Hey all, this is a bit of a different video from our usual, but we hope you can gain some useful information from it. If you have any further question, don't hesitate to leave it below 😄
Wonderful content guys! I follow this channel because it's one of the main reasons I've decided to make the move to Vietnam in 2020 and it's so great to see you have fun and provide an insightful look into the practicalities and reality of living there 🤗
o o hey there. This comment means so much to us! We’re really glad we have inspired you to take action. That’s why we started this channel in the first place. Good on you for making the decision to take the leap. If you need anything else, or any extra information, please don’t hesitate to ask😊
Xavier's Leong Way From Home absolutely! It’s also important for anyone wanting to move over to Vietnam and wanting to teach. People are always asking us just how affordable Vietnam is. That’s why we made this video🙏🏻
@@RhettandClaire So true! I just started a job teaching English online to Chinese students so I'm excited to be able to take that to any part of the world!
Thank you for the Vid! For everyone's perspective and difference of opinion, some aspects of living can be way cheaper. -We have a 4 bedroom 3 bath full size house for $210 a month. -Our electric bill generally runs us $18 a month. -our food budget for groceries and eating out is usually around $300 total for the month. About the same as you guys I guess. Ironically eating out in Vietnam can often be cheaper than cooking at home. But if you enjoy cooking then go for it. -traveling by bicycle can be nearly free Now this is only reasonable because I speak fluent Vietnamese and we have a "local lifestyle". Likewise we live in Hue city as opposed to Saigon. This is not possible in an "expat neighborhood" nor downtown of major cities. But for those new to Vietnam an expat neighborhood is often a good choice. So yeah overall for average folks your numbers are still about right. I might ask, would you consider listing the totals on the video description? As it stands you flashed it for 5 seconds only at (9:45) in video. That's cool too but harder to find and refer to. Keep up the great work guys! Perhaps we'll see you around in this beautiful country. Cheers!
Wow, thank you so much for this comment. It gives us a little but more perspective. A “local lifestyle” is definitely a lot cheaper than our “new to HCMC, expat lifestyle”😂. We probably could have cut those expenses down a bit but we enjoyed our time, and that’s all that matters. We’ll definitely consider putting the totals in the description, in the future. Thank you for the suggestion 🙏🏻. We hope you stay safe and healthy in Hue. Cheers!☺️
I'm not sure I could handle the pollution levels and especially the low quality of the food that Vietnam is purported to have. I've heard from people who've lived there for years that it's probably the worst country in SE Asia in terms of food quality. Which is a shame because it looks like a cool place for the most part. This Philippines is supposed to have excellent quality food and must be a great destination but it's not a country in need of English teachers. Probably a good place to be based as a Digi Nomad. How did you find living in Saigon? Was it the plan all along to only stay there for 6 months?
Kai Hendry it’s very sad. HCMC can be a dark place for people with mental illnesses (we know many people that had mental breakdowns during the time that we were there). Apparently the two South Africans had both been suffering from mental illnesses prior to their disappearances so perhaps it had something to do with that. Who knows? We feel very sad for their families though, it must be such a horrible thing to be going through 💔. What are your thoughts? Have you heard anything lately?
Hey. I am really interested in looking into the building you lived at. It seems more reasonable than others on the market. Would you mind sharing the address. I hope this doesnt sound too personal. Maybe others like it would be good as well.
Hey there, we do a full tour of the apartment and the building in this video: th-cam.com/video/Q3e37bjv5es/w-d-xo.html It was in New City in District 2, there’s various buildings and we used an agency called Emperors Key to find it (not sure if they still operate but we presume so). Good luck😁
Lucille Hi Lucille, only 1% of our views come from South Africa (quite sad) so we didn’t think it was important. All of our other videos have ZAR prices though 😊

Izak van der Westhuizen Not even the locals in Vietnam drink the tap water. There are high levels of chlorine in the tap water but it’s your choice whether you want to consume it or not.

Really helpful video! good thing to note is this price is between two people so actually really cheap per person for 1 month of living!
Glad you like it! That's correct, the amount is for two people! It's really great value!

Nice summary of everything there. Pretty affordable
Michael Ritchie thanks Mike. It’s certainly pretty decent. We save a bit, not needing to pay much on transport, since we work at home mostly.
Highly informative video! Enjoyed watching it
Thanks for watching Nate! We're glad you enjoyed it. Looking forward to some of your Hawaii footage!🤙🏼

You need to reside in the country side of the southern tip state of India , may be cheaper ?
