  • We bought a sea view home in the beautiful country of Montenegro in Tivat for $150,000 euro. Follow along as we showcase the before and after remodel in the hot Montenegro real estate market where bargains can still be found. Previously we owned a home in the heart of old town Kotor Montenegro, but we decided to make a change and purchased a new home on Kotor Bay opposite the city of Tivat. With Tivat just a 10-minute drive away and Kotor a 14-minute drive with traffic, the new home offers convenience and stunning views. Beach access is just a four-minute walk from their doorstep.
    The house boasts a breathtaking view of the bay of Kotor and offers 80SqM of living space, not including the 15 SqM terrace area. Join us as we share the renovation journey and showcase the our new Montenegro home.
    Don't miss out on this incredible transformation from old town Kotor to bay views. Subscribe now to see more of their adventures in Montenegro! We bought a home near Tivat on Kotor Bay Montenegro. We slow travel the world, often called roaming retirement or roving retirement. We retired early and use Montenegro as our non-Schengen home base. Montenegro is an attractive and affordable alternative to the high prices in the US. If you own a home in Montenegro life can be very comfortable for the average American.

    Do you want to live abroad as an Expat? Are you looking for affordable and viable options? We are exploring the world to see what it's like to live in a country, and also discover if Residency is an option.
    We began our retirement in March of 2020 with the intent to travel the world, spending 1-3 months in a country or location. We want to see what it's like to live there and not simply visit, and we want to share these experiences and the costs with whoever wishes to follow along.

    • @WarrenJulieTravel
      @WarrenJulieTravel  Рік тому +1

      We actually talk about this quite a bit in our other Montenegro videos, so perhaps we didn’t touch too much on this here. We stay less than 90 days every 180 days in Montenegro. We have a home there as our home base outside of the Schengen. We plan to change our strategy starting March of 2024 and do Montenegro 90 days in and then 90 days out Vs the 90 days in Schengen and 90 days out. We enjoy our friends and community in Montenegro so we will treat it more as a home vs home base.

    Hi, can you give me any guidance about entering/exiting Montenegro with a dog? Thinking of using it as part of our Schengen shuffle - driving in via Croatia and out via ferry to Italy. We have an EU pet passport...but I know there is a Titer test that needs to be done too, and different websites have different info. Any info would be really appreciated. @WarrenJulieTravel

    • @WarrenJulieTravel
      @WarrenJulieTravel  Рік тому +1

      If you have an EU pet passport, you are able to enter Montenegro without any concerns. Your problem lies with returning to Schengen. You should get your rabies titer done before leaving Schengen if possible. If time does not permit, you will need to get that accomplished in Montenegro or wherever you go to. It will take 90 days, so if you’re able to start it and get the results emailed, you can have a vet update your record with the results in Montenegro or Serbia or ever you may be.
