- 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

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.. ❤
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?
Thanks for coming back. Seeing your smiley makes a day, . Keep up the good work
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. 😃
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!
Your content is so wholesome and helpful. I'm very glad to hear your update and hope you're doing great! Welcome back!!
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 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.
You did a great job! Keep on doing what you love! Thank you for all of your efforts and wishing you the best Van!
Welcome back!! It's so easy to get overwhelmed and caught up--good for you for recognizing that!!
Wow I started watching your videos bc I was so bored at work and desperately needed new inspirations/ideas back in April. I had since watched almost every one of your videos which really uplifted my spirits. This week I finally booked my tickets to Hanoi end of September, and I'm glad to see you're back on UA-cam.
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
I'm so glad you are in a good place. Missed your content and look forward to following your channel again.
Welcome back! I missed your videos. Glad ya all good.
I’m so glad you’re back and doing well. Your videos are so enjoyable. My wife and I are planning to visit Vietnam in the coming year. We love your content.
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 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!!
Welcome back. You are always a pleasure to watch.
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.... 😊
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!
It is lovely to see you back and feeling good ! I have always enjoyed your upbeat smiling style !! Take care lovely lady !!! ❤💯
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.❤
Welcome Back!! So many times we forget to stop and smell the roses. Very happy to see you realized this and took the actions you needed for you!! 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!!
Welcome back! Looking forward to what's coming up!
Glad to see you back. Thanks for all the videos. We're going back to Hanoi in February 2024 to see our family.
Welcome back, you are 100% right about taking time for yourself. We missed you and fully support your choices.
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 😊
Always found your videos top tier, glad you are back
Exactly just be you and have fun ❤
Welcome back ! We all love your videos. Please don't quit you tube and keep making interesting videos for all of us. We can't wait to see your new and improved videos. Thanks
I'm so glad to see you're back. I really missed your charming appearance and your radiant smile. Hope to see more of your videos in the near future.
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'm a Viet from Melbourne Australia and your content helped my recent trip in Vietnam! Keep it up. Love your videos :)
I can imagine the pressure. I hope you enjoy both the journey, make milestones and hit destinations.
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! :)
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.
Welcome back, Love your content.
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
Welcome back!
I miss your videos! ❤❤❤
Welcome back Van! Best of wish on your return .
You are so brave. You are so honest. Your messages hit my heart really got needed to me myself right now. That’s why we love you. Pho-ever Love. I’ll enjoy my journey, not a distinction. Thank you for coming back!
“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!
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.
Glad you are back. I was worried 😢. Glad you could find some peace. I’m looking forward to your new videos.
Thankyou! Ive wondered where you have been. Appreciate the videos of VN!
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.
It’s great to have you back, I really appreciate your videos. Look after yourself, whatever you produce we will love.
Great to see back on You tube, you have been missed. Take care and good luck
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. :)
Glad your back, love your videos. Always take time to relax and recharge. Mental and physical health are very important.
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.
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🤗👍
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.
A creative break and taking time for yourself is healthy. Welcome back!
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 !
👍🙏🏻 🌹 ❤.
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.
Have been following you from the begining of the channel around 1k subs till now, it's glad to see youre back. The positive energy, the energetic spirit of you will always inspire poeple.
Keep it going, wish you all the best Van!
I am glad you are back! the reason I like your channel is your authenticity! please continue with your journey and enjoy!
Thank you for your unique and valuable contributions. I hope you'll play the long game with your projects and work.
I have been waiting ages for you, it's nice when you're back, always supporting you!❤
You’re awesome! Keep doing what you’re doing. We love seeing you
I am glad that you're back and truly find the purpose of life. Enjoying the journey is what matters not the destination!
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!
Thank you so much for the insights. I am a California man who loves a Vietnamese woman. We are both in our late fifties. She is an engineer for the California water district. Kimthoa was put in an underground prison when she was twelve years old in Vietnam and it hurt her. Now she is strong and thriving in California. I respect her so much for many reasons. How can I make her smile. How can I show her that I truly love and respect her for her strength and her kindness? She is brilliant.
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
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!
Missed ya girl. Welcome back. Thanks for the video.
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 ❤️
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.
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
Thank You very much Van , You are Truly a very Special Person 😊❤🙏
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.
Great to see you back, I look forward to seeing your videos. Take good care of yourself ❤
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. 👍
Mental health is super important. Glad that you have shift the focus and is able to managing your energy well.
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
You go girl. I’ve followed you from the beginning and love what you do. Most of the channels, especially those food bloggers from overseas who often give misinformation about Vietnam, have little value in my mind, but you really give a real insight as a Vietnamese and we are all on the journey with you. Glad to see you back and going for it! Looking forward to more exciting stuff.
She is back !!! Yay !!! Welcome back !!!
Really enjoyed your videos , no matter the topic and love your personality
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 :)
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.
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!
I'm so glad you are feeling better. I enjoy watching you sharing your culture with the world.
I have been watching Vietnamese shows and find I am an avid fan of SVM programs. I also watch Ham and Hay and various other programs. I'm from Indianapolis Indiana in the USA and appreciate what seems to be a "family" feeling with SVM. How is this industry (entertainment) received in Vietnam. I truly enjoy the programs. Be blessed and take care.
Take good care of yourself! I began watching you and Alex from Ninja a couple of years ago and finally went to Vietnam to teach English in Tra Vinh City this past winter/spring. I loved it! I might not have ever gone if I hadn't watched you guys! I plan to return to teach in January 2024. Stay healthy!
That's awesome!!
Awesome to see you back was wondering where the pho you've been.
Welcome back. I traveled to Hanoi and Da Nang back in May and really enjoyed it.
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.
it’s good to see you back here. Enjoy the presence, love what you are doing.
I just found your channel, I'm glad you took the first time for self awareness. I'm subscribing.
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 UA-camrs so I appreciate the content u put out 😊
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 🤗
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...
Got so happy just seeing you again. Glad you are taking care of yourself.
I'm glad you're 'back' since I just found you half an hour ago! I would like to visit Vietnam and am thinking of using your services ... keep going ...
Good to see you back, all the best the journey ahead
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.
Take care, young lady! Wish you will have a strongly come back and enjoy your coming journeys!
love it. always give yourself a break when ya need. enjoy life first!
Always good to take time to step away, re-evaluate, get grounded again…a very mature decision. Your videos helped prepare me for my trip to Vietnam in February, where I fell in love with the people.
Best wishes to you ❤
Be nice peoples in Đà Nẵng city with beautifully landscape
