Leaving Canada is the Canadian dream.
Well don't give up on your dream! There are ways around this, If I was young again, I would get some retraining so I could work remotely. Reducing your cost of living is key and there are so many options out there.
Thanks so much for watching our videos and for reaching out.
Here is how we are living a nomadic lifestyle.

This channel is about to blow up. So many Canadians are looking to do this now. Excited for future videos!
Gosh, thanks for the kind words and thoughts. This is a labour of love for me,
So so many comments on here. We are blown away at how many people feel trapped in Canada and want to leave. Our next video will be released today or tomorrow.
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing. We really appreciate you taking the time to write. Stay tuned!
Cheers,
Jill
@@jillpemberton1434Hi Jill you and your husband did a great video and I'm very excited to be here and learn from you guys. I'm single so it's abit scary to move somewhere when you don't know anyone but I'm in my early sixties and have to work 3 jobs just to survive I would love nothing g more then to wake up every morning and walk a beautiful beach. I've heard there big communities of Canadians in Mexico and costa Rico but no idea how to locate them. I'm so happy you came up in my feed today....☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
yes until you get tax when you are back in Canada no thanks
Very happy for you ! My husband and I left Canada 2 years ago and we are living in Portugal and Spain. I came to Canada for 2 weeks to visit our daughter and can’t wait to get back to our home in Portugal where life is so peaceful and weather nice and sunny!
Well we might end up being your neighbours! We head to Europe starting the end of July.
We are going to look at residency in Portugal or Spain.
I felt the same way when I was visiting Victoria BC just two weeks ago. I could never go back to live there.
Thanks for subscribing and for the message. So much more to come!
Cheers,
Jill
@@jillpemberton1434 If you were to take up residency in Portugal or Spain, does that mean you'd need to give up residency in Mexico? Thanks!
@@paulinanelega once you have permanent residency in Mexico, you never need to give it up.
Are you interested in visiting Philippines?
The benefits to the older generation are unbelievable, I am very jealous. Possibly the only generation (or two) that have such large asset wealth that allows them to do this.
I left Canada 4 years ago and have not looked back. I cringe when I have to go back, everyone is so stressed out, angry, and not knowing their future........Good riddance Canada! I feel sorry for the people who are stuck there and basically forced to stay until they retire....
Yup... Could not agree more. Justin has trapped everyone! It's just awful. Best decision we have ever made!
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing. We really appreciate you taking the time to write. Stay tuned!
Cheers,
Jill
Where did you go? Australia is heading in the same trudeau direction. Would love to know...
For sure and it's getting worse! The government is in bed with the big corporations. Everything is going up in an alarming rate. The government doesn't care. More people are homeless than ever before! But they are still finding more ways to tax us to death. You are lucky to be living your dreams! I am retired and soon going to do the same. At least for the winter months. Stay safe from the east coast of Canada 🇨🇦 🙏
Yes it is awful ...prison planet
🥹😭
Canadian living in Dubai, decided to leave the country when my car was stolen from me at a gun point in Toronto. feel much safer here.
Wow that is crazy and scary. Canada is not what it use to be. The healthcare is a disaster, the crime, the cost of living. I went back for two weeks and could not wait to leave! Thanks for sharing this. I actually want to do a video in this. Maybe I could use your story?
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing. We really appreciate you taking the time to write. Stay tuned!
Cheers,
Jill
wow!
Gun point eh, but I thought guns were illegal in Canada, only for the taxpayer the criminals can have them 😩
Wtf!!! No words...
Only you will always be an expat in Dubai. They will never give you citizenship.
Great video, i'm a Canadian/ Eu Citizen, living in Poland... Although i love the country of Canada....The new Canadian dream is definitely getting out of Canada
Hey there,
Yes, I think this video has struck a nerve with Canadians. I think it's been in the back of the minds of many. I went back recently for two weeks and I could not wait to leave again.
Thanks for subscribing and taking the time to shoot a note. We head to Europe in July.
Cheers,
Jill
Why did you choose Poland among European countries?
@@vlal86 My guess is because Poland and Hungary aswell has not allowed an influx of migrants into their nations.
the problem with the Canadian dream is that you have to be asleep to believe it
It was over in the 80’s when my dad being a skilled electrician in Poland with his own business was told in Canada he couldn’t find a job due to LANGUAGE BARRIERS. Because of the constant stress and lack he developed cancer and died. My mom came after. I will not go down with a sinking ship and have it happen to me. Leaving is my only option.
Beautiful couple who loves one another and loves life, key ingredient for success. Enjoy.
Awww Thank you for the sweet and kind words. We are just having the best of times. 😍
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing. We really appreciate you taking the time to write. Stay tuned!

Ever since crime minister turdeau came into power Canadians have been suffering, the country is on a race to the bottom! You did the right thing, and so many others are doing the same, leaving Canada.
"crime minister" hahahahaha
Crime minister..I love that because it's true!!😂😂😂
I have gone the opposite way. After years of traveling, I now cannot face doing it again. I love my relaxing lifestyle at home. Each to their own 😊. By the way, I do agree that Canada is not what it was when we arrived 39 years ago.
Thanks for watching our videos. We can totally relate. Traveling can get exhausting. That is why we are now slow traveling. We have discussed this in past videos. Eventually we will buy another home and settle down. But for the time being we are loving our lifestyle. And when we do settle down, who knows where it may be. If Canada keeps going in the same direction it will definitely not be there.
I totally get it... I love your videos and live out your adventures vicariously. I think we are all keeping an eye to see if our beloved country continues to slide. Thanks again!
Where is? The only thing doesn’t change is change itself. It’s silly to expect everything stays the same.
same . i like my home . . and love quick travel now
@@edteach3r vote!!!!
Last year at 57 y old I left Quebec Canada to Live in Costa Rica 🇨🇷 I own nothing and have no depts. living on a small retirement and I’m sooo Happy 💃🏻🌈☀️❤️
Yes it’s amazing how little you need in some countries to lead a happy life. I hope we will be checking Costa Rica out in the near future. We have a friend in the process of moving down there now. He loves it.
Did you buy a place or just renting? There's Two different sides to the island I've been told...
Good for you for getting out of this place.
You vill own nutting and joo vill be happy! - Klaus Schwab
Not an island😬
How much money do you have? My lord, this is a rare situation to have such opiulence and opportunity.
Saw writing on the wall, sold everything, packed my family and left Canada 6 years ago. Couldn't be happier. Will be renouncing Canadian citizenship soon.
Yup, Could not agree more! The more we travel, the more backwards and behind Canada feels.I went back recently and it was depressing
It's better to have left a day or two too early than a day too late. I think Canada will start clamping down soon on people wanting to leave.The housing will take a big fall and people will be even more angry,
We have taken control of our lives and our future and we don't rely on any government. We now have real healthcare, lower taxes and a much better quality of life.
Cheers to you! Thanks for watching and subscribing.
why renounce? No advantage to you
@@jillpemberton1434 Absolutely! Unfortunately this situation has to get way worse before it can starts getting better. It could take generations. It's disheartening when the actions of a few corrupt individuals have far-reaching negative consequences that affect many innocent people.
Thank you for the video!
@@mactravel112 Canadian passport is becoming less and less valuable. There are much better options out there now.
@@bloodycrepe It's not really becoming less valuable and there have always been better passports. Canada remains in the top 25 or so, but renouncing does nothing for you. Even having two would be more advantageous. No good reason to renounce
Congratulations on being rich. Pocketing $4-$5 million from a house sale makes permanently travelling abroad a lot easier. Large amounts of investment interest income buys a lot of healthcare, scuba gear, great meals, rentals etc.
Trying doing this when you don’t have the capital. Being 60 and living on a limited budget and backpacking is really tiring.
Yes I totally agree. Traveling abroad is virtually impossible unless you have money. In the video we just released, we state that. If you don’t have the savings, you’re gonna have to work offshore. It is almost impossible to save money in Canada these days. People are struggling just to make ends meet let alone save. And all we’re saying is there are options out there. Thanks for watching our videos and taking the time to respond. We hope you find the time to watch our last video.
This coment is the reason why we are leaving your woke entitled attitude poor you for not making the right fiscal choices and shame on the disciplined right moves the people the are fiscaly responsible made for 40 years keep on doing what your doing
@@BM-zj3hy Really? Anyone who is over 60 only had to buy a house and wait 35-40 years to sell. You're no financial genius...you got lucky on an unprecedented growth from real estate.
@@TR-yo5nx financial genius has nothing to do with it I could not agree with you more 35 to 40 years of making the right choices and it pays off in the long term those who have made the right decision in life should not have to justify there life to the have nothing's best of luck in life I'm going to the Beach then lunch then a nap. As a matter of fact I think that's what I'm going to do all week.
@@BM-zj3hy good for you...sounds like you justified your life there lol. 'making the right choices', it was one choice, and you got lucky. Admit it, there's no shame in being honest about getting lucky but is small to brag.
I did just that; packed up my life, no furniture, and moved to Sardegna. Best move I ever made.
Wow thanks for sharing! Could not agree more with you of it being the best decision.The healthcare is a disaster, the crime, the cost of living. I went back for two weeks and could not wait to leave!
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing. We really appreciate you taking the time to write. Stay tuned!

Soooo lucky!! Did you go solo? I am single and that's the only thing that holds me back.
@@fffa1363I feel the same way I'm single and older early sixties and it's so different when you have a partner. I live in On-terrible aka ontario and it's brutal we're nothing more then working slaves to the corrupt g0vermen+ 🤦♀️
Gov. Evil scumbags now hijacked Entire Planet, nowhere to run.. Any Sane Government anywhere? Without change Gender, CLT change, New X Virus every other year, wars monger and all that nonsense? Please let me know, thanks.
@@fffa1363wait do you have to be in a relationship to move there? I'm confused lol
I have worked outside of Canada for two long stints. You do pay a big price when you leave Canada, you lose your second circle of friends. You become distant from your first group of friends. You lose Sunday dinners and you miss life events for friends and family. When you return you are an outsider. So, there is a price to pay when you emigrate. It is not all peaches and cream.
Hi there,
All things in life are not peaches and cream.
I think everyone is different based on their family situation and lifestyle. Everyone adapts differently.
For me, my parents were immigrants to Canada from the UK, I grew up with no family around me. I later replanted myself to the west coat, leaving school friends behind. Today through social media we have all reconnected, which is nice.
As for the kids, we were living blocks away from them and they were all busy, busy in their careers. Sunday dinners were too longing.
Today, the boys hop on planes and are thrilled to have an opportunity to travel, for free.None of them could afford to travel otherwise. We have the best quality times together and everyone is genuinely happy to be together.
My best friend in the world lives in Victoria, our friendship never wavers and is never judged. .We cheer each other on. For her, she has lived in Oak Bay all of her life and will never leave there. Everyone is different.
Thanks for watching! So much more to come :)
Cheers,
Jill
If you had all that, why leave at all. In our family, the parents had all died and our siblings were scattered across the U.S.
Sunday was just the one day we vegged around to rest from our long work week.
We were leaving the U.S. to vastly improve our quality of life.
It worked. We are the happiest we’ve ever been!
Let me get this straight. Your friends don't stay friendly with you because you left their immediate vicinity for a year or three. That is not a definition of a friend. Funny, I just went out for dinner with a friend from five to ten years ago and it was kind of almost like nothing had changed between us, apart from the missed time, literally.
@@MrGamman3yt What happens is your interests change. Another thing that happens is you may visit once or twice a year, see them for a day. The next time you see them, you view it as last weekend, but they have changed a lot in that time period. Regarding good friends, you never lose them, regarding people outside of that group, distance starts to build. When I went oversees, a friend told me about this. He was 100% correct.
It’s the same as when I immigrated to Canada with a tender age of 20….its all good , one makes new friends.
4 years Europe, 3 years Egypt, 3 years Kenya, 4 years Philippines and 1 year Guatemala for us. I wouldn’t have it any other way. You’re right, it’s not for everybody but it’s the life for me! Great video
Unstable life meaning tou cant be rich as no business can be run like that
@@jennythan4215 Yeah because everyones life goal should be: getting rich...
@@jennythan4215 my life has been rich in experiences. My stability came from my family who were with me, home is where your heart is
@@jennythan4215 Owning a business does not mean that you will be rich. I own a successful business and finally had a really good couple of years (2022-2023). It took many years of hard work. This year business is way down but CRA wants us to make tax installments (HST and corporate prepayments) based on last years revenue, while the Government hands out money like candy. I will not invest another penny into Canada until the regime changes. I would rather be an idle fool than a busy fool.
Good for You 2🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This is exactly what we did, sold everything packed up 3 suitcases each and moved to Mexico to explore the country. Cheers from 2 Canadians living in Mexico. ✌🏽😁
And cheers right back to you😎 Thanks for watching our video, and taking the time to respond. What are some of your favorite spots in Mexico? We are in Cabo San Lucas right now. It is a lot more expensive than it used to be. But if you know where to go can still be quite affordable
@@jillpemberton1434 Anywhere that the gringos aren't hahaha Though they are pretty much everywhere now. Right now we are in Xalapa Veracruz and love it. Spent just over 2 years in the Yucatan loved it though way to hot and so Americanized. Next stop will be the Oaxaca coast somewhere. Loved San Cristobal Chiapas, loved El Cuyo Yucatan and Bacalar. Loved loved Mexico city and Puebla. The Caribbean coastline has our heart as we have been holidaying in that area for 12 years prior to moving to Mexico. Enjoy the journey guys we wish you all the success in the world good health and spirits. ✌🏽 PS: If you want to live cheaper get away from the beaches and the gringo areas.
@@jillpemberton1434You may try Yucatan if you like hot very hot climate. If not, Puebla or San Cristobal, Chiapas. Oaxaca is lovely, yet one horse town. I live in Merida and Toronto ( used to live in Tsawwassen). Got used to this sizzling hot weather during springtime. The rest of the year is pleasant.
How do you fund your life in Mexico then?
@@matta7215 We sold our home 3 cars and everything we owned, and the wife works online for a Canadian company. ✌🏽
I'm in the process of selling everything I own I am a Newfoundlander by birth and after working in the mines of Northern Ontario I retired back in Newfoundland. I have world wide insurance and pension from Glencore. Before I came back home I spent two years living in Victoria on a 27ft C&C sailboat and taught myself how to sail never was so at peace when I lost sight of land yes I was on fishing boats but sailing isn't the same..I thought staying in the home of my birth would bring some contentment but like John Steinbeck said - 'You can't go home again because home has ceased to exist except in the mothballs of memory.'Hate everything I own like a heavy chain around my neck. I figured if I sell my house and everything in it to young family for a fair price and give them a start it makes sense. The house is worth a crazy price since I bought it twenty years ago. The fair price will get me a nice smaller sailboat I can handle myself until I get better at blue water sailing. Can stick to the B. C coast until I learn more maybe I will just buy a 32ft blue water boat first thing. Can live in temporary accommodations until I find what I need. Then check out Mexico and decide from there maybe stay in Canada in the summer and sail down to Mexico for 5 months.. Trust me I know how you feel but maybe people will think me crazy but how does a seagull explain that they have to head offshore now and then.. without you thinking them mad..
Thank you for taking the time to share your story. I was also a Maritimer, born in New Brunswick! My parents were immigrants from the UK. Randy and I, have worked hard all of our lives. We are not trust fund babies, nor did we inherit a penny from our parents.
Love the quote from John Steinbeck! I don't think you are crazy. I think you have courage and the bravery to go live your best life. The Negative Nellies, they wish on their death bed wishing they had done more.
We are living our best life. We keep on discovering more as we travel. We recently joined Trusted Pet Sitters and now will be traveling to Europe, Australia, New Zealand and staying in homes for FREE in exchange for looking after the owners pets. It's a great and cost effective way to travel. Stay tuned can't wait to share these stories.
Hi Thomas. I am a fellow Nflder living in Vancouver. If you want an additional hand sailing, let me know. I get out on the water any time I can!
Living life is all about having meaning and purpose. Being in my kids and grandkids daily lives is much more valuable to us than traveling the world. Traveling is great but we find it gets old when there are so many important moments to be together as a large family in Canada. Each situation is different and if there are no major ties or reasons to stay, maybe it is worthwhile to consider.
Hi there. Thanks so much for watching our video and taking the time to respond. As we mentioned earlier this lifestyle is not for everyone. It sounds like you have a wonderful life with your large family. I always say if you are happy, You’re doing the right thing. That really is the key isn’t it? Happiness.
This made me smile...I'm Canadian, I left Canada in 2004, and I can't imagine ever going back for a life, visiting sure, but for living I can't do it. Life means so much more now, life in Canada was so monotonous, boring, stagnant, now wow, who knows where the wind takes me next, and I love that feeling. Great to see I'm not the only Canadian out there doing this
Hi there!
Could not agree with you more. Life seems so much more interesting again. I have never felt more free and more in control.
I just posted today in the community’s chat ; I would love to do a film on stories - like yours. When you left, where you went, how you did it and how you feel today. I will be including others who have just left, ones who are in the process and ones of people who are just contemplating leaving.
I need about a minute video or if you are not comfortable in front of the camera a written story works too.
I feel like there are so many people that could use and need to hear about the other people’s experiences. If you could share that would be fantastic!

Liked and subscribed. My wife and I are of the same mindset. In the last while, ESPECIALLY the last 8 years Canada has become 'something else'. Not the once great, safe, friendly, clean, prosperous and welcoming country I was born in.
We have debated on leaving this once great nation as well. I will follow your exceptionally apt timed video for our situation for tips and pointers. Thank you and CONGRATS on finding your 'happy place'!
Hey there,
Thanks for such a lovely note.
Could not agree more with direction Canada is going. I don't feel safe, the healthcare is a disaster, tax, tax, tax and less, less and less in return. I was just there in Victoria and could not wait to leave again.
This was the best move we ave ever made and we have never felt more free.
There is a big world out there to discover. We want to preserve our nest egg and not give it to the Wacko government to waste.
Anyways, thanks for subscribing and stay tuned :)
Cheers,
Jill
I am actually thankful to live in Canada, I love my country Canada.
I am also very thankful to live in Canada. It is the most beautiful country in the world. And I love the rain and the seasons :)
Me too , was born in Thailand , lucky enough to live in Canada now . Only thing I want to change is get rid off Liberal Party and Justin Trudeau.
Canada is not what it was. I love the country hate the liberal sickness. your wrong and weak
@@SomjingCarter Thailand is much better than Canada IMO
If person has stable passive incone then yea Thailand is better
My family of 15 left Canada 3 years ago. Moved to Italy. Best decision we ever made.
Hi there. Thanks for watching our videos and taking this time to respond. We will be in Italy in the fall checking out our options. We are glad to hear you are happy there. Thanks for watching our videos and taking the time to respond.
My wife and I are from Canada and we have slowly transitioned to a beautiful here life in Panama. As you mentioned, it was a daunting task to sell our home and get rid of everything (including 5 cars!), but we did it one step at a time. We now believe it was definitely the right thing to do for us. We haven't bought a home, but prefer to rent (a beautiful beach-side condo!) as it gives us the freedom to go anywhere at anytime. We have attained our permanent residency in Panama and still travel back to Canada to spend time there as well. Thanks for the video. Hopefully it will help others see that transitioning to a better life is noy that hard.
Hi there,
Thanks so much for watching and for reaching out.
Yes we have heard a lot about Panama and that there are many Canadians in Panama. The residency is interesting because of the no inheritance tax too. We head to Europe in July but Panama is definitely a place that we want to check out.
I think fear holds so many people back and the lack of knowledge. Hopefully these videos help people.
Cheers,
Jill and Randy

Holy crap! I have been following other youtubers regarding full time travel after retirement for a couple months now... but I am really looking forward to everything you two are sharing. Being a Vancouverite (originally from the Island) I think I will be able to learn so much from your channel. So exiting!!! Thank you for sharing your journey.
Hi there!
Thanks so much for such a sweet comment. We really appreciate it.
We have a video in the works right now on how to do this,.. and so much more.
I started this channel not even knowing how to put a film together and its only been 6 months of documenting our journey. We are truly living our best life.
Well thanks for subscribing...stay tuned!
Cheers,
Jill
Love the pictures and vlog - enjoy
What a lovely comment.🥰
Thanks so much for watching and for subscribing to our channel. So much more to come, hope you follow us on the journey,
I am too low income to do the world traveling lifestyle, but I have been doing my own affordable version. I sold the house etc and just travel where I can drive to. That way, I can bring the dog with me. I agree Canada is not what it once was, but it's where I am. I have 2 sons, 1 in Ontario and 1 in Alberta, so I do lots of Cross Canada travel. I get to see my grandkids for months at a time! I travel the US, returning to Canada in time to keep my health care. I have been in good health, so that hasn't really mattered yet. Haven't made it to Mexico yet, but it's in the plans. It is a wonderful way to spend my retirement.
Many people don't have the option to jetset and play the world arbitrage game. You need to be well off like the folks in this video.
Hi, thanks for watching our video. We are really glad to hear you’re having a great retirement. If you do get the chance to go to Mexico, try the drive down the Baja. We have done it several times. We loved it.
I bet if you add up your travel costs, including owning a car, you'd find you spend more than what it costs to travel and live in much of the rest of the planet.
Good for you both! I told my husband that after the next election, if liberals are still there, we will be moving out of this country.
I am a medically trained Canadian doctor. Left as soon as i graduated and life has been a heaven so far. Good luck to you all
And good luck to you as well. Thanks so much for watching our video and taking the time to respond. Hope you find the time to check out our other goodbye Canada videos.
God, Bless this couple MORE than they are blessed right now, God!

Canadians have been impoverished by the current governments policies and taxation. Get out if you can.
Could not agree more!!! Did you here Australia, just imposed the highest taxes...Trudeau and Freehand will be coming for more!
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing and stay tuned.
😅Trudeau especially has destroyed Canada. Australia has the same story. Governments aligned with the WEF and UN and all the other lettered organizations quickly changing our once peaceful and prosperous countries into something unrecognizable.
Millions of Canadians shouldn't feel terrorized in the country where they pay for everything. Trudeau should be physically removed.
Congratulations on getting out of Canada! BC resident here and we have been doing 6 months in SE Asia and 6 in Canada...still wanting to move completely out of Canada as you two have done. There are a lot of moving parts to unravel before we can become full non-residents (CRA definition), but we are slowly working towards it. Looking forward to the next vids on the financial side.
Hey Thanks for subscribing, watching and for reaching out.
Yes we are working on that video now and the process for residency for Mexico. We are going to have our Mexican agent with us for the video. The process was actually very easy for Mexico and cost us under 1000 for the two of us. We loved KL.
Cheers,
Jill

Jill...sold my home in Victoria last year. With no family, I have wrestled with the ifea of being a nomad. This video is awesome......perhaps share how you folks manage travel/funds.
❤❤❤
Thanks so much for the lovely comment!
I have never been happier, more alive, more adventurous. Life is so much bigger than just sitting in a home in Victoria.
Have your money working for you,.
We will be going into the financials, residency in the next video - so stay tuned.
Thanks for subscribing, watching and for reaching out.

Thank you so much! It’s a work of love ❤️.
Thank you for taking the time to write and for subscribing to the channel…. really appreciate it!
Money solves piles of problems.
Thanks so much for and for watching and subscribing. We really appreciate you taking the time to write. Stay tuned! Money does help but there are avenues too, that are available.
Cheers,

I’m so glad I found your channel. I have 1.5 years to go until I retire. Looking to make a massive shift in the way I’m currently living cutting the cord…You’re an inspiration.
Thanks so much for and for watching and subscribing. We really appreciate you taking the time to write. Stay tuned!
Cheers,
Jill
Me too! Retiring in September 2025 - God willing! - can’t wait and then Bali, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Georgia and then Poland where I am originally from. After that year, we will decide where to make it more permanent
Boy is this video speaking to me. I lived in Victoria too for a couple of years and now still live across the water in White Rock. During the pandemic I left to Mexico and maxed out my 6 month visa and travelled a couple of more countries and loved it. Since getting back it hasn't been the same and yes Canada is going downhill in so many ways. I'm very much thinking about doing the same. Keep posting more good stuff.
Thanks so much. Couldn’t agree with you more. We will do our best to provide all the details of our journey. Good luck to you.
If I could afford it, I would leave. The Canada that I once loved is finished. We now live in the Republic of India.
Edmontonian here and I just discovered you and I'm so happy I did! OMG, what an inspiration you guys are!!
I started my own process about a year ago but I've kind of hit a road block in the form of an ailing parent so I'll have to keep things tame until that gets sorted out but my aim is to do the exact same thing you guys are doing and as soon as I can manage.
I've been following a few other slow travelers as well who are so inspiring - Dan and Qiang (Vagabond Awake), Amelia and JP, Drew Binsky, Andrew Henderson (Nomad Capitalist) and Alina Macleod (another Canadian).
I'm so happy for you both and I'll be a subscriber for sure because I want to learn as much as I can. Maybe we'll even get to meet up some day somewhere along the trail. All the best to you both!!
Thanks so much for and for watching and subscribing. We really appreciate you taking the time to write. Yes they are all great channels to watch.
Stay tuned! Releasing " the How to " soon maybe today :)
Cheers,
Jill
Saw your home in beautiful Victoria which you probably sold for more than a million dollars. You are rich so it is easy for you to adopt the nomad lifestyle. You guys probably worked hard to get where you are and it is great that’you are enjoying your new lifestyle, its just you cannot say to fellow Canadians that it is a lifestyle that is within the reach of most people.
Hi thanks for watching our videos and taking the time to respond. As we mentioned in the video this life is not for everyone. And yes we did work hard and achieved a certain amount of success. But a big part of the reason we got where we are, is that we have always been frugal. We try not to spend more than we have to. And that is why we’re living offshore. Canada has become ridiculous. And during our travels we have met many people, young and old. All different income levels. And the one common trait they all possessed was they were happy. We are going to go a little more into detail on our next video around finances. Hope you can join us.
It doesn't cost as much as you think. Look into what your current lifestyle REALLY costs, and I bet travelling full-time would cost less. There are many more and better options out there than you might think.
@@jillpemberton1434 Looking forward to your next videos.
@@jillpemberton1434so may I ask if you’re living off investments? Do you work or have that freedom not to?
Precisely. Like so much of social media, videos like these don't reflect the reality on the ground for the vast majority of today's younger middle class, who have near zero hope of owning a home in North America, or of accumulating wealth anymore. Blame corporate greed; wealth hoarding; and failed public policies written by the "donor" class. In fact, the past 45 years have seen the greatest wealth transfer in history from middle income earners to the top 2%. And our society is collapsing because of it.
Hi just subscribed to your channel. I turned 50 a few years ago and 55 is around the corner, once my son is through college we are of a similar mindset and will consider travel. And becoming an expat of this once great country….I have been preemptive about readying our nest egg for exit, although there will be some tax implications once we fully leave for good. I agree with your points. Travel while your healthy and. Having true healthcare is a dream that Canadians don’t really have. I will enjoy your channel and the tips you will have for those who will surely follow suit. Enjoy. Be safe and god speed.
Cool! Thanks for subscribing and taking the time to write. Yes travel while you are young enough and healthy enough. We just did our taxes and omg ... what a difference!
We have more detailed videos coming up about the process, how we do it and some new surprises about how to stay for free too,
We will be traveling to the UK and Scotland in July, - then Italy, Australia and New Zealand in the works. Can't wait to share!!
Let us know if ever need any extra information.
Cheers,
Jill
@@jillpemberton1434 thank you Jill. Yes I look forward to making notes and thank you for the extended offer, I will most likely take you up on that as we plan……it’s a bit easier to plan when someone can advise of the challenges that were faced. Take care and look forward to your videos.
We are glad we found your UA-cam channel. Been watching lots of retirement videos and got excited with yours because you are from Victoria. We are from Victoria also and planning to retire at 55. Can't wait for more of your videos. Thank you for sharing.😊
Hi there!
Thanks so much for watching, subscribing and for reaching out. I lived in Victoria for most of my life and my two sons are still there. It's always nice to connect with people from Victoria. We will be back in Victoria July 6th - 20th. Then we were off to the UK,, Italy, Australia, New Zealand...then who knows ?
Wd have some videos coming up about on how we financially do this and achieve this lifestyle. We also have one coming up with our Mexican agent to discuss the process. It's actually a very easy process, the toughest step is the first one. The cost is about 500.00 p/p. Once you have permanent residency, it"s good for always. I think things are going to get tougher in Canada.
Stay tuned! Nice to connect :)
Cheers,
Jill
Yep, we are doing the same!! It's so exciting :)
So cool. Best decision we have ever made!
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing. We really appreciate you taking the time to write. Stay tuned!
Cheers,
Jill
This is exactly how I feel versus Canada now as I live there and looking with extremely high interest to move into Mexico.... at first. 1st trip to check out from this coming fall. Cool video. Thanks for sharing.
Well make sure you stay tuned because we will have a video talking about the details with our agent that helped us. The entire process is easy and will cost less than 1k. What is so great about Mexico - is that you don't actually have to live here but now we have complete freedom. If you need any information - feel free to contact us anytime.
Cheers,
Jill
Thank you guys, and I'm so happy for you! This is also my dream lifestyle, and I'm working on it...
Well keep working on it! It is so worth it. Dropping a video today or tomorrow on how to and the cost.
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing. We really appreciate you taking the time to write. Stay tuned!

What a wonderful video. We sold our large house and farm in Ontario last August. Bought a motor coach. Still have a storage unit full of stuff. The plan is to downsize to nothing. You guys are an inspiration.
Hi there. Thanks for watching our videos and taking the time to respond. Good luck in your journey. We struggled a bit getting rid of all our stuff. But now I have learned, Everything you own owns a piece of you.
Agreed, living in Canada is just wasting of life. I hope to join others that already left.
Hi there,
Don't give up, it is possible. There are so many options and ways to go about this.
Here is the rest of the Goodbye Canada series - I think these could really help you. Time for some binge watching 🤣 If you ever have any questions - please feel free to reach out- always happy to help.

We’re retired but primary care givers for our 100 yr old & 89 yr old mothers. We go south 2 months of winter so taking our time. One step at a time 👍
Exactly. It is a process. Unfortunately our parents have passed. We wish you good luck in your journey. And thanks for watching our videos and taking the time to respond
I'm dreaming of your lifestyle. Unfortunately, my wife can't wrap her head around this kind of lifestyle. sigh
Hey there,
Well show her the video because I was very reluctant at first but I'm 200 % in it now.
I think slow travel is a great and perhaps easier way to adapt. We recently joined Trusted Pet Sitters, the world is our oyster now. We are pet sitting in some of the beautiful and luxurious homes around the world for FREE. It's a game changer.
I still want to do adventure travel like going to see the great silverback gorillas but I also like my comforts too.
Thanks for watching, subscribing and we hope you both continue to follow our journey,
Cheers,
Jil and Randy
@@jillpemberton1434 we did three treks to sit with the gorillas (ages ago when it wasn’t overly touristy). Life changing experiences for sure but not sure if it’s a well managed activity?? We went there in honour of Diane Fossey who was murdered by the locals for trying to protect the gorillas. It’s a complicated world. Also. What struck me is how Monsanto, bought by Bayer, was growing chrysanthemums for pyrethroids. Not sure sure if there’s a balance wrt food security and economic benefits for Rwanda 🇷🇼. Lovely people though. We had the best trekking guides ever. So much fun. Overall great experience and I love the Great Apes. Trivia question. Without cheating. How many great apes are there in the world?
I admire your guts! If I were not alone, I would definitely think about doing it your way! Thanks for sharing your experience! I wish you both the best!
Thank you so much!
...."if I were not alone..." yes. This makes a big difference and is easier to navigate with a partner.
Yes, it’s true if I wasn’t alone I would do the same thing❤
My wife and I did the same thing 3 years ago we have permanent residency in Mexico it is super easy to accomplish for having the time of our life

That is wonderful to hear! Yes it was the best decision we have ever made. We are in Cabo right now. 😎

we left Victoria BC last year and moved to UK . it wasnt easy uprooting after 30 years there .. but most everything is way better in my home country . and we get to travel way more . we have been traveling for 40 years since we met . so we wont do as much as you now , i love being at home with all my comforts too . . . been there done that etc .. . and sadly most places are way worse than when we first went

having three different Passports and two permanent resident I too enjoy the freedom of travel.
I love it!
We will not stop at Mexican residency either. I think the more you have, the more freedom you obtain.
We have reduced our taxes, we have real healthcare now and complete freedom. We do not rely on any government.
On another note, thanks for subscribing and watching. We have so, so, much more coming up.Hope you continue to follow our channel 🥰
Cheers,
Jill
of those five countries, where do you spend the most time? And which passport do you use most of the time?
@@mactravel112 I just use the one that allows me a visa free entry. I don't know which one I use more. Visa free and unlimited stay is what I look for.

It’s what I have been planning for the last 20 years. I will leave next October traveling for life living from dividends
Hey there,
Thanks for watching and subscribing. We have some great videos coming up on the process and how we actually do it. We also live off our dividends, we take a modest 4 % and could easily take more but we actually don’t need it. Our accounts are growing with our portfolio manager.
This has been the best move we have ever made.
Lower your taxes, better health care and you are completely free.
Please feel free to reach out anytime if you ever have questions. The process is easier than you think. It cost about 1k dollars for the two of us… so easy.
Cheers,
Jill

@@jillpemberton1434 Game 7! Let's GOOOO!
@@jillpemberton1434 $1000k?? wow, that's way less than I thought. Im born and raised in Victoria, too. Man, is it depressing here these days. I really want to leave but don't know where to. Have young kids so can't quite do the nomad thing but I really want to take advantage of our home equity and get out sooner than later. I don't see much good happening here in the next 10-15 years.
Hi again. Just to be clear the thousand dollars I was referring to was the cost of achieving our Mexican permanent resident status. You can do it cheaper than that, but we had a business agent assist us in dealing with immigration. That process can get quite confusing especially if you are not fluent in Spanish. We will be featuring her in our next video. So stay tuned.
I'm so glad to have found your video , I'm a Canadian from Quebec and for the past 18 months i am preparing myself to start living in south east Asia.
I'm renovating my 2 house to sell them , i will keep my camping trailer and my SUV who is capable to pull it .
i will visit my family and friends during the SUMMER only .
Your video solidified my life choices for the future , Thanks
Awesome. We are so happy for you. We just spent a year in Southeast Asia. We have some great videos if you get a minute check them out. And thanks for watching our video and taking the time to comment.

Well that so sounds like a plan! We love SE Asia, so many cool places .Here are a few places you might like We love, love Indonesia. The Gili Islands are amazing so is Kuta on Lombok Island.

This is living life right! Glad to see you guys enjoying your life, I think what a lot of people will wonder is how much does it cost, and how can you afford to sustain a lifestyle like this. I am sure decades of hard work and sacrifice led up to this era of your life but for most people I think what holds them back is budgeting, finances and all the questions and concerns surrounding that and how to make it last long term
Hi there. Thanks for subscribing and watching our video. Yes you’re right. We did not just fall into this. We are forced to work hard our whole lives. And we believe now it’s a time to enjoy it. We never realized how expensive Canada was until we left. We are working on a video right now that should be out shortly. We will go into detail all aspects of the process, that took us to where we are today. Stay tuned. Thanks again.
I left Canada for Portugal, should have my residency here soon as I've already had all my meetings. Best choice we've ever made.
Great to hear! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to write to us.
Portugal is on our list. We head there this year. We are starting in the UK in July.
We are looking at second and third residencies now. We originally chose Mexico because it was so easy and we are not obligated to live or own anything here.

So stay tuned...

My husband and I also got permanent residency in Mexico and said goodbye to the sinking ship of Canada! So many Canadians down here just like you guys and us. The healthcare is phenomenal and also, if you get your money out before the debt bomb goes off, you can make a minimum of 11% in a GIC in banks in Mexico. Yep! Better do it soon though because the government is panicking and trying to find ways to stop that.
Yes I heard that. Apparently Justin’s talking about a $25,000 departure tax. Glad to hear you’re enjoying your new life. Where in Mexico are you guys? Thanks so much for watching our videos and taking the time to respond.
We have been full time travellers for almost four years now! We love the life and will continue to travel as long as it's fun.

You had me at "canada is not what it used to be". This coming from an immigrant! Congratulations first of all, thank you for the video and it for sure puts things in perspective. Here in the Peoples Socialist Province of Quebec, I feel that with time, you become a lobster in a hot pot - develop the Stockholm syndrome. You feel things are not right but nobody around you feels it or says anything, you feel weird and then you meet people that DO or DID feel it and did something about it. Canada from its state run propaganda media dont help - how is it possible that people die in the Hospital waiting room?! Why are they not helping make Canada the country it one was by educating and properly informing its people?!
This is not only sad but it should trigger a CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION. How can Canada have people die in the hospital waiting room with the amount of money thrown in to this system... yes now the "its free crowd" will come and defend it.
It will be interesting to know what you did to transfer out the money and from where you handle your finances.
Thank you again and please enjoy on behalf of the ones that cant leave for the moment ;)
My brother lives on long Island. Before he had Obama care he had a procedure done at the hospital. It was around 15 K to do that. No insurance so he had to pay out of pocket. No money so they put him on a payment plan for God knows how long. Is that what you want. No thanks I will wait my turn.

Good advice for Canadians that have the means to leave Canada and see what life is like outside Canada .
My wife and I did the same thing 10 years ago when I retired we got rid of everything and moved to Saigon Vietnam .
We were living in Scarborough Ontario not as beautiful as Victoria BC so our decision was easier to get out but I still remember thinking are we doing the right thing ?
You really realize all the things you accumulate in life when you have to get rid of it .We bought a Condo in Saigon and had to start over furnishing it but are keeping it simple trying not to hoard too much stuff .Saigon has to be one of the most dynamic cities in the world there is always something to do it never gets boring .
We travel so much in Asia and Vietnam that we are going somewhere every two months .Just got back from Japan and Korea and last year were in Thailand 3 times and Malaysia 2 times .
Flying Air Asia or Vietjet is very cheap and I can hop on a plane and be in Bangkok in a hour and a half .Life in Vietnam is cheap and after 10 years there really hasn’t been much inflation at all and getting around is so convenient and cheap .When we travel we can always get a decent hotel for about 50 dollars CND and when we go to KL stay at 5 Star hotels because the value is amazing.Last time in KL stayed at the Ritz Carlton for about 200 CND in Toronto that would be 800 bucks and even when I checked last year a Holiday Inn express inn Toronto was close to 400 a night ? Canada was a great place growing up but it’s not the same country I don’t recognize it anymore .Haven’t been back in 5 years but read the news and can’t believe the crime in Toronto with murders and car jacking going on .Canadians are getting poorer but ironically in Vietnam a communist country the amount of wealth creation I see is unreal it’s free enterprise on steroids. They have pulled people out of poverty and there is a growing middle class and super rich .And the thing is it is the Vietnamese themselves getting rich unlike in Canada when you see wealth often it is foreigners bringing in their money to Canada to launder , the average Canadians aren’t getting rich they are falling behind.
Ironically again being a communist country you would think there are no freedoms here but I have more freedom here than Canada and Saigon is incredibly free wheeling if you get my drift the police pretty much leave you alone here .In Toronto I had to go to a government store to buy beer and alcohol here you can buy anywhere .In Canada you can only go to Government run Hospitals here there are over 100 hospitals in Saigon with your choice of cheap government run hospitals or deluxe private hospitals your choice whatever your budget.
And again been to KL for special treatments .
So my advice is like yours get out while you can and this 6 months here and six months in Canada thing doesn’t work out you don’t want to pay to maintain a place you only use half the year in a city you don’t really even want to be in .
I tell my Canadian friends and relatives they should get out while they can but they say oh but you live in a third world country lol if they only knew 😂
Will probably have to visit Canada someday to tie up loose ends but I don’t look forward to it .
Hi there,
Thanks so much for writing and taking the time write to us. We really appreciate you sharing your story. Wow 10 years... Vietnam 😍
Things just got too crazy for us in Canada and we think real estate only has one way to go and that is down!
We know so many Canadians quietly leaving Canada, like us. We have the "Get Out Of Jail Card" ... It is funny how people think South East Asia is only for the poor.
We both love Vietnam. I use to manufacture first in Saigon and later Hanoi. Randy loves buying his clothes there.
We should be passing through some time after January.
Here is the rest of the Goodbye Canada Series.

We live in Alberta. Soon to have 2 kids in post secondary. I’d like nothing more than to leave and live happily/peacefully in another location. It’s hard to balance this. Contrary to some I feel our health care is severely lacking. Waiting 6 mths to a year for diagnostic tests is outrageous. We’ve had to pay for several private MRIs and took our teen out of country for spine surgery. What a shame! Several family members have not been treated well by the system either. It’s broken. Our woke school systems are completely awful too. Hard to keep deprogramming the last 5 years. Not to mention the terrible govt that lacks accountability. All by design. If we leave we need to figure out the tax system implications. How do we leave our kids in post secondary? There’s so much to consider. The stress of the last 4 years has taken a huge toll. I love to dream a little watching your videos which I just discovered.
Hi there. Thanks for watching our video and taking the time to comment. Your comments have really touched a nerve. It brings a tear to our eyes. Hearing that you were going to dream of another life really inspires us to help others achieve their goals.
If both you and your wife feel the same way, you are halfway there. You’re in a very different situation than we were in the fact that you still have kids at home, going to school. During our travels we have met a lot of ex-pats, with school-age children. There are some amazing schools in other countries. Schools that educate children to succeed in life, as opposed to educating wokeness. But as I mentioned earlier because our kids are well on their way we have not really educated ourselves on the details of living abroad with children. But because of yours and others comments we are going to look into it, during our travels. We will be releasing a video shortly on how to replicate what we have done. And hopefully sometime down the road we can become better informed, and help people like yourself’s.
@@jillpemberton1434 If I had younger kids in school it would be very easy to move. For us, one is partially through a university degree and the other soon to start. It’s a huge struggle right now but I’m gathering information to some day make the best transition for our family with the least financial consequences. I see this country in a huge decline. It won’t get any better over the next year and a half. We have opportunities to relocate to the USA but I fear Americans are slightly behind what’s been happening here. Maybe better off than us but on the decline as well.
You're doing what most of us dream of but can't do. This is called enjoying life. I landed in Toronto 25y ago, unfortunately, the gov have driven this country into a dark hole, with over 100k a year you can't afford a trip once a year, everything is skyrocketing. If it wasn't for my kids I would've been gone long ago.
It's absolutely appalling with what's happening in Canada.
Our kids will never be able to afford a home I have encouraged them to brush up their skills to suit a remote life.
While traveling there are so many expats and there are some amazing schools in countries like Malaysia and Thailand for foreigners.Don't give up, there are always options!
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing. We really appreciate you taking the time to write. Stay tuned!
Cheers,
Jill
Many of us feel the same. No political party should ever be allowed to do so much damage.
You guys are TRUE INSPIRATION! Thank you for putting out this VALUABLE video!
Hi there. We are really glad you enjoyed the video. We will be releasing two or three more in the very near future. I hope you can check them out. And thanks so much for watching our videos and taking the time to respond.
Such a beautiful video. i always wanted to drop everything in this fast paced western Canada life and travel overseas and live on beaches with the simple things in life... Calgary, Alberta here...
Hey there,
You can still do this!
Thanks so much for and for watching and subscribing. We really appreciate you taking the time to write. Stay tuned!
Cheers,

Thank you for sharing. I'm in the process of leaving Canada right now. Yes the transition at times is overwhelming. Thank you, your video it's been helpful
Thanks for taking the time to comment
I am so glad we did this! The toughest step was just starting but after we started it became an easy process of step by step.
We are working the next video about the steps and the path to freedom. Stay tuned!
Thanks for subscribing!
Cheers,
Jill
Just gonna watch this incredibly inspiring video on repeat!!!
Hey there,
Thank you for taking the time for sending such a sweet note. We really appreciate it!
I think we have struck a nerve with Canadians on this video.
We were are working on a video of "How to and Why" right now.
Thanks again for watching and subscribing!
Cheers,
Jill
@@jillpemberton1434 Thank YOU for sharing your experience and helping us get answers to all our questions! I have already shared with many of my friends:)
I'm doing that!!
van life, travel, spend ur kids money and live frugal
It's all about enjoying life and living within your means and always moving forward.
We are actually protecting our assets so that Wacko Trudeau doesn't get it and the kids have something to inherit one day.
Thanks so much for subscribing , watching and taking the time to write.
Keep it going with your van life !!!... So much more to come
I also agree with this, I've been looking into trying this out with my family. Great video!
Hey thanks so much for commenting.

We left Canada in November 2023 for Spain planning to become residents, then we realized that we wanted to travel for a while, so because of our double nationality we could stay travelling in Europe, now in July we will be in Canada for a month and then back to the road to South America.
Nothing better than selling everything and becoming a nomad.
Your story sounds very similar to our own. We were planning on settling down in Cabo San Lucas, but decided to stay free and travel the world. We are going to be back to Canada in July as well. Three weeks in Vancouver/Victoria. And then off to Europe.
This isn't for everyone is very true. I would sell everything and see the world in a minute if I could. But as a type 1 diabetic, I can't go anywhere and eat anything. My meds keep me alive and require that I plan ahead. But loved your video and spirit. Would love to live in some island paradise but my trips away will be limited to 1 or 2 weeks.
Hey there,
Thanks for sharing,
I'm not in your shoes with being type 1 diabetic, I'm sorry, it must be tough. Well keep watching our videos and maybe you might stumble a paradise island.I will keep looking for you.
Some of my friends back in Victoria, always would say to me "but Jill its Asia, not so clean" I have travelled through Asia in the past for work and now for pleasure. Never once have I been ill. The only place that I have been sick 4x is Maui at the Marriott in Wailea.
The hospitals in KL Malaysia and Singapore make Canadian hospitals look archaic.
Stay tuned, looking for paradise.
Cheers,
Jill
You don't think there are other diabetics around the world?
It might be more of an "excuse", than a "reason" ... just sayin'
Really appreciate your videos and information! Way to go!! So happy you made this great positive change for yourselves. Your video was fantastically arranged ( info, videos and music ). I am looking forward to more and want to thank you greatly for what you are doing!
Thanks so much for the lovely compliments. And thanks for watching our videos and taking the time to respond.
Currently living in Victoria and honestly I feel house poor. I am really interested in what you’re doing. Thank you both for leading the way.
I totally understand. Everyone is living month to month.
Thanks so much for and for watching and subscribing. We really appreciate you taking the time to write. Stay tuned!

That's easy to say when you sold the house at the peak of the housing bubble and good planning with the earnings from the house into a tax exempt trust fund. Also sounded like a couple of government pensioners.
Hi there. Thanks for watching and subscribing to our channel. Yes we did sell our home at a good time. Real estate is still very expensive in the area where we sold though. No one knows for sure, but we believe there’s going to be a very large downturn in the Canadian real estate market. And yes we did invest the proceeds into a conservative balanced portfolio. This is not a trust fund though. Both Jill and myself worked very hard our whole lives, and are reaping the rewards now. We continue to do this because we continue to make wise investment decisions. And right now, we believe owning a home in British Columbia, is a poor investment. It also ties us down.
@@jillpemberton1434 I am a life-long Canadian (roots go back to 1600s on both sides of the family) I have been in Victoria since 1989 and agree that it has gone downhill fast. Stew Young messed up the WestShore. Way too many houses without the infrastructure to support it. Downtown is a drug & homeless wasteland. Traffic is starting to feel like lower Mainland.
One thing that I disagree with is regarding the expected downturn in the R.E. market. Maybe other parts of Canada but not here. I have seen at least 4 separate "downturns" in the market and all I saw here was prices *hold* for a year or two. Then they continued on their steady climb northwards. The first house I bought here is now worth 7 times what I paid for it and can bring in $3k/month on top of that in rent.
I will go look for your next video for details but when you say you are saving money by leaving Canada- does that actually mean that you are "spending less"?
It’s good to hear stories like yours. I lived in Canada over 20 years and decided to move to Southeast Asia. Met my wife and married there.
Awesome. We are so happy for you two. And thanks so much for watching our videos and taking the time to respond. Where in Asia are you guys? We just did a year traveling throughout Southeast Asia. We did several videos well down there. Hopefully you can check them out.
Nice inspiring video! I migrated 15yr ago to canada (was golden time) made over $10mil, now planning to move out to usa/panama. Thanks for taking time to provide all the useful links…
Oh thanks for watching our video. We have heard good things about Panama. Who knows maybe we’ll see you down there😎
I’m really excited to follow this! I’m a 33 year old single woman with no children or hubs from NB. I’ve been talking about this for the past two years. Canada is not like it was when I was a little girl. Please, share share share how to achieve this ❤ Thank you!
Thanks so much for your message! I think if I was.young like you, I would be spinning my brain on how I could work remotely. I would be brushing up my skills focused on this. We met so many young people living in Malaysia, Indonesia, Egypt and in fact all over the world and they get paid in Euro and US dollars - smart!
Canada use to be the land of opportunity - that no longer is present.
Think big! Dare yourself and believe in yourself.
I grew up on a dairy farm and moved to Vancouver. I had nothing and no support on any level. I had no job experience, no home, no family or friends. I didn't even realize my clothes still smelled like the cows.
Dig deep, believe in yourself and you can do anything!
My two sons 27 and 31 ..like so many Canadians can't seem to get ahead even though they have good paying jobs.
Stay tuned!
Cheers,
Jill
My wife and I are the same age or so as you, we live in Penticton BC, we are right on the edge, wanting to do exactly what you are doing
So Cool! It's not as scary as one would think. I am so glad that we did it! We were tired of Trudeau, as he's coming for more and more! I said no more!!!
If you have any questions about the process or want the contact we used in Mexico - please feel free to reach out.
You do not need immigration lawyers or anything like that, the process is easy and the cost is around 1k
Thanks for subscribing and watching, Stay tuned so so much more to come!!! We are heading to UK, Italy, Australia and New Zealand. Most of our accommodation is free. Can't wait to share as it is a game changer to travel.
@@jillpemberton1434 sent you an email
@@jillpemberton1434can you make an video of the whole process step by step. Thanks!
I’m in Penticton too with a young child. Loking for a way to make money abroad and homeschool my daughter so we can escape the school system and travel
Penticton is overrun by immigrants and sellouts from Vandsterdam. It isn't pretty. Old people and high-school people and nothing in between. A dingy Parksville '
I just finished watching your video. You two are so inspirational!
Hi there. Thank you so much. What a lovely compliment. Hopefully we inspire a few people to search for a better way of life. We both agree we’ve never been happier. And thanks for watching our videos and taking the time to respond.
Very intriguing - and you clearly did something right with the way you titled this video (Thumbnail). It showed up on my feed and I'm watching you guys for the first time. Liking the logistical info, ie health care. You've hooked me as a viewer:)
Hi there!!!
Thank you so much! Glad you liked the video. We are working on a more in-depth video on healthcare now.
In the meantime, this is the follow up video to this one. . The video goes through the actual process, how and why we did it, and what our average monthly costs are. I hope you enjoy it!

Great video. I take it you are planning on collecting your CPP and OAS and paying into MSP? I am 57 and fortunate enough to be able to avoid collecting until 70 so the amount should be more than $2500 a month. That pays a nice rent somewhere warm. MSP seems a bargain as well. So plan on paying if required. Your thoughts?
Hi Steven,
We are releasing a video today or tomorrow that will answer some of your questions better than I can explain writing to you. I can tell you, you can live like a king for less than you think per month. I think you will be shocked.
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing. We really appreciate you taking the time to write. Stay tuned!

@@jillpemberton1434 nice. I look forward to seeing it. I have travelled most of the developing world. Lots of pros and cons to consider. One thing for sure, 100k a year in passive income is still worth a lot in many countries. For me the big take away is remaining fit and healthy… “No country for old men” should be a disclaimer in many places.
We left 7 years ago and have never been happier
So great to hear! Best decision we have ever made!

Just stumbled in to this channel. Totally feel the same way about the direction Canada is going in. Just subscribed and look forward to hearing more about your journey and the information to one day do the same with my wife. God bless you both
Well we wish you good luck in your journey. And thank you so much for watching our videos and taking the time to respond.
I left Quebec 2 years+ ago . I go back in the next few months...to sell stuff and make things much lighter. I'm full time working still. It's challenging but I looove it and there is no way I will go back to my previous live
Thanks for sharing your comment! Life is interesting.

Canada is getting worse by the day. I feel like a foreigner in Canada now. Toronto is going downhill rapidly.
I want to know all about MX. What was their c-vid vaccine policy in 2021/2022? Did they have mandatory vax passport?
Hey there,
Could not agree more!
No Vax passports in Mexico!😍

Happiness is a choice. It starts from within and has zero to do with the outside. Money or no money we all made choices with how to live and /or spend our lives. It’s easy to judge others and say must be nice or you are so lucky or look what you have. I have learned to not take it personal anymore these judgements because they have nothing to do with me. Actually what anyone thinks of me is none of my business. Happiness is a choice. ❤
@@evapierozzi1138 Yes you are so correct. Put people love telling everyone on You Tube and Facebook how happy they are. I have family members like this. Everything they do and eat must be put on Face book to show their great life. Maybe just be humble and private with your happiness then. You have made your millions and people do not need to know.
Wow. Thx si much for replying.
I will be following the rest of your videos
That’s great thanks so much. We’ve done several other videos in the goodbye Canada series. Hope you can watch them all. And thanks so much for taking the time to respond.

'Canada is definitely NOT what it used to be' - That statement could not be any more true! Unfortunately it is the Government that WE elected the last eight years that made it this way, and it is doubtful that a new Government can change things back, as the damage is done :(.

Could not agree more with the direction of Canada There are other options available to leave.We have never looked back.

We can only hope that voters see the error of their ways and remove this despot Trudeau and his lackeys the NDP. If not there really is no hope for the country and little reason to stay.
