Hi, I'm Minh, 25 years old.
At 25, I made a decision that completely changed my life. After four years of working long hours in the city, I left my job and returned to my quiet hometown in rural Vietnam to start over from scratch.
This channel is my personal diary of starting over.
Here, I'll share the reality of rebuilding my life with less—learning to live simply, managing a small budget, cooking my own meals, improving my daily routines, and finding purpose in ordinary days. Along the way, you'll also experience the peaceful countryside of Vietnam, where life moves a little slower and happiness is often found in the simplest moments.
There are no perfect plans here, no overnight success stories—just an honest journey of growth, small steps, and new beginnings.
If you're interested in authentic life in rural Vietnam, enjoy slow living, or believe it's never too late to start again, I hope you'll feel at home here.
Welcome to my little corner of Vietnam. 🤍

Would you really quit a $6-a-day job if you actually enjoyed the people and the life around it?
After one month at this rural office, I started asking myself a question I didn’t expect… should I stay or move on?
I’m 25 and starting over in rural Vietnam, working part-time at a small rural office for $6 a day. In this episode, I share a normal workday — making breakfast for my coworker, stopping for coffee, getting through a busy day at work, and enjoying a simple lunch before heading home.
But somewhere between all those ordinary moments, I started thinking about my future and whether this $6-a-day job is really where I want to stay.
This is what my real life looks like while slowly building a new life in the Vietnamese countryside.https://youtu.be/l_c4TlLlNFc

After being sick for days, I finally had the energy to get my life back in order — but this day didn’t go exactly as planned.
A broken washing machine, sudden rain, and an unexpected delivery made this quiet day in my tiny 6m² room surprisingly memorable.
I cleaned my room, washed clothes by hand, cooked a simple homemade lunch, and slowly returned to my normal routine in the countryside. This is what starting over at 25 really looks like — ordinary days, small challenges, and little moments that make life feel meaningful.https://youtu.be/msUU2kVjqRY

Getting sick is never easy, but being sick alone in a tiny 6m² room makes you realize how important it is to know how to take care of yourself.
Come spend this quiet day with me and see how I took care of myself while recovering alone in my little 6m² room.
Thank you for being here and continuing to walk with me through this new chapter of life. 🤍https://youtu.be/EU4Yl0q6c-c

What is it really like to work part-time at a small rural office on a day when heavy rain won’t stop?
I thought it would be just another ordinary workday… but this rainy day turned into something I didn’t expect.
I’m 25 and starting over in rural Vietnam after leaving my old life in the city. These days, I’m working a small part-time job at a rural office while slowly rebuilding my life at my own pace.
From getting through a difficult rainy morning to spending the day at work, this video is a little glimpse into what everyday life looks like for me now. Sometimes, starting over isn’t about having everything figured out. It’s about learning to keep going, taking care of yourself, and finding meaning in the small moments along the way.
Come spend this rainy day with me and see how my workday unfolded.
Thank you for being here and following my journey.https://youtu.be/pHLbFCYErrM

Only $19 for a whole week of food… do you think I could make it work?
I’ve been learning so much about managing money since coming back to the countryside. This time, I took a small budget to the local market and tried to buy enough food for the whole week.
It was actually a really interesting little challenge, and I was surprised by how far a small amount of money could go.
The new video is coming soon. I’d love for you to come along with me and see what I was able to bring home with just $19.
See you in the next video.https://youtu.be/dngIpzURc60

I left my office job at 25 and came back to the countryside with a simple idea — grow my own vegetables and try to make a little income from them.
Today, I finally made my first sale. I honestly had no idea how much I would earn or whether anyone would even buy them.
But what happened on my first day made this little garden feel more meaningful than I expected.
My new video is here. Come see how my first day selling vegetables turned out.
Thank you for being here as I slowly build a new life, one small step at a time.https://youtu.be/eLAfipgVuoI

Some days feel completely ordinary… until one unexpected moment changes everything.
I went to work at my little rural office, expecting nothing more than another normal day at my $6/day job. But my coworker did something I truly didn’t see coming — and honestly, it touched me more than I expected.
My new video is finally here. Come see what happened.
Thank you for being here and following my journey as I start over at 25.https://youtu.be/_x828f6_bhE

$6 a day may not seem like much, but I believe every bigger dream has to start somewhere.
I’m not trying to stay where I am. Instead, I’m slowly building something of my own — a small farm, a new source of income, and a more independent life in the countryside.
There is no big investment, no perfect plan, and no guarantee that everything will work out. Just a small piece of land, my own hands, and the determination to keep moving forward.
In this video, I take you along as I begin turning a simple piece of land into something that could become part of my future.
Maybe this farm will succeed. Maybe I’ll make mistakes along the way. But one thing is certain:
$6 a day is only the beginning.
Thank you for being here and watching me build my life, one small step at a time. 🌱https://youtu.be/fFEUNJdTlUU

Today, I received my first two days of wages and used them to buy a few simple things I truly need. They may not be expensive or special, but they mean a lot to me because they were bought with my own hard work.
I’m slowly learning that a peaceful life doesn’t require having everything. Sometimes, having enough, being able to take care of yourself, and enjoying a simple meal at the end of the day is already something to be grateful for.
Thank you for continuing to walk with me through this new chapter of my life. ❤️https://youtu.be/X-ZjhxQtig0
