About Americans Living Abroad
Americans Living Abroad launched in June 2025 and has grown to about 95 thousand subscribers with roughly 19 million total views across 65 videos. The channel publishes multiple times a month and focuses on authentic interviews and first person stories from Americans who relocated overseas. Videos commonly include apartment tours, rent and cost of living breakdowns, and life-in-country interviews filmed in places like Vietnam, the Philippines, Spain, Japan and Thailand. Episodes range from short to mid-length and emphasize real-life choices and everyday routines rather than glossy travel cinema.
If you want plainspoken, practical portraits of expat life, this channel delivers. The videos feel like conversations you might overhear at a coffee shop: candid, detail oriented and centered on how people actually pay for and live their new lives. It is best for viewers curious about cost of living, housing and the daily rhythms of Americans living in Southeast Asia and Europe. Standout entries include the viral Da Nang apartment tour that shows life on very modest rents. The channel uploads frequently, so there is usually something new each week.
