I am in my early 60s and retired at 53. Lots of people gave me pushback because they had difficulty grasping the concept of not working if you don’t have to. I looked at my life as stages. I earned everything I have now through a lot of hard work, but I owe it to myself to “stop and smell the roses” in my final stage of life. In my case I left the country after I retired and live in Latin America. It allowed me to get away from all the negative things happening in America while appreciating my new environment. I have yet to meet anyone who regrets retirement.

For Da Nang, I'm here now and I disagree on it not having lots of meetups. There's meetups every night. Multiple. There's Whatsapp groups for individual interests too. If you want to be, you can be social every night. I've been to three meet ups this weekend alone. I'm loving this city so much.

I like the message on your shirt 😊. Great content too ❤.

I started my Latin AMerican journey in Oaxaca CIty living in a nice apartment for less than $500 a month. I lived near the Walmart where there are no parks or anywhere else to go. The people in that area were not friendly, but I stayed until I could not stand the Firecrackers going off all night. I escaped to Costa Rica. Currently, I am staying at the Banana Hostel in the Candelaria de Bogota. I have a private room for about $14 a day, but I share the bathrooms and kitchen with the other guests when there are any. Ususally, I am the only one. If others come, they ususally have the dorm to themselves. I am ready to move on to another city or town in Colombia. I am thinking Medellin and then Jardin.

As ever, tons of carefully curated content: on the ground perspective coupled with research, delivered clearly and concisely. And some surprise destinations! Thank you for continually opening up the world to us. Awesome shirt! 💗

Great info Kristin! Love the shirt too. 💗

Most cities in Taiwan are also this affordable (< US$900/month). If you are a Caucasian, native English speaker, it's easy to find an English teaching job in Taiwan, and even their part-time position is enough to pay for your living expenses! If you don't want to teach but willing to work at restaurants, there are a few jobs in Taiwan too. Third option is to enter Taiwan as tourist, exit Taiwan every couple months before your passport's Taiwan entry stamp date, fly to somewhere close (e.g. Hong Kong, Okinawa, Palau), then return to Taiwan. Those flights are very affordable.

Greetings Kristin 👋Thank you for yet another informative content, but what really caught my eye was the perspectives on your T-shirt! For over 25 years I have filled my job applications as follows: Nationality-Planet Earth, Race-Human and to date only one HR department re-questioned my nationality! 🙂I would have ordered a T-shirt to support your friend, but I can't say that I'm fully aligned with it all. In my view it should say: Birthplace-Earth, Race-Human, Politics-Open Dialogue, Religion-Love w/ Respect, Language-Education. (no weaponization in my book! ;-) Farewell wherever you are these days. 🙏

Thanks so much Kristin for all the effort you put in this create these videos. I'm heading to Da Nang, finally able to be nomadic full time after many years trying to get here. Sold almost everything i have and feeling so light and agile :)

Interesting 'off-radar' places that offer cultural experiences cheap! 👍

One of the most exciting things to do outside Dahab is trekking Saint Katherine Protectorate at 2am to see the morning sunrise 🌄 Mt. Sinai!!!

Thanks, Kristin for the very educational content you put together with every video, definitely no waste. Lately, I have heard beautiful things about the Dominican Republic, and because it's so close to the US (my home base) I am considering moving there. I'd love your thoughts and opinions about this island since digital nomads are moving there at an increasing volume/rate. It'd be great to see anything from you, on the Dominican Republic, thanks in advance.

Love your channel, Kristin! Thank you!

I love that message on your tee.! And you're looking so gorgeous as usual.!

My Problem is Cold Weather, For me, 75F - 80F Degrees everyday is Perfect, Argentina and Colombia are Cheap But they Have Cold Weather and that's a Problem For Me ......... i lived in New York City For 16 years and they were the worst years of my life because of the Cold Weather, i Felt like an ice Cream

Don’t always subscribe and like every new video like this I watch. However really like the breakdown of this video ! Instant thumbs up and subscribe !

Hey 👋🏼 Ms K! I Love Andrew too! Nomad Capitalist!!! Appreciate your POV & Experience! 💛🩵🧡

As always, another terrific video. MANY thanks!

glad to see my home country EGYPT in the 1st place, Dahab is an amazing destination and it has breathtaking landscapes, thank you for highlighting Dahab and Egypt and you are all welcomed to our country :)

What on earth would you do in Dahab, when not looking at your laptop? It has a population of ca. 3000 people and is basically a small beach village. Criteria for a location to *live* are different from a two-week vacation spot.

Super awesome T-shirt. I retired to Thailand from America a year ago. I always answer straight forward to the locals because I feel they are more genuine with the question, "Where are you from?" But for non-Thais, my answer is typically "Earth".

Great video TravelingwithKristen!

Well done Kristin! I traveled Egypt from Alexandria to Abu Simbel, and truthfully would NEVER have considered it to be a Nomad destination?!? (Perhaps my psyche was permanently marked by seeing that the usual method of ingress & egress for Cairo municipal transit is via bus windows. And by seeing that the best seats in 3rd class rail involved laying in the luggage racks, so that chickens did not crap on your feet. Or by having to reclaim my flip flops from a black African who was wearing mine to go to breakfast at the Cairo Youth Hostel. Or by my all time record for cheap accommodation: $1 US per nite in Aswan, although the walls were not plumb, due to a prior earthquake. Or by the macaroni & rice dinners < $ 1 US. What a place...)

Great video, i’m 27 and trying to retire young and many of these places are on my list!

What I like most about you is your Spanish language skills. 😄

You are welcome!

I had rhinoplasty in Türkiye in late 2023. I stayed in Istanbul and I spent $300 on food and exploring for 11 days. I had the best manicure of my life, and the most amazing hair blowout for next to nothing at one of the top salons in Istanbul which was awarded best salon every year since 2016. I loved Istanbul. The only thing I didn’t like was allllllllll the smoking.

I love the inscriptions on your Shirt. Lovely video, by the way

Good to see more places to add as potential cheap places to go. I don't think I've ever heard either India or Egypt listed as digital nomad destinations.

Well thought, full of surprises video!

I'd also add Florianópolis or Balneário Camboriú to the list. Southern Brazil is wonderful 🙂

Thanks Kristin. Love the shirt

Going to Mexico for the 1st time on September 1st. Blitzing 4 scuba dives with the new license, a couple of cenotes, the sea turtles & a quadbike jungle tour. ... Just hope we don't suffer at the mercy of the weather.

Thank you for sharing. Becoming digital nomad is the fastest way out of corporate slavery and towards financial freedom. Being able to choose your location is the best arbitrage opportunity ever. I moved to Quito, Ecuador 3 years ago and have no regrets. Very short and easy path to permanent residency so I can travel out of the country for 6 months a year while keeping my residency

Other than youtube channel, where do future expats go to learn from current expats? Are there forums that are particularly popular?

I've already been doing freelance work for Microsoft, Meta, etc since the summer of 2021 right within the US. Now the idea of living and working abroad seems more and more interesting as the political situation here gets to crap. I will look at your book and course on the subject.

Dahab looks great. I stayed up the coast in Nuweibaa a while ago. The internet was slow, being 1984, but the cost of accommodation pretty reasonable ($0, sleeping in a sleeping bag on the beach: not sure how that would fly now). Mt Sinai was an bus ride away and you could sleep atop the mountain in those days. Moses was long gone. Fascinating part of the world. Great list, thank you.

Im planning on heading to Argentina in september, i cant wait

Very good video

Great info, thank you very much!👍

¡Love your shirt!

I'm surprised Philippines had no towns on this list. I've been to Thailand stop in the Philippines in Thailand's more advanced of course but the Philippines you can go with a regular visa and just keep extending it for 3 years leave one day come back and do it again there's not many places you can do that without buying a certain kind of Visa

Hi Kristin, do you have any tips on how to protect yourself from tropical diseases? I am primarily referring to diseases transmitted by mosquitoes.

Thanks so much, Kristan!

Thank you for this info. I'll be 54 this month and realized if I stay in America I'll have to work until I die basically. I will be leaving eventually. Now just trying to learn as much as I can.

your channel is awesome, thanks!

Thanks!

I want one of those shirts Kristin.

Love the t-shirt Kristin ❤

Race = Human. I love it.

Another great video! Did Mitch pick Cali over Bogota for safety considerations as well? Thank you!

Thanks Kristin. Another inspirational and informative video. Just pray these gems don’t become Californicated and thus affordable only to the wealthy elite.

Finally India made it to your list :) Since last year one can use 5G which has good speeds of above 500 Mbps on a phone and hotspot - this is for less than $7 per month :) - unlimited 5G package. One can also get classic broadband internet - here expats can take 1 Gbps speed at $50/month and Basic 100 Mbps is for around $10 per month. Travel within India for around $50-70 per one way flight normally. Lots of excellent cities outside New Delhi to visit as well: Chandigarh, Mumbai, Pune, Goa, Munnar, Dehradun, Rishikesh, and numerous others. All India cities can give you the highest affordability, especially if living outside the major metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. No country is perfect, just like San Francisco you will find dirty smelly areas every now and then, however, India does beat many in terms of affordability, technology and cost of living and above all the cuisine is rated in top 5 in the world. Acceptance to LGBTQ is still a distant dream so keep a low profile if in the spectrum. Lots of love.

I enjoy your videos, clear and informative. Where are you in this video; looks like a very lovely setting on an ocean. Would you share location please?

I want someplace with warm weather, not far from nice beaches, laid back vibe yet clubs bars and restaurants. Boating, horses. Not to far from major overland park with a great hospital. A place I could work teaching English, trollies and cheap transportation so I don’t need a car and a vibrant expat community. Does it exist at these prices?

As of 15 July 2024, Thailand increased their free visa from 30 days to 60 days for most countries.

Hi Kristin, thanks for another great video! Just wondering where you were in this video? It reminds me of Sentosa in Singapore? 🙂

Looking to visit Lombok by 2026. Thanks for the video!

Kristin; love you!

Where did you get your shirt!? I love it!

I love your T-shirt.

Love your shirt.

KL is okay--just can’t walk anywhere, as it’s so spread out and good luck if there’s a side walk. It’s very advanced too, so it gives me American vibes, which I don’t “love” when trying to avoid that🤣 Great medical care there though. I highly recommend anything in Malaysia’s medical system. Top notch and very affordable-whilst speaking English

❤ the t-shirt

I’ve seen countries like Turkey and Argentina have high inflation rates. Does that help or hurt digital nomads? Thanks for all of your great videos!

Another great video! Love the shirt! Where can I find it?

Thank you so much for the video

Thanks

Where can I get a shirt like yours

Love your videos, but I'm a bit outdated; I'm looking to be an analog nomad

$860 isn't EXTREMLY cheap

Ugh, those commercials S😮 Factor in pollution levels, like smoking a carton of cigarettes a day without lighting up.

I love the culture

I like your shirt ❤

Delhi is ok if you have high resistance to bad smells

Peace is good.

I like your T-shirt

Istanbul is definetely not cheap now even for tourists. It was 2 years ago, but not now.On the contrary, very expensive.

wooow nice shirt

Is it safe to stay in mexico oxaca?

Im from turkey but i live in london but i don’t know if I agree with istanbul you need money to live good quality of life there even more so 3 grand a month

Please don't recommend already crowded and overcrowded cities/places such as Istanbul and (New) Delhi, and (New) Delhi it's also too polluted and too chaotic. Bogota? Cali? Bogota it's drabby and kind of ugly, Cali it's not a safe city and currently in a region that the army is in war with the guerrillas! Somehow you forgot to recommend the coffee region towns of Colombia, currently the safest and best there.

Would appreciate maps

I’d only love to be with Kristin ❤

glad to know that! I can see you spent a lot of time grooming before the camera. Nice on our eyes 👀

You look more happy.😊

Thailand is too frickin' hot/humid...and the language barrier makes one feel isolated...I lived there for 6 months and one of the best days in my life is when I flew out of Bangkok...not for me.

re: shirt. you forgot 'superpowers'

I lived in Georgetown, Penang for 4 months. Hmmmm, it’s okay. Muslim, so call to prayer is very load 5x per day, no public displays of affection, drinks are very expensive, so very feee bars to meet people--and mostly men, as Muslim women aren’t there. Loads, I mean loads of Chinese tourists by the bus loads that take up restaurants, cool areas, and shopping and they tend to be load and stay in their own cohort of temporary friends. I tried all, I mean all, of the coworking spaces there and I only liked one, and unfortunately there was no talking, no events, no community, etc….though great for simply working. The traffic is horrific…I wouldn’t get a scooter there as I would in other places. And, the water is not fit for swimming. The drain water from restaurants, buildings, fish markets, etc runs into the ocean. So that’s enough for the beach there. I dated a local while there and he explained to me the good and the bad--and the why’s. I do think I had an accurate experience. I’ve also been to over 60 countries, lived on 4 continents for at least a few years, and speak multiple languages, so I feel that my opinion is legit🙃👍

Oaxaca 300$ rent....i am nott sure about this 🎉🎉🎉 did you visit lately

What i like about your videos.. honestly is your 🙂 smile and also your channel being precise. I would definitely would wanna date you if i was close to you.😊 (35yrs.)

Turkey had 70% inflation last year.

Anyone summarize the video

57% of the Argentina population is living under the poverty line

Free Constantinople Occupied since 29 May 1453.
