Welcome to episode 93 of The American Dream in the Eyes of Immigrants Podcast. I am your host, Heidy De La Cruz, and I am on a mission to change the narrative of immigration one immigrant story at a time!

Polly, an SEO writer and consultant, shares her journey from South Carolina to Vietnam and then to the Virgin Islands, highlighting her experiences teaching abroad and starting her business. Today, she shares about her move to Vietnam, which was driven by burnout and boredom as a teacher. This move opened her eyes to different cultures and lifestyles, which led to reverse culture shock upon returning to the US.

Breaking her foot in Vietnam led her to explore remote work. Ultimately, she started her SEO business, assisting businesses with website content and Google visibility. Polly emphasizes the importance of exploring beyond one’s bubble, meeting new people, and creating a business that aligns with personal values and goals.

The American dream, according to Polly, involves recognizing opportunities and working hard to achieve a version of success, which is unique to each individual.

With Love, Heidy
