Amazing breakdown. Appreciate your trip and route details. Looks like such a great way to enjoy retirement. You've changed my mind on an RV retirement plan. This is a fantastic option for traveling the world at 1/3 of the cost of an RV!!! Thanks for sharing Brian and Carrie. Cheers!

We’re now in our 4th year of full-time travel. And are also slow travelers. We no longer own any real estate but our “home”, e.g. our storage shed and doctors are in Gig Harbor, WA. We find we need at least 6 weeks there annually to deal with medical issues, new glasses, etc. And we cruise rather than fly whenever possible. I enjoy your videos and comparing/contrasting with our experiences. We spend a fair amount more than you do (around $100K a year) but we also are likely to have fewer years on the planet than you two. Live Your Life. Live Your Life!

Your costs are spot on with mine. I'm a 63 year old solo traveler, who's travels have been close to identical with yours. In the last two years, I have spent 8 months in Medellin, Colombia, 8 months in Mexico, 5 months in Europe, starting in Amsterdam and ending in Istanbul, a month in Morocco, a month in Thailand, and I have now settled in Da Nang for six months. My favorite cities in that time are Istanbul, Prague, Chiang Mai, Mexico City, and Medellin. And I couldn't agree more about Penang. I was there in the coolest part of the year, and I though I would melt into the pavement. I've been traveling for eight years now. What a wonderful life! Thanks for the reaffirmation, and safe travels!

Interesting video, finance is my favorite hobby and I enjoyed that aspect. That said, I've done limited traveling abroad, never in Asia or Australia, but I find it exhausting! I'm "only" 63 and in great shape, but after 10 days, I'm ready to get home. I try to speak the native languages (French and Spanish only), but that feels like work after a while as well. Seems I'm alone in this perspective, but good for you for traveling so efficiently!

@BrianandCarrie 11 күн бұрын

You are definitely not alone on this! It does become work and can be exhausting. We move one month at a time and fly as little as possible. We have also learned that speaking a new language, even a little bit, isn't necessary. Polite yes, but most of the world now knows English as a second language. Thank you for watching and commenting!

I just stumbled on your channel, and I am so glad I did! I am an avid traveler (only 25 countries), and will be retiring in the next few years and plan on spending about half the year traveling solo until I can't any longer. I love the breakdown of costs, along with the context and your commentaries. Most of your locations I've either been to or on my list, so it's great watching your adventures! Regarding the luggage issue- it happens. You have to roll with it, and accept it as part of the "adventure". My best stories are not when everything went perfect, and in the end it is the experiences good and bad that you can look back and smile about. Keep up the good work!

Just watched the end of this video and the total cost blew me away, and I mean that in a good way! To my wife and I that seems very reasonable and then of course shopping around getting a little bit more Less expensive accommodations of course would bring that down but... And of course where you travelled. I am 66 and in good health I exercise a lot my wife is or rather will be 59 in August and we really really like the idea of slow travel. I am more of the cranky butt when I feel rushed and my wife does not like that so we can appreciate the slow travel for sure. Like I said earlier in another one of your videos I just subscribed to your channel and I'm looking forward to watching all your videos. We were going to start in January possibly I found a repositioning cruise from Seattle to Tokyo a 16 day cruise for both of us $1600 And then we were thinking of then flying to okinawa and staying there for possibly a month and then back to Vietnam and then after a stay there then either find another repositioning cruise back to Seattle if that's not available then we will fly back to Seattle. This will be our testing waters if you will... My wife is very nervous And we will see what happens.❤ Thanks!!

I just sold my hotel, owner for 38 years. it kept me busy, 24/7/365 , I went for months without without a single day off, years without a vacation, I was heavly leveraged. It was very difficult to make ends meet, unfortanlly, I was always well qualifed for bankrupcy but too stubborn to quit or give up, like a hoteler we all know named donald trump that went bankrupt many times and defaulted on paying many debts,, a man without integurity. For 38 years I enjoyed the guests from all over the world that paid to come and visit me, lol. I did not feel the need for travel since I had traveled extensivally as an aviator for 13 years before buying the hotel. So, I was lucky to be paid well and the airlines paid for most of the travel expenses. And on the wild side I was invlolved in most of the US conflicts and wars for 13 years. My travel mileage was equal to about 200 times around the world, more than most astronauts. Now I am 85 years old and findally retired. Now, I am bored and want to travel again,,, but realize that I will hafto pay, todays prices, wow! sticker shock.

Thanks for sharing. As always very informative specially since we are planning on a similar yearly budget perhaps even a little lower however we don’t like beers 😅. I know you mentioned there was going to be a logistic video coming up, looking forward to that one as we are interested to learn more about the Schengen zone and going in and out of it. I also believe it will be interesting to know more about airport experiences and going to and from to them etc. Thanks again!

We will be doing the logistics video sometime next month. A lot of planning is going into that one. 😃 Thanks you two for watching! No Beers Cheers!!😀

I enjoyed watching your videos. Thank you. When I retired ten years ago at age 58, I thought about doing some monthly rentals at various places along the US Gulf Coast. But life happens. In 2017 our daughter and her family moved to central PA from CO. We would do month long trips twice a year to be with them, and we ended up buying a second house there a couple of years ago - and our son bought a house there, too. We will be selling our CO home this Spring and moving to PA full time. We enjoy traveling the world on cruise ships - generally Princess, but as I’m knocking on 70 years old, full time international travel has passed us by. We’ve visited many of the places you traveled to in 2023 during the past several years - but I can honestly say I always enjoy getting back to our ship’s cabin, having a white tablecloth dinner, and seeing a fantastic show. It does come with a higher cost - but how else can you see the world if the wife is scared to fly?

Yes, cruising is a great way for many to see the world. It's cost effective and great for those with a fear of flying. Thanks so much for watching 😊. Cheers!!

Thank you for your reply Brian and you referred me to this video. Which I have already watched, I remember now. I actually enjoyed this video precisely because of the flight costs incurred included! Thank you. I am kindly suggesting that when flight costs breakdown being included in every video really makes the content truly helpful and complete. Does that make sense? So for every destination, it makes it more realistic and discernible what a particular dream destination in real dollars/money. This is an added value strength for the viewers, and I think worth considering to always add to every video. Many vloggers fail to do this. Make it an added strength to yours. More power to you guys. You are such an adorable couple. Thank you for sharing with us what you know.

@BrianandCarrie Ай бұрын

We only fly a couple of times a year so including flight costs on every video wouldn't make sense. People are also flying from different areas around the world so our costs may differ from someone else's.

@BrianandCarrie 4 ай бұрын

Thank you, so happy you find them helpful! I use an app called Travel Spend, just the free version now as it's gone up in price. So I travel every penny spent for the month, and then it transfers the final costs into a spreadsheet. Cheers!!

So delighted to revisit your journey this way and to hear your expenses laid out like this. We’ve seen other videos that make it seem we couldn’t travel for less than $60,000 annually on a strict budget (we’ve planned on $48,000 per year, but were hoping to spend less than that if possible). You’ve given us hope again-thank you so much!

@BrianandCarrie 4 ай бұрын

Spending a few months in SE Asia is a really good way to keep costs down. You can definitely do it for less than $48,000. Thank you for watching!! Cheers!!🍻

I really enjoy your content and appreciate your style of slower travel. My wife and I did a wonderful ten month trip around the world in 2016-2017 and visited many of the places you mentioned. We were in Chang Mai for a month and found it much busier than we expected, but I agree with you that Da Nang/Hoi An, Krakow and Turkey are incredible places to stay longer-term. I also recommend Romania, Laos and Sri Lanka as amazing and inexpensive destinations. Thanks for your interesting videos and I look forward to your new adventures in 2024! As an aside, if you think air travel in the US is expensive, try Canada 🙄

This was such an interesting & very eye opening video!!!! I had found your channel just last week, the first video I watched was the downsizing & decluttering which was also very interesting!! My hubby & I watched this budget video & we now see that it is actually cheaper than what we had thought. Don’t know that we will be exact full time travellers but definately can see that it will be totally possible to do some travelling to different areas when the time comes:) I think within two years we will hopefully sell our home & downsize. I really loved seeing the cost breakdown especially per day. We are Canadian but even with the exchange rate it is still totally doable!! I have a lot of videos still to watch but this one is fantastic!!!
