1
Welcome back to Saigon, Vietnam.
2
I just moved back here after a year and a half in Da Nang.
3
It is a brand new year.
4
Chuk Mung Nha Mui.
5
I'm excited to be here
6
and today I want to basically ask you a simple question about why you're not here yet
7
or why you haven't moved to Vietnam.
8
It's an incredible place.
9
It's the kind of place that'll blow away all of your expectations.
10
It's not just cheap.
11
It's not just beautiful.
12
It's neighborhoods just like this and cafes like this that are gonna surprise you.
13
Today I want to ask you something straight -up simple though.
14
How much longer are you going to wait before you pull the trigger, before you actually move to Vietnam?
15
How many more months are you gonna sit in your apartment in Ohio or California or Syracuse?
16
Shout out Kevin.
17
Wherever you are, scrolling through Instagram, watching other people live the life you basically want, telling yourself like, yeah someday someday I'll do it but not today.
18
I moved to Vietnam seven years ago in 2019 with a single suitcase, my laptop, you know, no real plan,
19
no connections, no safety net other than a job teaching English, and it was the best decision I've ever made in my life, coming here instead of China.
20
My cost of living dropped by like 70 percent.
21
My quality of life went up by 3 ,000 zillion percent.
22
I'm healthier, I'm happier.
23
I'm building a life and a family
24
that would be financially impossible back home in the US and Canada and the UK and Australia.
25
And every single week, I mean, other Americans, other Westerners, more and more people who are stuck in this weird limbo.
26
They want to move abroad.
27
They know they should move abroad.
28
They're emailing me about moving abroad.
29
They're absolutely miserable where they are, but they're paralyzed by fear and overthinking, not money.
30
So today I'm going to give you 10 legitimate concrete reasons
31
why Vietnam should be at the top of your list right now.
32
Not Thailand, not Bali, not Portugal, but this place.
33
This Vietnam you might not know.
34
And I'm going to be really direct and forthright with you.
35
If you've watched my other videos you know that's how I am.
36
This isn't a travel blog or a bit about the best pho, the best beaches or whatever.
37
This is a straight up pitch because I genuinely believe that if you're watching this video you're probably ready.
38
You just need someone to tell you that it's okay to pull the trigger
39
and to leave behind a bunch of the crap that's holding you where you are.
40
So let's talk about why Vietnam is the move right now.
41
Classic top 10 countdown style.
42
The way only David Letterman can do.
43
Number 10.
44
Your money goes five times further.
45
It's tet right now, which means everything is 50 % more.
46
This coconut coffee costs $2 .70.
47
Usually it's $1 .80.
48
In the busiest, most expensive city here.
49
Let's just start with the most obvious reason it's money right
50
in the united states i was spending thirty five hundred dollars
51
a month just basic you know rent utilities groceries health insurance car payment gas phone bill
52
that was baseline survival in san francisco in toronto not much
53
better maybe 3 200 you know maybe i saved 10
54
but the reality is toronto's not as good of a city
55
as san francisco right i wasn't living well i was just existing
56
when i did end up back in toronto it wasn't because i wanted to be there is because that's like home.
57
That was my default setting.
58
In Vietnam, my total monthly expenses are literally around $700 baseline, okay?
59
That's because I'm not paying rent right now.
60
And I'm not roughing it.
61
I'm living in a modern apartment in District 7 where you're seeing right around you.
62
There's a gym, there's pool, there's security.
63
I eat out every single day.
64
I get massages on the regular.
65
I travel constantly.
66
So how exactly is that possible?
67
Well, let me break it down for you, right?
68
Rent for the place, if I was paying in a great neighborhood like this, would be about a thousand bucks for a three -bedroom, okay?
69
So I'd split that with my wife, 500 each.
70
We're not paying because the condo is owned.
71
So you break that down to a studio, and you're literally looking at three to four hundred dollars for a studio, maybe less.
72
I just interviewed a guy
73
and he was saying one he's paying 550 a month for a nightly Airbnb price for it monthly
74
Yearly contracts you're looking at 275 300 plus utilities and water beautiful place
75
We'll link it we toured two apartments together street food a
76
dollar to sit down restaurant five to eight dollars Coffee one
77
or two dollars beer literally like 50 cents a gym membership
78
easy 20 bucks a month 30 bucks a month max unless
79
you're splurging a motorbike like these guys over here you can
80
get one of those for 40 a month a haircut a
81
great haircut i made a video about this recently four bucks
82
if you're making western money right even just two or three thousand dollars a month
83
from a moat work or online business or social security or your retirement, your pension.
84
You truly are living incredibly well here.
85
It is very affordable for luxuries here.
86
And that's not hyperbole.
87
It's just the math.
88
It's just the basics, right?
89
The question isn't whether you can afford to move to Vietnam.
90
The question is whether you can afford not to.
91
Because realistically, whatever you're doing now, it's way more expensive than my lifestyle here.
92
I'm like, this isn't roughing it.
93
That was a nice cafe.
94
Aroma hops.
95
This is a craft beer bar right behind me.
96
The only reason it's closed is because it's a holiday.
97
Number nine.
98
The visa situation is actually easy.
99
Cut through the bullshit.
100
That's all garbage.
101
I have links to long -term or short -term visa options below.
102
People overthink the visa.
103
They see visa, they immediately assume it's complicated, it's bureaucratic hell, it's so expensive, they're going to reject it, yada yada.
104
It's not.
105
It's basic.
106
It's simple.
107
It's just a form.
108
You can come to Vietnam right now on a tourist visa and stay for 90 days.
109
That's it.
110
25 bucks.
111
No sponsorship.
112
No complicated applications.
113
Just fill out the form online.
114
Pay the fee with a credit card.
115
Show up.
116
90 days to test the waters to figure out if this place, if Vietnam, is for you or not.
117
You want to stay longer?
118
Then you figure it out, right?
119
You get a business visa.
120
You get a marriage visa.
121
You start a business.
122
You do whatever you want to do.
123
You don't need a job.
124
You can get an education visa if you're 18 to 60 years old.
125
You don't need a company.
126
You just need to pay a visa agent a couple hundred bucks, and they'll handle it for you.
127
I made a whole video on this.
128
I'm sick of people in the comments making excuses about the visa situation here.
129
That's bullshit.
130
If you're saying that, it's because you're not fucking here, okay?
131
It's easy to get a long -term visa here.
132
For five years, I lived in Ho Chi Minh City.
133
I didn't know anyone doing a visa run.
134
Never heard of that until I went to Tourist Dinaen.
135
Yeah, I've been doing this for seven years.
136
I've been doing my visa almost every year in country.
137
Sometimes it lasts two or three years depending on what kind of job or marriage.
138
It's never been a problem It's never been stressful, bro I never even do it for myself.
139
Literally my HR used to do it for me And now my wife does think about that.
140
I literally don't even do my own visa It's not something I've ever thought about compare
141
that to Thailand's new crackdown on visa runs compare
142
that to Bali's complicated KITS system compare
143
that to EU where you're limited to 90 days in every 180 day period or whatever.
144
It's not like that here.
145
Right now, it's 90 days and you just renew it after.
146
It's that simple.
147
Vietnam is literally making it easier for people to come here.
148
They want your money.
149
They want foreigners spending dollars in the local economy.
150
The economy is growing like crazy.
151
They've streamlined the process.
152
People who are saying it's hard are making excuses because they're lazy or they don't want to be here.
153
The visa situation is not a reason to delay your move.
154
In fact, it's one of the easiest parts of your move.
155
You can do it online before you get on a plane for 25 bucks.
156
Number eight, I'll stop ranting.
157
You can rent a place here in 24 hours fully furnished.
158
No problem, yeah?
159
Finding housing in the US, in the UK, Australia, Canada, nightmare.
160
Applications, security checks, first month, last month, security deposit, references.
161
Do you have a dog?
162
Do you have a cat?
163
Get lost, fuck you.
164
Background checks, waiting periods, lineups at the door to see mediocre places.
165
Are you kidding?
166
There's no housing crisis here.
167
In Vietnam you can rent an apartment in 24 hours.
168
Yeah, sometimes in the same day.
169
An old guy who just came from the Philippines with his girlfriend, my buddy Andy from Operation Da Nang, got him in a nice place, literally like hours after he was off the plane.
170
Here's how it works.
171
You scroll through Facebook groups or local rental sites.
172
You message the landlord.
173
You go look at the place.
174
You like it?
175
Boom.
176
Cash in hand for the first month or brief deposit, usually equal two months rent sometimes on three months up front
177
whatever they hand you the keys on the spot you move in
178
that day it's furnished already
179
but the fridge is plugged in no credit check no application no references just cash
180
and keys tell me that's difficult huh being honest tell me it's difficult and
181
if you don't like it you just leave at the end
182
of the month you know what's the least breaking penalty when your deposit is a few hundred bucks no complicated exit process.
183
You just give 30 to 90 days and move out.
184
I've moved apartment three times in seven years.
185
Every time I found a new place within a week.
186
No stress, no drama, no bureaucracy.
187
It's not an issue.
188
Your landlord will register you with the local ward because you're a foreigner afterwards.
189
The flexibility here is just insane.
190
You're not getting locked into year -long leases with penalties unless you want to.
191
You can test neighborhoods, you can upgrade when you want, you can move closer to friends or the beach or you can just change cities it's not a problem.
192
I have a bunch of friends who used to live in this apartment block over here.
193
Housing is not a barrier it's actually one of the easiest most flexible parts of living here.
194
Little parkette how quiet and beautiful is this right now.
195
When that restaurant is packed at night, this place would literally just be a parking lot.
196
Okay, number seven.
197
The food, the diet will ruin western food for you forever.
198
I'm not exaggerating when I say Vietnam has the best food in the world.
199
Sure, it's personal preference, but it's true.
200
Not good food, not interesting food.
201
The best.
202
Pho, bong mi, bun cha, con tim, bang seo, cow lao, pork vermicelli, seafood.
203
I was literally still swimming or flopping around in a pot an hour ago.
204
Deliciously fresh and it's not just the food itself it's the fact
205
that you can eat world -class meals for a couple bucks
206
and you can eat them three times a day at a place like
207
that sitting beside the water sitting out on the street sitting in stalls
208
and ultimately you're gonna have a food budget of like one two hundred dollars a month.
209
Check out these places eh?
210
These is ridiculous mansions.
211
I really want people to see what Vietnam is actually like.
212
This is what it's actually like for a lot of people.
213
The food here is social.
214
You're going to be eating with people.
215
You're going to be sitting on plastic schools on the sidewalk.
216
You're going to be drinking cheap beer.
217
You're going to be talking.
218
You're going to be watching the city move around you.
219
You're going to be enjoying yourself, right?
220
Compare that to eating on a sad desk or packed lunches or microwave food.
221
Look at this.
222
Tomahawk steak, Hong Kong crab, duck, lobster, fresh fish, snails.
223
There you go.
224
No more 12 ,000 or 1 ,200 calorie chipotle for me, thanks.
225
No more meal prepping chicken.
226
Just talking about the good life in Vietnam.
227
Because here you can afford to eat out, unlike at home.
228
The food alone, not as a novelty, but as your daily reality, is worth the move if you ask me.
229
Look at this guy.
230
He's got some beautiful stuff going on.
231
Ooh, delivery.
232
Wow, sin chow.
233
This looks yummy.
234
Next up, number six, attach the food.
235
You can get healthier and probably skinnier without trying.
236
This one truly surprised me.
237
I didn't move to Vietnam to get healthy.
238
I took here for a surprise job but it just happened anyways.
239
There's a side benefit right?
240
First because you're walking everywhere like me or you're cycling or you're taking a motorbike, you're not doing a long commute,
241
no sedentary commute, you're constantly on the move if you're participating in the local culture.
242
Second is that food.
243
It's fresh, it's real vegetables, it's real protein, no processed garbage, no high fructose corn syrup and everything,
244
no chemicals you can't pronounce and no MSG is not bad for you that's a myth.
245
Third, there's no drive -through culture in Vietnam.
246
You can't eat in your car because you don't have a car.
247
You're not door dashing McDonald's at midnight
248
because there's a better street food stall just down from where you're hanging out and living.
249
You can eat real meals at real times because you can afford it.
250
Fourth, gyms are cheap like I said 20 bucks a month often
251
with no contracts no consulate cancellation fees just to pay and go.
252
I literally lost like 15 -20 pounds in my first six months here.
253
Went from 200 down to 180.
254
My energy went up, my sleep improved, my mental health got better and you'll see this a lot.
255
Little outdoor parkettes with gyms okay.
256
And it's not because Vietnam again has some magic weight loss pill or secret.
257
It's not a Zenpic.
258
So the default lifestyle here is more walking, more social eating, more affordable fitness.
259
It's just healthier than the American default of sitting, driving, and processed food.
260
Check this out, right?
261
This kind of workout setup.
262
I use these all the time.
263
They're everywhere.
264
You don't have to become a health nut.
265
You just have to exist here.
266
And a lifestyle upgrade often happens automatically, right?
267
Almost by accident.
268
So look, we're halfway through the list and I want to just pause for a second and say truly, if you're thinking this sounds great, but I don't know how to actually do this,
269
yada, yada, another excuse about the logistics, that's why I put together my entire Move to Vietnam Masterclass.
270
It's a 60 -minute deep dive where I walk you through eight simple steps that are most frequently asked questions, the visa process, the apartments, the bank account stuff, you know,
271
setting up your life, everything that nobody tells you in one place simply.
272
Because truly moving to Vietnam isn't always easy, but if you know what you're doing
273
and you're not going to make the same mistakes myself or all the people I've helped have before, it's not going to be that hard, right?
274
Other people have figured out the hard way.
275
You don't have to.
276
Ultimately, that's all it's about.
277
And along with that in the membership, there's full breakdowns of five different countries, all the guides I've ever put together, more classes, etc. That's all linked below and in the comments.
278
Let's keep going though.
279
Number five in this beautiful parkette, the expat community here is thriving.
280
So one of the biggest people, fears people have about moving abroad is loneliness, which is justified, right?
281
Like, what if I can't make friends?
282
What if I'm totally isolated here?
283
Well, let's kill that fear right now because the expat community in Vietnam, especially in Saigon, Da Nang, Hanoi, is thriving.
284
It's growing a lot, right?
285
There are Facebook groups with literally tens of thousands of members.
286
There are meetups every day, every week, every night in different cities.
287
There are co -working spaces full of digital nomads and remote workers.
288
There are sports leagues, hiking groups, cycling groups, running groups, language exchanges.
289
Oh, God, yes, there's pickleball
290
and networking events you can make friends in a week no problem
291
if you put in a minimal effort
292
and these aren't necessarily going to be shallow friendships these are
293
people who just like you are choosing to uproot their entire lives
294
and move abroad
295
so you already have something in common right they're going to
296
be interesting they're going to be ambitious they're going to be
297
open -minded they get it they get the need the desire
298
the hunger right i've made better friends here in the last seven years than I often made in decades back home.
299
And I'm not unique, right?
300
Everyone says this.
301
They're just constantly meeting people.
302
The other thing is that the expat community here is often very supportive of your choices, right?
303
If you have a question, you post it in a Facebook group or you post it online, and you're going to get 20 helpful answers in like an hour, right?
304
If you need a visa agent, a doctor, a dentist, someone's going to recommend theirs.
305
If you're struggling, people are going to show up.
306
Trust me, everyone has done this before.
307
You're not going to be lonely unless you choose to be
308
isolated there is plenty of community here you just have to show up
309
and make a tiny bit of an effort number four this is one
310
that is vastly underrated but as i'm always addressing in my interviews with other expats
311
which is that you can build a business in vietnam for almost nothing right
312
if you have any entrepreneurial instincts
313
or desire at all vietnam is a fantastic place to test
314
them this year in 2026 it's going to surpass thailand as the third biggest economy in the region.
315
If you want to start an online business here, your overhead is like your cost of living, right?
316
It's 700 bucks a month.
317
It's a thousand bucks a month.
318
You can fail five times before you even hit that break -even point you'd have in the United States.
319
Think about that.
320
What I actually just said, right?
321
Your runout time is like infinite.
322
You want to start a service business, you know, something like English teaching, consulting, marketing, design, whatever.
323
There's demand here and almost no barrier to entry.
324
Often people are going to look to you as an expert for being a foreigner.
325
You want to start a brick and mortar business?
326
Lots of people do that too.
327
Rent for a small storefront in a good location, you know, $300 to $600 a month is often what you're paying.
328
Compare that to like $3 ,000 to $30 ,000 a month in any American, Australian or Canadian city.
329
I know expats here running coffee shops, bars, restaurants, hotels, tour companies, e -commerce brands, consulting firms,
330
yes, YouTube channels, coaching businesses, import -export, right?
331
They're doing it without needing venture capital or loans or massive startup costs.
332
And the bonus, when you do it, you can get your own visa and sponsor yourself.
333
Oh my goodness, think about that.
334
The low cost of living literally gives you room to experiment.
335
You can try things, you can pivot, you can fail and recover quickly.
336
At home you need minimum $50 ,000, $100 ,000, a business loan to even think about starting something.
337
Plus if you're doing this
338
while you're quitting your job you're then out the cost of living of whatever that is another $100 ,000.
339
Here you just need a laptop, an apartment, that's it.
340
Trust me Vietnam rewards hustle especially Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City.
341
If you're willing to work there's opportunity everywhere.
342
There are people looking to collaborate to build to start things.
343
Number three, let's talk about meeting people.
344
Dating and social life, in my opinion, are infinitely better here.
345
I'm just going to be blunt about this
346
because I get asked about it all the time and it's true even though people don't talk about it that much, they don't want to, yada yada.
347
If you're a western man, the reality is that dating in Vietnam is going to be better than dating in the United States or in Europe.
348
Not because of any weird fetish reasons or anything like that
349
because the dating culture here is just healthier right more accessible
350
people actually talk to each other in person they don't hide behind apps they're not jaded
351
and cynical they're not transactional or playing games traditional gender roles still exist here
352
which some people love some people maybe hate
353
but at least everyone knows where they stand yeah things are
354
clear as day women people are going to be very upfront
355
here about expectations about what they want from the relationship what their goals are
356
and they're going to tell you up front right away on the first date.
357
The social life in general is just better and more straightforward.
358
People go out they sit at cafes for hours they drink
359
beer on sidewalks at beaches they invite you to do things they play games
360
and sports actively openly there's no we should hang out sometimes
361
that never happens texting bullshit right people are actually following through
362
because they're going out to events and you're automatically interesting here just by bringing your story.
363
As the foreigner, as a native English speaker, as someone who comes from away,
364
you have perspectives that people want to hear as long as you integrate and talk and do activities with locals.
365
Compare that to being basically invisible back home or alone and isolated.
366
Compare that to dating apps where you're going to get ignored or you have to pay.
367
Compare that to spending Friday nights at a shitty dive bar in Toronto
368
or Buffalo watching sports spending hundreds of dollars on like crappy bottled pilsner.
369
The social fabric here is just more alive and if you're even slightly outgoing you will thrive.
370
Number two huge one maybe the biggest one but it's number two you actually have time to live right.
371
So here's what I didn't realize until I moved here.
372
I was spending 40 plus hours a week back home just maintaining my existence.
373
Not growing, not doing anything, just being static.
374
Commuting, grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, car maintenance, dealing with insurance companies.
375
I was part of a union based on my teaching job, you know, waiting on hold with customer service, standing in lines to renew my driver's license, sitting in traffic.
376
Buddy, it just felt like I was going backwards.
377
All of that vanishes in Vietnam, or at least it did for me.
378
No car means no commute, no maintenance, no insurance, no gas, no parking stress.
379
Gas for a motorbike costs nothing.
380
You know, no grocery shopping, no meal planning, no dishes.
381
Laundry service is a couple bucks, you know, do a pickup and drop off.
382
Need something delivered, it's going to arrive in 30 minutes.
383
The delivery fee is going to be under a dollar.
384
This is the reality of Grab here.
385
Moving here literally bought me like 30 hours a week back, every single week, before I retired.
386
Now that I'm retired, it's ridiculous, right?
387
And what do you do with that time?
388
How do you actually change your life.
389
You can do whatever you want.
390
You can build a business, you can learn a language, you can travel, you can make friends, you can create content, you can join a football league, you can rock climb, you can read, you can exercise.
391
Or like me, you can do all those things.
392
It's amazing.
393
Time is the most valuable thing you have
394
and back home in the United States is being stolen from you by systems designed to keep you busy, stressed, and broke for no fucking reason.
395
It's nuts.
396
In Vietnam, you'll have advantage and you'll be given that back through geo -arbitrage.
397
It's just how money works.
398
Okay, number one, you'll never regret it, right?
399
You're never going to regret moving to Vietnam.
400
You're going to regret it if you chicken out and you don't do it.
401
Here's the truth.
402
The biggest risk isn't moving to Vietnam and it not working out and you going home.
403
The biggest risk is sitting in your apartment for another five years thinking about it
404
when you're getting closer to the end, right?
405
Watching other people do it, telling yourself someday, and then waking up at 50, at 60, at 65, at 75, realizing you never tried.
406
Man, my father just turned 80.
407
He was in Vietnam once a year for the last three years.
408
They've been wintering here in Da Nang.
409
They loved it, okay?
410
I think it's a cap now that he's 80 because they can't do it anymore, but imagine if they'd never come.
411
They never met their grandkids.
412
I meet people all the time who visited Vietnam once, who loved it, who went back home, and then spent years regretting the fact that they didn't stay, that they didn't make it work.
413
They got pulled back into the grind, back into the routine, back into the life that wasn't making them happy in the first place.
414
You want that to be you?
415
It was me.
416
I was back in Canada for two years wondering what the hell I'd done and why it was 30 below again.
417
And when you do that, you get stuck, right?
418
Or you think you're stuck at least because you have more responsibilities and it's harder to go.
419
Every time you go back, it's harder to go.
420
There's more debt.
421
There's more excuses.
422
You know what I honestly never hear?
423
I never hear someone say, man, I really, really regret moving to Vietnam, Evan.
424
Literally no one's ever said it to me ever right people always say oh my god thank you
425
so much you're the reason i moved here i really appreciate
426
it i watched all your videos i bought your course yada yada yada all the freaking time
427
when i was walking around and antung
428
and denang people are walking up to me stopping me saying thank you
429
so much so to all of you i appreciate you thank you
430
so much and the question is ultimately are you going to be the person who does it
431
or the person who wishes you did it
432
because from someone who's on the other side of that decision already it's worth it.
433
Every risk, every uncertainty, every moment of fear before you buy the ticket it's all ultimately worth it
434
if you pull the trigger and move to Vietnam.
435
So let's talk about how you can actually make this happen because here's where most people get stuck.
436
They're convinced they want to do it, they don't know the mechanics, they don't know the steps, they don't know what to do first, second, third and so they just don't start at all.
437
That's exactly why I put everything together right the cost of living abroad membership that's linked below

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
