I liked it soley for Wendy rocking boot wedges while traversing a branch. Major props.
Haha exactly what I was thinking. I was super relieved to see that lady grab onto her
I was thinking the same!
lol I would not be able to do that, props to her
was thinking of the same thing.
I think it's a poor fashion decision to walk around Vietnamese countryside with wedges.
Wow Wendy. This video was honestly my favorite video of yours that you've ever made. I've been following your blog for several years and it brings me so much joy to see how much you've accomplished and how far you've come and the fact that you're using those experiences to further your knowledge of the world. You really are an inspiration.
This video was eye opening and I didn't expect to get so much goodness from it. Thank you for bringing up some important issues as well :D
+Wengie It was a very nice video.
When you are feeling stressed out at work or school and you feel that life is being so unfair to you just remember that there are people in this world living in places like Vietnam that are filled with poverty and hardships.The power of social media can inspire and teach you about the daily struggles that these people are going through everyday. Your life struggles in a first world country pales in comparison to those living in poverty in third world countries.Thankyou for this amazing and touching video.
Vietnam may not look perfect but when you explore deep inside the country you will understand its beauty, the magnificence that it holds, the adventures that it offers. I'm proud to be Vietnamese. Thank you Wendy for making such a breathtaking video!

I'm Vietnamese, you've been my role model for so long, this video touched my heart more then you'll ever know.
That was a beautiful video! It made me miss Vietnam so much, thankyou for sharing this
Wendy this was an incredibly beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your travels with us.
Ashley Udoh It was beautiful and so good of Wendy to show the good and the bad. I'm glad she linked how we can help the human trafficking situation. Smile!

I have to say, I was just planning on watching a snip of this video and then move on before bed, but I got absolutely captivated. Beautifully done, and such a beautiful country, and people.
Wendy! It was so wonderful to meet and spend QT with you, and thank you for including Pacific Links Foundation and me in your video diary! Please come back soon--I'll take you up to Lao Cai to visit our shelter for trafficking survivors and we can also check out the northern food and fashion scenes :) Chuc mung nam moi! xx MIMI
I'm so happy that you didn't just travel to Vietnam 🇻🇳 to show the beautiful cities and culture but you also explored real social issues that need to be tackled and that I love. Thank you 😊
So beautiful. I'm visiting Vietnam in June for a month and this video helped me realize I take a lot for granted living here in the states. And I'm really exited to learn more when I visit!!!! Awesome video!!:D
+Keanu Aupiu welcome to Vietnam ^^
Nice to meet you in Vietnam
yesh . me too
Incredibly beautiful video!
We are going to Vietnam this December.
Vietnam is such a beautiful country with an intriguing history and delicious cuisine.
Wow that video make me cry beautiful
me too :)
Because its propaganda designed to do that.
HoneyBlondeOutspoken if so, then justifiably so
HoneyBlondeOutspoken and you are an american i guess? why are americans so stupied? O.o
MrX Unknown
I am an American but one who reads and researches. And this makes ME "stupid?" I'd say the source of "stupid" aka as willful ignorance, is coming from the source of ad hominem attacks instead of facts.
This video made me miss travelling so much , i wish i was there in Vietnam visiting all those beautiful places and eating all that delicious food .
It's such an eye opener to think about the gamble that people all over the world experience when they pursue what they believe to be an opportunity that will improve their lives and that of their loved ones. For every one that makes it to school or to a legit work assignment, how many end up in less fortunate scenarios like the sex trade?
trinigerian Such a sad truth you state. Women and children are exploited everywhere. :-(
Wendy, you were so missed. But each time you go away and then come back, I love how you always bring back a piece of gold to share....thanks beautiful, smiles
I looooooved this travel diary, these women, people you encountered are strong, they make a meaning out of their lives.
I'm kind of envious you got to hang out with Kathy Uyen, she's amazing! I love Vietnam and cannot wait to go back.
That lady talking about the sex trade... I want to hear more. Also where can we help fund her efforts ?
No worries I saw it in the link. Thank you. I will share with my organization
That smile at 7:35 got to me. It was so endearing. I interpreted it as a sad but hopeful smile. Living life to it's best. Thank you again Wendy for opening up the world and sharing it with us. Definitely took everything in to remember.
My VietNam is so beautiful and Thank You Wendy for letting everybody to know it
this is one of the most beautiful videos i've seen, especially on vietnam! idky i felt like tearing up at the end. i have ancestry in vietnam and watching this makes me want to go back and see how my relatives used to live and to embrace my culture. than u dear wendy
This was amazing to watch. I was born in the United States but speak Vietnamese fluently and remain very culturally intact. I only visited Vietnam one time in 2006. Would absolutely love to go back now. I am sure the country is so different than what it used to be when my parents left as VN War refugees.
I miss Vietnam. Haven't been back in 13 years. It has sure changed a lot. But omg your shoes! I can't believe you were able to walk up that bamboo poll with it on! I miss your videos Wendy!!
This video almost made me cry. I am Vietnamese but I have never been to Vietnam so this video let me have a glimpse of the place where my father was born
Hi Wendy, I actually live in Saigon and have been here for the majority of my life. I've met Mimi before, and heard her give talks about the sex trade at International Schools around the city. She is truly an inspiration and I hope you work with her in the future. Human trafficking in Asia is not an issue that is discussed nearly enough back in the States. This video was really amazing for me to watch because I got to see my city and my home through your eyes and it's nice to see that we both appreciate its beauty. It was so strange to see you in my favourite restaurants and cafes when I'm so used to the setting on your video being California! Glad you enjoyed your trip here in Vietnam and hope you come back soon. x
Where did.you go?i miss you Wendy....n of course lookbooks.come back
I hope you do more videos like this!! This was incredible, thanks for sharing!!
You do everything so beautifully Wendy.
Wendy you're just amazing! Thank you for sharing this beautiful journey :)
Coming from a developing country myself, I really recognize, in Vietnam's situation, the problem these countries have in common; and I really admire the fact that you chose to explore more than just what was beautiful in your country but also what needs to change as well. I really enjoyed this video.
Please come back Wendy, we all miss you..=D
This is such an inspiring video. I'm glad you took the time to both show how breathtaking Vietnam can be and to talk about human trafficking. It's an issue that gets overlooked a lot by the media.
this is place where worlds best people are living....india loves u my brothers and sisters...
OK no joke. Whoever produced this video deserves
his/her weight in Vietnamese noodles. Excellent editing, writing
and narration. Thank you for sharing your time and your talent.
Missed your videos
Wendy, I loved your video. It is very warmhearted, interesting and inspiring. I am impressed with the way you displayed the real Vietnam, instead of showing us what tourist go to when they visit. It was very eye opening when you spoke to that lady about the human traffickers. I hope that the people who are able to do something to help with that kind of crime are really working hard at finding away to stop it. Thank you for sharing that video.
Wendy, this video has touched me beyond words. I'm so glad to see you get in touch with your culture. I can especially relate to those youths in Vietnam because I was one of them. I grew up in the countryside with rice paddies just like the ones you saw. Although I was young and didn't understand at the time, as I grow older, I realize the sacrifices my parents made to get me where I am today. I am so proud of where I came from and I hope that when I have children, they will understand too.
hi, I miss your videos... :(
Just in less than 8 min you made me think about my childhood back in vietnam. The beauty of our country. Cam on love & thanks for sharing your awesome trip.. Stay beautiful nguoi dep
I just wanted to say I absolutely loved this video. I like how it was educational AND beautiful. It talked about sex trafficking in Vietnam, the floating markets, food, and it was just another nice video showing how wonderful people are, like learning about that family who hopes to come to California for more oppurtunities. You are a beautiful soul, Wendy :)
I went to Vietnam 3 years ago, it was wonderful. This video brought me back, thank you Wendy
I'm From Vietnam 😀🇻🇳And it is exactly how you explained it.It fun at lunar new year too,A lot of the foods are great too.
Great video!! Loved getting a glimpse into Vietnam. So special!
I went 3 months ago and I still really miss Vietnam. It's great that you got to go, too!
I'm also Vietnamese! This makes me appreciate my country a lot more. Human trafficking is definitely an eye opener. Beautiful video Wendy. Thank you for sharing your trip to Vietnam with us!
It's amazing to see people still remember their roots. I am Vietnamese too, and I love every single piece of it; even it's good or bad, it's still a part of me. Thank you for sharing your love towards Vietnam with people in the world. Hope you can keep up with your good work and great style, and I hope to see you someday. Love
Thank you for sharing. I'm going to Vietnam this June with my Manicurist in town. I love the food here so I know I'll love the food there even more. Looking forward to learning about the country, language and culture while I'm out there.
Welcome to Vietnam ! contact to us for any information about travel to our country
Vietnam is a beautiful country with beautiful culture, food and people. This video is lovely, thanks for posting this!
Wendy, we would be blessed to hear your life story.
this made me cry... and this is why we love you, Wendy. You are such a great and amazing woman, you are my role model.
The harsh living conditions in Vietnam are the reason why my parents left the country. I hope I can somehow help my country in the future.
It's definitely rougher than it seems, and everywhere I go on motorbike or walking, I look around at all of these people or struggle to survive in such a poor country with a broken down communist government, well at least this part I'm visiting. I'm on vacation with my family, and we stay in this big freakin house with 8 floors or sthing, but it's hard to imagine what other people are going through while I'm lounging here...
Kimberly Nguyen Yea, but let's look on the bright side guys. If you take what Jim said to account, Vietnam is South East Asia's quickest growing economy which is a pretty good thing for its citizens (assuming that the government doesn't take all benefits from the growth). What I have seen on my last trip (2014) is way better than when I went to Vietnam when I was 10 (7 years ago).
Jacob Nguyen Yea, the best you can really do is actually travel there and share your wealth the best you can. What I usually do when I visit is give away school supplies and clothes for children in elementary school. I also give away bags of rice for needy people in the area surrounding my family's house.
***** Move out of your moms house already!
Jacob Nguyen Vietnam in 2015 is completely different from the Vietnam your parents left. It is still a corrupt, developing country ruled by a dictatorial regime, but it was also one of the world's fastest growing economies for 20 years. Vietnamese-American kids only get a very 1 sided gloom and doom version of how the country has been doing. Most of the population in Vietnam are young and optimistic, and there is constant construction and growth everywhere.
Vietnam is so beautiful without a war. the people, the culture is so rich. Very interesting country and people.
Omg Wendy! I love how inspiring you are, not only do you inspire me because of your life story, but it bleeds through you how humble and amazing of a person you are honestly... thank you for sharing this with us.
I miss your videos. :(
Thank you so much for sharing this, Wendy! I was just in Vietnam for the first time this summer to volunteer with Pacific Links. They do amazing work, I'm so glad you met with Mimi and can raise awareness to this serious human trafficking problem in Vietnam. Watching this video brings back so many memories - especially all the amazing people, delicious food, and floating market!!
im vietnamese myself, can't wait to visit my parents' hometown one day. what a good inspirational video Wendy, thanks for sharing!
This is beautiful. Knowing the culture and reality of a city through the eyes of local people. Interactions in harmony. Simple and beautiful :)
Very moved and impressed with this travel diary. Major props. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for showing me the nice Vietnam. I am not Vietnamese, however, I love the food, the nice view of that country. I have been there twice.
Such a wonderful informative way to share such a beautiful people & country! Thank you very much for sharing this enlighten experience.
This was an amazing adventure!! Thank you for sharing this experience!! I want to go back and continue this adventure!!
Really inspiring wendy! I really appreciated that the main focus of this trip video was meeting people, people who tried to make a positive difference of their life or the life of others... Raising awareness of the situation of some Vietnamese girls too. Love it :)
Although it wasn't the same kind of cinematography and camera work James (MM) used to provide, the narrative of the video is beautiful. Way, way better than the last couple of advertisement videos that Wendy released. This is awesome. More of this, Wendy!!
A wonderful video. A true storyteller.
Where did she go? Why doesn't she make anymore videos?
Wendy i dont understand why u stopped doing the videos you re si good! Come back!!!
such a beautiful story, i bring tears and joy to my soul. it sad to see what people have to go through especially women just so their families can have a comfortable life. its such a beautiful country i would love to visit one day.
I honestly love how the Vietnamese cuisine is healthy yet flavourable! Lovely video :)
this almost made me cry and realize again how much i want to know my mothercountry! i hope i can realize a long term stay in the future!!
Im glad you enjoyed your trip in Vietnam! I actually spent 2 months there in the summer of 2014 and it was an interesting experience. It was hard to get used to at first, especially since I'm so used to the American life. But it's quite a sight to see; there's a lot of interesting culture and night life is so lively. best part for me is probably learning how to drive a motor bike XD
Wendy, it's so great to see you visit Vietnam. Thank you for sharing it.
Incredible! Thank you, Wendy for sharing this short film with us. I learned something new about Vietnam Such an amazing story from everyone point of view.
I do not comment a lot on YT, but your videos always have some added value. Thank you for sharing and taking advantage of your audience in a positive way. I really appreciate your input.
Wendy, this was a lovely video and you are maturing into such a lovely young lady. It's been a pleasure to watch you and witness this beautiful transformation. I see so much potential in you and I have a feeling you will do a lot of good things for a lot of people. Wishing you all the best of everything in your life.
The last time I was in Vietnam was more than four years ago. I miss it so much, the smell, the atmosphere, the people. This video brought me back there :) im viet btw
Great videos, missing you ,Wendy
Such a big world out there with so much to see! Thank you for sharing this beautiful video with us! 💕
Thank you for sharing your experience Wendy. I hope to visit North, Mid & South Vietnam with my mom to learn more about my roots.
I love Vietnam so much, proud Vietnamese girl! :) Been there when I was 2, and traveled there for vacation when I was 12. Can't wait to go back again. #VietGirls ❤️❤️
What a beautiful video. Thanks for sharing and putting such great work into your videos!
I hope Wendy makes videos again....I miss her so much! And I need some inspiration
Can this video get any better? So inspirational so eye opening so beautiful. Well done Wendy
Great video! Like it very much. I like the style and your interviews. Thumbs up and greetings fro Berlin/Germany
Viet Nam is your hometown. As a fan of you and your fan, I hope you'll love Vietnam
I'm glad to hear that you can speak Vietnamese!
Thank you Wendy for sharing, this was so inspirational. I work with victims of domestic violence, and I draw a lot out of you video that will help me today and along the way. Peace and Blessings!
Vietnam is beautiful to visit. I like to explore most of the food in Vietnam.
I love Vietnam with it culture and beautiful people. I want to go back soon and visit my grandparents and cousins
This video was beautiful! I haven't been back to my Vietnam in ages
Beautiful video, country and experience, thanks for sharing...We do not learn in a classroom, we learn traveling and getting to know other cultures, we open our eyes to what the world really is...beautiful. I follow you in instagram had no idea you made such interesting videos.
Such a beautiful video Wendy, it made me so proud to see where my parents came from. I have been to visit Vietnam a few times but have never seen that side of it before.
Thank you for allowing us to see Viet Nam through your eyes.
This is my favorite video from you, that is very nice to see vietnamese youtuber actually do a video, speak, and enjoy the country! I very like your video and how you get along with people live in countryside 👍👍👍👍
Hi Wendy! Just discovered your RUclips channel not long ago. Thank you-you are such a DELIGHT to watch. Oh yeah, thank you for featuring our previous homeland of Vietnam to the world Wendy. More videos please.
Talented woman to walk on a log bridge with high heels! I think I wouldn't mind trading a simple life in the country over my large home in SFO. I miss being in a country where life is simpler. There's a innocent soulful charm to it.
So beautiful, Wendy!
Love Love Loved your video Wendy! I visited Vietnam about one year ago, and it make me remember all the beautiful things about the country. Very interesting and sad to hear about the trafficking situation - definitely an eye opening video!
Traveling in style, awesome!
Wow I cried buckets. Beautiful heart, Wendy. Namaste
