We are a couple who had the dream of slowly travelling the world and escaping the cold European winters, without going completely broke. Now, we are finally living that dream. Our lives are just one big experiment at the moment and we don't know where we'll end up... But we hope that by sharing our experiences through our videos we can inspire others to chase dreams and do the unexpected.

Thrift Shopping in Thailand: Is Bangkok a Secret Vintage Heaven?
Bangkok, Thailand, has many different sides, but did you know it also has an amazing thrift shopping and vintage scene? We actually think it's one of the best things to do in Bangkok! In this episode we visit Mega Plaza in Chinatown and the Red Building at Bangsue Junction (next to Chatuchak Night Market) to hunt for Ali's adored vintage camera lens, clothing, accessories and more. And we get super lucky...
If you're curious about the look of the vintage lens, check out our video where we covered celebrating Loy Krathong, Thailand's floating lights festival. The footage simply looks so beautiful... ua-cam.com/video/cpFneP0KC-o/v-deo.html

Our Surprising Living Costs as Digital Nomads in Thailand (Koh Phangan), Vietnam & Japan
Переглядів 89621 день тому
Many people have asked us whether our lifestyle, living in Thailand, Vietnam and Japan in the last 6 months, is expensive. It's something we've been thinking about ourselves. You can always look online, but people have very different ways of spending money. If you're living somewhere long-term, the costs are also very different. So we have tracked all of our costs for our time in Thailand (3.5 ...

I like the shots with the vintage lens.❤ the colors look more soft.
Yes, it’s not as sharp and detailed as newer lenses. (So you also look younger 😜)
@marola_ali thats really nice, please bring the lens to our familyweekend next year...than I also look younger🤷♀️
Hahaha sure, we will do a vintage fotoshoot 😁
@@marola_ali joepie🤩
best ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Let us know what you thought of the video and the footage of the vintage lens! We are super curious. 😁
Hello ali 🙋🏽♂️
Hello 👋🏽 thanks for watching!
Beautiful video guys! That looked like a lot of fun
Thank you! It was really cool to experience!
So after many times you been here you still call it koh pagnam
What a beautiful and Almost magical ritual❤
Yeah.. it was very beautiful! But what I liked the most was hitting the loud bells. 🔔
@marola_ali you've got the music in you💝
Beautiful! And those sticky rice bamboos look interesting 😅
@@alissavaes7655 should I bring some to the Netherlands?
And... are you impressed by the magic of Loy Krathong? Thank you for watching and subscribe to us for more! ❣
Do you have any Thai spot recommendations 🥹
So most of our recommendations will be in the Westside, since that’s where we are most of the time: Yings is really nice, affordable Thai food, Taste from heaven is one of our favorite restaurants in all of Thailand At the Sun Moon Star resort you can get good authentic Thai food with a great view. The owner is also super nice and owns an amazing bakery! Ibiza bungalows is a place where we stayed for a while. They had good Thai food right at the beach. Also, check out mammas market Srithanu and especially the thong sale night market (Saturday’s) and chaloklum night market (sundays) we have some videos where we went there too. You can find amazing papaya salads and other goodies there! If you’re in thong Sala check out the food court. A small selection of our favorites :D let us know if you go to any of them!
Hi all lovely friends, new subscriber how are you happy Sunday night and i hope you having amazing travels and i enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter
Thank you so much, we are good. We’re happy the video was useful! Have a great week. 😊
I've seen that same school of fish! A friend and I swam around Koh Ma! I love Haad Yao!
Oh that’s so cool! The school of fish is so impressive.. But I don’t know if I would dare to swim all around Koh Ma 😱
What camera do you use?
So we used the a6300 until February. Most of the trip footage was shot on that. Ali bought an a6700 which we used for the shot on the sofa. Some scenes were also shot on iPhone. More in our next videos! Do you shoot videos too?
Great video! Im planning on going to thailand in a few months but now im considering Vietnam too!!!
Oh that’s really great! We love Thailand but Vietnam was also great! How long would you stay and where do you want to go? Lots of people visit both places on the same trip
What a beautiful and clear inside of your travelling! I think it helps al lot of people to really take a step forward and follow their dreams❤
@@marjostals9919 thank you, that’s very sweet! 😁
So.... what did you think of our monthly costs? 🙊 Not too bad? Or shockingly expensive?

all the best guys, Thanks for the insight and inspiration. we havent done slow travel yet but its in the plans.
You’re welcome and we’re happy the video was useful. Are you also planning to go to Asia?
@@marola_ali yes . That’s the plan. Our story is similar to yours but we are still a year away or so before we do our travels so we relate to your videos a lot.
I heard about Kho Tao being a place to avoid as there was a history of murders and many UA-cam videos about it too. Did you guys feel any thing to be concerned about.
Very exciting and wishing you good luck to get to that point! Asia, especially Thailand, is also such a good place to start we think.
Subscribe from Thailand 🇹🇭

You’re welcome! Thank you for watching. You’re comment means a lot! 🌷
That view looks amazing!! And loved seeing the story behind your wanderlust - we hope you can start your long-awaited journey again soon. Hugs & kisses A&A <3
Thank you, so sweet! ♥️ we hope so too, but first there are some important other stops to be made in the Netherlands 😁🌷
A real Lovestory ❤️
This one came from the ❤. Thank you for watching and we would love to hear what you think of the story. 🌄
What are the options for jobs if you wanna live on the island? Like how do you make enough money to live there comfortably?
With the destination Thailand visum you can work remotely from Thailand! Or you can save money ahead and visit on a Tourist visum. Living on the island may be more expensive than other places in Thailand, because it’s so popular. We estimate about 1000-1500 euros per person per month depending on where you choose to live and eat. But if you’re really frugal and find cheaper accommodation (for example, further away from the beaches) and eat at local Thai places then you could stay under 1000 a month I would say. It’s all up to you! (For long term accommodation make sure to book something far in advance, because every month the whole island books out because of the full moon party.)
You work online
I want to try that banger burger!!! 🍔
Actually all the food in this video looks delicious
Yes, it was all really amazing. Japan knows how to make good food! Even for vegans. I really miss Ramen. 😱
Great video, loved the authentic feel to it too! Come back to Asia 😫😫
Thank you! We can't wait to come back, trust me! 😊
I loved all your videos😍 And I am wondering how Willie is doing in Germany?
Thank you so much! Willie is living his best life in Germany and we cuddle every night. 😄
@@marola_ali haha lucky Willie and lucky you💚
Yes, he is also very happy to not be in a cage anymore, getting grabbed by claws and falling out of them. Free Willie. 😁
@@marola_ali haha....I love Free Willie🐳
So, do you think we were almost scammed or pickpocketed by that magician? 😱 If you want to see more of Tokyo, check out our previous video. ua-cam.com/video/HWiG97WmYDQ/v-deo.html
great couple and nice vibe
And you still cannot pronounce the name of the island. It's not Koh Phan Young, but Koh Phan GAN. Pronounced like GUN!!!
Sorry ka! We will do our best. Koh Phan 🔫
What a magic in Tokyo.....and a beautiful short Ali😂❤
Yes chef :D
@@marola_ali Chef?🤓

Sooo, who wants to go to Tokyo now?! Thanks for watching 🧡 and if you're interested in life in Japan, we recommend our series about living on Okinawa island: ua-cam.com/video/Z8SokQpsMMg/v-deo.htmlsi=y7oUzsd5NklWunZg
Love your scuba
This video is really good + well made. Great vibe too!
Thank you for your kind words. We're happy you liked it
Choosing anywhere in the world to live; I don’t have a mortgage here in California ( live in mobile) but own the property) and husband died over a month ago. So… Ecuador ( Cuenca) really easy visas but with retiring just proof u have 800 DLLs a month, plus real easy to WORK!! Plus 24,785 sucre per 1 USA DLL. 2: Thailand with retirement visa.,,,; 3.- Philippines/ vietnam 4.- Cambodia.
Sorry for your loss. I think all those places could be great. We loved Thailand and Vietnam for what it's worth. Thailand also has a new Visum (Destination Thailand Visum) for remote workers
I thought Vietnam now gives 3 months. Today it’s August 12, 2024
I think there are different Visa options. We might've taken a shorter one back then!
been there last year! very beautiful island :)
Yes, we agree! 😁 and we were only able to see and document a small part, there is so much more.
All these videos are making us want to go to Japan!! Great video guys ❤
@@Lottieandtom.travel Thanks guys! Thats good to hear, then they are doing their job. 😁 We can really recommend going and especially also to what’s coming next: crazy, wonderful, fascinating Tokyo 🎆

Thank you for watching! 😊 I know, it’s never enough with Koh Phangan! That was the little private beach of Bounty Resort, located in the Haad Yao area.
Great video You can get " e-visa" for 3 months in Vietnam renewable ,when 3 months is nearly over you go to Cambodia for example and apply for new 3 month e visa
