Follow along on my adventures on IG: instagram.com/heydaniejay. I also forgot to mention, that my gym membership is about 50USD/month and includes the gym, pool, and classes like yoga!
Hey Danie! I loved the video. I "solo traveled" for 6 weeks through Vietnam when I was 20. I bought a motorbike and went North to South and I've dreamed of going back since. I hope you make more vids about your life there!
I immediately recognized the area from my own travels through Vietnam when you showed your view from your apartment, and that felt so cool! But then you got to Tom's Cafe and then I really lost my mind! I feel like I'm there all over again watching your video. Keep up the adventures!
Aaaaahh!!! I loooooved this video! I loved watching your routine and you showed us so much of Hanoi! I could have binged watched a full day of vlogs like this from you. Thank you!
I just discovered your video of my country. I subscribed immediately to follow your adventures. I am Vietnamese who lives in Canada 🇨🇦. I am interested to know foreigners activities in Vietnam 🇻🇳. There are some Americans who live there from the north to the south. Some young Americans can speak Vietnamese. They mixed with the locals and enjoyed their lives there. Thank you for sharing this video. Take care and stay safe !
Thanks so much for the kind words! Yes I speak a bit of Vietnamese…but it’s gotten worse being gone for two years when 2020 hit. I’ll definitely be doing more vlogs!
I have previously taught English online to students that live in Hanoi! Wonderful students- I miss them!! Seems like an amazing place. How long have you been living there? Have you visited the railway that goes in between buildings? I heard they have cafes right along the tracks!
So interesting. I love ❤️ Vietnam. But I’ve been in Taiwan and it’s unbelievable how there’s almost no theft here. People leave their helmets sitting on bikes all the time and not locked up
Oh that is amazing! Yes helmets and mirrors get stolen all the time…most people drive with no mirrors because they get stolen so often. Thankfully I have both of mine still 😂
This was awesome! I would watch more! I love the presentation of what you filmed and what you showed us! Thank you Dani! Also, sorry for your loss. Hope all is well 🙏🏻
Ohh yeah you gotta rent from more local spots! They can be harder to find though for sure! I rent from Minhs Motorbikes. I’ve always had a good experience with them. They are a bit far from the tourist areas tho, so you’d need to take a taxi to get there.
First time viewer. You are living such a joyous life. I would love to visit Vietnam again since they have lifted the visa requirements. What kind of work do you do?
love your videos and interactions in Vietnam. What would you know about the outskirts of the city? Safety, speaking english etc. Im surprised how cheap the food is out there! seems like you can get a full meal for under $3 and all looks healthy!
Sounds like your rent is a lot cheaper than what I paid in Shanghai, but Shanghai and Beijing can be a bit expensive compared to other Chinese cities.i'm in Cal USA now
Yes, Vietnam is definitely cheaper than China. At least in the cities for sure! Is there still crazy lockdown in China? Glad you’re back in the states and not stuck inside an apartment!
@@DanieJay Lockdowns are still going on in Shanghai and Beijing and other Chinese cities from what I read and hear from friends living in China still. I'm very glad too that I didn't get stuck or locked in my home and not even able to go out for exercise outside. From what I've been reading and seeing on RU-vid in China life is beyond Gov control Food is hard to come by there and I can't imagine if I needed to see a dentist during lockdowns
@@DanieJay So, how long have you lived in Vietnam and are masks required everywhere there? You're from US, right? On a work or tourist visa? Just curious. I was on a tourist visa first when I arrived in Shanghai 12 years ago and then got a working visa. Was an English teacher/trainer there and part time actor too..Did a lot of crazy things and life there wasn't too bad. Made a lot of friends and saw a lot of places there too. Lived in city center not far from The Bund and People;s Square areas.
I am going to Vietnam with top deck soon, I’m from New Zealand. It’s amazing to see what it is like living there. Food in NZD would be 20-50 cents. Seems many people can speak English?
You are living the life that many of us would love to trade places with you :) Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for your sharing, I think you can rent a different type of motorcycle with bigger built-in storage unit for your helmet and other stuffs/belongings. They will cost a little bit more rental fee though.
Cá Koi nhìn đẹp quá ♥️ Hà Nội nhiều cảnh đẹp quá tuyệt vời 👍 cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ video hay và thú vị.chúc bạn sức khỏe an lành và tràn đầy hạnh phúc ♥️🌹🤝💐♥️
To rent or not to rent! Renting a scooter for $35/month (about 1 buck/day) is ... dirt cheap! What can we buy with $1 nowadays? I guess a dollar can stretch farther only in Vietnam!
Cool! I didn't know that you live in Vietnam) I also live in Vietnam(Hoi An), and I found your channel just few day ago, and I find your tips on shorts are very useful! Thanks a bunch! P.S. If you will be in Da Nang/Hoi An, feel free to contact me, and we can have a lunch or something)
Hey Danie 👋 Been following you for a year or so now. Cool to see you made it to 'Nam. I've been living here for 4+ years. Hanoi's a good choice. Are you getting a job here so you can stay or just traveling? Stay safe on the road
Are you there for work? Temporary living right? Cause i would expect ones to buy motor bikes etcc if you decide to live there forever and on your product at home seems temporary
Hey! So for me, I used a realtor's website and then asked if they could text the owner and make a deal for a shorter term rental. BUT in the post, I've always used facebook groups, like Hanoi Massive Housing.
I'm visiting for a month. Are there tips you'd care to share? Ive never been so a little anxious. I want to be somewhere more in nature than the city city
I love Pho I can eat that everyday anyway the cost of living is so high here now days in Canada I want to move to southeast Asia so bad I wish I had a job that is over the internet that way can make good money while living affordable there. My best friend is originally from Laos and he is thinking about going back but he has his kids here but they are all grown but I told him if he is going to let me know because I am ready for a change.
Any recommendations for the wifi in places like this? Teaching can sometimes be a struggle with their wifi. Do you know of anything that can help with wifi? :)
Hi Danie! Very nice video - thanks for sharing you experience. We just spend a whole week in Hanoi - Tay Ho - trying to find an apartment. We found the process quite hard, only 1 year contract or $1000+/month 2 bedrooms, or apartments in middle of a construction zone (neighbouring house demolished ready to for build project...) I feel that it has to be much easier to find something interesting - we are most probably missing something as far as the apartment hunt process... My wife is Vietnamese and still receives USD offers (go figure) that feels much inflated... Any tips on how to find good apartments at local price? I don't think the average person is interested in 30Mil dong/month rent? Thanks in advance for any tips you can share! Cheers -Denis
Donnie Jay again. What's up!! I'm planning to teach English there after the new year. In your opinion, do you know a good way to start learning some Vietnamese? So far I've only tried dualingo. Any ideas?
Hey! I realize i forgot to mention that! It varies in price depending on how long a membership you get! A month month plan is about 50USD and it gets less expensive if you get a longer membership. facebook.com/thefitnessvillage/photos/7386131838124029
