🇹🇭 Thailand WON the poll, thank you for everyone who voted!
Bangkok is officially our next destination 🎉

Before we head there, we’re uploading a new episode :

John & Juliet have lived outside the U.S. for 16 years and break down what healthcare actually looks like abroad…

Japan: 3 weeks in the hospital for a knee replacement: under $300

Vietnam: Why people choose to do their dental work outside the US

Malaysia: full “over 60” medical screening, easily available and affordable

It’s one of those interviews that makes you rethink what’s possible when you step outside the U.S. system.

Americans Living Abroad

We’ve been sharing life in Da Nang, Vietnam, but Southeast Asia has so much more to offer.

If we could explore one place next, which would you want to see?

Americans Living Abroad

We just hit 15,000 subscribers, and it still feels unreal.

This channel started just two months ago with a simple idea:
share real stories of Americans building new lives abroad.

Seeing how many of you connect with these interviews, and hearing that people we’ve featured get stopped on the street because viewers recognize them, has been incredibly rewarding.

Da Nang has been an amazing place to start, but this is only the beginning. We’re excited to keep sharing honest conversations about life abroad, community, healthcare, visas, and what it really looks like to start over in a new country.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
If there’s a topic, or story you’d like us to cover next, let us know below 👇

Americans Living Abroad

In our latest interview, Michael (72) talks about why he and his wife didn’t move to Vietnam just for cheap rent or low prices.

For them, it’s about:

Finding community in Da Nang (Sunday coffee groups and food meetups)

What healthcare is actually like here (real prices + cancer screening + dental)

Why Vietnam might not be a “forever home” and the hard truth about aging abroad

If you’ve ever thought about retiring abroad, or just trying life in Vietnam for a few years, this one goes way deeper than cost of living breakdowns.

👉 What would matter more for you, lower cost of living, or stronger community?

🦃 Happy Thanksgiving! And… We Hit 4,000 Subscribers! 🙏
Thank you all so much for the support. We started this channel just a month ago with one simple idea: share real stories of Americans building new lives abroad.
Today’s video is one of the most powerful ones yet.

We sat down with Frank, a 62-year-old American who told us he felt like he was “waiting to die” back in L.A. A year ago, he took a chance, moved to Da Nang, and everything changed.

Now he spends his days teaching English and Chinese to local Vietnamese, building friendships, and even investing in the future of Da Nang.
It’s an inspiring reminder that it’s never too late to start over.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. ❤️
New video is live now!
