Wow. I just want to take a moment to say THANK YOU — from the bottom of my heart.

Whether you’ve been here since Day 1 or just clicked “subscribe” last week — I see you. Your comments, your messages, your encouragement… it all means so much. 💛

This channel is more than just videos — it’s about redefining home, creating income with purpose, and raising bold kids beyond the system. And the fact that 5,000 of you are here for it? Wild.

🌍 NEW LIVE SERIES PREMIERE 🎬
Ep. 01 – The Trip That Changed Everything
Live Free Abroad with Thuc & Mai

We thought it was just a vacation…
But that one trip cracked us wide open — and changed our future.

In this first-ever live episode, we’re sharing:
🌴 The Florida moment that shifted everything
💡 The questions that wouldn’t leave us alone
✈️ Why we left Canada
❤️ And how it led to a new life in Vietnam

🎥 A different kind of live show:
Each week, we go live from a beautiful new spot in Vietnam — no stiff studio setups, sometimes not even our faces.
Last week, it was just our backs to the mountains and ocean… this week? You’ll have to tune in. 🌄🌊
Let the scenery speak while we tell the stories.

🎤 LIVE Q&A at the end — bring your questions!
📅 This Saturday (Friday night if you’re in North America!)
🕖 8 AM Vietnam | 9 PM Eastern (Friday)
