102 days without posting. I couldn’t focus on my videos, was overthinking and decided to focus on the offline part of my life. I think I’ve experienced a burnout that is over now. It feels good to have the desire to create and the desire to share again. I hope you still remember me and my channel :)

[@andre-lefebvre]

🇨🇦 Long time no see ! 😊 Welcome back Niki !! 🤗

[@cherareina8963]

It’s good you took time for yourself. Self care is SO important. We are glad to see you back, though! 💜

[@NoVisionGuy]

Do whatever you feel is best for you man, good luck on your journeys!

[@cooperstake]

hope u catch up. cuz viewership dropped dramatically.

[@sparsh415]

Just glad your ok Niki. I was worried that the Russian authorities had got hold off you and sent you to Ukraine.

[@BSGSV]

Good to hear from you again, Niki.

[@Trinity25Apr]

Aha, there you are, Niki. Out of sight never out of mind. Welcome back . Impart some local knowledge upon us we are ready and waiting .

[@NikiProshin]

Thank you very much!

[@MrWilderNapalm]

I am so glad you are in Vietnam Niki. You have found one of the worlds true hidden gem's. The wife and I are finally retiring at the end of the month and selling our business. I hope to find a nice place in Hội An. One of my favorite KZbinr's lives in Ho Chi Minh City. I freaking love that country. As a side note Western manufacturing is leaving China and heading straight to Vietnam. I truly believe Vietnam will become a major world class country.

[@HoaTran-nq4ht]

Had you been in Dalat city

[@MrWilderNapalm]

@@HoaTran-nq4ht No we plan to go for a few weeks in the spring of 25 to look for a place. I will take a look at Dalat City. Any other suggestions is great appreciated.

[@Chuckinca]

When I was in Saigon in 1966 there was a rumor that it snowed in Delat. Saigon was ALWAYS HOT and MUGGY

[@hildebergeclothaireau3947]

@@ChuckincaI wish Dalat had snow. Sapa is the only place in VN to have so.

[@MisterPlaty]

I was JUST thinking about “I haven’t seen Niki in awhile” yesterday! I’m so glad that you’re okay. Welcome back!

[@Jude_B]

Good to see again Niki, glad you are OK - sometimes we just need to step back and look after ourselves. Love hearing about your experiences - those coffee shops and restaurants look great, so relaxed! Take care and continue enjoying your travels.

[@NikiProshin]

Thank you Jude! Glad you like new kind of my videos :)

[@simonedevivo1418]

Thank you for taking your time, listening to yourself and only committing to creating when you felt like you could give your best! Cheers Niki :)

[@NikiProshin]

Cheer and thank you!

[@wayneg91]

Nikki you were missed. It had been so long since we last heard from you. I’m really happy to see you’re ok.

[@SkydivingKiwi]

Thank you for sharing this Niki! I'm a New Zealander born in Brazil considering long term travel, and visited Vietnam before. Absolutely beautiful country. Your video is really inspiring - again, thanks for sharing =)

[@David-bb5if]

Go glad to hear from you Niki! Absolutely loved the video. You look well and seem happy. Hope we can continue to hear more from you, but no pressure! I am finally planning a trip abroad in 2025 and Vietnam is on the list of places I want to travel. I hadn't heard of Dalat before you mentioned it, but in researching it more it really looks like a great city. I don't particularly enjoy the super hot and humid climates, and Dalat looks like a slightly cooler alternative to some of the other cities in Vietnam. Hope you continue to post videos when you can!

[@NikiProshin]

Thank you very much, David! Greetings from Vietnam :)

[@edwinrivera4735]

A dinner and out for beer? That alone would cost near $100 plus here in the US. So glad you are well. Keep up the good work.

[@NikiProshin]

$100 would get the fanciest dinner for two with drinks and desserts here. I've never been to a restaurant like that in Vietnam yet but I've seen a few

[@rosevisionmacs]

I'm so happy to see you are ready to post videos again. It gives people who live in unstable countries hope. You have made it through a very scary intense life altering situation. I'm glad that you didn't get conscripted into that stupid war that no regular American wants to fund. It's horrible that people are dying to fund greedy corrupt American billionaires who are aligned with greedy corrupt Ukrainians. The corrupt thieves aren't dying on the front line. Thank you for your wisdom and courage.

[@KaylaCosmos]

Woahhh! That coffee shop. Adding it to my list for next time I visit Dalat.

[@NikiProshin]

That's a very chill place!

[@davidsixtwo]

I missed the name, what's it called?

[@user-xo2nb9ym9d]

Happy to hear from you again

[@marcinna8553]

Ah yes, the expatriate life. I lived in Japan for 10 years, now back home in the US with a house, car, pets, etc. I watch your videos I want to sell it all and go back on the road.

[@NikiProshin]

It's never too late to be back :)

[@johnpenley]

Always good to take a break and live life.✌️

[@johnsaville9210]

Loved this insight into Vietnam costs of living. Seems like a great country for youtubers.

[@user-od9iz9cv1w]

Fascinating video. Thanks Niki. For those of us that do not travel, this view into your life in Vietnam is very interesting. I love the coffee shops. The expenses are incredible. I live in Toronto Canada which has become one of the very expensive places to live. Our grocery stores look very similar except yours has much better selection of fresh fruit and veggies. Your cost for meat, fruit and veggies is a fraction of what we spend. When you talk about $9 per day for accommodation it is hard to believe. My home is being repaired so my insurance paid for a nice place by a lake. The rental rate is 1,800 per day. Stupid expensive, but meant for 5 couples and Tom Hanks has a place near by. Chicken breasts at the store are $27/kg. And a case of 12 cans of coke was $11. It is a tourist area, but not so different from what I see in your place.

[@lorisheheen2198]

You've still got it! Very nice to catch up with you again and hear all about what you've been up to! It looks very nice where your staying. So glad to see you doing so well! Enjoyed watching! Look forward to your next video!❤❤❤😊

[@carlalindquist2766]

Good to see you again, Niki. And this was a very interesting video. I was stunned at the price of everything! It is so freakin expensive here where I live in the US.

[@soulharm5532]

We stay in Da Nang, and Vietnam nowadays overall isn't that cheap. We rent 2 bedroom in a huge apartment complex with a swimming pool for 11mil and it's a fair price. After living in Egypt for 2 years, everything here is two times more expensive. But the quality of life is much better, the sea is warmer, the cities are cleaner, the food is tastier :)

[@gwynethbennellick4839]

So delighted to see you back, Nicky. Im so glad you are enjoying your life in Vietnam x

[@Jessica_P_Fields]

I've been trying to spread my comments around your various posts, Niki. Hope it helps with algorithm things. Thanks for sharing the new video!

[@NikiProshin]

Thank you Jessica :) perhaps that help after such a long break!

[@susanritter2520]

Wonderful to hear from you again; we were becoming concerned! Please keep us updated from time to time, and enjoy your travels. ❤

[@anthonytr9685]

Vietnam has nice taste of cacao, but local rabusta coffee is too bitter without milk

[@McCov1]

Good to see you back Niki. I was watching one of my favorite Vietnamese Vloggers the lady from “What the Pho” Channel. It would be nice too see you collaborating with her 😊 Take care Niki.

[@NikiProshin]

I've seen a few of her videos, she's great!

[@lqfr8813]

unrefrigerated milk are common in southeast asia because the weather is hotter, products like fresh milk will go bad so fast. so UHT milk is made to be able withstand heat but not exactly taste like fresh milk

[@NikiProshin]

Yeah, I remember seeing unrefrigerated milk for the first time. I was shocked!

[@BillHanson-wu4nh]

Wondered where you were. Seeing Vietnam with you is a refresher for me. I went in 1996 for the first time I applied for a visa at the Embassy in Bangkok where I was living, The visa was $100 and I think valid for one month, Went from Saigon to Hanoi on the Singh bus. $55 at the time to go all the way. You could stop off along the way and catch the bus when it came through. Looking forward to more videos soon.

[@NikiProshin]

That must've been a great adventure! Sometimes I think about what's Vietnam (and other Asian countries) were like 20-30 years ago when Asia wasn't that popular tourist destination

[@loriwooten5249]

Hope you're well. My son always watched you.

[@mikedang3613]

You mentioned the 5kg bags of rice, but they are, in fact, NOT common in Asia. They're common in Europe and the United States, but the common amount of rice to purchase is a large 20kg-30kg sack in all of Asia. It takes about 2 months to go through each 20kg bag of rice for a family of 4, and it is MUCH cheaper to purchase 20kg-30kg bags than those tiny 5kg bags. Here in the United States, my family and I only purchase 30kg bags of rice from local Asian markets, because regular grocery stores do not have them - but every Asian market, even the tiniest ones, have hundreds of 30kg sacks of rice.

[@phanle2870]

That coffee shop with tropical garden look so chill!

[@kimgreen9342]

Super informative video Niki! It has made me want to travel to Vietnam. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Wow that korean bbq looked amazing!

I look forward to joining you again online via Zoom very soon. I would love to learn more about what is happening in Russia. The war against Ukraine sadly continues 😢
