I'm launching UA-cam Memberships very soon where I will be sharing exclusive BTS photos/videos, bonus questions from interviews, early access to new videos, etc... If there are other memebership perks I should include, let me know! :)
I am an American expat living here in Phu Huu, Vietnam for 2 years. My Wife is Vietnamese and an American citizen. We own a new home in Park Riverside and an Apartment. I love living in Vietnam. So safe here. Most of the Vietnamese are friendly. I am learning Vietnamese and love Vietnamese food and Vietnamese coffee. We mostly take a taxi to go place’s because the traffic is crazy in Saigon. I am retired from ExxonMobil and my Wife is retired as well. Life is very simple here. Many Vietnamese,especially younger ones who want to show off their English or learn more English from talking with me. It’s fun. Always meeting different people. Sure I miss America at times. I am from New Jersey but Vietnam is where I like to live.
Wow amazing, Rick! What was your decision on retiring in Vietnam?
@@skyetran
My Wife wanted to be close to her Daughter and her 2 small grandchildren. So we decided to move to Vietnam. I had been to Vietnam several times and just fell in love with the Country. My Wife and I have been married 8 years in America. Upon my retirement and hers ,we just thought it better financially to live in Vietnam. So many taxes in America. We sold our home and most of what we owned , my Wife sold her Lexus is300. We moved to Vietnam and doing well and also collect Social Security for the both of us. We feel we made to right decision.
@@rickdavis2710 Wow that's amazing! I'd love to interview you & your wife (if she's also interested) about retiring in Vietnam...If you can DM me on Instagram @theskyetran...or if there's social media or another way to contact...let me know!
Interesting how things have changed and that people can now find HCM easy to settle into, it was a big challenge for me adjusting to the environment and culture and took me at least a year to get a handle on what was going on 😅
hahaha yes it's ALOT being thrown at you in the beginning
In the US particularly in Orange County, most of Asian stores close early at night, usually at 20:30.
My dream would be to move to Vietnam, this video is a perfect example why I’m drawn to the country and the people and lifestyle. Learning the culture and language is a good project for me to dive into at my stage of my life, I always need to have the feeling that I’m learning and each day is a new adventure. Eventually I might meet someone special and share our futures together in Vietnam. ❤️😊🙏
I would join your membership option once you start it. I like your content and I can see it would bring me value in so many ways, to learn more about the Vietnamese culture and different ways to stay connected to the people.
Aww thank you for your support!! I appreciate you...memberships coming soon! :)
@@skyetran 45 days I’ll be in the Philippines for 1 month, once back to the USA I’ll plan my trip to Vietnam looking for the better weather patterns to enjoy my time there. I’ll keep in touch
I love your contents Skye, keep making more! It's nice to be in one of your videos.
Wonderful meeting & having you!!!
Interesting to watch the videos while here in HCMC now. I don’t see as many foreigners as I would have expected.
I just arrived back here on Friday... aside from the plane flu I am currently recovering from, I love it here.. have been coming for the last 8yrs and now plan to stay here...
Welcome! where were you based before coming here?
ngl, the “convinience” aspect surprised me, cause I would have thought that it would be very similar other cities if you had a motorcycle. (exclude mega cities like Tokyo and New York maybe)
Wow this was so good, to see people from varied cultures, i want to come and see this city now....Thank you Skye.
Hi Justin, happy to hear!! Where are you from?
@@skyetran Australian born but living in Cebu, i had a resort here...ive been to HoiAn/Hanoi and love the feel, of Vietnam
@@justingriffin2546wow what’s it like in Cebu?
@@skyetran i'm not in city, i don't like traffic...im near the beach, theres a reef here, I have to start a manufacturing company so will be leaving....Chenzen is the place...HoChiMinh is only a few hours flight so may be perfect..I invented a new AC, it uses maybe 15% of the power of current AC....so I'm excited to make it public...I'm talking to investors right now...
factories cost lots of money...
The Scottish girl. The accent is cute AF...
Image visiting Vietnam and run into a local speaking English with a Scottish accent...
Never say never…there’s a chance
@@skyetran Oh, I just thought it would be really funny. You don't typically expect a Scottish accent in Asia. I like to see the face of an American visiting Vietnam and talking to a local speaking English with a Scottish accent.
I love your videos! Keep up the excellent interviewing! Maybe we can meet some time for coffee. I am here with my Vietnamese wife and (dual citizen / USA) son in a tiny town in Can Tho Province, and I love it here!
Steve & Minh & Sam
Hello Steve, thanks so much for the encouragement! What’s it like living in a tiny town in the Can Tho Province? Please tell your family I said hi!
@@skyetran Ideal! Other than can't get butter here; no problem - just have to Rach Gia or Long Xuyen!
Fact : Convinience Stores in Saigon open 24/7 a day
Great content
Thank you, appreciate it 🤗
If you want to retirement in Vietnam. You need to travel to these city: Saigon, Da Lat, Da Nang(most come), Ha Noi, Ha Long...
Which would be your favorite choice & why?
@skyetran Da Nang City. It has beautiful city, beach, mountain and people are very nice, friendly. Food is awsome and cheap. It's like "Little Miami".
@@-UnknownX- I need to visit there
What about foreigner families? I am french married with a Vietnamese (we met in Japan), we currently live in France but consider relocate to Vietnam, it'd interesting to have some feedback from some parents raising kids in VN
Hello, I have a video about a Viet Kieu mom from Denmark who moved her family to family to raise her kids…please have a watch! :)

Honeymoon period. It fades. 20 years of living, working and traveling in Vietnam. This is like interviewing people two months after they got married and using their opinions as a valid experience of marriage. Did the Vietnamese take you to a restaurant that serves dog? Interview people who have at least five stamps in their passport.
Don’t like a place just leave weird how people complain and don’t do nothing about it.
@@amt7877 spoken like a true tourist. I leave all the time, Vietnam is terrible for full time living, great for a few months a year. None of these people will be in Vietnam in a year or two.
skye...eat some more...your boney
💀
