5,000 Subcribers Q + A | Where am I from? Why Vietnam?

5,000 subscribers?! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! Thank you so much for the support and all the encouragement! Although I don't really talk about myself very much, I think it's time for you guys to get to know me better. I've been getting a lot of questions from you guys lately and this video should answer some of these questions once and for all.
Ps. Sorry for the weird auto focusing and brightness. This video was filmed on my new Canon G7X II and I obviously don't know how to use it very well, but I promise I will get better!

    Hello Allison KZread recommended this video and I'm glad I watched it!! Love your KISS life story. Like yourself, I am Eurasian(Vietnamese). Like your mother, my family and I escape Vietnam as well. When I was a child, people could not guess my ethnicity and I would get comments like, "are you Mexican, Latin, Native American, Filipino, etc" I used to get upset because I am proud being Vietnamese. Then, I realized. Why get upset? If people from other ethnic groups believed I am of that group, opportunities opens for me. Keep making great videos😁😊😉

    Not sure why people comment on you to move back to Asia. It's your life lol. To them the States may be familiar and boring and traveling over in Asia may be exciting but you seem to have the opposite experience (as in you've traveled all your life it seems). To you, starting a career is new and something you haven't done before and that's always worth doing. You just have a different definition of what "new experience" means than most others :)

My parents fled to Hong Kong first, where my brother was born in 1980. Then we immigrated to Seattle, Washington where I was born in 1981. Then we moved to Texas when I was around 3 years old, and we lived here ever since.
