Why I Stopped Teaching in Vietnam/ Pros & Cons of Working Abroad
I made a video a few days ago on my experience living and working abroad. I wanted to follow that up with this video talking about Vietnam in particular and my time there. I was not there for very long, when I decided to go back to Thailand. There is a reason for this which I discuss in the video.
Hi everyone and welcome to my DTube channel! I am a 20 year old cyclist, traveler, runner, vegan and adventure seeker from Cape Town, South Africa. If you are reading this it means you are meeting me at an exciting year in my life, which will be filled with bicycle touring and lots of traveling.
There is a quote which says "Life is either a daring adventure, or it's nothing at all." That is how I can best describes 2018 and if I can help it (which I now I can) the years to come.
In July I will fly to Paris to travel Europe and watch the Tour de France. I know that a lot of my followers on DTube and Steemit are from Europe, so it would be great to meet some of you while I am there! I am already in contact with a few people and I can't wait to see you guys there. You can check out the video: here if you want more details on the DTube Paris meetup I am planning. Thanks again everyone!

Great post @onetakeaday Vietnam is a highly negative zone am glad you know how to explore with a positive mind set I've also subscribe and tried to up vote but am getting an error hopefully you thumbs up this comment and subscribe to my channel too
I'm glad to see someone tell it like it is and give both sides of the story, plenty of South African's have been shilling this dream of working abroad and making cash if you're going in with that mindset i think you're probably going to get a real slap in the face with real world dynamics
I'm planning to check out Vietnam very soon for holiday, how did you find the standard of living?
Thanks for the feedback. When you say standard of living are you referring to the average Vietnamese person or that of a foreigner who goes over? If you are a foreigner going over there with some money it is easy to find a good place to stay, good food etc. Plus if you are going to tourist locations such as Ho Chi Minh or Da Nang I’m sure you can find 5 star of everything if that fits your budget.
For the average Vietnames person however money is not that big of a deal. They live in very average houses and go month to month without a worry about saving or buying this or that. Of course there are exceptions to this but in general this is what I observed.
I meant as a foreigner and thanks for answering my question. I met a few Aussies and NZ's in Thailand a few weeks ago who had just come from Vietnam and they gave it rave reviews, so I was just interested in getting a second opinion.
