I just returned to the States after two months in Antigua (with a trip to Lake Atitlรกn as well) and I can't wait to return in a few months. It really does feel like a place I could live awhile. Lots of great restaurants and very walkable despite the cobblestone streets.
Thanks for all you both do!
I couldn't agree more Sue Krayer. Thanks for commenting. UA-cam grows our channel faster when people comment! So we really appreciate it! Best, Dan
Visiting Lake Atitlan in June a little nervous going solo but decided to just do it.
I loved Antigua when I was there in 2019. Such a quaint town with lots of shops and outside vendors selling their handmade crafts.
We love it!
Antigua is beautiful and very affordable it appears! This was great! Thank you ๐
My pleasure Katrina! ๐ Thanks for watching. :-) Dan
Hey guys so much wonderful information we can all use. Thanks guys. You two are so authentic in these videos it makes me trust what you are saying and want to travel like you have. โค๏ธ๐จ๐ฆโค๏ธ Cheers!!!
Our pleasure!
Wonderful inspiring videos. Thank you for educating us on traveling around the world. I would like to return to Antigua one day and visit all of these places you so, elegantly showed on your videos. Thank you so, much!
Our pleasure Johnny!
So nice to see you being so happy in a new city.
Thank you Mark Eggener! Thanks for watching and commenting. :-) Dan
When I was researching Antigua I was astounded by the number of restaurants listed on Trip advisor and the many cuisines available. Usually you have to go to a much larger city and even then often not have that much variety. If one is looking for a foodie paradise it would be very difficult to find another similar sized walkable city anywhere that's comparable.
I know! A real surprise. :-)
Thanks for the look at that beautiful place.
Thank you too
This was great - this place looks like somewhere I want to visit. Always appreciate your videos!
Hello guys! Thanks for stay with us! You are welcome any time. We love the video and we love the details on how you describe Antigua
Thanks fro taking such great care of us. We loved Antigua!
I am going to Mexico City tomorrow for about a week, then Antigua for about a month. Finally to San Pedro al Laguna. I left San Pedro back to Hawaii March last year because of pandemic. After one and a half years, Now I am coming back.
Great choices. I am excited for you Yuan.
Good stuff. You two are a great team! ๐
I think so too!
Thank you again! I have watched several of your videos. All have been entertaining and full of valuable information.
Glad you like them!
Interesting I plan to visit Antigua the end of the year. Antigua is famous for its price for Spanish school.
Yes! I got my Spanish class in Antigua, 90usd for 20 hours(1-5pm), one by one teaching ๐
Teaching what? English? In my school, I have to pay about 15 dollars per hour for my Spanish class if it is one to one class. Thatโs why I plan to go to Antigua. Less expensive.
@@yuanshuan7099 Spanish class.
I was told that a Spanish school called Cano Spanish school in Antigua is the least expensive one. Only 65 dollars per weeks.
@@yuanshuan7099 It would be nice if you can give us a update when you manage to get the Spanish class deal in Antigua. ๐ Happy & safe travels!
Antigua was one of my favorites too. Thanks for the update and info! Looks like you guys had a good time!
Thank you Kevin Leathers! We loved it! Thanks for watching and commenting. :-) Dan
Watching all your videos!!! Looking to retire in South America!! Good info!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks Dan and Qiang...
You are welcome V Hoy! Thanks for watching. :-) Dan
Thanks for sharing your experience!
I appreciate the contributions from Qiang Hui, a different albeit similar perspective is always nice. ๐ด
not to mention her great smile!
Thank you ๐
Glad you enjoyed it! Qiang is our channel star!
I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed Antigua which is one of my favorite places. I was born in Guatemala City and I currently live in the United States. Every time I go back to Guatemala I make it a point to go to Antigua.. it is absolutely beautiful.
$500 for accommodation with all amenities included is a great price. In our case, most likely it will be the everyday โeating and dining โ that we need to watch out. Can you please give us some hint and how much do both of you spend on an average decent meal? Thanks for your info and we really loved your videos...very educational !
That just published a few days ago here: vagabondbuddha.com/antigua-guatemala-best-restaurants-markets-and-happy-hours/
Thankyou! ENJOY!
Thank you pawspaws101! Your interactions help our channel grow! Have a great day. :-) Dan
Who else doesn't even begin watching before knowing you're going to give a thumbs up? Another great video Dan and ๐iang! Also, nice to hear Qiang in this video, that was my first time hearing her. She's lovely and charming! ๐ ๐ ๐
Love that!
Love this channel
Thank you Ethan Jenkins! Thanks for watching and commenting. :-) Dan
I never even considered visting Guatamala - you have me ready include Antigua and Lake Atitlan in our slow travel itinerary. While I enjoy the beach, I am more inclined towards cities, especially the Colonial cities in Mexico you showcased last month. You guides are fantastic as they give the "meat" that I am looking for when we plan our trips.
Thank you William Garnsey! Let us know how it goes. :-) Thanks for watching and commenting. :-) Dan
We never thought about Guatemala either until we needed a hurricane hole for our sailboat. Isla Mujeres is not a place to keep a boat for the summer! We sailed to Livingston and up to Rio Dulce. We felt like we were in Jurassic Park! Rio Dulce is lovely, but way too hot for me. Antigua is the land of perpetual spring. We love it. And there is no graffiti like San Cristobal de las Casas. We were very put off by that. Also, it was too chilly. Antigua is perfect. Definitely put it in your travel plans!
good to hear, thanks!
Thank you Tony Gutierrez! Your interactions help our channel grow! Have a great day. :-) Dan
for an old geezer, you have a beautiful companion.
Thank you Martin Gindulis! Thanks for watching and commenting. :-) Dan
Another cool weather place where we could live a nice life on $2000/month...love it !
Thanks so much !
Our pleasure!
Well done video! I like the way the 2 of you BOTH shared pertinent information. I've been living out of country for 9 years (Vietnam, Myanmar, Egypt) and I'm now considering an area fir retirement. I've always thought Antigua might be suitable and I thank you for enticing me to dug deeper into this option.
Our pleasure!
Iove your channel
Thank you Jose Colon! Thanks for watching and commenting. :-) Dan
THANK YOU FOR VISIT MY COUNTRY I . M . GLAD THAT YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME GREEDINGS FROM INDIANA
Great info ๐๐
Glad it was helpful!
I really enjoy ya'll videos.
I spent 20 days in Antigua and Loved it. I didn't make it to Pana because I got sick from the exaust on the chicken bus. i stopped midway and caught another bus back to antigua. Next time I'll take a taxi to panajachell and stay there a while. It's been 20 years since I visited there. I think I'll retire in malaysia though so I can find me a runway model too. lol
I hear you. We are often on the chicken bus too but not during the last year when distance from other passengers was an important factor in travel arrangements.
We agree. Much better to live in Antigua. We love it here. Our accommodations arenโt so cheap, but we love it. Lake Atitlan is very beautiful, but the towns arenโt as livable. Thanks for all your great tips on restaurants and shopping!
Thank you for the wise thought Su V. I couldn't have said it better myself. And thanks for taking the time to help our business grow by commenting. When you comment, like, share, or subscribe, UA-cam shows our videos to more people. So it is like you are paying me for my creative energy. So, thank you, :-) Dan
Thanks for this! How did you get from your last place from Guatemala to this place?
We took a private minivan for about $70 USD, Normally we would take the chicken bus or a shared minifan but we haven't been vaccinated yet. Just stop along the main tourist road in Pana in some of the tour sellers to get quotes.
@@VagabondAwake yeah, those chicken buses just make me nervous. LoL! I have been to Guatemala several times and obviously I've had no other choice to ride them without incident but I prefer a driver.
Great review.
Sad that air b&b has gotten so expensive. You figure itโs the same for VRBO?
VRBO was almost always more than airbnb because the average property was larger and required deposits.
I also love Antig...
Me too. Fun place to hang out. :-)
Guatemala ๐ฌ๐น God Bless you guys
Thank you! :-)
Hello again Compadres๐Also Luv that Lake you visited in Guatemala๐ค๐ปPrimo!
Thank you Crypto Sherpa! Thanks for watching and commenting. :-) Dan
I am originally from Guatemala but have lived in the states for most of my life. Now in my mid 40's, we are contemplating moving there to start a new life; what I would call a "working retirement". Would love to hear your thought on the cost of renting a commercial space in Antigua as well. Thanks for the video!
Sorry, we just look at apartment rents. :-)
Guatemalan here, FYI Antigua Guatemala is a tourist city, it can be very crowded and loudโฆ
We love the center, but some people want to be a few blocks out.
Do you have any thoughts on medical situation in Guatemala?
Armand (our Airbnb host) said he would go to Guatemala city for anything serious.
only spent 4 days there, really liked it except walking on narrow sidewalks and cobblestones was tough. dan please put a link on your site for one time donations, not travelling internationally anymore but appreciate you're great work and want to buy you guys dinner every now and then, dave bacon๐
Thanks for watching and commenting for so many years Dave. That is enough to keep us happy. Have a great day. Dan
really enjoy your videos.. i have been to Thailand and Vietnam. i am 70 now good health basically .. but where to find a fair travel medical insurance.. i am in mexico now 6 months ,want to go back to asia . but can i travel with no medical insurance
Here are my thoughts on Medical insurance: vagabondbuddha.com/two-biggest-risks-of-retiring-early-overseas/
What's the best place in your opinion so far from Mexico to Panama? Financially and safety wise? I watch a lot of your videos.
Hi Tess W, I do a report every year on the top 15 places in the entire world to retire cheap in paradise, Here is my most recent report and video on that topic:

Thanks for watching and commenting,
Dan
Iโm thinking about retiring in a Latin American country.what countries have you visited and would like to recommend
How would you put Antigua up against Oaxaca for example?
That is a hard one. We have been discussing that. Maybe we need to do a video! Stay tuned Memphis. :-)
the prices are better then in the 1985 and 2005
Yes. Seemed like a great deal to us too.
๐๐ป๐๐ปโs up!
Thank you Expat N Training! Thanks for watching and commenting. :-) Dan
Hi Dan, how do you arrange health insurance for these locations and what is on average the cost?
Here are my thoughts on health insurance: vagabondbuddha.com/two-biggest-risks-of-retiring-early-overseas/
@@VagabondAwake Yes, now I remember watching this video. When I lived & worked in China incl. Taiwan I kept my emergency health insurance coverage in the US and also paid out of pocket when I needed to go to a hospital or doctor in China (was incredible inexpensive).
Trying to figure out which street your condo was. How far from the cobblestone streets
Here is the gated complex where we stayed: goo.gl/maps/JMfKCkL8RjTt3W2y7
It is all cobblestone streets ... from our complex to the
parque mayor. 10 minute fast walk.
@@VagabondAwake I know approximately where that is.Took my tours to cathedral and monastery and we were brought to a shop near there at end of downtown so guests could use the restrooms and they gave us refreshments
How is the visa situationโฆ.is it easy to retire in Guatemala ?โฆ.retirement visa ? Thx !
Yes, compared to other places. The guest talks about that here: ua-cam.com/video/QBgjWISRH-Y/v-deo.html
Antigua sounds great! However, seeing you both in long sleeves makes me a little concerned about the temperature. Heeha
$998.00 sounds like you were in the retail pricing game.
Hello vgshwk, thanks for the chuckle. :-) Dan
ENJOY
Thank you Barry Minor! Thanks for watching and commenting. :-) Dan
Considering how much you liked Lake Atitlan it says something that you prefer Antigua.
Hello Kenneth Kilpatrick, so true. We love both, but for longer term I would prefer Antigua. More to do there.
Thanks for commenting Kenneth Kilpatrick, it helps grow our channel. Best, Dan
You guys try to visit irtra parks
Maybe next time? We already left. :-) Thank you Bonded Team! Thanks for watching and commenting. :-) Dan
Nice !
GUATEMALA TERRITORIAL corporate tax regime is a big advantage for former USA citizens, and citizens of other countries, together with their tax treaty with Mexico to optimise tax strategies? Citizenship by investment is a path to pursue? Many thanks for the good work!
Thanks for sharing David.
When is a good time to go to Antigua?
If you are just visiting then December through April. :-)
Only one question, did you try the Guinea Pig?:) Or is that in Peru? Sorry that would be 2 questions. Peace.
No, I not that adventure ๐๐๐
I saw the whole grill guinea pig in Colombia.
@@HoboVentures No probs Qiang:) I will stick to steak instead:) Peace.
Hello Eric Everson, thanks for the chuckle. :-) Dan
thanks
You're welcome!
I'm Not Impressed With Your Frugality Anymore!!! LOL!!!
You don't love us anymore Master G? lol. I hope you are well.
@@VagabondAwake Still Following Your Travel Adventures!!!
Hi Dan, I am interested in moving to Guatemala. Do you have any contacts that I can reach you to? Thanks.
I don't give out people's information publicly, but if you email to me I will forward your email to someone that lives there and they can decide if they want to respond. Just grab my free eBook and email me back at the address I send it to you on. vagabondbuddha.com/fire-your-boss-travel-world/ Of course, all of our Guatemala eBooks have where we stayed wile there. vagabondbuddha.com/
What's the best place to retire if you're Chinese
Hey Michael Morris, thanks for the great question. You mean if you only speak Chinese? Thanks for commenting. UA-cam shows our videos to more people when they get more comments. So your comment is like you are giving us a pay raise. So, thank you! Dan
@@VagabondAwake hmmmmmm, for example if your wife was Chinese and you were Canadian, hypothetically!!!

Hello again Compadres๐Tk's for the Feedback? I Luv parts of Mexico, Philippines, and would Luv to Plan a Visit to Cape town South Africa. I recently Watched the Video Expedia Cape town on Y-TUBE, ๐Unbelievable? Red Rick Mountains surrounded with Lush Green Jungle, and Baby Blue Ocean.

I have been there. Loved it. :-)
Dan I do believe your woman likes her liquor ๐
She enjoys herself for sure. Doesn't shy away from much. :-)
Antigua is safe, police/security with shotguns everywhere. ๐ only complaint is tail gas
We loved it. :-)
You spent how much on alcohol??? ๐ฑ Perhaps you might have a problem.... ๐ค Looking forward to seeing more, especially the apartments. ๐
Thank you Terry Cavender! Stay tuned. Thanks for watching and commenting. :-) Dan
Yall know it's dangerous for people in Guatemala, right?
I think if you want more subscribers you're going to have to talk about the local women in the area!!!
You have a point but Iโm thinking Dan isnโt going to be out and about looking for/chatting with women. Thatโs a challenge. Maybe if he interviews other expats about this?
Thanks for the tip Michael. :-)
