I live in the states, (And unfortunately one of the worst ones 😔 Def on the top 5 worst states list) 17:28 The first time I seen a picture of the hand bridge I thought it was sooo unbelievably unique and so BEAUTIFUL! I have it on my bucket list. Although my bucket list is basically imaginary...or a if I hit the lotto list...because I'm sure I'll never get to go across the US let alone anywhere outside of the US...I can dream!!! Great apartment & location. Puppers is soo cute too, I bet Nala loves it.
What a great apartment. The views alone are worth the cost. Nala is so sweet and beautiful and it’s so wonderful to see how much of your lives are devoted to her comfort and happiness. So glad it’s all working out so well.
Hey this is detroit again, I just watched another of your videos, I'm not Asian nor am I looking to move overseas. But I really like your videos, appreciate you speaking in English keep up the good work 👏
Fantastic view! The firework is from the Symphony of River show, which takes place everyday until Sept. You can go to Da Nang Downtown (previously it was Asia Park) to watch it 😄
I just subscribed after I watched you do an excellent job on giving a tour of your apartment. Your dog is so cute. For the price you pay you have a very nice apartment and your views are amazing. I look forward to future videos. Meanwhile, I will watch the older videos. 😊
Congratulations and I’m glad it worked out you! It’s a great place at a great price. I absolutely love the view especially the river with the mountains. Gorgeous natural sunshine. No suffering from Vitamin D deficiency and no Seasonal Affect disorder like I have in New England for sometimes more than 3 months. I’m really happy for you both. I’m not sure how you popped up on my feed but I enjoyed the few blogs I had a chance to catch. I’m subscribing so I follow your journey! Congrats again and best wishes!!
Thanks! Oof I lived in New Hampshire for 4 years and then Rochester. SAD is no joke. Definitely no worries of that in Da Nang! Glad you’re enjoying the vlogs!
04:50 those drying racks are cool! Nice kitchen storage overall. First time seeing such nice kitchen layout+conveniences like that among VN apartments. 👍👍👍
Thanks! We’ll play it by ear. We have a lot of family here so always people to dog sit when we’re out of town. Also we really like it here so I don’t see any reason to leave anytime soon
It's funny the weird things you pointed out about your condo, I've been saying this since moving here: it feels like the builders were told "here is a photo of what a Western house/hotel/restaurant look like you have 5 minutes to remember and then just build it". The ELEMENTS are all there but they are done in ways that don't actually make sense. Which is funny because I would guess the rooms are more or less a template of each other so they only need to design it once right. That said I wouldn't trade it. I love Da Nang so much. I just signed a one year lease for a 3 story house about 5 minutes from you in My An for 16M. It has a totally blocked fence so you can't see in (because we were worried about our dog). If you decide to stay here long term, the pricing on houses with 3-6 month payments upfront is amazingly affordable.
lmfao yeah they know what should be in a upscale unit but now why. It's just a lack of refinement. It's in LA too you can tell when it's a developer's first high rise because there's just details they didn't account for. They gotta make mistakes on the first one and then learn from it for the next one. We were pretty set up on a high rise amenity building and we some that had REALLY nice finishes for a similar price but... no dogs allowed. Tbh the amenities were pretty lacking in all the building which in LA is pretty much the only reason you pay a premium for these types of building. There's a few more buildings reaching completion soon so we'll see what's out there. We're ok with the price for a little extra peace of mind for Nala. Thanks for the rec I'll try out the Mexican place hopeful but skeptical haha. We're from LA and SD so we love Mexican food but can be pretty picky about good Mexican food.
@@TravelWithNala I've got plenty, I do Da Nang food reviews. (Not here, just got fun) Two more since I've got your trust now: Poombas for their brisket, everyone else in town has a tendency to be dry, Poombas nails it every time (though the staff sometimes forget the barbecue sauce do you have to ask). Ân Ký Mì Gia - Mì Kéo Kungfu - Chinese Char Su noodles 50k they make them themselves every day by hand. They only have like 100 reviews on Google but they are basically all 5 stars and they don't have any 5 star review perks. Lol I lied here are a couple more: Bravo pizza doesn't deliver their wood fired pizza because they don't think it can be delivered while keeping their quality. Their oven only does one or two pizzas at a time so sometimes it can be slow but it's the best pizza I've had here. It's not perfect because it's hard to get good cheese here, but it's probably one of the best attempts. Also Vietnamese owned which I like. Also finally there is this fantastic fish soup place. 20k for an amazing fish soup, I don't know the name of the soup and they aren't on Google Maps but I'll email you if your address is in the channel description. All these places get overlooked because everyone just sticks to Bikini Bottom or Dirty Fingers and it makes me sad because they are honestly so fantastic. (Though I do love Bikini Bottom as a guilty pleasure)
What a great video.....Full of details.....I first wanted to know where that apartment was, but now I'm thinking a villa is definitely the way to go. Keep Nala safe, my man.
HELLO! First, the view is spectacular! I'd be inspired everyday to do something creative. Second, Who's judging! 😳 Don't worry about the clothes and clutter. It's your home and you two live there. It's real life. 😄 Third, Nola said stop playing, you know she's napping. 🤣🤣 And lastly, I'll be your first guest when you two are ready!! 😁😁 (just kidding. I need a passport first 😏 yeah, yeah, I know, I know. I'm working on it 😅) But again, I'm loving that view.
Nala sleep 20 hours a day she’s the laziest dog in the world 😂. You’re right though I step out on the balcony 3-4 times a day when I hit a mental block and it just resets me
Oh! You think so? I actually had that theory to start but then i noticed the entry door and shower door would swing in the same path and thought the builders had it swing inwards for that reason. Now I see it can swing either way if you fix the seal. I'm going to try this out and seeing if it feels better. Thanks!!
Great tour! New viewer of the channel. Is it possible that the omitted mirror panel [11:25] is purposeful because reflection of the sun during different times of day/year? I noticed in video that as you moved, there could possibly be sun glare within the apt from that panel. It has happened to me in a remodeled office. Had to close blinds at times.
Hey welcome to the channel! Hmm not sure. I doubt it though because there’s a lot of details missing in the unit so I don’t think they would have thought that far 😂
Yes! Luckily Da Nang has so much fresh and delicious fruit freshly squeezed into juice and we’ve been indulging ourselves. These would be $10 back in LA but $1-$2 here and it’s so much better here. Amazing!
Beautiful views and furnishing! I absolutely love hard mattresses, so vietnamese are my people! 😂 The drying rack is amazing too! What lease term are you on? We are moving to Danang in a few weeks but thinking to get 6 months only to avoid being a tax resident 😁 even tho im not sure if they enforce it!
Switch outside bathroom is kinda normal, as we fear the electric leaks while bathing. 30 mil is just a bit pricy, but I think with those luxury furnitures included and view it is worth a try xd. I suggest you guys ask the local to find the nearest wholesale market to save budget, as the price may cut down to 1/2 - 1/3.
Oh that makes sense for a wet room style bathroom. Are switches mostly on the outside then? It’s strange because we have one on the outside and one on the inside haha
Hey neighbor! Just stumbled upon your video and noticed you're living in the same building my fiance and I just moved into with our dogs last week. If I see you around I'll say hi.
I have been keeping an eye for you two recently since I discovered your channel last week. I just started (literally, yesterday) trying to learn Hangul and Batchim. HELP!!!!
Good luck! Imo Hangul is one of the easiest languages to learn because the writing is so organized and straightforward. Kim learned to read and write in no time
Hi David & Kim, I recently found your vlog and new subscriber.. My husband and I love it very much. I am retired and interested in visiting Southeast Asia for travel sometime. A long time ago, I have been to some of the southeast asia countries but Vietnam and Thailand. I have lived in the USA for about 40 years now and immigrated from Korea. Btw you look like my son so much! Your gf is so cute, too! 😊❤ Nala is so beautiful 😍 Keep up the good work! 😊❤
That is a nice apartment with a nice view and lots of natural light!! I like the unit, but not a fan of the street noise. If I had choose mountain or ocean view I would take ocean view!! I didn't like the villas you were showing when apartment hunting. I think for the view and the space for 1100.00 is cheap compared to the US. Now apartments in Washington DC ( DMV) for one or two bed room apartment is around 2k, plus utiliy.
I'm happy with what we got. The street noise is pretty hard to avoid in Da Nang not to mention the karaoke and all the other noises. I've lived in NYC so I like some background noise.
Am looking forward to your adventures in your new locale. My brother moved to Ecuador an owns a coffee farm there. He sold his last crop to someone in South Korea. You two would get along great with your love of coffee. His operation is called Alaska del Sur. We were down there in February and were able to roast about 40 pounds to bring back with us. He does Geisha as well as a blend of Geisha and Tipica.
It really is a popular spot. Spend some time here and see if you like it. Get plugged into a community, get into a routine, and see if you could be happy here long term!
Hi David & Kim! Would love to hear more about your experiences traveling with a dog. My partner & I hope to do the same in 3-5 year with our husky as well. ! Many thanks!
Tbh it's not easy. We were initially planning to hop to a new country every 1-2 months to travel as much as possible but getting the dog between countries is only one part of the ordeal. Moving a dog within a city is a challenge on its own. Every country (and city) has different cultures and opinions around dogs and the vast majority of countries don't consider pets lives/wellbeing as highly as we do. Maybe if we weren't both working full-time jobs, we could juggle all of this but we don't think we'll take Nala anywhere other than Da Nang or Seoul where we have family that can help out in case of an emergency.
The input about Nala was super helpful, because my girlfriend and I have 2 small dogs and we were thinking of moving to live in Vietnam sometime after working for a little bit/securing a remote job (we just graduated college). How was your experience transporting Nala from the US to Vietnam? That was the only thing holding us back because we were afraid of them getting hurt on the airplane. 😢
It’s much easier with small dogs. A lot of apartments here allow small dogs. I actually see soooo many small dogs walking around town so your dogs will have lots of friends. I *think* that small dogs that fit in a carrier can ride the plane with you under the seat but don’t quote me on that
@@TravelWithNala Thank you so much, that’s reassuring. I just can’t stomach keeping them underneath the plane but I really want to move to Vietnam lol so it’s really conflicting
@@FidelOtero most airlines allow small dogs on the plane, they need to be in a approved carrier that fits under the seat in front of you. You will have to check with each individual airline their policy and the fee ( have to buy a ticket for them ). And you will have to train your dogs to go in the carrier. 😊
Just found you. I would have maintenance fix the shower because if Kim gets pregnant she won't be able to fit in there to get a shower. You would have to move.
Hey David, can you talk about how you plan to live in VN long term i.e visassss... are you just there on the 3 month visa and then plan to go elsewhere afterwards?
Incredible apt and those views are phenomenal. New subbie here. Im interested in teaching English. However, I have a service dog and not sure if Vietnam observes service dog's accommodations or not. In the US no one can ban my dog even if they have a no pet policy. So I'll have to do some investigating. Tfs Feel better soon.
@@CraftsandMorewithDonnaJackson oh yeah service dog is not a thing here at all. Even the concept of dogs living indoors and wearing leashes is pretty novel here lol. Just have to ask each apartment if they allow dogs. I think a good amount of them do. It’s becoming more and more common to have indoor dogs as pets.
are you able to please share the contact information for the leasing office? I've been looking for a furnished living space but communication has been difficult so it's so helpful to see an active example of a unit in full. the price also seems very reasonable everything considered. PLease and thank you.
Hello you can book straight with us with the same views in the same building Monarchy B. We are the owner and believes they are unfortunately overpaying usually only 18-20 million for level 27 too (high rise)
I flipped the seals and put the door the other way and it’s better. For the other bathroom there’s not enough space for the door to swing outwards comfortably
Beautiful apartment. So happy for you guys. The views are stunning. I kept saying to myself, I wish I could see the view at night and you then you showed the fireworks. Best part of the video - the nighttime view from the balcony, really looks like a painting. Absolutely stunning!!! What a great balcony to go and decompress. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy!
Thanks I appreciate it! I wasn't originally planning to but I looked out and saw the night view as I was finishing up and thought wow i have to include this!
Your wife found a job really quick. What does she do? Is it easy or difficult to find a job there? It would be good if you could do a video around this topic and the requirements.
new subscriber here! i was also considering on moving out to Da Nang perhaps in the near future. i was curious on what you do for work? are you currently relying on youtube content after selling everything? i wonder if digital nomad is the way to go if moving to Da Nang or if I could find some kind of job in Da Nang when it comes to English teaching or what not. Have considered being a digital nomad but i haven't taken any steps to go towards that path besides starting on my course on digital marketing on coursera. Looking forward to all your new content and your reply! and i'm assuming the move was slightly less difficult since your girlfriend/ wife?? (Kim) is there and are Vietnamese~?
i also know a lot of koreans like to go out to Da Nang because of the flexibility of running an Airbnb there in comparison to running it in Korea due to strict regulations and technically being illegal.. In the near future would you be ever consider running a Airbnb there in Da Nang for i don't know for passive income and if so consider making content of the process of running an Airbnb in the future on your channel? Idk if that is still and up and growing business or too complicated. However I feel like it could be a good opportunity for you since your girlfriend and her parents are their and are locals??
we both work in tech. YT is just for funsies for now. Yeah if I were you I'd find a remote job in the states or teach English here. Good to have stability and consistency and then if you want to get into freelancing or entrepreneurship or yotube or something then you can build that up over time.
@@TravelWithNala any reason why? too much competition? too time consuming? you'll also prob not recommend someone who have no contacts and doing it from scratch if you don't know the language and have barriers to entry
@@Rogerdoger-bh8sj there’s no limit but of course that could change. Vietnam has been planning a digital nomad visa like some of the neighboring countries but nothing yet.
HCMC has a lot more options for high rise modern apartment options than Da Nang. But I’m not sure if get a 3BR apartment like this in HCMC for this price. I’m not as familiar with the market there. Also we can’t “get more” because it doesn’t really exist here 😂
Tech mess. Buy a container, junk drawer. The toilet in the bathing room is not ideal. You could ask them to accommodate you with a shower curtain instead of the glass door.
Looking at Vietnam and Thailand apartments it makes me realize how crappy Korean apartments are. Korean apartments are built cheap and antiquated design
This is an incredibly dumb statement on so many levels. You're comparing apples and oranges. This apartment is literally one of the best in Da Nang. The average Viets can't afford places like this. It's only affordable for wealthy expats with foreign salaries/income. Best apartments or "officetels" in Seoul are just as good if not better, but of course more expensive. You just don't see them that often on TH-cam because not many people including Western expats can afford to live there.
$1200 a night? Geez supper adorable from Venus or mars?😂 Don’t take a shit in it. U may flush away some of your coins.😂 Take magnesium supplements to help ur disgust system. Thanks 4 sharing the life of VN billionaire lifestyle.👍😵💫🫀

Thanks! Nala is honestly the best dog ever. I’ve never met a husky so calm and sweet like her.
i arrived in Da Nang 2 days ago and I am so in love with everything here and I never want to leave :))
It's pretty great!
Hey this is detroit again, I just watched another of your videos, I'm not Asian nor am I looking to move overseas. But I really like your videos, appreciate you speaking in English keep up the good work 👏
My pleasure. Like 90% of the people watching are from the US or Canada so I’m glad people on the other side of the world can enjoy these adventures
Beautiful apartment and the view's from each room is beautiful too.🥰👍
Fantastic view! The firework is from the Symphony of River show, which takes place everyday until Sept. You can go to Da Nang Downtown (previously it was Asia Park) to watch it 😄
Oh cool! Thanks for that info. Good to know it’s not 365 days haha it does get pretty loud. It’s gunna be an fun month though

Very nice view! I can sympathize with Nala dealing with the humid hot weather. Vietnam Nam is on my bucket list.
Definitely worth a visit! Luckily the temperatures drop at night and there’s always that sea breeze that feels so good.
04:50 those drying racks are cool! Nice kitchen storage overall. First time seeing such nice kitchen layout+conveniences like that among VN apartments. 👍👍👍
Yeah the built ins are super cool. I’ve never seen those before except in million dollar house tours on TH-cam haha
Those drying racks originate from Finland. Love it and makes so much sense. Fantastic apartment.
The view at night is WOW!
Magical
Thanks for sharing your videos! I'm looking forward to visiting Da Nang for a few months in 2025.

Btw you look like my son so much! Your gf is so cute, too! 😊❤

Maybe if we weren't both working full-time jobs, we could juggle all of this but we don't think we'll take Nala anywhere other than Da Nang or Seoul where we have family that can help out in case of an emergency.
Very nice apartment. Hope you take us on a tour trip of Vietnam.
Thanks? Excited to show more of what life is like in Da Nang
Beautiful views
The input about Nala was super helpful, because my girlfriend and I have 2 small dogs and we were thinking of moving to live in Vietnam sometime after working for a little bit/securing a remote job (we just graduated college). How was your experience transporting Nala from the US to Vietnam? That was the only thing holding us back because we were afraid of them getting hurt on the airplane. 😢
It’s much easier with small dogs. A lot of apartments here allow small dogs. I actually see soooo many small dogs walking around town so your dogs will have lots of friends. I *think* that small dogs that fit in a carrier can ride the plane with you under the seat but don’t quote me on that
@@TravelWithNala Thank you so much, that’s reassuring. I just can’t stomach keeping them underneath the plane but I really want to move to Vietnam lol so it’s really conflicting
@@FidelOtero most airlines allow small dogs on the plane, they need to be in a approved carrier that fits under the seat in front of you. You will have to check with each individual airline their policy and the fee ( have to buy a ticket for them ). And you will have to train your dogs to go in the carrier. 😊
Just found you. I would have maintenance fix the shower because if Kim gets pregnant she won't be able to fit in there to get a shower. You would have to move.
Glad you found us. I don't think that's happening anytime soon 😂
Hey David, can you talk about how you plan to live in VN long term i.e visassss... are you just there on the 3 month visa and then plan to go elsewhere afterwards?
Yeah just planning on 3 months visas at a time and visiting different countries in between
Incredible apt and those views are phenomenal. New subbie here. Im interested in teaching English. However, I have a service dog and not sure if Vietnam observes service dog's accommodations or not. In the US no one can ban my dog even if they have a no pet policy. So I'll have to do some investigating. Tfs Feel better soon.
Thanks! I would call the airlines directly. We’ve learned everything is case by case and every airline, airport, and country has different rules.
@@TravelWithNala Thanks. I'm already cleared by the airlines. Just wondering about living arrangements.
@@CraftsandMorewithDonnaJackson oh yeah service dog is not a thing here at all. Even the concept of dogs living indoors and wearing leashes is pretty novel here lol. Just have to ask each apartment if they allow dogs. I think a good amount of them do. It’s becoming more and more common to have indoor dogs as pets.
are you able to please share the contact information for the leasing office? I've been looking for a furnished living space but communication has been difficult so it's so helpful to see an active example of a unit in full. the price also seems very reasonable everything considered. PLease and thank you.
Hello you can book straight with us with the same views in the same building Monarchy B. We are the owner and believes they are unfortunately overpaying usually only 18-20 million for level 27 too (high rise)
For a 3 bedroom?
How much was the apartment at Marriott going to cost?
At the Hilton? I think it was about 1600
Da Nang itself is a bit big Korean town. In the most restaurants most of servers are fluent in Korean..
Depends where you are. For the more touristy areas yes but not for the local areas.
Koreans disrespect Vietnamese people 😢
Can the shower door swing both directions, because the shower door should be swinging outward not inward into the shower?
I flipped the seals and put the door the other way and it’s better. For the other bathroom there’s not enough space for the door to swing outwards comfortably
Beautiful apartment. So happy for you guys. The views are stunning. I kept saying to myself, I wish I could see the view at night and you then you showed the fireworks. Best part of the video - the nighttime view from the balcony, really looks like a painting. Absolutely stunning!!! What a great balcony to go and decompress. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy!
Thanks I appreciate it! I wasn't originally planning to but I looked out and saw the night view as I was finishing up and thought wow i have to include this!
Your wife found a job really quick. What does she do? Is it easy or difficult to find a job there? It would be good if you could do a video around this topic and the requirements.
She works for a US company that has an office in Da Nang. We don’t know much about the job market here unfortunately
Our mattress was pretty stiff when we got it. It did soften after a while.
hmm I wonder if that will happen with ours. So far it's just as stiff as day 1 but we don't mind
I live on the 11th floor and my dog has always looked out the window and watches what is happening on the street.
Cool! It’s nice that they have a lot of visual stimulation throughout the day
new subscriber here! i was also considering on moving out to Da Nang perhaps in the near future.
i was curious on what you do for work? are you currently relying on youtube content after selling everything?
i wonder if digital nomad is the way to go if moving to Da Nang or if I could find some kind of job in Da Nang when it comes to English teaching or what not. Have considered being a digital nomad but i haven't taken any steps to go towards that path besides starting on my course on digital marketing on coursera. Looking forward to all your new content and your reply!
and i'm assuming the move was slightly less difficult since your girlfriend/ wife?? (Kim) is there and are Vietnamese~?
i also know a lot of koreans like to go out to Da Nang because of the flexibility of running an Airbnb there in comparison to running it in Korea due to strict regulations and technically being illegal.. In the near future would you be ever consider running a Airbnb there in Da Nang for i don't know for passive income and if so consider making content of the process of running an Airbnb in the future on your channel? Idk if that is still and up and growing business or too complicated. However I feel like it could be a good opportunity for you since your girlfriend and her parents are their and are locals??
we both work in tech. YT is just for funsies for now. Yeah if I were you I'd find a remote job in the states or teach English here. Good to have stability and consistency and then if you want to get into freelancing or entrepreneurship or yotube or something then you can build that up over time.
nah i don't think id ever run an airbnb in VN
@@TravelWithNala thanks for the recommendation! def something to plan ahead before transitioning for stability
@@TravelWithNala any reason why? too much competition? too time consuming? you'll also prob not recommend someone who have no contacts and doing it from scratch if you don't know the language and have barriers to entry
Korea live in high rise luxury apartments
Is it possible I can get the name of the building?
whats the visa situation looking like for you?
On a 90 day visa. Planning to travel around Southeast Asia a lot of will just renew my visa while we’re out.
@@TravelWithNala how often can you do border runs as an American without them denying entry?
@@Rogerdoger-bh8sj there’s no limit but of course that could change. Vietnam has been planning a digital nomad visa like some of the neighboring countries but nothing yet.
@@TravelWithNala thats awesome. Congrats on the apt
$1200 US Dollars A month??
American freedom dollars 💸
Just visited Danang A week ago .Danang lost her soul to Koreans 😢
Depends where you go. Touristy areas are obviously going to have lots of tourists
You guys are way overpaying. Đà nẵng should be much cheaper than HCM. And for 30 million in HCM you can get a lot more.
HCMC has a lot more options for high rise modern apartment options than Da Nang. But I’m not sure if get a 3BR apartment like this in HCMC for this price. I’m not as familiar with the market there. Also we can’t “get more” because it doesn’t really exist here 😂
How do you make money??
We both work
Tech mess. Buy a container, junk drawer. The toilet in the bathing room is not ideal. You could ask them to accommodate you with a shower curtain instead of the glass door.
Is your girlfriend Vietnamese?
Yep
Looking at Vietnam and Thailand apartments it makes me realize how crappy Korean apartments are. Korean apartments are built cheap and antiquated design
There are really nice places in Korea too but there are Suuuuuper expensive. Seoul is one of the most expensive cities on this side of the world.
This is an incredibly dumb statement on so many levels. You're comparing apples and oranges. This apartment is literally one of the best in Da Nang. The average Viets can't afford places like this. It's only affordable for wealthy expats with foreign salaries/income. Best apartments or "officetels" in Seoul are just as good if not better, but of course more expensive. You just don't see them that often on TH-cam because not many people including Western expats can afford to live there.
U spend too much time in kitchen
$1200 a night? Geez supper adorable from Venus or mars?😂
Don’t take a shit in it. U may flush away some of your coins.😂
Take magnesium supplements to help ur disgust system. Thanks 4 sharing the life of VN billionaire lifestyle.👍😵💫🫀
