Not sure what it is about you and your videos but they are so well done and entertaining. You really posses a good eye. The way you shoot your videos, the way you put yourself together. Its extraordinary!

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

This comment is so extraordinary! One of the best comments a “seasoned” KZbinr like myself can receive on this journey. This means a lot. Thank you 🙏🏾

[@3756nocomment]

I was just about to write a similar comment. You have a very cinematographic eye. You pair your videos with music beautifully. The visual and talking parts of your content work really well together. You are very talented. I really enjoy watching. ✨✨💚

[@aloquicious]

@@AntoinetteYvonne Antoinette, I'm so glad to hear your response but it's obvious that you put a lot of thought and work into your vids. The multiple angles, even taking shots from the floor, placing the camera inside the condo and then opening the door from outside. There's a lot of thought there. Don't think that this goes unnoticeable. Just saw someone mentioning the music you put in the background is also thoughtful. Good work Antoinette!

[@MrBlaqdave]

You're absolutely right. It's like watching an Anthony Bourdain's NO Reservation series 💯🔥

[@5-minuteBreakthroughs]

I agree. She's really good at this. Her music, shot selection, narration all evoke emotion instead of just information.

[@Radiancegrace]

Find your content very insightful and helpful. You articulate it all really well and very easy to follow. I am in the states caring for senior dog and preparing to eventually get there. The mental nervousness I feel in the states is obviously internalized by the energy field, here. I sense the calm there thousands of miles away. Thank you for sharing all you do🙏🏻

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

Best wishes to you!!

[@30AndAWakeUp]

really enjoy following your journey….as someone that went from van life to bangkok…i identify so much with your journey! thank you for sharing your story 🙏

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

Aw, thank you for your continued support. It's such a drastic change but I do enjoy it. I hope your journey and transition is going a little more smoothly.

I swear girl I love your transparency. The content is top tier thanks again for everything ❤️

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

Aww thank you

[@annaorthodox4653]

I lived in Bangkok for 4 years, 3 of them working and the other year just enjoying life. Your video makes me nostalgic for the life I had there. It's been 11 years since I left, but I will always have fond memories of the people, the food, the live music, and of just how much I loved my life there. I lived in SUkhumvit for a18 months, and the rest of the time in Sathorn, Soi Suan Plu. Both fabulous experiences. I found it so easy to make friends with locals, and with the expats I worked with. I was on a fairly tight budget but managed to do everything I wanted to do, and to explore many parts of Thailand and neighbouring countries. Loved the cheap markets that you find everywhere, any day of the week. Truly wonderful and I feel blessed to have had the opportunity. I've been back a few times but it was never the same as living there. Things changed, friends moved on, etc. Good on you for making the move! I hope you stay on for a while longer :)

[@joeyausAyoyo]

Got your feelings deeply.

[@JamesB02]

Hello 👋🏽 Antoinette, I agree when I was stationed in Okinawa and my boyfriend/fiancée taught me some basic phrases in Japanese that I used when ordering food . The natives were welcomingly nice but they never tried to hold lengthy conversations because they knew I didn't know more of their language

[@whitneybrown4067]

This is Truly Gonna b so Insightful AY🎯🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Monday😀….

[@Ajhmee]

I really like your background music choices. At first I just come to watch for a few mins, but because of the music I watch to the end.

[@joannabean829]

Antoinette hello, I can relate to your content, I have been on a journey since I left America . It has been exciting , seeing and learning new things about where I am now. You are correct we have to enjoy this beautiful world 🎉 thank you for sharing . safe exploring. Looking forward to your next Vlog 🙏.

So you’re letting your inner British Lola come out? Love it. ❤

[@lauraslanesvanlifetravels]

Yes...your skin is looking stunning to match everything else! (Don't take that the wrong way love)...it's been very interesting watching you live there. Honestly, I dream of 'escaping' the USA, especially the way it is here now, we just aren't what we used to be (the media has divided us deep) and I do fear that it's only going to get worse, both financially and socially. My channel is just starting (2yrs) and I'm trying to do van life...been trying...finances keep holding me up and cars either breaking down or vans needing fixed. I'm about to get my van fixed so I will be taking some weekend trips until I grow more, thanks for being an inspiration. ☺

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

Best of luck and wishes to you!!

Very true about getting more respect by speaking even a little bit of the native language. Even in Russia I found this to be true, and one look and you know I am not Russian.

Lord chile that's some awesome advice at the end, but it's so much harder for introverts like myself. But I manage and take baby steps. Be safe.

You should try to live in Shanghai city. A lot of expats like compare Bangkok, Thailand to Shanghai, China.

[@Indigosoul127]

Queen, after I hit the big M , I started to break out like crazy. I never had the issue before in my youth. My aunt told me exfoliate with yellow lemon morning and night and then follow your moisturizing and medication routine. Cut a lemon and rub wait 5m than rinse well. I still break out but less often and I find it happens when I neglected it.

Hi Antoinette I just finish watching your video. Have you visit Northern Thailand Chiang mai. I feel that you would like it there too. It's more of a slow paste life. More friendly and cost of living is much lesser than Bangkok.
