As a fellow southeast asian girlie, seeing u ride ur bike in ur mom's hometown made me so nostalgic for my own memories of home <3 thank you thank you!!

I've been watching you since you were in high school. **parasocial relationship moment** I'm emotional for you that you got this opportunity, Linh. I'm sure it meant a lot to you. What a beautiful trip!

your vlog makes me wanna go to vietnam so I'm 20 years old and have never been to the motherland yet :')) because my dad is not interested in going back to vietnam and he immigrated to france at a very young age 🤕🤕 hopefully I'll visit vietnam soon !!! :DD your vlog has such a comforting vibe !! 💌💌

You’re acc so strong for walking around to so many places. I also went to Vietnam for the first time in a while and I barely survived walking to two places.

This video might be my favorite from your channel! It felt like I was watching a slice-of-life anime from the 80’s. It was very relaxing, and the music + graphics made it ten-times better 😻😻😻!
