Between the nerdiness and the rightful paranoia with internet privacy... I like this dude more and more

Let's give German Boyfriend a round of applause for being confident enough to be on camera! I hope to see you with or without the filter!

I’m tearing up when you said “it felt like I met my soulmate” you two are so sweet- I wish you nothing but joy ❤❤

The story of how you met is so sweet and beautiful ❤ My husband and I actually met when I was about 8 months pregnant and didn't think that anyone would connect with me but he was also a single teenage parent and about a week after I had my daughter we were set up on a blind date and have basically never been apart since, we have our 3 daughters, one he had, one I had and one we had together and we just celebrated our 15 year wedding anniversary at the end of March. You never know what life will give you and I'm so grateful that I got to meet my husband. Thank you so much for sharing your story and I wish you both so much happiness and success in the future, much love from New Hampshire in the USA ❤

props to german boyfriend for coming on camera

It was a life changing trip! 😊 best experience ever! 😊

7:15 Their story is so wholesome but this picture of Uyen really seals the deal. She looks so happy 🥺.

Lovely story! Believe it or not, the story of how I met my wife in Vietnam is almost identical. Same location, same year, same circumstances. We met on my first day in Vietnam, and I was totally lost traveling alone for the first time. Thank you so much for sharing your story! It brings back a lot of happy memories for me :)

I traveled solo in Vietnam in 2016 as well. I found the "foreigner hunt" very useful, any time I felt I could use some company I would sit at a central spot doing nothing and in less than 5 mins someone would approach me to chit chat. I even got interviewed for a school project. The only time my masterplan failed was when I sat in a square and I got pulled by a lovely Viet grandma to dance-excersize instead 😂

21yo Baby Uyen is freaking adorable. In fact, time travel will be invented for the sole purpose of protecting her at all costs.

She is one youtuber I feel just happy to hear to :D she radiates happiness. And the way her german boyfriend is happily participating in all this is a delight as well.

Honestly I'm really happy that privacy is being respected and I hope German boyfriend never does a face reveal the internet as a whole does not need everything shared and you prove you can make and share content connect with others and still be able to draw lines so German boyfriend never feel like you need to change your boundaries I love the creativity around protecting yourself

Hope you do well in your exams ❤. You and your german bf ( now fiance) are the cutest couple and handle the cultural differences really well. Love how he also overcame his camera shyness and came out of his comfort zone. You both are literally soo cute ❤

Me from Czech republic watching girl from Vietnam how he met her German boyfriend in english.

Wow, what a cute story! It's crazy how serendipitous meeting your future spouse seems to be. Goes to show that being open to stepping out of your comfort zone and doing something new can really bring unimaginable changes to your life. The fact that students try to hunt down tourists to talk to is so funny and wholesome to me! If someone approached me like that in a foreign country I might think I was being scammed or robbed or something but I'm glad your fiance agreed to talk with your group and that your relationship worked out

When the universe sees two souls that should be together, the universe makes sure they are! I’m so glad you & German fiancé are together!!❤️❤️

Awww his peace sign-photobomb is so cute! I love this story! ❤

God, I really felt the “Affordableeee!” at 1:41 😂💕

That's a great story. Glad you 2 found each other. My wife and I started emailing completely by accident. She and her co-teacher were looking at Yahoo profiles. She thought nothing about it afterward. But she left her email, and the co-teacher used her school email to email me. Neither of us knew what was going on. But we started emailing. That was in 2000. She had asked her mother what to do about it and she said to practice her English. Well as the years went on a pen pal became a friend, then respect and then loved. I went to the Philippines in 2009 to propose and she excepted. But it was a LONG engagement. I wasn't in a financial position to bring her to the U.S.. But in 2018 she was invited to a 21st century educational conference sponsored at Harvard. She had co-wrote a paper about teaching children in different languages. It was accepted. So in Nov 2018 she came for a visit. She met my parents and they loved her. We got the immigration paperwork started in Jan 2019 before she had to return home. We got the wedding planned while she was waiting to get the fiancé and the medical done. Got got back in October of 2019 and we wed on Nov 16th, the anniversary to her trip to Harvard. Now she has been accepted as a multilingual elementary teacher.

I was so surprised when I travelled in Vietnam and was approached by strangers on the street saying they wanted to practice English. After so many people approaching trying to sell some goods or service, I was weary the first few times, but I eventually realized the people really did just want to chat. And now I wish other countries with language barriers between locals and tourists had this friendly trend.

I met my German boyfriend when we both worked in China & were staying at the same hotel. We met in the hotel restaurant at dinner time - we both originally wanted to have room service but decided not to & go to the restaurant. We got to talking & we're still together 😊 Like you, I often wonder what would have happened if we both or one of us ate in our hotel rooms. I thank God everyday for him, like you & your boyfriend. Congrats on your upcoming wedding! Love from Singapore! I love your videos!

So this is what "meant to be" is like. Glad you both met! Thanks for sharing this heartwarming story.

As a German who emigrated to Canada as a baby, I often wondered what my life would be like if my parents made the decision to stay in Germany. Being a German who hasn't been to Germany (true - until I was 45yo), I see how different the Germans are from what I know even though there are so many similarities. Living with my parents was like being in "little germany" within Canadian culture. I find your comparison videos so funny and with you I somehow explore Germany and Germans vicariously with you! Thank you for your videos xo

Keeping his identity private is something original to your channel and quite endearing...hope you don't ever change that.

I love it. Poor German Boyfriend, feeling lonely in Hanoi. It was so brave of him to go alone, I can't imagine! I think God was determined to get him there and then had to fill his room with cockroaches so he was forced outside to meet you! Filled two cautious people with all the energy and bravery they needed to make it happen. Congratulations! I love the brown bear holding the panda bear picture in the background. So sweet, just like you two.

Only recently started watching this channel but I LOVE how much you respect German Boyfriend’s privacy preferences while still being able to make your videos! Seems like you two have a super healthy and communicative relationship :)

idk why but hearing stories like yours makes me so happy?? it feels so real, genuine especially in the world of internet where there are very few real things. truly glad you two found each other😊

I have a similar story on how I met my wife in Malaysia. I'm from Europe as well, and we can relate to your videos so much. It's fun to see that we are going through the same experiences as far as cultural differences go. Only in our case, I decided to move to Malaysia and not the other way around.

I met my husband in a similar way; we were both traveling and met in a hostel in London! We traveled for a few days together, then kept in touch long distance until we could move to be together. ❤️ I love travel romances like this! ☺️

His flight being delayed a day and his hotel not ready just goes to show that the two of you were being aligned to meet at the right time. What a beautiful story you share. 🩷

My wife is from Italy and I am English. We met on the second day of the camino de santiago and fell in love. The mind boggles when i consider all the different variables that were involved in us getting together. Best walk of my life!

You truly were meant to meet. ❤ I find it interesting that you both had to get out of your comfort zone to find each other. It kind of makes me believe in love a little more. :)

What a great story. Two people from different halves of the world, meeting randomly by chance. That is cosmic fate.

Hi Uyen, I am from Singapore and it is very nice to hear your super sweet story because that is how i met my English boyfriend in Luang Prabang in 2019! We stayed in the same hostel and started chatting at breakfast. We spent time in Laos and Bali and each went back to our own country and successfully made our 3 years long distance relationship worked. I just got my UK work visa this week and this time we are trying to stay in the same city for good! 😆🥰

it's only now that I realize I was a "victim" of westerner hunting, but it happened to me several times. The nicest was a conversation that started on the toilet of Goethe Institut in Hanoi about a not closing toilet stall door, I offered to stand watch for her, then we had coffee and in the end we chatted until her classes started. So much fun!

That’s called destiny. You both are so lucky to meet and stay with your soulmates. And also congratulations to German fiancé for being confident and comfortable enough to try and reveal himself in the video. Thank you so much both of you, you are one of my favourite couples on the Internet 😊

That's so nice 😊. I hope you will do really great in exam ☺️☺️☺️

So cute... you guys were meant to be together! He went out of his comfort zone by traveling alone and you went out of yours by approaching strangers. A higher power compelled you both to step out of your regular lives to meet eachother. Definitely soulmates! Also, do all Germans grab their Swiss-Army knives before getting on a plane to travel? 😂

I'm glad you guys met. Sounds like you have a really special relationship. Also you are both so adorable!

I like being “real” and honest in all my interactions… so… I have been eating my feelings today. Ice cream, soda, even “consuming” random crap online to keep my mind occupied (a behavior I typically avoid). My mother is dying. I hate it. At the end of your video, I just started bawling. God is so good in bringing the right people into our lives. It’s a beautiful tapestry where each individual thread is one He knows. We are meant to connect with people, and those we LOVE can connect from two different parts of the world… I’m going to lay my phone down and just go cry now. If anyone wants to pray for Phyllis, she is struggling with her diagnosis and needs peace. Thank you❤

Your story is just as delightful as you are! I’m so glad you two met and that German Boyfriend is more comfortable speaking on camera. He’s adorable and so are you!

What a wonderful and sweet story. I'm definitely a believer in FATE and things that are meant to happen. I wish you both lots of happiness

The picture you included that he took of you is so charming and flattering! I can feel your shy happiness through the screen and it's heartwarming! ❤

I thought you would say you met at school or something but this story was so unexpected and much more romantic! Everything was just meant to be 💖 thanks for sharing

Ohhhh...I'm from Berlin and I traveled the world last year alone (as a woman) and in Vietnam I've had the same experience in a garden twice. A group of students asked me if they can practice their English. They where so shy an cute. It was very nice.

She was done with watching kdramas only to experience one! This is like a beautiful novel story that’ll I’ll enjoy in summer nights.😂❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing!❤️❤️

What a wonderful, heartwarming story- it’s amazing how you two managed to connect despite the language barrier (it can be challenging getting to know someone with beginner phrases). BTW your English is excellent (when I went to Vietnam I was terrible At Vietnamese as it’s predominantly tonal based). You could obviously both sense each others inner hearts.

Two more shy people, okay one calm .. such a sweet story.

My partner and I met in a video game. I totally understand your last point that we could've easily missed each other if we had done things differently. For us, I was quite new to online gaming. He had been playing since forever but decided to try an easier lobby because of boredom. Lol Because of his goofiness, I enjoyed his company and added him to my friends list after a full night of gaming. Our relationship was also a long distance one, and I somehow ended up in Montreal with two kids. We're still going strong 10 years later. Life is unpredictable.

I love hearing about how couples met and this story did not disappoint! So cute!! :D

The "Hi" - "Hi" poster in the background made me subscribe at last

My parents met abroad, because my mom was talking to a friend in our mother tongue and my dad was so happy to hear his native language, he asked to join them for coffee

I just love the 2 of you! I had a German boyfriend (he lived in the U.S.) He was wonderful! We were together for 5 years, but ultimately, we wanted different things from a partner, so we became good friends. He died very young, and I miss him most days. I hope you two grow together and remain so very cute and perfect for eachother forever!

I was having a pretty depressing day, but this video showed up on my feed and your story made me feel better. Thank you for sharing!

My husband and I met on a dating app, but we both had that same "this is my soulmate" feeling on our first date. It's funny, because I almost didn't go! I had been feeling discouraged after a string of bad dates and didn't feel up to it. But I had rescheduled once already, and didn't want to do it a second time. So I went! I'm so glad I did, because it was the best date I've ever been on! It's been about 5 years but I still think about that night often. 🎉 Here's to soulmates!

Your story sounds like how I wanted my story with my crush to go. He was German as well and I loved him so much, unfortunately it didn’t go as planned. Although you gave me hope for my future with someone else. I’ll be studying for university in Erfurt, and I hope to meet my man, for real this time ahah. Always like your content and your humor 💜

Kinda nice to see someone else who is camerashy but still trying and being respected by others. Like in this day and age it's basically unheard of and no one understands how it feels for us or invalidates our feelings Q-Q

I love how because both of you went out of your comfort zones and was then pushed by friends and an uncomfortable hotel that you found eachother! Actual soulmates! Also that picture he took just before you met is so beautiful! My heart races thinking of how it's the moment before you connected! Thanks Uyen and German Fiancé for sharing!

That's just such a sweet story to listen to. Hope you guys have a great future together!

this 8 minutes may be most heart-warming minutes of my life,what a cute story!

Love you for being intelligent, funny and so down to earth. Much love to the two of you, best of luck with your exam! And I can't hardly wait for part 2!

You are absolutely adorable and I love your videos! Go forth into the world and share your wonderfulness! German boyfriend seems like a good soul and a keeper!

This is so sweet! I'm so happy you guys met and that you share your adventures with us!

I met my husband on tinder while on a 2 year work visa in NZ. When you talked about how if either one of you had done one small thing differently you would have never have met, it really resonated with me. One swipe right on an app while traveling changed my life forever. It's crazy to think about, I loved hearing your story.

I respect his privacy and am SO PROUD of German Boyfriend!! He's so adorable and I love that he feels comfy setting those boundaries!! Y'all are so cute and I'm so happy you get to enjoy each other's wonderful presence 🥺💜

Soulmates are definitely real. I also thank God every day for mine! You two have such a sweet story! I’m so glad that you found each other, and are building such an amazing life together!

Beautiful story, I'm glad you two found each other. Have a wonderful life together.

You are so funny and nice and interesting. Your shorts make me laugh, you are a talented comédienne. And your English is so fluent and so good. Congratulations, you two are a great couple and good luck on your exams.

What a sweet and romantic story! Life finds a way!

I love that painting of two bears watching the sunset!

I love your story! The face filter beginning is actually kind of fitting as its such fairytale, dream- come-true feeling to it. Tears of happiness for you. ❤

I was smiling throughout Uyeh!! This is so sweet and thank you so much for sharing it with us ❤

This is one of the cutest “how we met” stories I’ve ever heard!

This is such an adorable story. I'm glad you guys chose him to talk to. ❤

Your story is uplifting and encouraging. Thank you for sharing it

I am so freaking excited and happy. This is so sweet.

Oh My Goodness Uyen! Your story is adorable! I'm from Puerto Rico and my Norwegian-Lithuanian husband is from California, and we met 14 years ago in Romania doing an archaeological excavation [and my first European trip]. If my husband had not failed Latin, he wouldn't have ended up in Archaeology and participating in that dig. There wouldn't have been ANY chance of us meeting. I had the same feeling as you, and I was confused as I had not dated before but I am happy I gave him a chance. Please tell us the second part! My husband is very similar to Mr. German BF, it's too funny. I wish you both nothing but happiness, abundance, love, and health. May you live many years together in happiness.

I love this story so much! thank you for sharing it with us:) I grew up in Thailand as an American and I can relate to a lot of the cultural differences you talk about in other videos between western countries and Asia. You are a great story teller! I am glad you two met - what a beautiful experience!

Beautiful love story! Wishing you guys lots of love and happiness! Random encounters might have big outcomes in the future, that is just awesome.

What a sweet story!! Fills my heart with joy to see you two come together despite distance & barriers!!! Yaaay for Yous!!! 🤩🫶🏼

This is really cute, your story should be made into a movie😭😭💗

This reminds me a lot of how my hubs and I met. If even one thing was a tiny bit different, we would have never met. Its a really magical feeling :)

This is sooo beautiful ❣️ I thank God for your union too. We all get to benefit 🤗 Blessings!

8 min felt so short! This story was over too fast! I loved it & I can’t wait to hear part 2

I love the “affordable” shout, it made me lol. The story of your meeting is very sweet 😊 best of luck with your exam ☘️ And many years of happiness to you both 💜

Aww thanks for sharing! This was so sweet. Love how he is getting more comfortable as well.

Such a beautiful story about how you guys met! Thank you for sharing this with us!

That's such a cute story! Also props to you for being so brave to talk to foreigners to improve your English. That's so brave.

This is the cutest story about how you guys met, and definitely very coincidentally. It is funny how life takes you by surprise sometimes. Loved this video, thank you for sharing🥰

I love hearing stories about how people met. Wow so fantastic and wonderful. You two were meant to be together.

I have a silly grin listening to your story. How awesome! Lucky that you found each other. I wish you joy!

I was going to study for my test and now here I'm clicking on the video as fast as I can 😶

Good luck in your exams Uyen! This is very random but is that a capybara in the background (right-hand side)? It looks cute!

Love your genuineness and honesty.

Watching you two discover each other’s cultures reminds me of my undergrad days tasting every flavour of the world in Toronto. 💜💜

Your humor is absolutely spot on.."please talk to me,be my friend" killed me

I’m very hormonal today and I am over here CRYING because your love and your story is so sweet!! 🥹☺️ thank you for sharing! As someone that can relate to both of you when it comes to that fear of socializing and the unknown etc…. I’m so proud of both of you!!

언니 너무 재밌어요 항상 행복하시길 바래요 ❤

This was so sweet! Please share part 2 of the story!

This is truly interesting, thank you for this content Uyen
