da Nang early March this year when im back home for a holiday. Im thinking to moving there in the near future for long term 😊
I took lessons on and off for the first year or 2 I was here. Definitely intimidating to speak with locals. I always feel so embarrassed when I don't understand something but its very rewarding to have a decent conversation with people
Travis! You made me decide on Vietnam for the main destination of my SE Asia trip. The evisa website has been glitching for 3 days (unable to reach the payment portal for my processing fee). Do you know if US citizens coming from Thailand are able to obtain a VOA? Thanks.
Hi Jake, there is only VOA in very specific situations and it is very expensive. Send me an email and I can connect you with an agent who can process the visa for you in a few hours for a $50 express fee.
wow so your saying you can feed yourself for less the 5pounds a day . your apartment how did you find it and what kind of price did you pay, im looking to come da nang next feb.. where your staying is exactly where id like to live while there,
I've got some other videos on apartments and moving. I pay $470/mo for a 3 bedroom house now. There are facebook groups and local agents you can use. Stay in touch send me a message before you come out
@@TravisTravelsVN will do I'm looking forward to getting out the uk.. ive had enough if the politics here now.. its a shit hole.. so being first time traveler doing it stright of the cuff.. would you just book somewhere on what week basis then look for somewhere.. I'd like to go to My An it looks like home for me..any help be appreciated
Ya plenty of 1 bedroom apartments around. You should book a hotel for the first few days to give yourself some time to look at a couple options in person. Keep in touch and I'll help you plan whatever you need.
Travis I have recently applied for a Visa for Vietnam using your tutorial i have been denied due payment not excepted I have to try again can you please tell me what information i need to put in the payment processing page of the Visa what am I supposed to put in the Billing address section please please help it would be much appreciated i hope to be in Da Nang Vietnam on the 23 rd August 2024 cheers mate 🇦🇺
Make sure to use a credit card visa if possible. I think debit cards will not process. If you are still having trouble send me an email or message on FB. I have a visa agent who can process it for you.
@@TravisTravelsVN 😂😂 ở Việt Nam các dì các chị thường hay hỏi lấy chồng lấy vợ chưa nếu chưa để dì làm mai cho 🤭 tôi mệt mỏi với các dì vì họ đều mong con cháu kết hôn sớm hahaha 🥲🤣🤣
I will retire in vn with my gf/ future wife in Việt nam. That is the plan but I need to take her there 1st to see if she like it or not lol. Still have 25 years to save up lol
@TravisTravelsVN the reason because we can use our 401k as retirement income to live in Việt nam. Lol. If I win the lottery tomorrow. I will move my mom , gf and grandma back in viet nam next week 😂.
Dude! Your Vietnamese is so good. Well done.
I really enjoy your chill vibe. Please keep making more vids.

Wow, your tiếng việt is amazing. Tôi nói tiếng việt không tốt, vợ của tôi và tôi học, but not at your level. Well done.
36 is young ish. No rush but the one you have seems to be a keeper.

Good advice. Just immerse yourself and things will work out. If you don't speak the language, just try and the natives will love you for it.
Absolutely

Hey man.. you should run food tours.. all these hidden gems travellers won’t find. Be there in April
Ya not a bad idea. I definitely love showing people some good meals maybe they wouldn't have discovered.
Yes I keep telling him to run tours, he’s a natural!
He speaks Vietnamese quite well
He speaks dialect accent from the north
Yes I learned vietnamese in the North I'm adapting to the central accent

Welcome to Vietnam 🫰✌️😃🇻🇳
thanks for watching!
I just ate at that spot last week! Really good food, I should go back next week and try something new as well. :)

Ya man I used to be around An Thuong a lot, now across the bridges. If you see me around please say hi!

That sounds great. Everyone here is friendly no need to worry about sticking out. Send me a message if I can help you plan a trip
You should stream Danang and Hoian on twitch! First sub right here
Love the video I really want to come there now and check it out
Appreciate the comment bro thanks for watching!
Loved the video. I'd like to explore more of the city side, An Thuong can get a bit stale.
Thanks for the comment. I've just moved over this side so I'll try to do more videos exploring around here.
Do U go to Radio Dublin to get the vibe of Ireland sometimes
😅
I was in Da Nang early March this year when im back home for a holiday. Im thinking to moving there in the near future for long term 😊
I've heard of Radio Dublin but never been there. Good luck to you hope you can come back soon
Awesome video man.
Yo I appreciate that brother
I was there last year. shame the street sidewalks are so covered with trash
Can you make a video about raining season?
food looks good
Kudos for the accent in Viet though not easy. Could you share with us the area in which you are (closer to locals) ? Thx
This area is called Hai Chau, it is the city side of Da Nang across the bridges away from the Beach area
Good meal, good video!
Hey thanks for commenting buddy I appreciate you watching
The food does appear delicious!
Do you have a tutor for Vietnamese or did you learn another way? I know speaking it with locals is the best way to learn but for sure intimidating!
I took lessons on and off for the first year or 2 I was here. Definitely intimidating to speak with locals. I always feel so embarrassed when I don't understand something but its very rewarding to have a decent conversation with people

Is that good? Thanks very much I'm still not 100% confident
👍😎👍
Aunty wife shaming you. 😂
😍😍😍
What was that Vietnamese phrase you said to the ladies at the start of the video?
I think just "Chào Cô" it means hello Aunty. The locals usually giggle a little when they don't expect a foreigner to speak Vietnamese
❤❤

Thailand is 10 times better than Vietnam. Lots cleaner , better foods . Lots nice shopping center.
