EP 11: Whitney Dagail - The Baton Rouge Native on the Black American Woman Living in Vietnam Experience

This week, we’re hopping on a flight from Baton Rouge, Louisiana straight to the “motherland” of motorbikes and iced coffee: Hanoi, Vietnam. Our tour guide? The one and only Whitney Dagail — culture creator and social media sweetheart!In this episode, Whitney breaks down why she traded Southern humidity for Vietnamese humidity (spoiler: the mosquitos are in a league of their own), what it’s really like being a Black American woman navigating life in Vietnam, and how salsa dancing somehow follows her across continents. We get into the essentials: Cash Money vs. No Limit (there is a right answer), mo-ped life survival tips, housing costs that’ll make your U.S. rent cry, the Vietnamese squat as a personality test, and how to make friends in a place where you don’t speak the language but everyone speaks “vibe.”Plus, we sprinkle in a little Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, and SWV — because what is a global Black girl conversation without a soundtrack?Grab your Vietnamese coffee (extra strong), loosen those hips, and get ready to laugh, learn, and side-eye a few mosquitos. This episode is a whole journey. 🌏🎧Be sure to follow Whitney at her socials below:📸 Instagram: @whitneydagail💼 Whitney's start up: @homii.global🙂 And don't forget to snag your Walmak gear at AlwaysWalmak.com✌️ And follow me on IG at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠walmak.podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Tập 11: Whitney Dagail – Từ Louisiana đến Hà NộiChúng ta bay từ Baton Rouge, Louisiana thẳng đến "vùng đất tổ" của xe máy và cà phê sữa đá: Hà Nội, Việt Nam.
