Why she sold everything, left America, and moved to Vietnam.

To her and a number other oversea Vietnamese, Vietnam is just a place for a long, long vacation. Same as living there - but one can enjoy more with the mindset that this is my long vacation. In terms of dating, there was an expression for her situation "bringing woods back the forest"

Very interesting interview. Not sure why so many haters are commenting here. Life is a choice and Kavi is making a choice living her life the way she wants. Chill out people. I love these kinds of interviews with Vietkieu living in Vietnam. Please have more videos. Also bro, please let the interviewee answer fully before cutting her off bro. Nice clip.

Just FYI, they all make money in the US and live in the SEA. It is rare that someone just move to VN or another country and speak highly about working and living there unless you have your open your own business in VN and even as that, there are some issue even for the local. It's better to have option, get a good income and asset in the US and then live in VN. In case if it doesn't work out, you have option to come back. US has it issue, VN also has it issue. I wouldn't put everything in single basket.

old topics. bottom line: two types of repatriating VK: old, 1st generation VK immigrants, who have the financial means to retire in Vietnam comfortably. They don't have to worry about making a living. Te second is young/foreign born VK like those in this series: for a variety of reasons, from personal growth/identity to escapement, to adventuring... they explore a new path of life. Ultimately, if they have to worry about making a living, then it is obvious that Vietnam economic opportunities are not as good as those in developed economies, and they have to make that decision whether it is worth it. Nothing wrong and some will find happiness and a niche of life, others will move on - or rather move back. It's all good as a phase of personal growth.

Her average hourly wage is $25 and the locals got paid less than $2 an hour, that's all I have to say.

My fiancee moved to the US with her kids because the rest of her family was here. I know her life and her kids lives were better in Saigon than in the US. She was a teacher in Saigon and although her pay was low, she had huge respect from students, parents, and administration. She lost all of that here in the US.

That’s a great decision. Living in America is so hectic and stressful. I can’t wait to move to Cambodia.

This interview is really interesting. I love how young Viet Kieu have other perspectives about living in Viet Nam.

Good read. Thanks for posting. I am a Filipino American who is born and raised in San Francisco. I have a Vietnamese wife who lives in Phan Thiet. I have been to Saigon HCMC and Phan Thiet two times this year for a total of 4 weeks. I have thought about moving to Vietnam and I always wondered what it would feel like living in Vietnam while working remotely at my San Francisco based position in the US. Now, I know. I can validate every word that Kavi is saying about the US. Thanks for sharing your first hand experience Kavi. Much appreciated.

Her comments about Vietnamese people not hussling to make a living, is so privileged. You live in luxury while other people only present positives to you on the surface. She's really living in a bubble.

Thanks for keeping it real. Cheers, from Canada

I was thinking of moving to VIET NAM too, but I thought: air pollution in Vietnam is the worst, food poisoning is the normal, the water is very polluted. Traffic is nightmare. Health care is the worse ( go to the any hospital and look for yourself. The government often cut off water and electricity due to shortage. The weather is extremely hot and when it rains, flooded everywhere. The water from the sewer smell very bad. Don’t let these bad things stop you from moving to VIETNAM. good luck.

Kavi is cool. Enjoy where you are. Great interview.

very interesting to hear her perspective on various topics.

please do more interview with second/third generation vietnamese american that moved/travel to vietnam, i love to hear about their observation of the difference between culture, people and society norm/function

Great interview, she gave her honest opinions and gave a lot of info that will help me make my travel plans clearer. I have health concerns with food, water and air pollution. I agree with her mom and probably Vietnam is an ideal destination to visit but probably not the place to live permanently. She seems to be really well centered and a delightful person to meet and hang out with. 🙏😊

Very interesting interview, thanks!

Awesome interview ❤😊😊

Great video! Thank you Kavi for being so candid about your experience.
