I'm John a DEBT FREE Millennial, an expat in China, an educator, an entreprenuer and investor. I’ve been living and working in China for over 13 years. I’m working on reaching financial freedom so I can retire early abroad.
Here on UA-cam I talk about international living. I hope I can help you reach a better understanding of what it's like to live abroad so you can decide if living abroad is for you.
This channel takes you through my journey of living abroad as well as how I invest in order to reach financial freedom so I can retire aborad. I share all of this in hopes that it helps you in some way.

I have lived in Henan for 8 years, love it.
That's where I'm going!
@@viewpointabroadzhengzhou where Shaolin temple is?!
@@peanut0brain Dengfeng is where shaolin temple is but Zhengzhou has changed A LOT since i have been here. It's really nice!
@PaggosBlitz I’m not going to either of those but close
Not Zhengzhou
Central China, that'll be different! Onward and upward big dog😊
Looking forward to the change
Congratulations! Hope you like the new school and the area.😊
Thanks 🙏
I hope the best for you
So exciting! Good luck on the new gig and I can’t wait to see it and your new place too!
Good luck to you, John! Hello from NYC
That DJI mic seems legit. Thanks man
Yeah. I’m happy with it.
Good and informative as always!
So true about this. I'm in Beijing right now visiting my wife family for 3 months and it's crazy how many jobs I been offered here and I'm not even looking. I hope everything works out for you Dude.
Thanks man. I think it will, I feel pretty good about the new job but I won’t truly know until I get there.
IN VIETNAM, DARK-SKIN IS A SYMBOL OF BEING A ‘FARM’ WORKER WHICH IS LOOKED DOWN UPON. IN VIETNAM, LIGHT-SKIN IS A SYMBOL OF ‘UPPER-CLASS’ (NOT MANUAL LABOR).😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
same here in China also
Subscribed! Nice to see some positive info in China. I'm leaving my job in football at the end of this month as head of video. Ive been looking for media jobs but ive not really got many offers? In Chong Qing, I found a few jobs for foreigners but they didnt hire me in the end even though I visited to find out more. My wife is British Naturalise Chinese.
Any advice? Should I come to China to find work or continue applying? I have a tourist visa for now but eager to find more opportunities. I dont want to teach unless lecturing in university if poss and for media not english.
Any advice would be great, would love to film travel and food around China as my dream job!
You’ll have better luck with your feet on the ground in China. Most want to hire people who are here.
I’m not suggesting to work on a tourist visa , but nothing long with looking while on it. You can go back and re enter on your new visa after you find a job.
Do you use agents? Are they worth it? I’m young and all this stuff might be easier if an agent handles it, but they take some of your salary right?
Agents don't take part of your salary, that was the old way from like 12-15 years ago. that's no longer in practice. Now the school will pay the agent a 1x payment equivalent to the teacher salary.
Can you please make a video describing what makes a good teacher?
Sure 👍. Good idea. Maybe I can talk about that soon.
@@viewpointabroad Dude, awesome videos. Very informative. It would be cool if you had a website where we could book a consultation with you. So you can hear whether we have the English ability to teach or not.
@dannybee6677 maybe in the future I’ll have a website and also offer some free services. Too busy now to sort it out with my job and these 2 businesses I’m going.
Please make more videos on teaching . Brown dude born and raised in the UK . Looking for teaching opportunities in China.
What sort of schools would you advise ,city and benefits package ?
Thanks. I’ll make more vids related to teaching very soon.
@viewpointabroad i love your content and subscribed after watching my first video. Please make more content . Nearly completed my tefl 120 hours. I have been offered jobs in china . But some recruiters do ask for my picture. Wonder why lol
Can your current employer make it difficult to change jobs if they want?
Nah, they've already gave me my exit paperwork. Just got to finish up these last 30 days.
Hope the move goes smoothly. Another 10+ years in a new location in china? :)
Hahahah I don’t know about that
How would a foreigner search for jobs? Are there any English websites/apps that foreigners can use to search?
Yeah. Lots of sites but most just get into job groups on wechat
@@viewpointabroad Hi John! I am a fresh graduate in Mechanical Engineering from France and looking for a job. Wondering how to find WeChat groups?
@@thomaslecloirec7973 if you’re not in any , find some facebook groups. The agents there will invite you to some wechat groups.
Hai John.I like your content. Can you share recruiters for teaching in China please I'm from South Afriica.I 've teaching license PGCE.I'll appreciate.
Sure. I’ll make a video about how and where to find some recruiters.
Don't leave me😢
sorry bro! see you next year maybe
What is the average salary in China?
for an English teacher it's usually between 20,000-33,000rmb there are outliers though in both directions
Do you have information about salaries in the finance field?
@@muhammetalisahutogullar7527 nah, Most of the people I know are business owners or educators
These days? The market is awful, 15-25,000 yuan. A lot of jobs went with the double reduction policy.
I’m a young (21) native speaker from a native speaking country (Australia). I’m half white and half Latino but my skin is brown. Do you have a general idea of what the opportunities are with this?
It's not difficult to get job as a native a speaker, but having darker skin can often give you a smaller number of opportunities .
@@viewpointabroad do you need a degree? I’m able to get a z visa on the points system with a vocational certificate, and I asked recruiters of schools and they said yea that’s an option and it’s fine
Congratulations
Thanks 🙏
You mentioned about being a white dude there’s limitless opportunities in China, I’m assuming they like to have diversities in their company? What about being Asian Americans? What types of jobs that are usually looking for foreigners other than the education field?
@@tonyhaoo8146 for other field being white isn’t really mandatory. I have several friends who are black / Asian working as actors in the film and tv industry and I have some friends also working in some big companies doing various things such as H. R. ,copywriters, internal communications ( newsletters and memos ) social media specialist for Chinese companies that handle their foreign accounts on X and tik tok. It really depends on your skills. I know a couple Asian Americans also working in education ( but it’s a bit harder to earn a typical foreign salary as they generally look for white people ) education is the easiest way to get your foot in the door though and then seek other opportunities after you get in.
@@viewpointabroad Hey I appreciate you taking out the time of your day to give me such detailed answer to my previous comment. Best of luck to you!
@@tonyhaoo8146 no problem. Hope it’s useful information.
Hi John, just curious what camera are you using? Chinese one? Thinking of buying one here in Fuzhou soon, thanks man, peace.
I’m using a DJI camera 🎥
@@viewpointabroad thanks there is a shop here in Fuzhou, will get one, peace man.
@@biglance no idea , I’ve never been to Fuzhou. Check Baidu map maybe … or dji website. I got mine in foshan
@@viewpointabroad Thanks John, keep up the vids! peace.
I am curious about what other jobs are available outside of teaching english?
Depends on your skills and your degree. The job I’m taking is not teaching English but still in education industry
Congrats on the new job. What websites did you use to look for jobs?
I don’t use websites for that. I find jobs through headhunters here in China.
@@viewpointabroad That's cool. Which ones have you had the most success with?
@@samuel-louisbandy2542 lots of them in wechat groups
Is it hard to learn mandarin in guangdong?
No , I don’t think so. I learned it without any problems. I never studied either. Just learned from years of communication. So , I do have a Guangdong accent. When I travel to other places in China people always know I came from Guangdong 😭
I faced an interview for teaching English at a university. Being a South Asian... My misfortune
Yeah. No matter how qualified you are if you’re lacking the white face. More trines than not , they’ll choose a lesser or under qualified white non native over even a native English speaker with an Asian face. 😭
Bro, your video has been moved to a Chinese website and there are many comments. Perhaps you can create an account in China?
Where is it , bili bili ?
@@viewpointabroad Yes, but it seems that UA-cam cannot directly publish website addresses
The title of the video is:美国人在中国14年遭遇过的种族歧视，差点崩溃飞回老家
@@viewpointabroadI am Malaysian, but I can see that they are not very friendly towards overseas UA-camr, so you need to be careful，I don't know how much you know about the younger generation of China, but they are unfriendly to foreigners on the Internet
@@onion9387 thanks I’ll try to find it
@@onion9387 yes. The younger kids have access to western media now and they are also swayed by the western negative news about China. Creates a divide.
Hello John i m non native have a degree from uk masters in business administration can I get a job
I bet you can get a teaching job teaching MBA at a Beijing or Shanghai university! I knew a German girl 20yrs ago who had a new job teaching biology in Guangdong province! She don't speak Chinese, only German and English!
@peanut0brain so I can get any subject job related to finance or economics
Yes you’ll be able to get a job for sure. It will be harder to find via online. It’s better to be in the country first then find the job. You’ll have to go back home to process the paperwork. If you’re lucky the employer will pay for that though. I have lots of friends who are non native English speakers who are working here.
Can I have your we chat or wtsapp please if you won't mind
Thank-you so much cheers
Yup. If you're black or brown, more difficult HAHAHA
Anyway to contact you directly, whether by email or WeChat?
My email is on the about page
wait a min, dont tell me that you are going to changsha? cause I am here now.
Nah. I’m heading a little more north
@@viewpointabroad I will start my travelling -living life three months later. living every city for few months in coming years. no matter which city you will be, let's meet when I get there some day.
@@nicksonredfield3925 nice! looking forward to it.
