I'm done living abroad! & here's why...

[@erinire]

thanks so much for all your Taiwan vlogs, you're one of the many creators that have inspired me to begin my own teaching journey in Taiwan after I graduate college! I'm currently in my 3rd semester of chinese language courses so hopefully by the time I decide to move the transition won't be too hard. Teaching english isn't really marketed towards people of color, so it's nice to see someone who doesn't quite fit the stereotypical mold of someone who moved abroad share their experience. it's helped me realize that even if I am brown that i'm still American, and there are so many opportunities for us like you mentioned in this video, we just have to take them.

[@NneniaYasmeen]

Thank you so much for watching! I'm glad the videos have been helpful. That's awesome you're learning Chinese. It'll help a lot and probably make for a better experience living in Asia. Best of luck to you on your move/journey!

[@lifeabroadwithnoxy]

I’m sad we didn’t get time to collaborate, Wishing you all the best with your journey . Taiwan is great but it’s super slow and it can never feel like home. May you blossom and flourish in your new chapter ❤️

[@NneniaYasmeen]

"It can never feel like home" literally! You get it. Thank you sooo much! I wish we could've linked but I look forward to your continued success as well ❤ thank you!

[@cdnsilverdaddy]

It’s not slow .. it is faster and more efficient than the US

[@LifebyDai]

Completely understand. When I came back to the USA from China, I missed the weirdest things lol. Like the diversity in food choices in the grocery store, being able to fully understand everyone and culture. GOOD LUCK!

[@NneniaYasmeen]

Exactly!! I mentioned the variety of things in the grocery store yesterday. Lol the little things start to weigh a little heavy. I hope your transition back was smooth and thank you!

[@starloszelson4541]

She’s married an asian doode?

[@txr8565]

I am a Taiwanese living in California. Wish you the best no matter where you and your husband want to go!

[@NneniaYasmeen]

Thank you so much!

[@starloszelson4541]

Super racist please for blacks. Stares etc

[@CeceliaS69]

I just got to Taiwan I don't plan to stay long-term probably 2 years max. then off to somewhere else. It's not my first country to teach in but I never intended to teach English for life anyways lol. I don't plan for it to be my main career. No matter which country you live in it's never really the same as the one you call home. Hope you're having a good time back home. 🙂

[@NneniaYasmeen]

Best of luck to you & thank you!! I hope you enjoy Taiwan :)

[@oogway73]

So avoiding responsibilities then? No wonder qualifications are increasingly expanding, and employers are becoming tired of these "teachers" who lack a greater goal and are simply exploiting the system designed for real teachers so to gain popularity through vlogging 🤗 and spending their money on the party and paying back their student loans.

[@cdnsilverdaddy]

You will decide to stay .. mark my words

[@BEVS1]

I’m so excited to hear this news. I don’t presume to speak for your Mom but I’m thinking she and your sister are Very Happy! I will continue to “tune in” to your journey. Your Joy is infectious 😁 Praying God’s covering as you and your husband travel HOME!🤎

[@NneniaYasmeen]

Thank you sooo much! & yess she's excited/ happy. Lol

[@ZoeysMusings]

It's great that you and your husband are of the same mind on something as important as this. You really do have more opportunities back home. Wishing you all the best with your new endeavours. Also looking forward to new content 😊 Travel safely and hope you settle in nicely, Nnenia!

[@NneniaYasmeen]

Thank you soooo much! I appreciate you & your support ☺

[@marlak4203]

Exactly. And like she said there are things that you can do and have in America that you cannot have anywhere else(maybe in Europe?) but she definitely has experience in another world and she can use that for many other things in her life. She can always visit this place and who knows, she and her hubby do well enough they can always buy a home in that country or wherever else and then retire there. 😁

[@VMehlhaff]

please stay safe when coming back to the US! Covid is so bad here right now, y'all take care of yourselves

[@NneniaYasmeen]

Thank you so much & we will be!!

[@SesameBuns]

Hey congrats on the great choice of change! It has been interesting watching someone not originally from Taiwan to vlog and share their experiences. I’m very connected with family there but can’t live there myself (I’m Chinese) so always interested to watch others share Taiwan adventures. Completely understand the “missing family” and to “plan” your family future. We have a friend who is doing the exact same change as you except she’s moving from America to Taiwan (she’s originally from Taiwan). How interesting that people so different turn out not so different in life. Best of luck and thanks for sharing your journey with a different set of beautiful eyes!

[@NneniaYasmeen]

Thank you so much! Best of luck to your friend too. I hope she enjoyed her time in America.

[@ShanayBraxton]

Best wishes on your new chapter! 🌞

Am not happy wanted you to continue being in Taiwan I love Taiwan so much but can't afford to flying there

[@NneniaYasmeen]

I enjoyed Taiwan too! I will miss it.

[@newdaynewmoney8827]

I will no longer have anyone else in Taiwan that I know so sad

[@newdaynewmoney8827]

Am from Africa but do love Taiwan because of they friendship with USA and democracy

Hey Nnenia. Can you please tell me if the borders are now open for us who want to come to Taiwan? And the quarantine process, the hotel costs and everything. Thank you

[@lanahanbrian0]

I don't know all the details but you definitely need to quarantine on arrival for like 14-21 days. And I don't know if it's the case for everywhere but I just heard from someone I know IRL that her daughter's quarantine hotel stay here cost her 70000 NT$ total. No fun and it's not cheap. Maybe better to wait for more of the population here to be vaccinated and the restrictions relaxed before coming.

[@leen7635]

That’s hectic… thank you for the info

[@NneniaYasmeen]

Hi I'm not positive on what things are looking like now but the borders are still closed as far as I know. Quarantine is still mandatory in a designated hotel 14-21 days. I've heard there's hotels at different price points you can choose from. Similar to the comment above I've heard it's not cheap and regulations are pretty strict still.

[@aaap3875]

I think Taiwans currently only open for , APRC and Citizens for now.

[@lucie442]

Will you ever make a video on how you met your hubby?:)

[@NneniaYasmeen]

Maybe one day!

[@newdaynewmoney8827]

How long have you been in Taiwan

[@NneniaYasmeen]

2.5 years

[@newdaynewmoney8827]

Thanks for the reply

[@aaap3875]

Its a smart move, long term English teaching in Asia is a dead end for any career. USA has the most high paying jobs and numerous opportunities for a good career vs anywhere in the world when you compare the same job/experience... Important to get your 40 points in to build social security, save for a house and retirement fund. Then you can retire anywhere even outside the US.

[@NneniaYasmeen]

Yes I agree. I don't think it'll be my last time living abroad but we've got some seeds to plant at home first!

[@starloszelson4541]

And she’s blk will she be able to. CEO in Tawian. Now there’s a potential war with china. Glad she got out

[@sofyane4428]

Why don't you just be honest and lay out the bitter truth. Personally, I believe your decision has to do with more darker circumstances..racism, prejudice, inequality leading to disappointment. Getting out of that shit hole was the right thing to do.
