@@2GoRoam Thank you for your most kind comment! Indeed, I have been enjoying your channel from the beginning when you were selling up and saying your farewells. Your Liverpool trip made me want to visit the city and I now notice that lots of bbc tv programs are filmed there, so a trip will be planned. Although I haven’t been in the comments, I have been watching and enjoying the adventure as it unfolds. I think that your observations of your comments section are correct, lots of folk don’t get it. Society is set up in a most repetitive fashion where we are conditioned to work hard at school, get a job, have a family and work until we drop or retire at 67. You guys haven’t exactly stuck to that traditional plan and have indeed planned and executed your escape to explore something a little different. Im sure some folks have always done this type of thing, but, social media now allows the world to jump onboard for the ride. Since watching yours and other retired early vlogs, I have stopped buying unnecessary consumer items, focused on my health/ wellness, begun to invest in dividend stocks and formed my own ‘escape’ committee. I hope to sell off a lifetime of gathered items in the coming months and invest the proceeds to fund my own adventures. In the meantime, please continue to travel the path less traveled and blog the life that lots of us wished we’d planned for 20 years ago! 👍😀

Great to hear about the consumer items, that is the first and one of the most difficult things. Sarah talks about the 72 hour rule.... basically if you have the urge to buy... leave it 72 hours and see if you still have the urge, often you would have forgotten you even wanted it. Thanks so much man, we really appreciate having you here.

@@2GoRoam Yes, I have implemented Sarah’s 72 hour rule lol. When sorting out items for sale, I’ve been oddly unsettled about deciding to sell things I haven’t picked up or used for 20 years or more!? I am slowly fighting the hoarding urge, however it’s not as easy as I had imagined….. Still, the pot of cash from the sales is satisfyingly growing and that’s the point. This will potential allow freedoms only once dreamed of, off to make some money!

Hi Neil and Sarah, wow lots of questions that you got through there! Interesting to hear your answers - you had me and Donna nodding away at most of them. One thing that I have personally been surprised about which you touched on within the video is seeing just how well developed other countries are. We will often be walking around I will repeatly mention it. Like you said, in the UK we live in this box and it has been so amazing to see what's out there. In terms of inflation I was saying to Donna the other day that I'm so glad we sold everything because it would have affected us a lot more being in the UK right now. Excellent video as usual 👌

Great video! I agree if you do something you love, then low hourly pay is worthwhile. But keeping a relaxed perspective and putting yours + your partner’s happiness first will help you enjoy it + focus on the fun. I also agree, being raised in our countries in our ivory towers, we develop some perspectives that don’t benefit us. When we can travel and feel more acceptance of the way things are done in other countries, we also discover why so many people in developing countries are so happy with less. It’s a perspective of focusing on what’s right, and it doesn’t come naturally but as we practice it, it brings soooo much more joy ✨

These next two years are just dragging by waiting for my husband to retire so that we can slow travel, too. I find the information that y’all share with us every week is so valuable in preparing us for what lies ahead. I hope someday we can meet up somewhere in the world and enjoy a beer together (although it would have been nice to have some in your former ivory tower, too. 😂🤣).

Another wonderful video! I really resonate with the intentional aspects of travel (and other parts of life). Intentionality is so critical in making the most out of anything. I look forward to seeing what comes next with this subtle shift. So it seems like you're carrying substantially less than when you started your journey. I would really be interested in knowing what you travel with specifically, what you eliminated, and why you eliminated those items.

It takes a lot of courage to "dare greatly", as Brene' Brown, famous author, wrote. I want to take my state pension and use "geo arbitrage" to my advantage- I learned that term in your video :). It gives me hope that I too can do some slow travel, instead of the same old thing and maybe retire earlier that I could if staying in the US. I especially appreciate your meticulous budgeting and demonstrating how it can be done. I also think Neil being a former banker must help you in that pursuit. Don't let others misinformed comments deter you from your dreams. ❤

Your video wasn't intended for us, but we love it. I'm always amazed at hearing that you have critics. I don't get it. We enjoyed watching the Crocodile hunter even though we wouldn't do it. (May he rest in peace and YES we just compared you two to the Crocodile Hunter!) We enjoy the work that you do every week to let us into the world as you see and experience it because we relate to you.

Thanks so much for your views and information. Being a retired nomad couple, we spend about 8-10 months on the road outside of the U.S, we have been on the road for more than 6 years now. We spend the rest of the time back in the US visiting children, doing medical checkups, tax processes, etc, and just making sure our lives are easily maintainable while overseas We house sit when we either need some downtime or when we want to ease our financial footprint. (Covid did see us house sitting in the US for a solid year....it made our next trip financially a breeze.) Being blessed and able to live off of our pension, our savings are untouched. We will travel to Spain for a month, South Africa (our third visit in as many years) for 3 months, and Zambia 3 months and then we are open. We hope to travel until we are physically unable to and find that you have a realistic view and plan in place and enjoy your ability to be honest in your videos and flexible. We certainly will look for you while we are on the road and hope that we will meet up one day. Thank you so much for sharing your videos, we love them!

I used to do so much with early videos, other perks, trying to send postcards, but honestly they all seem to just want to support and don't expect anything. I post regularly but many don't check Patreon and don't have notifications on. I would say that KZfaq negatively affects the travel experience. One reason I'm bringing it to a close after 6 years is that travel is so focused on filming. I don't experience travel or remember anything. I'm looking forward to travelling with out a camera. I wouldn't recommend it. Bizarrely I hate filming but enjoy editing! I think it's my creative side. On that note, I've gotta go out filming! Speak soon you two! X

Hey Kirsten! Really appreciate the comment, firstly we take your point on Patreon and we are still figuring out what we think of the concept and what it can give us (beyond the money side). There is the superthanks on KZfaq that you will see below our videos too. With regard to Property vs Real Estate, the variables are mind-boggling they really are and one of the variables that has to be considered is the quality of the market for rental. Where we lived in the UK was a small town and not exactly a destination town either so for us, the rental side would have been too up/down to be able to be sure. If as you say you are in an area with a hot rental market that changes the landscape. I have mentioned that I am working on a video relating to that and I am, thing is... it is very complicated and I am setting aside 2 hours a week at the moment for planning. I hope it to be shot and uploaded in around 6 weeks. So watch this space, I want to do the subject real justice. Best regards, Neil & Sarah

Hi Neil and Sarah, always good to watch your videos. As you may know from previous comments, I am a seasoned traveler and am now in retirement so it is 6 months plus or minus in my flat in Honolulu, rent it out for 6 months (I wanted to sell the place and move to France but my kids rioted on me!) and off to UK, France and Italy. Living in the US with the most outrageously expensive and frankly often mediocre healthcare system in the world, I relax when I am outside on that front! So yes anybody who wants to come this direction watch out! So definitely geo-arbitrage works very well coming from here (just spent $140 for two salads, three glasses of wine and a bottle of mineral water out with a friend at a swanky restaurant in Seattle). I never eat out in Honolulu - a glass of wine can approach $20 with tip and tax! I figure when someone comes to stay with me for a week and wants to thank me we can do dinner out at their expense. As for the trolls, I have just finished my teaching career (17 years banking plus 17 years teaching at university) what is terrific is your job evaluation is there for the world to see! Rate My Professor. So if someone wants to trash you at even a very personal level, they do. Like what you do with comments, I try to see if there is any objective merit in the negative stuff and also realize that people with bad grades and or chips on their shoulder (your cases of negative folks here) are the ones that are going to go out of their way to comment while those who are enthralled (most of the people who comment here) will also make comments. You are now over 10K subscribers and I think that on its own is an indication of your success and value to your followers. You guys are genuinely entertaining just being your natural selves so keep up the good work and the valuable content! Cheers, Rod

Chiang Mai is, well... slightly more cost effective :-) The subject of the trolls is an interesting one, what I (Neil) have had to do, to help with her mental health, is basically keep Sarah away from the comments. She doesn't need to read that stuff and I will read her ALL the other comments. That is actually working out really well for us, as with me reading her the comments, that means we are discussing them between us and that in turn makes us feel a lot closer to our viewers. I haven't read her this one yet, but when I do... it will go like this... "So we have had a really interesting comment regarding costs and also talking about negative comments....." Sarah will ask "Who", I will say "Reg" and she is likely to think for a second and say "Hawaii?" We enjoy those exchanges a lot. All very cool. Thank you Reg.

Thank you for your very informative video. When Sarah mentions chemist, is that also known as a pharmacist?

Hey Linda! Very kind of you to say, we really appreciate it and you taking the time to comment. Yep, pharmacist and chemist is interchangeable in the UK but Chemist is probably the best word in the UK.... If you are in the UK and want a pharmacy, ask for the Chemist, that will get you there quicker :-) Best regards, Neil & Sarah

I really like you use the proper words: Boot (not truck) Fortnite (not two weeks) Schedule (well, the way you say it - haha) Please don't change. It is very appealing to hear you in regular English - Do you do: breakfast dinner supper? no? what then? I will just listen and find out!! haha. This is a very good vid: it is like being on the sound stage watching rocket launch at mission control. Very enjoyable!!

Hey Tim! Thanks for getting in touch again, we like you being around here. We actually try to make our videos work for all audiences but you are right.... actually, you have given me an idea! I think when we do that, we will translate the Britishism at the bottom of the screen :-) Best regards, Neil & Sarah

@@2GoRoam Haha. Subtitles!! would be great! what is the translation for "Schedule"!! Please keep saying it your way!! I can enjoy your vids, but not as much as someone from UK, with the similarity of aps, banking, culture will have. The more you express your issues, your solutions, the more a UK traveler is going: "Hey! That's what I need!" The thing that I get from you, that no else can do? You sold your Frigkin HOUSE@!! wow. You are both younger than me and you both amaze me with your plan~ (more phones than suitcases!! hahaha)

Love this video- you guys are adorable ! I personally disliked Chiang Mai (allergies to some of their herbs in the north), but Bangkok was my home for so many years. If you need any tips on cool local hangouts in Bangkok- let me know !! Slow travel... not very new... I remember when I started nomading in 2016, I spent 3 months in Bucharest - and people called me a slow-mad :) I travel slow due to health issues as well... But it's amazing!! You can really get to know a place. Have you ever been to Bansko? in Bulgaria... It's a great nomadic hub for so many different digital nomads. I have been here since May 2021, I got an EU passport so making residency was super easy. So many Brits in town it's insane ! A lot bought property here and before the official brexit- they got residency for that. Bulgaria in general can be awesome to travel to, and as it's not schengen, you get 90 days visa separate from Schengen zone. KZfaq is so different when it comes to a niche... i make a lot more per ad view on my channel as it's about making money online... However, there are more ways for you to monetize your journey... For example- selling stock footage on sites like Pond5, or start print on demand for photography from around the world. just an idea

also, a small tip... some of your links on the descriptions don't contain so they are not clickable, mind you that can affect affiliate commission :)
