Discovering Maria

Hi, I'm Maria! 🌸 If you've found me on your own life journey, welcome! I'm so glad you're here. ❤️

I love creating videos that inspire and connect with people like you, but I’m doing it with just my phone and one video a week while juggling work.

My dream is to share more stories with better quality, through a new camera, a decent mic, and a laptop that can keep up with editing.

I want to reach and help more people, and your support makes this possible.

♥ Thank you for being part of my journey ♥

Today marks one year since I posted my very first video on this YouTube channel.

To this day, it’s still the most viewed one, maybe because of the topic, maybe because of the honesty you can see in my expression… or maybe a bit of both.

At the time, I felt like I had something to share, a lot to share, actually.😁

I just want to thank everyone who’s been here since that first video and everyone who has joined along the way over the past months.

Let’s keep going together. ❤️

Hey everyone, hope you're all doing well.
Just uploaded a new video, this time a Q&A answering some of your most frequent questions on the channel.

I'm also thinking about doing a live stream at some point. I'll be honest, it's still a bit scary for me; I'm quite shy. But no pressure, no expectations. We'll see how it goes. 😄

If you haven't watched the video yet, go check it out and leave your thoughts in the comments.

Have a good Sunday. ☀️

Hi 😊
I just filmed my next video. It’s going to be a Q&A.

You’ve been asking a lot of questions, so I decided to answer the most common ones and make a video about it.
Now, it's time to edit.

🔥 Vietnam is heating up; today in Hanoi it's 35ºC, feels like 45ºC... hot, hot, hot.

Have a good week. I'll see you soon.

Hi everyone, how are you?
I just wanted to thank you for the feedback on my last video. ❤️

Lately I’ve been feeling inspired, so I’ve also been creating shorter and lighter content.

Take care, and I'll see you in the next video. 😊

Hi 😊
I’ve just uploaded a new video where I share why I’ve been away for a while, due to some health issues, and talk about my experience with the healthcare system here in Hanoi.

I hope it gives you some insight and that you enjoy it .❤️

Hi😊
I uploaded a new video, and after this one you might start noticing a shift in this channel, simply because I’m changing too.

The focus will be more on where I am now, rather than where I’ve been.

Of course, it’s important to remember where we came from so we don’t repeat the same mistakes. But at some point, we have to choose what we carry with us: the lessons, the growth, and let go of the rest, especially if it brings us heavier emotions.

At the end of the day, life moves forward. We learn from the past, but we don’t let it define us.

So maybe new people will come, and some might feel like they no longer resonate with what I share, and that’s okay.

We’re all constantly evolving.😊❤️

Hi😊
I’m thinking of filming a Q&A video soon, something I’ve never done on this channel before, so it feels like the right time.

If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments.

I might include some of them in the video, along with a few questions I’ve already seen in previous comments.

❤️Have a great day❤️

Hi everyone😌

I’ve been a little quiet lately, let’s just say 2026 has come with its fair share of challenges.

At this point, I feel like I’ve earned a PhD in navigating doctors in Vietnam 😅

Sharing a few snapshots from the past few weeks with you all.

I hope you’re all doing well, I'll see you soon.❤️

Hello everyone 😊
Its funny how my last post was about january and january ended up bringing quite a few challenges.

Life is impermanent, and sometimes we have to learn how to surrender and cultivate patience along the way.

But ...there's always a vietnamese tea to lift the mood and warm the heart. 🌸😅

Have a good day.
