Very wierd, very wierd … sounds to me he does not like Brazil indeed. Rio is not good because it looks like Brazil and Santa Catarina is good because is packed with Germans.

A few remarks: Internet+cell depends heavily on your packages. We pay 100 euros for two cell numbers with unlimited 5g (where available) data and a 200/20 fiber, and this incorporated a "subsidy" as we call it (epidotisi) of around 400 euros to use for a new phone or other products from a series of partners of the provider. The electricity cost went up during the power crisis of 2022-2023, but there were corrective moves from the government. Now, when you hear about electricity price hikes in Greece it is mostly the media taking a particular day that the price surged in the energy auctions in order to create political stir, media in Greece love to create drama, the opposition riding along. It is pretty affordable, as long as you use it prudently (ie not having your AC blasting at below 20 oC 24/7). Healthcare is free, even if you don't work or pay social fees, and still the monthly fees are pretty low for lower incomes in comparison to what you get. I pay around 20 euros a month for my quite heavy diabetes medication, my mother just finished her completely free chemo+radiation therapies after her also completely free and very fast breast cancer surgery. Also, when you hear people complaining about wait times, they are most probably living in Athens, which is a hillbilly trap, people from around rural Greece go there expecting to live the big city life and all they have managed to do is suffocate the city and themselves, including medical services (no foreigner in their right mind should come to live in Athens, unless it is imperative for their job, Greece has many MUCH MORE enjoyable places to live). We do have a problem with doctors going abroad or private in order to get more money, the state tries to hire more doctors and they don't come, but this is also something that the government tries to fix with raising salaries and guarantying accommodations in some places (air bnb has made it nearly impossible for doctors, teachers and police officers to find an affordable place to live when they are sent to islands). In general, as I have written in some of Daniel's excellent videos, Greeks are champions in complaining and entitlement for two reasons: we have romanticized other countries and how things work there and we still are nostalgic of the pre crisis era when governments gave abundant handouts with borrowed money and banks gave away loans easily for houses, cars and vacations. Fun fact, the people that complain a lot insult those of us who don't as people who are "comforted" (volemenos) meaning we are somehow paid from the current government or something like that, while it is THEM that actually complain because they or their families lost this "comfort" (volema) they were accustomed to in previous decades.

Have a house in Alto Boquete and an island house on Loma Partida. We love Boquete. We did just visit Medellin Colombia... beautiful mountain towns.

Too hot for even the devil.

Brazil is the best place in the world to live and be happy.

Xela is a great place for ex pats, it's still not too crowded as Antigua, Atitlan, Guatemala City etc but it is a very comfy, modern city with anything and everything you may want or need from the states or similar to the states (feels and looks like South Oregon or Northern California) but much more affordable and accessible, not to say cheap but a lot more reasonable. You are still very close to the Guatemalan Caribbean, the Central America pacific coast, beautiful volcanos, forests, jungles, Mayan and Colonial Spanish cultural , colorful towns, diverse climates and a wide variety of fun outdoor and explortion activities amidst natural and historical Wonders (like Precolumbian sites, unesco colonial and natural world heritage sites etc near) plus Guatemala borders 4 other very interesting countries to explore: México, Belice, Honduras and El Salvador (Nicaragua is also not far) so you are sort of in the hub and middle of all the best tourist and attractions in ancient Mesoamerica with plenty of good modernity and convenient comforts to meet most of your needs at very reasonable prices. 🌲🌴🌳🌋🦈🥑🐆🐓🩵🤍🇬🇹

Gyros is NOT Kebab. Gyros is 100% pork meat. Kebab is 100% NOT pork meat.

Great interview- I just spent 6 weeks in Greece and it is a wonderful life out there. The people, food and nature is unbeatable.

UNFORTUNATELY for us earning in Reais, EVERYTHING is VERY VERY expensive, from supermarket stuff to electricity to gas and clothes and all the rest. Bless are you who earn in dollars!

Sooner or later patriotic government will be in power, foreign investos must take it under consideration...

Engels and Volkers approves this video

There are too many people who think that Greece is a place you can go and do whatever you want with your money and the help of the EE and US bankers. Thousands of Europeans are taking the properties of the Greeks, their land, their lives. The call you make for others barbar to go and live in Greece, you know is dangerous. When the occupying governments gone, all these properties will be taken back and the tourists will lose their money. Greece its not what you know last years or imagine. Ask your wife to tell you about EAM, Laocratia and stop calling westerns.

Also there is a Lidl supermarket in New Nafplio. Not sure why Daniel needs to go to multiple stores.

As a US citizen, i am currently in the process of getting my Greek Golden Visa, we purchased a property in Lefkakia in the countryside of Nafplio in time to be able to spend $250,000. We were lucky to get our deposit and contract done before the end of August because now the requirement is $400,000 minimum.

The US loves to punish you for being a citizen. The US, Eritrea, and in some cases, Hungary are the only countries in the world that tax you on income earned anywhere in the world. If you find a country that treats you well, they still take a bite out of you

Health care in Usa is crazy.

25:46 she is FOR SURE talking about Forajida. It is not easy to find and expensive but there are places with excellent quality food. Of course it would be less places because we are not a lot of people. I hope she found the good places by now 😂

About health care it is tricky because medicine truly is outdated in Uruguay. If you are just a normal healthy person it is great but if you have a major health issue we can even lack the medical knowledge or when we do have the knowledge we do not have the technology or the resources for treatment

Adventure freakness, my hat's off to you. I'm currently in Vietnam, it's my 45 country to visit, park, reside and live in for a few months, in other words, really boot's on the ground. You on the other hand live in your mammy's basement, and interview lots of traveling guy's, you then split screen, talk crap for 20 minutes, and bingo.. ya make a nice chunk of change, laughing you way to KZfaq Bank 👍 U the mon 🎉 Easy, peasy KZfaq revenue 👍 Don't have to lift a finger, just cupla key stroke's entries, and bob's ur uncle, direct deposit to your KZfaq piggy bank 👍🙏😂

Free medical but after you make contributions to the health care system. You should have asked him how much that costs?

Wish that guy would tune that damn guitar.....

WE ALL, LIVE OUR ODYSSEY TRIP.....FIGHTING OUR DEMONS, WITH PURPOSE TO FIND PEACE RETURN IN OUR BASE (TO RETURN TO ITHACA).!!! ..... HERE WE HAVE A MOTO.... "Όπου γής, Πατρις" (Opou gis, Patris) = The land you live, is your country.!!!

😀 In a kind of culture,......all peoples birth place, is GREECE 🤣👍

Daniel did you live in Toronto in the 80's?

Unfortunately it's been kidnapped by the EU !!!

I'm from Colombia living in Australia and thinking about being retired in my hometown Barranquilla, I hope to be able to come back at some point :)

Young people can't find jobs in Greece. The tourist industry isn't going to save Greece. The young people are fleeing Greece. Greece is now in the nexus of the war between NATO and Russia. Plus facing hostilities with Turkey.

You need to know Spanish, very few people speak English.

half the doctors left Greece when their salaries were cut by 50% when austerity measures were instituted a few years ago. Unless you are dying or having an emergency, be prepared to wait. Canada style. Or you can go for concierge practices which charge extra. Actually Turkey has cheaper and better health services and a well developed medical tourist industry. Also, dont forget, bureaucracy in Greece is an art form. Unless you are fluent, you will learn the meaning of Byzantine regulations through exasperation and perspiration.

I really enjoyed this Video. Phil is my favorite KZfaqr on everything Brazil. 🇧🇷 I loved seeing him do this interview because he seems so happy. Nice. I’m going back to São Paulo in two weeks. And considering living there in a few years. I enjoy both you guys channels.

The residency requirements are great, and there is no minimum cost requirement for the house or apartment you buy to qulify. You csn own 100% of any business you buy or create theree too. Owning a house or apartment qualifies you for residency. After five years your residency is perminant. Google 'Residency in Albania for Americans', there is a ton of info online.

I think that the mutualista's will not accept a new member who are 70 years old or older. You must join before 70th birthday.

I’m so glad you mentioned we are relocating there

Timm Maloney... My friend was quoted $2,200 for root canal and crown in US...he flew to Greece, his home country, and met with his dentist who performed same procedure for $350 😮

Americans who come to Brazil for the “free healthcare” should be ashamed of themselves. You are contributing to overcrowding and taking resources from citizens who don’t have access to the strongest economy in the world. A large number of Brazilians live on R$1400 / mo. As an American expat living in Brazil and have accompanied Brazilian family members into SUS (hospitals and Pronto Socorros) during the height of the Dangue season last year, I’ve witnessed the challenges faced by those who are providing and seeking care. I emplore Americans considering moving to Brazil to look for options in the Private system. I am paying less than $400 usd per month for me and my wife, and we are 60. SUS is an incredible system. It is heroic for Brazil, as a society, to provide these services to its citizens. The doctors and nurses I encountered doing an incredible job. Help them provide care in their country for those who need it most. The private system is there for us, as expats, as guests. Be respectful.

Since 2001 to now 2024, Panama has changed a lot ! The cost of living is more expensive now !

Another great Video. Thank u Re and Ramona. Is the retirement pension taxed that comes to your account in a local Bank ?

Toni is so lovely. Thank you!❤ Great content.

Floripa is expensive for Brazilian standards. People that want to live well work hard. Traffic is awful. And it rains a lot. Culture is not the best. We need to travel to São Paulo and Rio to get some. Nevertheless, it’s one the best places to live that I have been. Unfortunately, it has been filled with people looking for a dream, and finding a nightmare. Salaries are low. Opening a business? Competition is fierce. We only have one month for making money with summer rental: January. All the prices he gave are right. Except for the meals. Unless if you go to really cheapo restaurants. I spend at least US$10,00 in a nice per kilo. Coffee? 2 dollars. Hospitals are not that great. If you don’t have private health insurance you are not getting the exams fast you need unless you are dying. Public health is complicated. But is great. The best doctors work on the public system. And the best dentists. However, the materials they use, and the waiting list… you need health insurance. I love Floripa. My family is from here, and I live well. But as a city, there are better places in the state, and in the country: Blumenau and João Pessoa are my favorites. But if you want live well here, you need in reais, our money: 3500 for rent and condo fees, 2000 reais for groceries. That’s a 1000 US dollars. Everything else you need in life is after that. So you need at least 2000 for a decent middle class life. You can live for less? Of course. But 900 dollars is tough. Don’t bother.

Brazil is so big that if you travel through several regions that are far from each other, you may have the feeling that you have traveled to another country. The northern and west of the country has more influence from indigenous peoples, in the northeast region there is more influence from African descendants and in the states of the southern region (Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul) it has more influence from European descendants, in addition, the northern half is less developed and all this reflects in the behavior of Brazilians in each region. There is a lot of cultural difference between the regions of Brazil due to many different peoples and cultures interacting and influencing each other. In the north and northeast of Brazil there is practically no winter, it's hot all year round (at the height of summer it's VERY hot). There are not 4 seasons, but rather 2 seasons: one with a lot of rain and one with little rain. In the southern half of Brazil there are 4 seasons, and in the extreme south it can be VERY cold in winter (some regions high up in the mountains can even snow a little). In the states of the southern region (Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and Paraná), extratropical cyclones occasionally occur on the coast and tornadoes in the extreme west. At the moment the safest state in Brazil is São Paulo, followed by Santa Catarina and Minas Gerais.

O sistema público de saúde do Brasil (SUS), que é gratuito, atende turistas estrangeiros para casos ambulatoriais (rápido atendimento) ou emergenciais para garantir a sua vida (gratuito para os estrangeiros também). Para atendimentos de casos mais prolongados ou cirurgias não emergenciais o estrangeiro tem que ser residente no Brasil e fazer o CPF (Cadastro de Pessoa Física) e talvez o RNE (Registro Nacional de Estrangeiro).

My Spanish student moved to Peru, he is form USA. He retired and all the papper work was done properly, but it took a little bit too much, six months to 1 year if I recall well. The goberment charges a % of taxes, then he gets the rest, I think is not so much %. He used to work as a store worker in USA, after paying taxes, he still has like $ 2000 and he can live quite well here. About the "Ayahuasca" please people, don't do it, unless you are almost like BUDA... other way you will only free your inside demons. The substance it has is really strong and there have been issues... really serious issues that involve not being alive, it is an ancestral ritual, pls respect it as it is, don't try to get it from anyone, because it shouldn't be sold, few days ago a guy under the influences of that substance finished the life of a russian girl, his loved one.

Amazingly , the average cost to deliver a baby today in the US , 'without Insurance' is $30,000 . This was another excellent interview Senor , thanks again .

Hello there. Thank u for the nice Video. Im interested to retire in Uruguay. A question. Why do i need to invest in real estate to get a retirement Visa ? Thank u .

Parnaíba and Barra Grande in Piauí State is the best!!

If you compare 99% of the countries OF COURSE they are cheaper . But living in this countries you realize is not cheap at all . Brazil was never a cheap country and never paradise !!! I am here 21 years , trust me i know . Even i am in top 3 % of earners in Brazil according to “ classes social statistics “ i dont feel rich .

Invaded by Russians!

Her numbers are off. Even without using aircon, electric in Cambodia is ridiculously expensive. You can live good here for $1,500 plus a month.

Prices have gone up quite higher, by now 08/2024. But still very affordable
