I traveled full-time for years until the pandemic. Since we were grounded, I started my own business that generates $2K a month and supplements my Social Security and pension benefits ($2500). Rather than travel full-time or relocate abroad, I keep my rental apartment in the US as a low-cost home base and temporarily close my business to travel 4-6 months a year. This solves the problem of long-term visas, banking, taxes and much more.
The pandemic has made all my plans disappear
I do the same, except I don’t get sS yet.
Love the channel. I would love to see a video about when to travel and where to avoid high costs and bad weather while bouncing around every month. I assume you two pretty much stay warm when you go places, so not being in North Japan in the Winter for example. I keep trying to put the list of when/where together and since I've not been to Asia yet, I'm lacking in understanding. I know going to Europe, most of it is along the same Lattitude as as states like Michigan and Ohio. So if you want to slow travel, you need to do so from between April and October or you will need some colder weather clothing.
We've never met and probably never will, but I feel you are trusted friends when considering overseas travel, even Amtrak. I live in Hawaii and Amtrak sounds exotic to me!
I like your honesty in telling us about your income from UA-cam. Your content and presentation is fantastic and you deserve every bit of reward.
Your case is very similar to mine, I also have faith in them
This is quite uplifting!! I have always said that I would live in more than one place. And you are showing us how to!!!! Thank you both!!
You guys are so honest, & gracious & encouraging....Thank You !
How about a video on countries where u can rent a furnished condo or apartment for $100/month?
Every video you post is so encouraging. My wife and I keep thinking of how me might do this.
Another wonderfully informative and reinforcing video! 🙏🏼
Question 1: Have you looked into or are you considering the new DTV Thailand Visa?
Question 2: In other videos when you've talked about "not being too old to do UA-cam videos" you’ve mentioned that older people make more $$$ for their YT videos. I haven't been able to find info on why that is or even if that is true. Would you consider covering that in more detail in a future video?
PS: When I purchase your UA-cam course it's going to cover the last few remaining dollar spend to get my 185,000 Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant AMEX signup bonus points! I thought it fitting. 🎉
Add another question to this thread, and I might’ve asked this before, but I can’t find the answer, does your UA-cam training class go into good detail for editing? I am not really computer literate and I really struggle with trying to figure that part out.
Usually older folks like me, talk about niches that have a higher CPM/RPM.
Say youtube can charge more per every thousand views for a business or travel channel than a gaming or makeup channel.
If you search : cost per mil rates by niches on UA-cam. You'll be able to see what I mean. 👍
Hope this was helpful.
@@livingworkingoutsidebox Thanks for that. And yes, I completely understand the C/RPM differences and what advertisers are willing to pay for categories like FinTech, Digital Marketing, etc.
Travel usually falls farther down the list...Generally not even in the top 10.
So I have been wondering what they are referring to when they've mentioned "older audience" being a higher C/RPM?
My only guess is that older audiences watch the entire video and don't bop from one to the next?
PS: I'm approaching 58 and starting full-time travel in January so this is all super interesting to me!
Hi, yes, we are waiting, and hopefully we will have more info soon on the visa! We will be looking into it once official. The question about age is covered in great detail in the course! Wow, so great to get the Amex Brilliant, we don't have that yet, it's been at the top of our list for like a year now. Maybe we will pull the trigger soon!
First of all, you two are a great couple and so very pleasant, entertaining, and always highly informative. And it's efficiently delivered, no rambling on on tangents, etc. The way you present this lifestyle seems very appealing and very doable. A $3000 social security plus another $1000 from investments draw, and that would be it. Why just suffer and strain in the U.S., and it's not even that nice.
Do you have a video that show how you organize and keep track of all the places you visit book hotels to keep your self organized
It sounds like the heat doesn't bother either of you, whereas, I'm not a fan. However, for single women what countries would you consider to be more safe? I'm finally retiring next spring, later than planned because of Covid, and promised my son that we would go to the EU and of course France is at the top of the list 🗼But, any other suggestions?
DO YOU HAVE TO GET VACCINATIONS EVERY TIME YOU MOVE TO ANOTHER COUNTRY? WHAT ARE ALL THE REQUIREMENTS EVERY TIME TO MOVE TO A NEW COUNTRY?
Love your videos. ❤
I just received an email from IHG about a new point offer. "Stock up and earn in a major way. This is your exclusive chance! Buy points now through June 29, 2024, and get up to 100% more-just because. We've raised the limit you purchase up to 250,000 points, so don't wait!" Thought I would share. I'm going to take advantage of this sale based on your videos. Do you know if the points expire?
I just purchased 150,000, and got a bonus of 150,000 for a total of 300,000 points!!😊
I clicked through their link but once I signed in, my offer was only for 60% more, not 100%. 😢
Suggestion: Create something where you keep notes on your travels and make it accessible to everyone that watches your channels. Where you stayed (specifically), costs, what you liked and didn't like, what you've done, specific places you would suggest to people, anything else you can think of. It would be very helpful to people.
Love your videos and the information that you're sharing. Thanks to you, SE Asia has now become an area of the world that we're really interested in. We start our full time traveling journey in November, with three months in Portugal. Then, we plan to shuffle out of the Schengen to Cyprus and Turkey. Can you recommend a budget friendly way to get to SE Asia? I've looked at cruises, but only find world cruises that go the wrong way. Any help is appreciated.
Hi Folks...Just wanted to let you know you're doing a great job and service. My wife and I are full-time travelers as you are for nearly 4 years and we've learned much from your channel.
I am looking for the 50% off youtube course offer ;)
Me too! I even clicked and started to buy and abandoned, hoping I would get the, "Wait don't leave yet" offer at some point but it never came! I guess they're not focusing on marketing the course.
Is it sustainable though ? Wondering if you could travel for years or whether at some point you feel you need a settled place ? Also , for older people , going from place to place could be difficult. Good channel , thank you .
What software do you use for editing your videos?
I have a quesstion, in credit card renewal, do they give you another 140k points again? I am interested in doing the same around the world travel and I need to know more and be very familiar on this credit card points hacks.
Do you spend 4k per month plus use points for "free" hotels and flights?
Wow! Congratulations! You surely deserve a lot of success! 🙏🏻🌷
Love your philosophy!
I do lots of hotel reviews! They are definitely some of my more popular videos.
thank you for the video. I been looking for your vlog about health insurance but I cannot find it. Is it possible for you to reply with the link regarding your vlog on health insurance? Thank you!
Forgive me if you’ve addressed this before, but how do taxes work with being US residents yet living abroad? And I assume YT issues a w-2 like any other employer?
UA-cam is not their employer. They are self-employed and would receive a 1099.
How are you able to receive your mail from the US? Do you have your mail going to a post office box? What happens to your mail?
Many people use Americas Mailbox to get their mail. No, Americas Mailbox is not a post office, it's a mail forwarding company. What happens? They will scan it if you wish and you can see (securely) what mail you have. (Disclaimer...I'm a full-time traveler...and the Founder.)
That's true! With residency country needs requirements
Have you been offered sponsorships?
Did u see that IHG is having a flash sale
All this traveling you do …. Where do you keep a permanent address for mail and important docs and legal matters such as taxes.

If you need a Temporary Base. The Philippine Tourist Visa can be renewed for up to THREE Years. One or Two Months at a time. Each time you leave [for over 24 hours] the Three Year Clock resets.
Guys, thoroughly enjoy your videos here and on your travel channel. Your presentation style is so open and warm and each video is very informative. As I watch the videos I always find myself wondering 2 things: 1) since you generally stay for extended periods at each destination, what is your typical daily routine? My guess is you do not spend each day as tourists as that could get old quickly and could get very expensive. But since you don't need to mow the lawn, or don't have a car to wash, or a dog to walk, etc. and you probably don't sit in your hotel room all day and read the paper :), I am just curious what a typical day looks like. And 2), how do you handle health care insurance? I know you've mentioned that you have international health insurance coverage, but wondering how that would work as one's age increases? I'd expect that at 50+, 60+ the increasing cost of health coverage might force some (depending on their budget of course) to reconsider international slow travel. US Medicare does not cover health care outside of the US, correct? Perhaps just the reality of things but am curious if you have any insights. Many thanks for all that you share on the channel.
I really like your videos. You guys inspire me. I have a question, why would you select Thailand for long-term term stay, instead of the Philippines? Maybe you can do a video on this topic. 👍
We were looking to move to Portugal. But never liked the higher tax structures. So when they eliminated the NHR program and the Gringo tax on buying properties were getting out of control, it just became clear slow traveling the world, 🌎 would be the better option. 🤔 😊
Thanks to channels like yours one can see how easy it can be.
Will you be making a mid year update on your travel plans? 🤔
Trying to see what percentages of travel are planned/booked 6+ months out, which are 1-3 months out and how often it's just traveling by the seat of your pants.😊😅
Sorry one more.... Do you feel with your higher statuses you’ll buy fewer points during 11/11 sales? Or doulbe triple your points purchases from last year?🤔👍
I am so enjoying your transparency and sharing of new possibilities I never considered before. These are great options. Do you believe that at one point you both will want to settle in one place and after traveling so much, where do you believe that would be?
Hey there … I love your videos. My husband and I are from the Atlanta area as well ( Tucker). Although we have been traveling more since the kids are grown and gone we plan to do more longer stays at destinations in the near future. Can you please make a video listing the various places you have traveled and the best time (months) to complete that 3-6 months for low budget traveling with a luxury feel
Please go to FIJI.
Makes perfect sense! Oh, wow, business class sounds so great - have never travelled in business. I highly recommend your UA-cam course. Thanks again for everything! 💚
Would you consider doing a video on your business structure that you has several UA-cam channels? Do you break it up or do you have one entity thank you.
I did travel the world from 20 to age 79 on my own dime. Retired at 58 to 61 and again from 61 to 69. Thank you.
so if you had to choose a place for a "permanent headquarters" it would be Thailand?
Love your channels! Want to start one of our own. Would like to talk to you sometime.
Thank you for sharing the details. Very helpful as I enter retirement.
You both are very cool. I hear you. Lol
