    Over the last few years I tend to go to Fuerteventura in the canaries in January - I can usually rent an AirBnb with a few beds in case any family want to come over. I have a houseful of students who are 'on between' jobs so I'm not free to up sticks completely yet. I'm fortunate in having dual British & Irish nationality and passports, but what really puts me off is the fear of it being too hot in the summer! Much as I hate the English winter I wouldn't want to be uncomfortably hot for months either! when I was young free and single I want on a trip to Thailand, Malaysia & Singapore on a guided trip and we visited Koh sumi & Phuket - I went in August which was fine - usually nice short sharp warm rain showers in the morning and fine until the next day..My research on Thailand is telling me that property prices are relatively overheated there compared to neighbouring Vietnam / Cambodia etc - they might be worth looking at. Thanks for the video and the sensible info - good luck with whatever you choose to do - Slainte!

    What about taxes? If you have an Irish passport do they tax you on pensions? Also doesn't an American with an Irish passport have to have private health insurance? If you buy that from the U.S. it is extremely pricey for those of retirement age.

    • @TheRamblingIrishman
      @TheRamblingIrishman Місяць тому

      Hi, taxes are different for everyone depending on your situation. A proper tab accountant keeps me right. As fot the Irish passport, I can't see what difference being American would make. If you have an Irish passport then your a legitimate European citizen. Being American shouldn't come into it.

I'm coming from Rojales and I try to avoid N332 as much as possible. I drive past the front of Torrevieja hospital and then end up on N332 from there on. I know how to get to le zenia boulevard, cutting through Los altos, which is quicker ... I am sure you must be able to get to cabo roig roundabout, avoiding the N332. We have tried a few times going home, but got lost 😅 ended up in Villa Martin and San Miguel which I recognised on this video 😅. Any ideas? We will keep on trying as we love that small cove.

      Yeah I'll be covering everything as it happens. I have sex months to apply for residency which I will be sorting our around November. Also, my car insurance only covers me for six months in Europe so I'll be getting it re-registered at that time too. 😊

      @@TheRamblingIrishman Steve can you please have a wee look at this again, I am very sure after the 90 day (3 month) you must get your residency certificate or return to your home country. I’m only saying this because you mentioned 6months and you would look into it come November but you can be sent back for not applying either before or day after the 90 days. Just a wee hands up, I had another look and twice read the same thing three months from the day you arrived in the country (Spain) you can update me :) been down your way many’s the time beautiful area good luck and the bike is fantastic:)

      I would certainly do that!! as mishho9831 is correct...you must leave the country after 90 days if you are not an EU citizen, and can only return again 90 days later....I think they could deport you otherwise, it doesn't matter if you own property or not.

    Steve, I've been watching your channel for a while now and I've decided to do what you're doing , am 50 now and me n the wife are separating but I've one question is it lonely and if so what are you to get over it 😂 .

      Hi, it's great that my videos help! The question of loneliness is a difficult. We are all different. I've never beenarried, I've no kids and always enjoyed being a single person and never had a problem when not dating. I would say that the one thing that is very important is that you get involved in activities and hobbies. I keep myself fairly busy and it keeps any loneliness at bay. I hope this is of some help. 👍

    Great video. I think that if you can map and film good cycling routes those videos would be popular

    Great video , loved the drone shots , we fly over this week to our place in La Florida, we love Villamartin. We have just bought some bikes how safe is it to leave them when you go to the beach , or to the supermarket or shops we have bought a lock same as yours so hopefully they will be safe once they are locked up. 👍👍

    • @TheRamblingIrishman
      @TheRamblingIrishman 2 місяці тому

      Thank you 😊. Yes, if you have a good quality lock, secure the lock around a fixed part of the bike to something secure and in a place where there are plenty of people! I'm now very careful 👍

      I cycle all over Spain & most of the time don't worry, but in big cities & on the coast l lock up my bike, then l lock the front wheel to the frame then l take my seat with me. You might laugh but if l was in Barcelona or Malaga right now it'd take me less than 5 mins to find a locked up seatless bike. 😁
