I feel like you are my friend. Thank you for this video very interesting about you and good idea to make a summary in description. I think people love how friendly you are in this video. You are our friend !
Aw thank you so much for the kind comment. :) This is what keeps me motivated to make more videos. I just checked out your channel as well and it's AWESOME! Keep up the great work! :)
very cool! just found your channel as I was researching VN. Greetings from Coronado, and I work @ USD and go my BSEE @ SDSU - not sure if you are a Torero, Aztec or a Triton but its AWESOME to see so many folks from SD with YT channels. "Where's Poppy" is also a cool one. Looking forward to learning more so THANK YOU for the vids!! Live the Dream. Peace
Whoa whoa whoa, didn't even realize you hit 5k! Congratulations! I just learned so much about you from this, I had no idea you lived abroad for so long. You're a seasoned vet! And yes, I would love a video about how your mom escaped Vietnam...that sounds like a great story!
Hello Allison RUclips recommended this video and I'm glad I watched it!! Love your KISS life story. Like yourself, I am Eurasian(Vietnamese). Like your mother, my family and I escape Vietnam as well. When I was a child, people could not guess my ethnicity and I would get comments like, "are you Mexican, Latin, Native American, Filipino, etc" I used to get upset because I am proud being Vietnamese. Then, I realized. Why get upset? If people from other ethnic groups believed I am of that group, opportunities opens for me. Keep making great videos😁😊😉
cigarfeeler Aw thank you!!! Yeah, no one ever guesses I’m Vietnamese, but I’m proud of my ethnicity. :) Thank you so much for watching and I hope you’re doing well over there!
@@AlisonLinh I watched your awesome videos of Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, and of course Vietnam!!!😉 Alison, you are a true free spirited amazing Vietnamese woman with a passion to live life to the fullest ❤!!! Oh, how rude of me to not formally introduce myself. My name is Alexander Tran.
Great to hear again from you Alison! I just thought you were american/vietnamese from SD haha. Thanks for the clarification! When did you live in Hawaii and how did you like it? Would you like to live there again one day? Two of my favorite places are Hawaii and SE Asia.
Thanks for your info. Love your videos!👍 I also fled Vietnam in 1978 and stayed in Hong Kong refugee camp for two years before resettling in Vancouver Canada. Looking forward to more of your videos. Thanks!
Yes, the Asian food here is awesome, it's worth to check it out😋. There's also a ton of outdoor activities that you can do all year round in Vancouver. Btw, congrats on reaching 5K subscribers!👍👏 Let’s keep it rolling!
Hi! Love your content and can't wait to see what's more to come! Can you include some dieting and workout? You're in great shape and was hoping to get some tips as well. Thank you!
Hi! Thanks for the kind comment. :) I'm posting a new video very soon! I actually don't really diet or work out much. I just try to eat healthy when I can and try to stay active with things I love like yoga, dancing, and hiking. I usually use RUclips for most my yoga classes. Check out Yoga By Candace if you are interested in trying it out!
Hey Alison!! Great video, thanks for sharing!! Welcome back to the USA, gonna stick around for awhile or hitting the road again? Your mother must be a beauty, would love to hear her story, she must be around my age 55. Thanks again, take care!!
Thank you Kevin! Yeah, I don't know how long I will be living here, but I know that I never stay in one place for very long. SE Asia will always be a place I go back to. You take care as well! :)
Hi I’m Vietnamese Canadian born moving to Vietnam in June. Can you recommend any schools in Saigon that teaches Vietnamese with teachers that speak English?? My Vietnamese is horrible!
Not sure why people comment on you to move back to Asia. It's your life lol. To them the States may be familiar and boring and traveling over in Asia may be exciting but you seem to have the opposite experience (as in you've traveled all your life it seems). To you, starting a career is new and something you haven't done before and that's always worth doing. You just have a different definition of what "new experience" means than most others :)
Christopher Nguyen I appreciate the insight Christopher. Very thoughtful and spot on. Living in America is a new experience for me and I'm loving every minute of it. :) I do miss Asia too though! There's pros and cons to living anywhere in the world and having different life styles. As someone who grew up moving around so much, I have a feeling it might be hard to settle down. We'll see though! :)
Love your video, look like you took time and effort into them. I’m also Vietnamese living on the east side in Bellevue, lots of scenic destinations in Washington. Maybe you can do RUclips live ?
I am your subscriber already. I would like you to make a video about how your relatives escaped from the war in Vietnam. I like your videos a lot for practicing my English.
Gilalm1224 Thank you! Okay, I'll definitely make a video on that one day when I get my family together. My mom has 10 siblings so it's difficult, but I would love to hear some of their side of the story as well. :)
Good video! 👍 Welcome back to the US. 🇱🇷 I actually prefer for your videos to be longer, 10-15 minutes. 😜 I am curious to know how your mom fled Vietnam. How old is she? My parents fled to Hong Kong first, where my brother was born in 1980. Then we immigrated to Seattle, Washington where I was born in 1981. Then we moved to Texas when I was around 3 years old, and we lived here ever since.
Sang L. Thanks Sang!! Haha I appreciate you saying that. I always get worried that my longer videos will get boring. My mom was only 9 years old but she's the second youngest out of 10 siblings.
I visited Seattle once in 2001 when my cousin graduated high school. I should have visited them more often. I see that my cousins are often hiking there. I really want to go back and go hiking with them.
r u planning to move back to vietnam or some other asian country like korea or japan? it can get boring again in san diego or seattle as much as i like san diego or seattle.
haha yes I am planning on moving back eventually. I should have mentioned that in my video! I'm not sure when or how, but I know that I can't stay put for long. :)
Alison Linh , back to Vietnam? Take me with you ,lol. I have not been back for 10 years and eager to go back soon. I miss street foods and the fresh seafood there. Love your videos , especially the Vietnam videos. It reminded me when I was there for 2 months , ten years ago. I can see lot of building structure changes since I’ve been there.
Anh Nguyen My Vietnamese is pretty much non existent haha. I tried learning while living in Vietnam, but I didn't pick up as much as I wanted to. Since I lived in other countries my whole life, I always tried to learn the language of the country I'm living in.
haha yeah it's definitely a city, but it's very small compared to Shanghai. Everyone knew each other there. I wish I lived in Shanghai! That was probably my favorite city in China.
I ate lots of great things in Vietnam! However, I am mostly vegetarian and I don't want to try dog meat. Dog meat is also not as common as you might think.

By the way, you have the exact same name as my friend haha. I didn't realize Kiet was a common name.
Alison Linh haha, you can have 2 friends named Kiet. I’m only i-90 or 520 bridge away.
You’re so cute.yes I would love to hear about your mom and how she escaped Vietnam 😊😍

The name of my older friends ' daughter is also Linh. The mother is American. My neighbor 's dog is called Baxter, too.
Hi Alison, please ask your Mom to relive her story as to how she escaped Vietnam. I always find these stories so interesting. Thank you in advance.

SmokeWeapon Online Headshop oh cool! I lived in Xiamen, China. It's a small beach town across the water from Taiwan. Have you been there?
yeah, Xiamen is nice too. it aint a town, i would say it is a city XD. was there in Aug 29 too
haha yeah it's definitely a city, but it's very small compared to Shanghai. Everyone knew each other there. I wish I lived in Shanghai! That was probably my favorite city in China.
