Things Have Been Rough, But We Have a Plan (Life Update)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 чер 2024
- Our first ever life update video covers way more than we wish we were sharing for this kind of video. We thought making this video would be simple - filled with exciting news, fun moments, and easy to share stories. This video does get there eventually, but first we've got to explain what's been going on for us.
This video was actually filmed 3 months after the last video. We intentionally filmed extra videos before coming home to make sure we had videos to share with you during our visit to Canada. It's a good thing we went over board and filmed so many videos before coming home, because we were in Canada for WAY longer than we expected!
When we first arrived in Canada, we thought we'd be here for a bit over a month, and then we thought we'd be making a semi-permanent move to Thailand! This plan excited us because Thailand is a great place to continue traveling from, and we thought Mico had a job there that would bring us steady money while we traveled from a home-base. You see, it might look like we are traveling on secret trust funds, but we aren't, and we're running out of money! We are working really hard on making enough money on UA-cam to keep this travel life up, but it is a biiiiiig risk. And the job in Thailand would have brought us stability while we filmed new travel videos on weekends and holidays to keep up the channel. In this video, we explain how that plan panned out.
The job in Thailand isn't why we were in Canada for so long though... that honour belongs to my (Nicole) health. We had a scary month and gained a lot of perspective on living life to the fullest at all times. It really made us relook at our life and take some big risks, even though it's scary! We are eager to give life 100% though, and I think we'll be doing that with this new adventure.
I promise, we are going to give you the WHOLE plan in this video! We share our upcoming travel plans, what is happening with our dog, why we were in Canada for so much longer than we thought, and so much more. It's a lot to catch you up on, so grab a coffee or glass of wine and come along with us for the rollercoaster.
If you enjoy our videos and want to give us an extra special thank you, we would love to have you become a channel member! Check out the perks here ua-cam.com/users/nicoleandmico...

======================
Hey there! We are Nicole and Mico and in March 2021, we quit our jobs, sold our belongings, and began traveling the world! We never thought we'd be making travel vlogs on UA-cam, but after realizing that we had a unique opportunity to share our adventure and make the world feel more familiar and inviting to anyone watching, we took the leap and picked up the camera! We hope our videos show how wonderful, delicious, and friendly the world can be.
So thankful for a clean bill of health!! Excited to watch you continue to adventure, it's gonna be so worth it. Best digital nomads ever!
Thank you! And thanks so much for joining the members community. We love seeing new faces on here 😁😁
Oh such relief, thank goodness. So happy for you guys from Mongolian subscriber🙌🏼🥰🥰
Thank you so much! We hope you are enjoying the beginning of summer in Mongolia!
I’m so glad that two of the world’s best travel UA-camrs are continuing. Te deseo un gran viaje por delante!
Woohoo!! Thank you :) we look forward to sharing more adventures with you and the fam!
How terrifying for you, Nicole. Reading the result was benign. It's hard to imagine the relief.
The relief was incredible! I cried an awful lot when we got the good news, and then felt very driven to make the most of the year I would have been receiving treatment had we received different news 😊
I went through the exact same thing at 30. Now at almost 70 still going strong. Though i do have to take meds every day for it but better than the alternative. Wishing you the best.
Thank you for sharing your story! I was so grateful that thyroid cancer is so treatable, and it sounds like that has been your experience as well. There is a high likelihood that I will have the nodule and right thyroid gland removed in the coming years despite it being benign, so I love hearing that 40 years later, you are still going strong 😃
I decided to become a minimalist a couple of years ago just because I’d rather spend my money on traveling and not have to worry about having big things in my house that are worth too much or things I dont need, and things I’d worry about having in my house that are worth money and I’d have to be there to take care of them, or be around them cause there worth alot, or something! It also feels good to not have to worry about having too much stuff because then I feel like I’d always have to “keep up with the Jones’!” Instead, I’ll have more incentive, money, and freedom from material things for traveling and experiencing the world and its different cultures and foods! Good luck to the both of you and may you have excellent health from now on! 🚘🗿🌶️🐶
Love your passion for minimalism and outlook on life. We're rooting for you too! Thanks for being on the journey with us :)
Glad to hear youre all clear Nicole! And all the best to all three of you on the journey ahead! Bon Voyage!
Thank you so much! Can't wait to share the adventure :)
Wow, what a relief!! So glad to hear you're ok, that is so scary. Late last summer I went through something similar and also had a biopsy done... that wait for the results is tormentous and so many things race through the head. Luckily it also ended up being something that will need to be watched over time, but is treatable/manageable.
Happy, safe travels. Hope you have a blast on the road ahead and looooove that you are bringing your pup along to experience them with you!!!
O wow so sorry to hear you had to go through that. We are so glad though that it sounds like you had a good result and hopefully nothing changes over time. We will be keeping all our fingers crossed for you too 😊 Thanks so much for the comment and we can't wait to share some of Evie's adventures soon!
Glad everything was ok. Thanks for what you!
Thank you! And thanks for coming on this journey with us 😁
What a scary time, but the best outcome! Im so glad you can take Evie. We just did a 6 week trip without our dog and I missed him terribly so i can imagine how glad you are to be back with Evie.
It was a reunion that we were really looking forward to and we're so glad we have her here now :) it's a little different travelling with a dog but we're getting into the groove just like when we had her pre-full time travel.
Good luck for your new and incredible chapter. The most important thing is that you're healthy. Wish you all the best and stay healthy. 🥰
Thank you so much! We are feeling so grateful for our health and are excited to share the next steps of this journey with everyone!
All the best with the new plan! :)
Thanks you guys!
Glad everything is ok look forward to your next adventure
Thank you!!
Happy you’re healthy, Nicole! Looking forward to the new adventures you, Mico, and Evie will enjoy.
Thank you so much! We are so relieved and so eager to get back to living 😊
Be safe on your new adventure. So glad things with you health went well.
Thank you 😊 health means everything and we’re so happy it’s still on our side 💛
Have a great trip! It'll be a blast.
Thank you!!
So excited for yall. Can’t wait to see your adventures continue!
Thank you!!
So happy for your good news!!! And looking forward to watching your road trip through Mexico and Central America! My husband and I are full-time travelers too and it's always so interesting to see how other people do it.
It's awesome to find other full-time travelers on here! We're SO grateful to be able to continue this lifestyle after our health scare and a lot of unknowns recently. We love this life so much :)
Wow! What a journey! Thank you for sharing .. the world really is your oyster! Wishing you both much health and happiness, enjoy your next adventure☺️ Cheers from Yellowknife NWT
Thank you so much! So amazing to have someone from the NWT here! We love seeing how our videos travel the world 😁
Good luck on your next adventure! I'm glad your tumor is benign! I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer 10 years ago - back then doctors in Canada didn't take it seriously, it was the "good" cancer because most likely you survive it.
Oh gosh, I'm sorry to hear you weren't taken very seriously. I had similar sentiments given to me, and while I am so grateful it is a curable cancer, having cancer of any kind is scary! I'm so glad that 10 years later you are here to share your experience!
Really happy for you guys and esp you Nicole. All the very best 🥂
Thank you so much!
OMG I was so nervous half way through the video! It was a huge relief to know that Nicole is healthy and there’s nothing to worry about 😊 good luck in your road trip guys! Hope you are enjoying it. And of course, Evie is freaking adorable 🐶
Awe thank you so much for your kind comment! We are so lucky and grateful to have a clean bill of health again. It was definitely scary at first. So glad you enjoyed Evie's first time on the vlog! She is so adorable to us and we will try our best to bring that out. She can be a little too scruffy at time but we'll just have to get good at grooming her on the go lol
So happy for your health news. So sweet reunited with your pup and I am sure he will so enjoy hit adventures. Have fun!
Thank you! So far Evie is loving being an adventure dog!
We are so glad to hear that you got the best results back.
We are looking forward to watching you travel with your beautiful doggy. xx
Thank you so much. We can’t wait to share of this adventure with you ☺️
I’m glad to hear that you are okay Nicole. Love your videos. Good luck with the next adventure!
Thank you so much!
Great news! Happy to hear Nicole is healthy! It’s nice to hear that you can continue to travel and share your love of adventure with us. One thing that rings my alarm is your road trip goes through Mexico. The risks and potential dangers are above my comfort level. I do hope you be careful and stay safe in your travels.
Thank you so much @veetour! We promise to be as safe as possible on this next adventure. If it ever starts to feel wrong, we will change course to stay out of harms way as best we can 😊
We love your channel. Thankful to God you didn’t have cancer. God bless your travels!
Thank you Donna! We are so grateful for the opportunity to continue traveling 😁
Glad that you are well. I've had similarish experience this year. I had spinal injury and for about 10 months my ability to walk was getting less and less. The biggest sadness that I had was all the travel and experience, particularly in nature that I would miss out on. Then all of a sudden the nerves started healing. So this summer, I plan on leaving my job to drive the Pan American. I'll be following a similar route as you for the first year, but plan to keep going as I really want to see Patagonia. All the best on your adventure.
Wow that’s a wild story! We can only imagine what was going on in your mind. So glad that things took a turn for the better and so cool to hear about your upcoming adventure. Go get em and enjoy as much of life as you can! We are rooting for you 🥳😊
Oh my goodness!!! I am so excited for you guys, what an amazing adventure!! I was crying happy tears of relief for you from your biopsy, I have been through something similar & could totally relate. You must have felt like you won the lottery of life & health❤️ I can’t wait to follow along on your adventures!! ❤️
Thank you so much for the well wishes! It's so helpful to speak to someone who has been through something similar, even though I wouldn't wish that journey on anyone. I truly do feel like I have a new lease on life even though truly, nothing happened to my body in the end. Being reminded that my health is the most important thing in life really helped kick my butt in gear to keep on living to the fullest, even though we feel we're taking quite a risk by continuing to travel and working hard to sustain ourselves through UA-cam! Whatever happens, it'll be worth it 😊
@@nicoleandmicoabsolutely 100%!
Best wishes from South Africa. Strength to You both.
Thank you!
Glad to hear you're ok fellow Calgarians! We just finished up a week in Seoul and now heading to Tokyo. Thank you so much for making your videos as they helped us a lot in Seoul.
Awesome! So glad to hear you are finding our videos helpful. Have an amazing time in Tokyo!
So happy to hear you’re well Nicole. Sending you both positive vibes and light on this new journey. Cannot wait to see what’s next 💕
Thank you for being here and supporting us 😊 can’t wait to share the journey with you
So glad for the good news. Enjoy your next adventure. All the best. 😁
We’re so excited! Thank you! 😊
Wow, what a rollercoaster. Watched some of this with gritted teeth given the medical issue Nicole described, but delighted you came through it with a clean bill of health! Sorry to hear the Thai plans did not come to fruition, but can't wait to see you travel with Evie via North to South America. Bon voyage!
Thank you so much! We have been gritting our teeth a lot lately as well, but are so grateful to have the opportunity to go on another adventure!
Thank goodness you're all good, Nicole! Glad you're getting to this chapter and adventure!
Moving out of the storage unit is a huge step, so proud of you both ❤️
Awe thank you guys! It’s a big leap it feels like because that was always our safety net. But we love this life and want to continue seeing where it takes us. Thanks for your support and we hope we can meet up again one day 😊
So relieved to hear that you’re finally ok. ❤️ from 🇱🇰
Thank you! We are so relieved 😊
❤all the best to both of you ❤
As you know we are so thankful all things worked out for you Nicole health wise! We are excited for you guys and your adventures and we've been looking forward to your new adventures!
Thanks @JennandLeon! We are so grateful to still have our health and the opportunity to keep doing this life we love :)
@@nicoleandmico We can relate indeed. 3 years and counting club!
So happy for your health Nicole. I had a similar scare although about my mom and the waiting was torture after I’ve already lost my dad to cancer. The relief being told it’s benign is indescribable. Wishing you both happy and healthy travels❤
Thank you so much! I'm so sorry to hear you lost your Dad to cancer. That must have made the waiting for your moms news so much more difficult 💛
Wow guys! Firstly we're so happy that your healthy 🫶 Amazing story! Secondly this video was so well made! amazing story-telling and can't wait to keep up with your new adventure!
Awe thanks you guys! We're glad to have a good result as well and it really sparked a fire in us to enjoy life to the full! Happy travels :)
What a great couple. All the best to you guys, your health is everything. Love the vids, keep going. Hugs
Thanks for your support! Looking forward to sharing more of this adventure with you 😁
So relieved to hear you’re ok! I remember first finding your channel when I was looking for videos on Colombia for my upcoming backpacking trip and I spent the whole day watching your videos. One of the reasons I loved you both so much was just how much joy you seemed to exude all the time and I’m so glad the Universe gave you a bit of that positivity back❤️
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! It's so cool you have been with us since Colombia - that is a long time ago now! The universe is definitely giving us positivity and we're taking advantage of it by heading off on another adventure and figuring things out as we go 😊
What a rollercoaster you guys have been on! So glad it’s all ended well. That final purge of the safety net is a hard one but worth it for the freedom.
We totally agree, it was a scary transition but it also feels so good!
What a rollercoaster of emotions this video was! 🤯We relate so much to the values you mentioned! Travel, Flexibility, and our Dog too! We are still on the first leg of our travel and slowing making our way to South America too!
What so cool! Enjoy the ride! 😊
Thank God you were in the clear Nicole. We can only imagine how terrifying that must have been for you guys. We're praying that you stay in the clear and have the most epic time in Central america with little Evie, can't wait to see the adventures ❤
Thank you so much guys! The relief was wild and really put a skip back in our step after feeling so foggy while we were going through everything. Being on the other side of it is amazing, and we are doing everything we can to make the most of the good news!
So happy you’re all clear!! Funny how those risk factors work - I was low risk and it turned out to be cancerous with a tumour the size of a softball hiding behind my collarbone haha. But even at that, I had one mildly uncomfortable night after surgery and that was the only thing I ever felt…and a quick radioactive iodine treatment a couple of months later with zero side effects is killing off any remaining cancer/thyroid cells. Have fun in Mexico, we’ll get together next visit!
We are so glad you are doing well and are on the other side of your thyroid surgery Jeremy! It's kind of terrifying to know something so huge was hiding out in your body without giving you any weird symptoms. It's so good they went forward with removal, I can't believe it turned out to be cancerous. So glad it's gone and you are on the other side of it all
It's great to hear that you are cancer free, Nicole! I look forward to your new adventures. Continued Blessings 🙏❤️
Thank you so much
Looking forward for your next travel im glad you are ok Nicole. I had the same thyroid problem in 2017 i had thyroidectomy but now cancer free.
Thank you for sharing your story - it is so wonderful to hear you are cancer free! It is amazing how treatable thyroid cancer is, and I have loved hearing from people who have had it removed and have moved forward with their health. It bring me great comfort
Yes it's treatable. I will be on levothyroxine medication for life since my thyroid was removed. God bless both of you.
I'm so glad to hear that you received good news, and that you are healthy! I'm going through something similar, where the specialist said that I may need surgery in removing part of an organ because of some nodules. I'm not too worried, but it is annoying to have to wait before I can make plans.
Hope you are enjoying your time on the road! How does car insurance work going through so many countries? And how will your budget change while on North America, where accommodations can be quite expensive?
Looking forward to seeing more of your adventure!
We really hope you get good news as far as you health concerns. The waiting can sometimes be the hardest part because life just seems to be on hold while you're in the in-between phases. We hope you get the information you need soon.
Car insurance can be a bit tricky - some countries need it, and some countries don't, although we plan to always get car insurance if there's a way for us to secure it. So far, we've been able to buy car insurance for through All State and in Mexico we can buy car insurance online as well. We're not too sure after that, but we'll look into it once we get to that point in the journey.
Accomodations in the USA will definitely be more expensive than we're used to in most places we've visited around the world, so we'll go through the states quickly. Mexico will be more affordable for sure :)
Oh that is awesome! I'm glad to hear you are are okay! Looking forward to watching your adventures. Did you keep your home? Still Renting?
We are renting it out which is awesome for us! We love that we can keep it as an investment property while we travel around
So relieved you got such wonderful news! Safe travels!! Question though from a fellow Canadian, after traveling so long how did you keep your OHIP? Thought you had to be in Canada like 6 months of the year?
thanks for this very real video about the practical impacts of giving up the conventional life in search for location freedom. I will be leaving home in Vancouver starting 2025 by quitting my job and learning about the whole world so this video is very useful for grounding myself
Glad it was helpful! It feels like a big risk to take the leap permanently and dedicate ourselves to being digital nomads, but we absolutely love this lifestyle. We wish you the best as you prepare for your own adventures and location independent life!
Get well soon dear Nicole, when I watch this video, I was really shocked and really sad but you are so so strong woman. With love from Istanbul, Türkiye 🇹🇷
Thank you! For now, I can relax and have the nodule regularly monitored. We are so lucky to have our health 😀
Good luck in your new journey and as toyota owner your vehicle is reliable, I subscribedwhile you're still in PI.
Awesome! Thank you! We are excited to start sharing our new adventures with you!
Such great news! Cannot imagine the fear, then relief, wow what a wild ride!
I thought you had said you were going back to Canada to work and make more money to travel? I'm so confused. Also how did you keep your healthcare coverage having been gone so long?
Thanks! To answer both of your questions - we've decided to jump into UA-cam with both feet and live off of this income! Things have been going well with the channel, so we are hopeful that we can keep growing this business while traveling and sharing the adventures.
And about health care - we actually lost access to healthcare at the 2 year mark of being away, but we were able to get it reissued immediately upon returning to Canada. Thank goodness, because just a few weeks later I found the lump!
Good to hear Nicole is cancer free✌️❤️🇬🇧
We are so grateful and happy with the results!
Thankful you're doing well, Nicole! I'm looking forward to the Central America series- I've been following you all on Instagram and it looks like so much fun. Also, is your pup a Labradoodle? We have one named Gus and their mannerisms are so similar :)
Awesome, thanks for joining in on our adventures! Evie is a labradoodle! She’s specifically an Australian labradoodle. It sounds like your Gus is also full of energy, very focused, and super loving 🥰
@@nicoleandmico Aww, Gus is also an Australian Labradoodle! He is very envious of Evie's adventures!
Wow amazing but 1st part so sad ,2nd part is enormous. Good luck 👍 ❤
Thank you so much! Can’t wait to share more with you
My daughter's nickname is Evie (for Evelyne) 😂 So happy for your clean bill of health!
What a coincidence haha! So cool. Thanks for your comment! We’re glad to be on the road again and it’s safe to say we have a new spark fueling us for the next big adventure 😎🥳
Oh gosh what an incredibly scary roller coaster you have been on. Life is definitely not for the faint of heart. So beyond happy for you Nicole and your clean bill of health. Phew! My husband and I always look forward to your travel videos as you do them so brilliantly. In your video before this one though you said travel was over ... that you were broke. So I'm curious how you're financially doing and how you are now managing to continue? Did your garage sale(s) bring in that much money? Travel on .. be safe ... and, enjoy your days! Thank you so much for what you do. Take care.
Thank you so much! Great question about how we're continuing financially, we got awfully caught up in the health part of our journey and didn't explain the money very well! We're making a go of making a proper income off of UA-cam, and Mico has picked up a part-time, remote job that helps as well. Our revenue from UA-cam and all that it encompasses has been much more stable in the past months, so we are hoping to keep growing that. So far things are looking good! As a worst case scenario, we'll pick up additional paid work that we can do remotely to help us stay on the road :)
So glad for the clean bill of health!
I have to ask but in the last videos you mentioned that you're running out of money - is the trip across NA cheaper or more affordable? Also please check out El Salvador 🙏
Thanks for your comment! We are so happy with the health results and could not be more excited for what's ahead of us. We are running low on funds but that was just on the money we saved for travel. We still have some for other uses and also the channel has started to really bring in an income. Not a lot but enough to keep us on the road sustainably so long as we travel slow enough. We will definitely be checking out El Salvador! Let us know if you have any recs :)
Yikes! I also had a thyroid lump biopsied. Not cancer. Thank goodness! But I do have Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, so my body is attacking my thyroid.
I am SO glad your nodule is negative for cancer!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for the well wishes! We felt so much relief when we got those negative results, I'm sure you know the feeling after having your own biopsy. I had to look up Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis - it sounds like it can be quite a challenging illness. I hope you are finding it manageable - thank you for educating us about it!
I wish more subscribers guys stay healthy and strong relationship 💪❤❤😊 from Philippines 😊😊
Thank you!!
Stay healthy
💙💙
Hay your be coming through my area. Ogden, Utah. You guys can do this. So glad you don't have cancer. I also wanted to tell you I also watch Lloyd and Mandy. Watch there last video. He gives subjections oh how to work remotely. They have done what you guys are doing and taking there dog Bear.
We haven't seen Lloyd and Mandy's latest videos, so thank you for the suggestion! We will definitely pop over to their channel and see what advice we can gather from them. I love that they have Bear with them too!
I can’t believe I am so invested in people I have never met before. But, I am. When you began telling us about the lump, I started to get worried. I have grown to care about you both since your first vlog. I have lost my mom, sister and two brothers and I worked in hospice. I had to retire early because of physical disabilities. So I have had lots of time to watch your travels and live vicariously through you.
I WAS SO RELIEVED AND SO HAPPY FOR YOU WHEN YOU RECEIVED THE GOOD NEWS. How wonderful that you can go on with your plans and enjoy life while you are young.
I am definitely looking forward to this next chapter in your lives. Thank you for including us as you live your lives to the fullest! Much love, Rita from Missouri, US.
Awe thank you Rita! We can't believe how long you've been following along on our journey! We are so honoured to share our adventures with you through the ups and downs of our lives and yours. I have a feeling we would get along well in life if you are a retired hospice worker. As a social worker, I have so much respect for people who are in that line of work. Thank you for the well wishes and for continuing to support us!
@@nicoleandmico I will always support you guys. I can’t monetarily, but, I watch till the end, watch the adds, like, and comment occasionally. So excited for this new journey. Let’s go! 🤗
why not invest on rooftop tent like the Thule Tepui Explorer or any other rooftop tent brands for your inland travel plans? I have seen one placed on a rav4 same year model as yours. maybe tent brands can sponsor one for you guys☺️ good to know that health scare is negative, thanks for the news, take care.
A rooftop tent would be pretty epic! We are a bit unsure of how comfortable we would feel with something that valuable sitting on top of our car though. One of the reasons we got an older vehicle is because we really don't want to stand out as foreigners while we're in Mexico and Central America. Our goal is to blend in as best we can, at least for now while we adjust to this new lifestyle. A rooftop tent is definitely not out of the picture though!!
Lucky you were in Calgary. If you were in Quebec, you wouldn't be able to have such a quick medical assessment.
We felt so lucky! My medical team was excellent at every step and we were so grateful to get such excellent and fast care
So glad it turned out to be nothing, what a terrifying experience though, the silver lining in these things is that you get to appreciate your time on this planet a lot more after a scare like this.
Yeah it really opened our eyes to a few things. Health is never guaranteed and we should always be grateful for everyday it’s on our side. Thanks for your support and can’t wait to share more with you!
Silver lining ❤ live in a place where there is good healthcare
Absolutely! We are so incredibly lucky to have access to Canadian healthcare
You need that thing on the roof from Mongolia! That was genius. Why don't we have that here???
A rooftop tent would be awesome! For now, we want to keep our car super low-key so we don't look like tourists (as much as that is possible), but once we get more comfortable with this overlanding lifestyle we might look into the rooftop tent!
Nicole, you are the third YTer we watch to have thyroid problems in the last 2 years--Sharla in Japan and kyde&eric are the others.
Oh man, I'm sad for them! I hope they had good fortune as I did
@@nicoleandmico They all had the same outcome as you, fortumately! We are glad you will be taking Evie with you. We can hardly stand to be without our dog Gemma for a work shif!
@etherdog I’m so glad! What a relief. And yes, having Evie with us is the BEST!!! We missed her like crazy these last few years
You guys on the road already?
We are!! Our video next Saturday will show the first half of our drive through the USA 😊
@@nicoleandmicoyay!!
Careful with that trip into Central America. Very dangerous.
We will be as careful as possible 😀
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
😊😊😊
This is exactly what I was thinking! This will be a huge mistake when you are in your 40s and have wealth built
We'll touch base in a decade and let you know! 😅
Glad to hear that the biopsy came back as benign, however do keep on top of it do exactly what the doctor's say religiously. And please be careful in South America, it's a much more dangerous than Asia.
Thanks so much! We spent 7 months in South America before and loved it. This adventure is only to Central America (we think) and we are so excited
Talk to Mormons when you go through Utah! Fundamentalist, polygamist Mormons!
That would be interesting!
Wait so what happened to going back to your careers? You are both highly educated don’t you want to have a future?
What do you mean don’t they want to have a future? Do you mean they can’t do that unless they go back to working?
Being a cog in the machine (in traditional careers) may feel safe and fitting in with what most people are doing, but are you sure that’s the only way to “have a future” as you say? Taking calculated risks is part of life. Let’s hope they can fulfill their goals doing travel and work nomadically, and earn enough to continue this as well as build up wealth over time.
@@veetour I guess, I did the opposite worked hard and retired at 40, what I see with the Nicole and Mico’s is they barely get by, teaching English at odd hours on the weekend to cover repairs on a 2008 Toyota

@@tommythailand7385 productive years? Please, you can produce as much as you want for as long as you want to. Why work harder when you can work smarter to set yourself up for your future? I’m tired of people dismissing others ways of sustaining themselves when it is not “the norm.” Having a regular job is not the only way to make money. They can always go work a normal job later in life if they choose. Freedom is what we should all want. I’ve used my degree enough to move on to the next thing. And I thank God I was talented enough to not have to pay for that shit 😂
Wait so your not going to start your careers? I mean you spent all this govt money on college and all you 2 plan to do is grift and not contribute anything to society
Whoa. Grifting? Lmao you sound like you’re mad that they have options and don’t have to have traditional jobs
How are they grifting?? They travel, vlog (their actual work) and pay their way. Jealousy is an ugly look sir.
We just want to know what government paid for our degrees 😂😂😂
What makes you assume the government paid for their education? Keep your misery to yourself.
