This is AMAZING vs. This SUCKS: The Duality of Living Abroad
"I'm leaving and I'm never coming back!" Aht Aht... you sure about that?
In this video, we're diving into two opposing tales about leaving home and living abroad. I'm opening up about what went wrong with my moves to Colombia and China because I came across two Instagram Reels that compelled me to make this video! They both jumped off the screen at me for two different reasons. Watch and find out what they were!
We love a "Keep it 💯" girlie, and this video is full of raw, honest feelings about experiences as women who dared to leave the United States of America (and Australia) to try life abroad. Which end of the spectrum are you on? Let me know in the comments!

    Please study the Vietnam history. Tet is the Vietnamese version of Chinese lunar New year. China had occupied and influenced the Vietnamese territory. The ancestral history reveals it all.

    Ooo. In the Commonwealth. Flag rights give you a citizen or subject under sed flag, the duty to ask to have the flag be “put right”. A serving member of the Army “may not be stoped in this duty” as the Army are the custodians of the National Flag. Ie If you’re flying a flag in the dark…A soldier can take it home and keep it safe.

    Hello! Love your video! I'm considering moving to China to teach. Is it easy to send money back to your U.S. bank account? Is it expensive or high-risk? It was a nightmare when I lived in Vietnam! The fees ranged from $15-45! I'm an American educator with 12 years of international teaching experience. I currently tutor students privately online. Much obliged! Also, what are the classrooms like? Do they use AC in summer and proper heating in winter? Sadly, I ask because in Vietnam, they believed too much AC was bad for your health. We were sweating like pigs and one woman nearly passed out! Thank you for taking the time to answer. BTW- I have WeChat & Xiaohungshu in case there are any groups you'd recommend to connect with other foreigners. I'm interested in Chengdu and Chongqing. Okay, okay...one more question...um...When people stare at me and take photos? I have natural hair and I'm dark-skinned. I hear this a lot unless you're Guangzhou. If so, how do you handle it? Thx! :)
