I Left the U.S for Peace — Now I Live in Vietnam for Just $800 a Month

I Was Emotionally Drained in America—Now I Live in Vietnam for $800 a MonthWhat happens when you stop surviving and finally start living?
In this episode of Relocated, we meet Alaska, an American who made the life-changing decision to leave the United States behind after years of stress, financial hardship, trauma, and feeling like life was becoming impossible.
Today, she calls Da Nang, Vietnam home—and lives comfortably on less than $800 a month.
During this emotional interview, Alaska shares why she believes America no longer served her, how moving abroad transformed her mental health, and why Vietnam gave her something she never felt she had before: peace.
She also opens up about surviving homelessness, rebuilding her life overseas, recovering from a near-fatal car accident that left her pronounced dead for four minutes, overcoming years of insecurity, and finding love while traveling the world.
