"Become a student of the new world." Probably some of the best advise I've ever heard. Do that and you'll be amazed at how quickly and seamlessly you'll begin to feel at home in that world.

I have been in Europe for two months. I miss having my own car some times and THAT’S IT. It probably helps bigly that I grew up in Europe, so everything around me feels amazing. Food in Europe is so fresh and natural. People are real and open. Ladies are thin and well-mannered and well-dressed. Uber is easy to catch and there is a cafe or bakery on every block. Medication costs 10-30 times cheaper. I can walk everywhere and not look like a weirdo. Mind-blowing experience.
As I listened to your Pasta Olio story, I kept thinking, “Dan, call the Italian Restaurant in the US and ask for the recipe so you can make it at home.” I smiled big once you shared the punchline and shared how you replicated the recipe at home from what you remembered and made it even better. Thank for the wise counsel.
Completely agree 100% Dan, heck I just moved from your home US state to another state and my # 1 mistake not likely the new state, is I was comparing everything too much and learned in retrospect that was dumb and embrace the new regions with an open mind.
My first week the 1st time coming to Thailand in January 2017 for 30 days was not good, until I did a re-evaluation of my mindset. I started telling myself I'm not in North America and if I don't change my attitude I will be miserable here. It worked and I'm back in Thailand for the 6th time since then and this will also be my 3rd entire winter away from Canada. Good advice Dan. I Love Thai food. 🙏
Thanks for the tip on finding the best restaurants. It's my first day in Peru. This is much better than scrolling through and reading all the reviews on Google Maps ❤
This video should get many to think about all the subjects covered. Eye opener. I never heard any other foreign vlog cover so much as this video has. I was astonished with all that i was shown and connected with in Malaysia due to the people i met and that is a story way out there. Good on Dan and Chung.
Full name: Aglio Olio or pasta con aglio e olio: (hot but not smoking) Extra virgin olive oil with browned garlic poured over pasta, often with grated parmasean cheese on top (which melts the cheese over the pasta). Then, it is finished off with red pepper flakes and / or black pepper. Pronounced phonetically "alio olio" I also enjoy this dish very much, being from a southern Italian family. Congratulations for learning how to cook it yourself!
It gives me great joy being able to cook up something I love. I always vary the dish slightly each time. Moving towards perfection. It makes me feel more like an artist than following a process.
@VagabondAwake Absolutely, my wife and I are always looking for ways to create new interest in what we cook. It's a bit like jazz music, the music is first played as it was written and then the musicians improvise off the original. We even mix Italian and Chinese dishes and ingredients to make "Chitalian" fusion dishes! This improvisation approach is consistent with your approach to travel and trying new things, so I'm not surprised you cook this way. Chiang is very lucky! Happy trails!
Thank you Dan, awesome discussion re: traveler's emotional rollercoaster! Very helpful. I can relate, for sure. I really appreciate the 'how to..' light you shine on the travelers' path for us all to keep learning and understanding.
I enjoyed this video immensely because everything you shared regarding your transition abroad was very relatable, and it resonated with my own experience overseas that made me feel a bit nostalgic. From your story regarding your quest in finding that favorite pasta dish in the new world to adapting to your new world's way of life in order to find happiness is so similar to my own that it felt as if you were telling my story. I absolutely agree that letting go of the old ways is crucial in one's assimilation to the new world. I just wish I had come across these valuable advice that you've touch on here sooner, because I struggled greatly during my own transition. But that's a long time ago. I have been an expat for over 40 years now and came to terms with the ways things are. I even became a naturalized citizen in my new country for several decades now. Although our stories are very similar, they are also different because unlike you I'm a foreigner living in the US, my new home.
When I was in Mexico in the winter of 2018, I rented a 2 bedroom apartment with cooking facilities and mostly cooked at home. My skills are good in that regard, so I saved myself a good amount of money by avoiding restaurants. I would eat out at a restaurant maybe once a week max - mostly less expensive places and also street food stalls. That worked just fine for the 3 months I was there. I didn't miss much of anything from Canada. And the prices for wine, beer and tequila were a lot cheaper than what you pay in Canada.
That’s so true! I would buy your recipes book. Because I travel in many of the same places. It’s always good to make your food out of what you can find locally. As a long term traveler, I really value my local connections. They often become family.
Thanks. Fatigue can make you miserable too. Rest. If you get homesick it’s good to just visit your roots occasionally to confirm why you left in the first place and realise you’ve done the right thing. 🙂
I love the way you tell your pasta story, it was a surreal tale. a foreigner's insanity. frantically detached from reality and paranoid. I'm glad you awakened. cheers
Great vid! I had to look up Pasta Olio and learned it’s one of my favorite dishes from my Japanese market. (A story for another day.) now I have a new recipe to perfect. Thank You.😃
I spent the better part of the last 2 years doing my exploratory travel through South and Southeast Asia - 8 countries between India and the Philippines. As I realised that I wasn't going to retire in the oppressive heat and humidity, I started to focus more of the various tastes of the different areas. I wouldn't need to cook if I lived there as I could eat out for every meal. But I have to know how to cook Indian, Thai, Malay, etc dishes myself if I want them and I'm living in Latin America. I hit up Domino's, McDonalds, and Burger King when I got the craving for something familiar. It wasn't too often though, as I was able to find something like a French bakery owned by a French expat in Siem Reap, Cambodia or an artisinal Italian restaurant in Yogyakarta, Indonesia for phenominal baguettes and pizzas respectively. The comfort dishes are always many times more expensive than a good local meal, so I usually had a local dish like Khao Soi in Chiang Mai, Laksa in KL, and Bakso in Bali. The recipes for the various dishes are available online, but I needed to learn if a certain dish was worth cooking and to familiarize the taste of the dish, so that I know I made it correctly. So I totally agree with you on trying to recreate what's comfortable is expensive and not necessarily worth it. It's better to explore what's local and see if there are new comfort dishes waiting to be discovered like Filipino bulalo or Indonesian sop buntut.
Lucky Me! I always cook from scratch and, for the foods I really like, I'm the best cook I know. My biggest fear of moving to East Asia in the next couple of years is not being able to find the spices I'll need. Great video!
You will find most western spices in the larger cities of SE Asia. So you can just take a train or bus once or twice a year and restock. :-) Or shoppe or Lazada deliver right to your door. :-)
There are some experiences you will only find in your home country and nothing will take its place. I love traveling to Asia but most places I can’t find to show NFL live because most places are closed so I will watch on the internet in my room but it isn’t the same. I have no interest in soccer so nothing will replace that experience for me. Some places will open early only for the superbowl so it is like they are throwing you a bone which makes it hard to even enjoy that.
I like the two Sicilian dishes of Pasta con le Sarde and Pasta alla Norma. I was in Sicily this year and it was such an amazing experience. I loved Sicily! When are you going to Sicily and southern Italy in general?
We will be doing the Eastern European tour starting in April or so 2024, and we will try to sneak over to Italy at that time. I also love Italy. Part of my reasons for living in cheap places 9 months of the year is so I can save up enough to visit expensive places. Italy is on that list for sure. I have been to Rome, Venice, Piza, Florence, but want to see more of Italy.

Life provides opportunities to let go of what we attach ourselves to. Traveling brings many of them. Take advantage of that and work on letting go. Baby steps. Try here and there. Each liberation makes the next come with more ease. Otherwise could either go home or don't leave in the first place.
People don't understand when I go overseas and I go to McDonalds all the time, nor do people understand why I say it is a real benefit for me to associate McDonalds with home food. It is so easy to find McDonalds somewhere and they regulate the taste of their main dishes.
You are so addicted to processed garbage American food, you call it regulation. It is called MSG and artificial flavors made by company called International Fragrances
I understand your point in this video. But I really wish they had a place or two here in Pattaya that had Chicago style food or a good Mexican restaurant. But I’ve lost a few pounds here. Drinking less soda. Almost no alcohol. So you gotta take the good with the bad. But I’d kill for a breaded steak sandwich from Ricibenes or some tacos from Zacatecos in Chicago.
Luckily I found out I was leaving only about 60 days before it happened. The anticipation of 300days would have been tough to get through. Hang in there.
Thanks for this one Dan. I follow a strict carnivore diet for good health. I also practice omad for good health. I’m visiting the Philippines in February and I actually thought about taking this ridiculous way of eating on my short trip to the Philippines.lol. But I realize I wanna enjoy good local food. So I made some local friends and they are going to be cooking for me and taking me to the best local spots to eat and drink. Screw carnivore and omad for 10 days. Lol.
A strict carnivore diet results in good health? 😂 I don't think so pal. I eat some meat, but not a lot. Mostly plants is what people should be eating. And my health is probably better than those who eat a lot of meat.
"Spiritual Retreat" at the Italian restaurant!! LOL. Didn't learn a thing!!! Dan, the "only" Thai food place is in Flagstaff AZ where the family cooks and only lets you have the "5 spicy" if you prove yourself worthy!! I am now the best cook I know: I eat the hottest peppers on the planet. If I get back to Flagstaff? I will take some to the family. Best my friend.
DAN, I ENJOYED YOUR VIDEO ! HOW CAN I GET YOUR PASTA RECIPE ? OUR FAVORITE NEIGHBORHOOD ITALIAN RESTAURANT IN QUEZON CITY SHUT DOWN DUE TO THE COVID LOCKDOWN !
Without a open mind and a love of history and exploration, for me it would be hard to even think about living abroad. I think you’d just never be happy.
Real scientists are still waiting for those non existing stufies to show up. Oh wait Harvard has had a study in November 2021 showing the very opposite on 2200 participants. Meat is not a problem, it's all the rest that accompanies that is the culprit. Learn how to read scientific papers, stop listening to those paid bias talking heads. Think on you own. Life is great.
Hey buddy, do you have time to answer a question for me. Ok my brother went on a trip to the Philippines, he read he had to take a COVID test to gain entry, he said no one asked to see his negative test, So this led me to believe he may have read some old info. Can you confirm or deny, do I need to take a COVID test before I get on my plane ? Thank you
I don't think any countries are looking for negative tests on arrival anymore. But you can call and ask the airline that you are flying with. They will know.
Ok Vagabond you win for having the gf with the best lean , and lanky, model type body. No wonder she is in all your videos. She is your muse and the reason for your channel's 120k. Give us a course on how to get a woman with her kind of body,will you ? Happy Holidays.😄
