How This Couple Travels the World Without Having Jobs
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 чер 2024
- Marcus and Kristin are a couple from Germany who quit their jobs to travel the world with NO PLAN. After running out of money during their two-year sabbatical, they decided they wanted to keep traveling rather than move back to Germany to live a traditional lifestyle. After trying (and failing) to open a Bed & Breakfast in Southern Italy, they tried renting out short-term furnished apartments.
Today, they have a portfolio of 5 Airbnb properties in Europe and Bali that generate more than enough income for them to continue traveling the world while building their business.
Do you want to escape the rat race and find the ultimate side hustle? If you're curious about the digital nomad lifestyle and you like to learn how other people make money online and travel, this video is for you!

Surprising. What hits home is how Couples seem to have an Aura around them resulting in group-thinking toward a successful lifestyle model. Its the Argument for pairing up as a digital nomad versus remaining single. Thanks for the video, I could not take my eyes or ears off the screen.
Thank you, Grant! So glad you enjoyed the conversation. They are definitely an inspiring couple!
Super interesting and cool couple! Thank you, Kristin :)
My pleasure, Laura! They are a fascinating and admirable couple, to be sure.
What a great couple. They were so communicative and shared so many good things. Wonderful!
They are wonderful!! I’m such a fan 😍
Charming couple and interviewer.
I loved meeting you guys! So inspiring!
Thanks for the kind words @aianalight. Let's keep inspiring each other! 🌟😊
Hi Kristin..it's so nice to hear from people around the world who're digital nomads and doing different things to sustain their lifestyle. This German couple surprised me by saying India being the first in their list of countries to be visited.! I'm surprised not because India is bad, but this couple made it as their first choice.! People find India so interesting and one among many countries in their list. But for this couple, India is their first choice. ! This made me surprised! India of course has many downsides, but despite this it's many things that outweigh the negativities.! And kerala is my birthplace.! It's of course so beautiful and considered as 'God's own country'! India is of course popular for spiritual retreats and spirituality, Yoga etc.
Hi Jay, so glad that you enjoy this interview-style of video! I was also surprised that they said India, although many people have told me they love it there. I definitely have to go someday! It's so big with so much to see 😊
I’m rather well travelled: Africa, Europe Latin America and I love India I visited every year from 2013 up to 2019 (Covid).the ,most fascinating country. I’ve yet to visit JAPAN
Thanks... nice and interesting video . lovely German couple, their English is perfect and understandable as their second language.
You must be American. It’s standard in Europe apart of course from us Brits.

Do they have a website or a channel ?, thank you , Kristin . ❤
I'm not sure but I will ask them to post it here in the comments, if they have social media.
@@TravelingwithKristin Thank you ! they seem to be on to something - you asked the right questions. Kristin , but the interview opened up a lot more questions- so - they don’t own any of the apartments or houses that they rent on air bnb ? they are able to make a profit, even though they themselves are renting those places ?
That's correct! They rent long-term at low rates (unfurnished) and then furnish and re-rent them short-term at a premium@@gailalbers1430 - I found their website here: amberlair.com/
This couple seems so united they really seem to stick together. Very rare situation it seems to me like my pass partners, are always working against me.
It's lovely to see strong bonds. Wishing you the best in finding your own supportive partnership! 🌟
@TravelingwithKristin Thank you wishes back at you, may you accomplish what it is you set out to do. Don't forget about me when you're really famous.
Cool interview!
Glad you enjoyed it Christian Sailor! Thanks for watching! 😊👍
Thank you for the video. 🤗Could you make a video about travel insurance and let us know your opinion about April insurance ?
What an interesting story! It's always great that people find unique ways to sustain a digital nomad lifestyle. It comes to show that there are countless ways of making it work!
Absolutely! It's inspiring to see the creative paths people take. There's definitely no one-size-fits-all approach to this lifestyle. 😊👍
I'm only 20 second into this video and all I can say is, this is amazing!
That's awesome to hear! Hope the rest of the video keeps up the momentum for you! Enjoy watching! 😊👍
Another interesting interview Kristin. So if I understood what they're doing correctly, they themselves have leases on the 5 properties they mentioned, so that they are responsible for them, and then they rent them out on Airbnb? I think that would stress me out because if you don't get enough travelers to rent out the spaces as an Airbnb, then you're still responsible for the rents. Did I understand this correctly? But I'm loving these episodes where you interview nomads and ask them how they support themselves. It's inspiring and it shows that there are many ways to support the lifestyle.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it @davesites!
I did that for 17 months after living through 3 wildfires. Crisscrossing the USA and landing in San Diego
Kristin i love your channel !!! your trip is very much shorter than i would agree to pay and go for. 2 weeks in costa rica is more logic to me for the effort. please consider in the next trips much more time in the destination (: and again you will be very wellcome in Israel !!!! 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂
Thank you so much for your support and feedback @shirabrener! I appreciate your perspective on trip durations, and I'll definitely keep it in mind for future travels. And I would absolutely love to visit Israel someday! Cheers to more adventures! 🌟🌍🥂
@@TravelingwithKristin i can be your host in israel and i have a guests room in my flat! Let me know when you are coming! 🥂
Kristin for some reason from the front angle, you almost look cut out against the others, not sure if it's that you are close to the camera?
Yes the lighting was quite strange in there! Not optimal lighting or sound for filming, but I'm glad we gave it a try
I don’t know if it work with landlords in states
I agree with all of their India recommendations. Been to 90% of the places they mentioned (granted I went 20 years ago but I doubt too much has changed…if anything probably changed for the better).
That's awesome @vagabond_trader! It's great to hear that you had such positive experiences in India. Thanks for sharing! 🌟✨
Ok, so they don’t own the rentals, they just decorate and help renters to find rentals…?
Ahh okay. These two are the renters and then THEY rent out their renters homes.
Question: What would it be like for a senior citizen to live in Mauritius?
I would love to know what kind of budget they live on. If they only have a few properties I would think they are living on a pretty low income.
Good video but they didnt say with how much money they started with, where and how to Invest. You dont just buy a house somewhere on the world do you? + Buying a house in bali is strictly prohibited unless you are a citizen there so im curious how they did that
They are renting apartments from a landlord, decorating and then renting them on Airbnb. I'm guessing the cash flow from Airbnb is greater than their rent, hence their income. I was wondering the same thing - if they quit their jobs and were broke after there first round of travel, how did they get the capital?
How did they finance the Airbnbs? With what cash? You need 200K to 400K to buy 2 Airbnbs
They didn’t buy them - they rent them long-term and then sublet them as short-term rentals with permission from the owners 😊
@@TravelingwithKristin I doubt the profit margins will produce enough cash flow to finance their travel. Also you do not reap the benefits of owning the property
To much noise in the background. But the content is good. Please film in more quiet areas next time. Beacuse you have good content. It's sad that it's hard to listen, just because of surrounding noise.😢
Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate you letting me know! 😊👍
But could you rent a property and rent it again as an Airbnb?
It would depend on the location and the landlord. Just make sure to check local laws and regulations to ensure you're operating within the guidelines. 🏡🌟
Yes. A hotel in Coconut Grove, FL does this. The lower floors are a hotel the upper floors are condos. People buy the condos and rent them out as Airbnb. It used to be called Sonesta
Much as this is interesting and it is: everyone is different and they must find “their own way” to live. There is no living by number or formula to do what others are doing.if you’re really following your path it will be inimitable. Just saying
Indeed! Each person's journey is unique, and finding your own path is key. It's all about embracing what works best for you and crafting your own extraordinary adventure. 😊🌟
do they have instagram or something?
Good question! I will email to ask
Found it! amberlair.com/
I went backpacking in Europe for 2 months and at one point I just wanted to go back home. It was exhausting LOL I like my friends too much to stay away from them that long but I love that you guys make these videos so that I get to see the world with you from my living room. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! It’s normal to get homesick at times 😊 Hope you can find a good balance between being at home and having some travel adventures 💫
Well, 6years to wait for me for an early retirement and spend traveling the world.
Wishing you all the best for your early retirement journey. 🌍✈️
