Not related to the topic, but guys, you should totally do a detailed video about how you two met. Several youtuber/blogger couples who've done such videos said they were the most watched videos of all time on their channels. People just can't get enough of real life "happily ever after" stories.

We just got back from a Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand vacation in January 2024. One of the reasons we traveled there was because of the affordability. Even though it was budget friendly we still thought it was probably the best vacation we have ever been on. We could enjoy eating at a nice restaurant and not be concerned about the cost. At many of our travel destinations, like you, we sometimes would fix our own meal at our apartment instead of going to an expensive restaurant. We spent a month there and always ate at a restaurant. . We visited Da Nang and Chiang Mai and loved them both. Probably the highlight of our vacation was a visit to an elephant resort about an hour away from Chiang Mia. The incredible interaction we had with the elephants was probably our most memorable traveling experience ever!!! The bamboo raft ride was another fun activity at the resort. The staff was very accommodating, I had left my passport at the resort and they went above and beyond to make sure it was returned to me after we had left to relocate in Chiang Mia. In one of the cities, in SE Asia, I was blown away when we only had to pay 68 cents for a taxi ride to a place that was to far away to walk too.

@markroylance6486 4 ай бұрын

The elephant resort we stayed at was the Tawan Riverside Elephant Resort. It cost only $35 for a cabin, but the elephant experiences were more than I expected. Even though we had to pay for experiences, we thought it was well worth it. The bamboo raft ride was a bargain. One of the experiences was with an elephant in the river that would lay down in the water then we would smear it with mud and then wash it off by throwing buckets of water on it. But what was really special was when we had a photo shoot, with my wife and I together and individually, in which we would sit on the elephants front leg. It would then hug us with it's trunk, kiss us with it's trunk and then playfully blow water on us. You have to visit this resort.

Great video and content. We are planning on retiring in the next 1-2 years and traveling hopefully a few months out of the year. This is the best video I have seen with excellent variety of locations with your feet on the ground and prices to back up the cost. Thank you so much! 😊 We spent some time in Chiang Mai and Phuket a few years back when my daughter was teaching English in Thailand, and you are spot on for pricing in Chiang Mai and things to do. When we were there about 7 years ago, you could get a plate of Pad Thai for a dollar at one of the night markets, but I am sure it has gone up since. We hope to go back.

I know that people love Chang Mai. With regard to Da Nang, I have a friend that is a world traveler. He absolutely raved about Da Nang. Somehow, Vietnam was not really on my radar screen. However, Da Nang was number one on your video. This really opens my eyes to this place. My friend also said the people are very, very nice! Well done. Thank you for all that you do.

I totally agree with the Algarve being affordable! I stayed in Olhão, right next to Faro last April. I had a fantastic studio rental that cost me $42 US a night. The hosts were amazing and even picked me up from the bus when I arrived, then took me on a tour of the city. As an American I can say I had no idea I'd ever get that kind of hospitality! It was walkable for me, though it was a bit over a mile to get to Aldi, a little further to the Mercado and boat dock. I took a ferry for about 5 euro round trip to Ilha do Farol with is a gorgeous little island and stunning beach!

Another outstanding video! I really appreciated this one particularly. I’m always looking at affordable places to visit, as we are budget travelers, too. Most of the videos I watch about ‘affordable’ places don’t actually work out to be affordable at all. The biggest issue is usually housing. We use primarily Airbnb and they don’t reflect the cost of living in the areas they’re in. It’s so frustrating because that’s the majority of the travel budget. We generally try to stay at $700 a month or less which is challenging, for sure. We are leaving tonight to fly to Tirana, Albania. We’re so very excited to finally be going there! I have been dreaming of visiting Albania ever since I watched your videos on it. We hope to stay for a year there, exploring Albania and the nearby countries during that year. Brian, I was laughing so hard watching you back pedal on your comment about comparing the Turkish food to Carrie’s cooking. 😂🤣😂🤣 I just wanted to let you know that Paraguay is an extremely affordable country, too. We have been here since December 28th and have really enjoyed it. We spent the least amount of money on an Uber last night. Wondering if I beat your best price? My Uber cost $1.50…..and that included a tip! 😮😮😮 As always, thanks for the hard work you put into making these wonderful videos! Safe travels.

@BrianandCarrie 5 ай бұрын

Unfortunately, housing costs seem to be going up. $700 may be possible in SE Asia, South America, and part of the Balkans, like Albania but getting more and more difficult to find. We are hoping to get to Argentina, Paraguay, and Chile next year. As always thank you for watching!! Enjoy Albania and safe travels! Cheers!!🍻

Spent 2 weeks visiting Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and phnom penh Cambodia with a 2 week cruise that included ports in Vietnam, Malaysia , Thailand, Singapore. Chiang Mai ia a special place for me. It was not as hot and humid and busy like Bangkok. I enjoyed that there was lots to do, see and eat. Thoroughly enjoyed variety of food including desserts. Took a Cooking Class which was fantastic. My only regret -not enough time spent there.

Thank you for joining our channel!! The best times to travel to Thailand and Vietnam are December, January, and February. The smoking season starts in late February-early March (farmers burn their crops) and by April and May it gets really humid. Have fun and safe travels!! Cheers!!🍻

This is a great video for a solo, couple traveler, senior that may embark on long-term traveling on a budget. Thank you so much for putting the 10 top favorite ones. Plus, people can reference your individual videos to look up all the links. I saw that Spain was not one of them so I am happy that I will not continue with trying to get a NLV long-term residency in Spain, but rather, travel first like you both do. Can’t wait for your 2024 videos and impressions of Mexico and South America. Cheers and blue skies ahead! PS Any links you can share with us on good house or pet sitting sites? You mentioned you’ve been housesitting? I would like to do that too. 🙏🍺😻

Krakow is amazing. Make sure you try the sausages from the guy in the blue bus. He has been selling them there for over 40 years. One of the best things I’ve eaten all year super simple just a sausage cooked over a fire and served on a roll with mustard. Cheap too!

Love you guys and all your interesting and informative, & sometimes funny travel videos. However, a good friend living in Thailand with his wife did feel you were a little optimistic with the costs for both Chiang Mai and Ko Samui. He said certainly there's rentals that cheap and inexpensive meals there, but they won't be even middle of the road, or in the greatest part of town. Even in Thailand, while very affordable, you still do pay for what you get. And unfortunately, we poor Canadians have a currency that's not so strong. :( Do appreciate all the time and effort you put into your youtube presentations...they're always so entertaining well done! Thanks again.

The prices that we quoted are accurate. Good accommodations in Fisherman Village in Ko Samui and Nimman Dist. in Chang Mai. Very nice areas to stay in. We were very satisfied with both locations at a great price.

@earlyretirement1459 5 ай бұрын

Thanks for the video. I would add that for some places at the beginning of the list, the lodging prices seem a little low. You have to factor in seasonality also. A place like Sarande, for example, is going to be much more expensive in high season. Speaking of which, do you plan specifically for July-August? It's high season across most of Europe, and hot. SEA is even hotter.

@BrianandCarrie 5 ай бұрын

Yes, for sure. Seasons always play a factor. But, these prices you can well out of off season. Fortunately there are still great deals to be had

I know these prices probably shock people in a good way but we were both stunned in a bad way about the stated price of beer in Vietnam and Thailand. When we traveled to Southeast Asia, 9 or so years ago and it was way cheaper, as in not even in the same ballpark. We always tell people the story of being in Hoi An. We found it touristy so we walked away from town a bit for relief and went into a restaurant advertising they were highly rated on TripAdvisor, so still frequented by tourists. We paid only 23 cents for a beer. We joked there would be no way we would find cheaper beer. We crossed the street to a bar and found 18 cent beer. There was never beer as high as $2.50 in any of the countries we visited in Southeast Asia. It made us gasp. 😮 I wonder what makes that difference. Surely beach front wouldn’t make it 10 times more. Has it changed that much in time? I guess we will find out when we go to Danang in December.

In saying that we are now convinced we should explore Antalya, Turkey. Can you tell me exactly what area you stayed in and if possible the name of the Airbnb? We are thinking of going there January/February 2025. Your thoughts on that time of year. Keep up the fantastic work!

We enjoyed the area close to the Dam Hotel. We describe the area that we stayed in in the Antalya video along with a link to the Airbnb. However, the laws have changed for Airbnb in Turkey. The one that we stayed in is now only available for a minimum of 90 days. You can still get "aparthotel" for short-term stays. Thank you for watching and safe travels!! Cheers!!🍻

I too would love to hear your “back story”… how you met… how you made the decision ( at such a young/great age!) to do this travel adventure. Your videos are very informative and entertaining. Had you done a lot of traveling before you decided to stop working and travel full time? I also love the fact that you visit home ( Washington) to see family and friends and “ re- group”… family time is important and planning ahead for it likely keeps you from getting homesick. The way you trade off talking in your videos works well and also enjoyed your “ answering questions” videos. Tons of great insight. Keep on traveling and having fun… great job!!!

Have you noticed if costs have increased in those top ten places you recommended? We to went to the Algarve in and around the time I think you guys were there. We just came back the other day but as we were planning thisb trip costs seemed to have increased soewhat. Just wondering if you have seen that as well?
