What kinds of risks are you taking if you move overseas?
vagabondbuddha.com/our-liability-disclaimer-the-risk-is-on-you/
You guys have done it once again! I can't take the hot, muggy tropics so have been eyeing cooler locations. My first 2 week trip to Baguio was last month, Dec 2023, and I miss it. Was thinking of going back for a 2nd, longer visit. But maybe Antigua... I'll look more into it.
Thanks!
Thank you Alex. You will love it!
I spent a month in Queretaro but decided to live in San Miguel de Allende which is an hour drive. Same weather but SMA is a walkable city while you really need a car in QRO unless you live in Centro. Spent four months in Boguete but for me it was too small and the weather was not as nice as SMA. just discovered your channel and you do an amazing job.
@NomadicRVLiving. we are not going there on this visit but we already have a video tour of it on our country playlist. Just pick the playlist of your choice here and scroll down the list until you find it. W love both places. Look for the Mexico Retire Cheap PLaylist here:
ua-cam.com/users/VagabondAwakeplaylists
Thanks for asking!
Dan
You two are a great couple. Happy travels.
Thanks so much!
Beaches are so overrated. Give me the Mountains and/or big cities outside the USA.
It is a big world and there is a place for everyone!
Your lady has a very thick accent. Which is fine. She is very smart and insightful. Would it be possible she can try and speak just a bit slower so us old, half deaf Americans don't have to keep hitting the 10 second rewind all the time? I would really appreciate it. This is in no way a slam or anything like that. Just having difficulty understanding her. Thanks, and have an even better '24 than you did in '23.
Thank you for your constructive criticism @goatman3828. That is how we get better. And thanks for commenting, Best, Dan
When I struggle with audio I turn on closed captions. 🙂
@@CassieDavis613 I'm an old fart. Could you explain how to do that (android)? And remember, I'm an old fart.
Happy New Years ❤Attitude of gratitude for who you are and all you share ❤
Thanks Johnny!
I would love a video like this but with places that don't tax U.S. pensions. By the way love your content.
Most of your choices for more comfortable locations are the ones I've researched from here in Canada. As retirement locations for older folks my main concern is walkability (not into hiking!) with slippery cobblestone sidewalks and streets.Definitely without skyscrapers and crowding like Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong or New York City! Certain countries could be problematic, like Mexico or even Ecuador. Maybe even oxygen levels.
What do you think about Uruguay??
I haven't been to Uruguay yet
@@VagabondAwake What's your take on my other points?
Hi You said the ice princess was kept frozen and it was kind of "cool". LOL
Double entendre. lol.
Chapters would have been great
Great idea. I have to look into that. Have you seen the webpage with titles and links to full videos of each and reports: vagabondbuddha.com/cooler-weather-places-to-retire-early-cheap-overseas/
How's the weather in Siem Reap by comparison?
Google vagabond buddha siem reap
@@VagabondAwake Looks like the humidity in Siem Reap. isn't bad except in July and August. Around 55%, not bad. Then there is Da Lat. Not bad.
If I'm not mistaken, Siem Reap and Cuenca have something in common - both have laws preventing highrises from being built. Sounds great. Based on my armchair research, Queretaro was a good choice, followed by Guadalajara. Unfortunately Mexico is being progressively taken over by the cancer of the cartels, they own army, police, officials, etc. spreading out throughout the country, so I felt I had to write Mexico off my list. 😞
First Comment!
Thanks!
Ubud is nice, but it's so loaded with expats and the locals are getting crowded out, losing their Balinese identity. Cheap, easy travel ruins destinations.
The locals are the greatest thing about Ubud.
That is the downside of youtube channels like this one. That's why you should go and find your own place to live and NOT post about it on the interwebs! Use this channel as a guide only.
Great vid! I'm a cool weather guy, so this was great! New additions to my bucket list are Pai and Otavalo. You two are great!
I live in the Arizona desert so i tend to enjoy the cooler climates. I would like to love Medellin but felt very unsafe there having to always be on alert. I like Chiang Mai.
The only person whose opinion matters is yours. That is why the exploratory visits are so important. You have had your feet on the ground in both places. That is an informed decision. :-)
The fact that you have been the these places is why I bought the life time membership.
It makes a big difference when you start comparing places. Thanks for joining us! :-)
Is it worth it or not cuz I can find almost every place report on his UA-cam channel for free.
@@Jack_the_rider What I like is the ability to read any report as opposed to searching through the vidoes to find the information I am wanting.
I’ve worked with Karen (car-wrenn) Hilltribe coffee farmers in the mountains of northern Thailand. Elevations are between 700-1000 meters. It’s always cool in the mornings and comfortable throughout the day. I always need a 4-wheel drive truck to navigate the dirt roads. I either don’t go during the rainy season or I need to hire someone with shovels to ride in the truck bed to dig me out the mud.
Great story!
Dan! what's your new top 3 places to live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@@VagabondAwake
Great video! I'm from western Canada so definitely not used to extreme heat. These places look look like great options.
Glad you like them! Make sure to click the first link above in the comments and watch a few videos of us showing you each of these places. :-)
Oaxaca is famous for Mole
Thank you, Dan and Qiang for this informative video. How about making a video for us expats about avoiding getting ripped off by locals in these various destinations? That'd be awesome.
Great suggestion! A quick thought on this. A typical ripoff overseas in paradise is paying 20-30% more for a vegetable than locals do. A ripoff in my home country is starts at around $100 on up. lol.
Suggestion... when mentioning those places, it would be helpful to list the names on the screen.
6:15 Mae Hong Son, Thailand is a cool and beautiful town. It's not far from Pai. My sons and I took a rafting trip from Pai Mae to Mae Hong Son and we caught a bus back.
Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai weather is pleasant almost all year. Those hotter weeks we spent in Pai and Mae Hong Son.
In none of those places, did we use an air conditioner, only fans. We spent 11 months there. October was spent out of country. 3:40
Great video Dan. It does appear that you are feeding your girlfriend well, she looks like she is putting on a little meat on those bones. You are a lucky guy!
I live in southern Arizona but it's at 5300 feet above sea level. It's a town called Bisbee, I don't know if it's as affordable as overseas but compared to Arizona it's very affordable for what you get.
I'm in Austin, TX, but have family in AZ and went to college/high school in Tucson. Sierra Vista also is about 5k near the mountains in SE Arizona as one possibility if I can afford to stay in USA. Have you been there also? How does Bisbee compare to SV?
Great overview, sometimes you need a break from the heat in SE Asia!
Whatever one's opinion of Medellín is, not sure with the prevailing El Niño conditions for most of the last year that it still qualifies as a "cooler weather" option - many days in the mid-80's over the course of the past year, and with the proximity to the equator it feels even hotter. Some of us now jokingly refer to it as the "City of Eternal Summer" as a goof on its popular "City of Eternal Spring" rep...
Thanks for sharing your experience in Medellin.
LIDl store in Atlanta too.
$1 fresh pastries
Great. I thought it was just European thing. But what would l know, I left the USA in 20027. :-)
Hi you two😍
Loved this video!!! We are cool, cooler, weather people and I trust your choices to be good. Thanks and happy travels😉
Another great topic, another reason why I’m a life member!
Thank you guys
Awesome! Thank you!
Best place to retire is Brazil.
PAI in Northern Thailand would be a problem during burning season February through May
Yes, I fly south to the islands during burn season. It seems like it was only 2-3 months not 4 though.
My favorite traveling couple. Always love these videos. Thank you.
I sure was hoping for more details about Tagaytay - specifically - but Dan didn't seem too impressed with it and was quick to move on. --- Very curious if it is "enough" - '''cooler''' - than sea level to be - "comfortable" - and not sweating a lot ? -- Being not as cool as Baguio doesn't tell us much (?) really ? --- I don't need or want 'cold' - comfortable enough not to feel the need for a lot of showers !!! -- -- -- Is (?) or can Tagaytay (?) - be - ''that place'' ? > Anybody ?
Click the tagaytay report link on the first link below for more weather info.
Thanks guys! Everyone reviews hot beach areas and there are a lot of us who aren't fans of the beach or the heat.
Kind of you to make a video just for me, thanks! 😃
Happy to help! :-)
Ecuador and Colombia are very dangerous currently. I wouldn't risk it.
Hi @VENEMPASTOR, When you show up in a new town anywhere in the world, even the USA or Europe, you are at a disadvantage. I have a report that explains how I stay safe when I arrive in a place I am not familiar with yet. Here is a link to that report: vagabondbuddha.com/how-to-travel-the-world-safely/
Thanks for watching and commenting. It helps our business grow. Dan
For those that don't speak every language, it Would be very helpful if you could put on screen print,at least the names of places, since language, even both of yours, can seriously change the interpretation of where you are talking about, especially since they're all spelled in different languages.please ! Even the CC, doesn't spell them correctly. It's really not that hard to do, IF YOU WANT CARE. Otherwise, it's too frustrating to listen when I can't follow along with wherever it is you're talking about. Thanks anyway
Thanks for the ideas.
This is such a wealth of information, and it's just the tip of the iceberg. I also didn't blink to get the lifetime membership. 👍💪🏝✈️🌞
Hello @livingworkingoutsidebox, thank you for your personal note of encouragement. It really does make a difference for us when we know people appreciate what we are doing. Thank you, Dan
The country's name in an upper corner would you be a good sign post to keep us from getting lost. Lol. The city's name would be nice, too.
Thank you for your constructive criticism @FloydHamel. That is how we get better. And thanks for commenting, Best, Dan
Well done Baguio is at top of my list but Portugal is next
Two great choices.
Although I have followed you from the beginning, I too have fallen in love with her contagious smile. ❤
She is a charmer for sure.
Thanks for all the great info! Subscribed to both channels, lifetime membership, and learning a lot. Looking forward to slow travel in 18 months when I retire.
Congratulations. Soon to begin your second life. If you are like ne, it will be better than the first. I think of it as when my ME time started.
Thank you
I think it would be nice if you could list the name of each location on the screen when you talk about the place. For those of us who've never been to these places then we may not know how to spell their names 😊😊😊
Turn on CC...Closed Captions might help
Great suggestion. Thank you ... also ... They are in the same order as in the video on this page:
vagabondbuddha.com/cooler-weather-places-to-retire-early-cheap-overseas/
In Otavalo they have the biggest outdoor market in South America on weekends.
Here is our video of Otavalo: ua-cam.com/video/vkZNi2GNQiU/v-deo.html
The real question is how does Q eat so much and stay slender? Lots of us want to know! 😊
I have tried to convince her to make a course called the super model diet but she doesn't seem interested.
Would you still recommend going to Medellin? I've heard a lot of horror stories the last month or 2 of guys getting robbed, drugged or kidnapped
Hi @johnclark8637, When you show up in a new town anywhere in the world, even the USA or Europe, you are at a disadvantage.

Also, ... you can always read what the US State Department says about each place before deciding to go.
Dan and Quian, Is there a burning season there in Ubud like they do in other places with rice paddies? How is the situation with trash in SE Asia? Is a pet peeve of mine to see trash strewn about, but I know that in Central Amer, it is a lack of infrastructure for that.
I don't want to sound fatal but travel outside of Europe, UK, USA, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia will not be a happy place for you if trash here and there ruins your day. Even in the USA when I drive around I see trash strewn about these days. You may find that bothers you less once you have been around it more than a year or two. And if I dare say, the over all feeling of living outside many western countries makes putting up with a little trash here and there a no brainer. One of the reasons I suggest exploratory visits before making any permanent decisions is to find out if living overseas feels right for you. Some people are just happier inside their home country for various reasons. That said, some, like me even, were very uncomfortable for the first 6 to 9 months but eventually if you stay at it you love it more than your home country. Much, much, more for me at least.
Nagano and Hokkaido. JAPAN, Baguio and Malaybalay Phillipines, Loei, Thailand Dalat Vietnam will have 5 or 6 houses in these location can also go to Seattle and upstate New York in summer.
Thanks!
It would be helpful if you showed a map while talking about these places
Great idea. Thanks. :-)
How about the Cameron Highlands? Is that a good place to retire, or is it too remote?
Kind of small. But if you like small rural ... it is amazing. Plus, it is a great place to get out of the heat for a few weeks if you need a break.
Queretaro is correct spelling? Oaxaca ?
Queretaro is 1.4 million population?
That is right. Here is the list of all cities and our videos and reports on each: vagabondbuddha.com/cooler-weather-places-to-retire-early-cheap-overseas/
Isn’t the air quality in Pai terrible in the winter due to field burnings?
100 % all of Northern Thailand between February-May you cannot breathe it extremely bad for your health .
I fly south to the islands of Thailand during burn season. My experience in N. Thailand is that different parts of it have different burn seasons based upon elevation and crops. Most areas of don't burn for a few months. So you just ask locals when burn season starts in that city and when it ends and you fly south for those 2-3 months.
Amazing! Thank you so much!
You are welcome.
You both are really enjoying the life journey and inspiring others to do the same. Thank you !!
What about medellin the city of eternal spring
It is on the list. Take a listen and see what you think of the others?
Good to know about Baguio, been thinking about that city.
What happened to Costa Rica?
Too expensive. And expats are upset about the increasing crime rates.
@@VagabondAwake I met a Costa Rican woman at my USA nail salon 6 years ago, and she told me then to forget about retiring there d/t crime. She said she would never return.
Wonderful, I love catching your videos
There ain’t no B-Roll. In 4K! 😢
Hello @bradbeckett, Every place we discuss in this video has B roll. Click the first link in the notes below the video and you will find a video associated with each place on that web page. All of our videos have a webpage that has the information discussed in that video so you don't have to take notes. The link to that web page for this video is the first link in the description below this video.
In case you don't know how to find the link, here is a UA-cam video teaching how:
ua-cam.com/video/p4bP4xd7J4s/v-deo.html
Most of our videos have multiple links to important information that will help you save time and money. It is our way of thanking you for watching our videos.
So, ... thank you, Dan
What about family destinations? Places where you can safely and cheaply educate, raise your kids and provide them with great experiences.
We don't cover that topic here. So sorry.
I appreciate Dan and Q very much; because, I believe them! I will be an expat in 2025. Invaluable information for me.
Thank you John.
Can you do a video about how much stuff you guys travel with such as luggage in order to stay semi nomadic?
@user-bz5io6ph8w, Dan here. I have been traveling the world since 2007. Here is my packing list of light weight and heavy weight.
vagabondbuddha.com/what-i-pack-to-travel-the-world/
Thanks for asking,
Dan
Any where in Northern Thailand between February- May you cannot breathe it’s extremely bad for your health !
You are talking about burn season when they burn the crops after harvest instead of till the soil. The elevation and kind of crop determines when harvest occurs. In most parts of N. Thailand it lasts around 2 months from my experience. I just fly south to the islands during that time. Depending on where you live in N. Thailand, you can just ask the locals and they will tell you in advance so you can book in advance.
I’m watching your cooler weather places to retire to and you guys work so good together it’s a pleasure to watch y’all. That’s what y’all got going for you I see you’re happiness. All I can say is thank you for the info.
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks, guys.
Recently returned from visiting Boquete. Constant wind makes it hard to stay hydrated. And the Bajareque wind has to be experienced to understand. On a Bajareque wind day I was rained on from the right, then behind, and finally from the left in 100 feet walking distance. The Pipeline Trail is the one with the 1000 year old tree. There is a local hiking group with a Facebook page. Typical Latin American sidewalks, so not for those who have difficulty walking. While I didn't see any bugs while in Boquete, I was recently refused a blood donation due to Boquete being an at risk area for malaria. No blood donation allowed for 90 days.
Yes, Boquete has amazing micro climates. Most of the retire cheap countries have areas with Malaria and Dengue. But 17 years of world travel and I still haven't had either one. Here is my video about that: ua-cam.com/video/CWXAAexSxsI/v-deo.html
I enjoyed this video a lot. Thanks for posting! It launched me into a deep dive on Boquete, Panama. So much so, that I am going to take a trip down there next month for a couple weeks and check things out.
Glad it was helpful!
As a general rule of thumb, there is about 1 degree Fahrenheit change for every thousand feet up or down, eg., 5000 ft level is 5 degrees cooler than sea level.
It is actually 3.5 degrees per 1000 feet of elevation
One of my favorite videos from you, and thanks for the links. So much valuable info.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just want you to know that your very informative videos have inspired us to retire early and moved to Da Nang, Vietnam from Ohio, USA for about one year now. Please let us know if we may take you both out for a coffee when you are in Da Nang, Vietnam. Thanks 🙏
We would love it. But we left about a week ago. Maybe next time.
Great video. My wife likes cool weather but it doesn't get too hot for me. Qiang looks exceptionally pretty today.
Thanks for watching!
I have been to two of your cities pai and Medellin. Pai was nice but it was rainy dirty and muddy which made outdoor activities a no go. Medellin was nice but I prefer the north coast. Growing up in midwestern USA I learned to hate cooler weather which makes me think winter is coming on which I hate. So i will take warmer weather. Also Medellin is a far drive from the north coast as land travel in Colombia is not the best and time consuming.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
It is an amazing video, I wish I could visit all these cities. So far, I only lived in one of these cities and that is Ubud.
Glad you enjoyed it!
COOL!
Of your 3 favorites, are all walkable ?
Yes. I am all about walkability. :-)
HELLO YOU GUYS! I FINALLY' GOT HERE! I LOVE IT!❤❤❤
How cool. Congratulations!
👍💛
Good info as always
Glad you enjoyed it
Dan, your American accent is great, but Qiang's accent is priceless. I could listen to her all day. 💛 You're a lucky boy!
She is great for sure.
Thank you @gregsLyrics, Thank you for watching and commenting. I have interviewed Qiang and she has her own UA-cam Channel. Make sure to watch her video about how we met and subscribe to her channel.

I was also in Dalat! Loved it so much…. But being in a communist country, how feasible is it to retire there?
They have no retirment visa in Vietnam. So you have to get clever. Some westerners living in Vietnam are willing to do visa runs every 30 days they love it so much. They now have a 90 days visa so we will see if they let people use that for visa runs. Other people marry a local, get business visas, teach English, or get student visas. Like most of SE Asia, you just talk to locals on the ground when you arrive and learn the various ideas people use to stay once they fall in love with the place. The truth is, if I feature of of the ideas that people use to stay here, then everyone starts using that idea and it gets shut down. So if you are serious, and love it here, then you will be able to find away without talking about it too much. Odd sounding I know, but SE Asia is different from the West.
Thanks for the info… I will also visit your places in the Philippines and Mexico for sure… and probably Ubud.
I have been to the mentioned cities in Peru and it is too cold..and Guatemala but did not feel safe in Atitlan, and way too much traffic in Antigua…. Pai also but still too hot for me.
@@VagabondAwake
great review thank you
Glad it was helpful!
In the intro it mentioned Malaysia, but then didn't talk about any place there.
Oops, we meant t talk about Cameron Highland in Malaysia. Sorry.
That would be interesting. Seems like just a tourist place and the towns maybe not so nice to live in. But could be options. @@VagabondAwake
Altitude and climate of Antigua, Guatemala is the same as Lake Atitlan.
OMG, you are right. I had Googled them before this video and I must have got the wrong Antigua. They are both about 1500 meters or 5100 feet. Thank you! Dan
Yeah, you probably got the island of Antigua in the Caribbean. ;) I had the pleasure of living in Antigua, Guatemala for 7 years. 1985-1990 when my wife and I were 2 of only 7 expats in the entire area and then again in 98 and 99. Lots of fond memories and lifetime friends.@@VagabondAwake
I love Bali. The first time I was there was 2012 on the New Years at midnight and fireworks was going off at Seminyak and Kuta beach. So it was a welcoming view.
thank you for great content
Thank you!
