You two are a very cute couple. Thx for all the great info!

I look to be back in Europe soon 🔜.

NYC crowns: $2750 each. I think a lot of people must have work insurance, but when you're paying out of pocket, like me, it's insane. When my parents were alive I'd visit them in Oregon for dental. My dentist in Redmond charged approx $1100 per crown. (2018 probably.) I will need a couple more soon, and am planning on doing the "half price dental" trip out to Oregon, or I'm going to visit a friend in Thailand and get it done there. $350? Maybe I'll go to Europe! I figure for the price of a crown in NYC, and can take a nice trip somewhere, enjoy myself, and get the dental done there.

What about if you travel with pets. 2 small dogs under 20lbs. We have never traveled overseas so we’re really concerned about our babies first.

Thank you so much for all you do. It is really helpful to figure out so many decisions about travelling through Europe once I can finally retire. You guys are awesome! I am Chilean-American and my dad is Argentinian. All my family is in Chile, so if you ever need any tips on Chile, let me know. I would be really happy to help. Best

Well done!, you do America proud with your cheery, positive highlights of places to go. happy trails

An American as well, I spent the last year there and can say it is one of the sweetest places ever! Super safe as a single lady -- I felt totally comfy to go out day or night and not be pestered, or feel creepy vibes. Very honorable, humble society. Do know what a luxury that is? I was on the north coast and the focus was on families, irregardless of religion. One of the more tolerant places I have ever visited. The food is fresh and local, almost without pesticides. Yes, it is working its way up to a higher standard, yet you could not find a higher standard of trustworthy kindness. I am grateful to have wandered there, lured by the 12-month welcome mat for USA citizens: no visa required. Thank you!

Why is everyone wanting to leave the states? I left in 2008.

winner is, if think healt, food, weather, cost, cheap, Thailand. i has test live 27 country and any not has better than Thailand.

But the shopping centers are crowded. 24/7....shop shoo shop....clothing garbage. Lots of bad food. Shop....

Panama reteiries VISA 1500 dollars a month for 1 persone. I did it. Portugal very high taxes, impossible rents and crime increasing a lot.

We just got back from being on the road full time for 4 years, including Europe - the most expensive of our travels. You can’t treat this way of travel like a vacation - it’s costly but I wouldn’t trade what we did for a minute. Planning our next travels as I watch this. Enjoy! ❤

It would be very easy for an American to live in Estonia. Everyone speaks English, transportation is straightforward, there are no ghettos and public services are available online or via mobile apps.

The fact you guys brought up Kansas makes this video feels like it speaking to me because that’s where I’m at right now and that’s what makes me wanna leave America

Is Albania safe for a woman traveling alone? Just for museums, cafes, & nature, no night clubs!

it's better to spend your money making memories than stay at home missing out on life

What insurance company do you use and phone number and website please

If you want to live in France, it is a a great place if you have next to no money otherwise you will be taxed all your life and at death.

I just had dental work done. Had a root canal, tooth broke off and will have a crown: $2906.00. A cleaning cost $139.00. I could have taken a vacation in Mexico and had dental work done. I live in central Georgia in a small town . When you shared your expense, it really frustrated me. I continue to question why am I putting up with the US and the cost of living and all other problems. So I imagine returning to Spain and being able to sit in a nice park vs cooped up in my house to avoid the heat and humidity of central GA. As I speak it is 100 degrees. Thanks for the push to make changes! Perhaps your video is the kick in the butt that I needed to make changes.

For the weather, it is the wettest Springtime in Northern Europe for decades, so normally you will have warmer, sunnier and dryer weather ;)

Could you tell me where in Albania you got a crown?

Thanks for sharing, very interesting figures. We also mostly stay out of larger cities. Not only due to costs, but also much easier for parking. Just look at the possibility for train connections. 2. If you book a week or even a month, you find better deals. Many B&B's are offering discounts for longer stays. A good example is in Italy Verde. It is in between Venice and Trieste, you stay at a lovely beach site and you have good connections to both cities and one week is not to long. Another tipp. In a lot of countries in europe people eat their main meal at Lunchtime. Many restaurants offer special lunch deals. Even here in Switzerland you can eat often for 20 Euros.

Wow I never thought about Albania! Maybe I will take a trip there !

Unfortunately, Europe has become very expensive since Corona. In particular, of course, the accommodations in the big, well-known cities and hotspots. That's why many Europeans are now traveling to Southeast Asia.

Just my 2 cents. . . I really liked the gray hair on Amelia! Enjoy the videos!

Love the video! In Bangkok my replacement crown and all work equated to $490 USD. And that was 2 weeks ago.

Excellent review. Thank you guys!

I'm living in the Philippines on the SRRV Classic Visa. I am looking forward to your visit and the following videos. If you have any questions, look me up!

Please do the video on more things to do in the capital.

Good job! Still cheaper than most people's "normal" in the U.S.

There is a lot more to living in a country (comfortably) than the cost of living.

And Mexico has scorpions! Yikes. I hate Scorpions, the most feared "bug" for me. But every country except Antartica has scorpions but Mexico has the most.... Could be a deal breaker for me....I'll take spiders over scorpions. Even snakes. LOL. Cartels or scorpions? ummmm...

🥰 but you have your retirement money to back you up , don't you :) Now , its time for you two to go back to OLON-Ecuador 2024<3

As of end of June 2024, Albania has agreed to take the migrants that are being expelled Italy. Say hi to your new neighbors!

We just spent a month in Vietnam and really loved it. It’s very cheap to travel and live but very hot and humid. We started our trip in Danang and headed north from there. We never made it to hoochie man city because of the heat. Highly recommend Vietnam.

Good points. We spent 5 weeks in Andalusia in December/January and most of the time we had nice weather, and it is wonderful to swim in the sea and eat outside, walk outside in January. But in summer you won't generally see me in southern Europe, it just gets too hot for my northern skin. Andalusia, apart from some ugly mass tourism areas, is a very interesting part of Spain, with lots of culture, good food and wine and friendly people.

I've been following you on RUclips for a while now and this is the first video that I have watched where you mentioned you followed a plant-based diet. I will be in Europe soon and also follow a plant-based diet. The rest of my family does not. I would be interested in any tips you have regarding how you find restaurants while traveling in Europe.

The cancelled NHR might come back. Two things that you missed. One, due to a couple of reasons, getting permission to move there is now really, really slow due to backups. Second, it's expensive and not always easy to find a place to rent almost anywhere in a decent town. If you want a vehicle and are willing to live in the countryside, it's really inexpensive but then you don't have easy access to services and kind of alone. I've even found places in France (obviously not Paris) at about half the price than in the desirable towns of Portugal!

Been watching your channel for years now. I always enjoy them ... and your travels. I think that many Americans ... dissatisfied with life in the US, take a lot we have for granted. I've traveled a lot in the past, got a job offer in the Land Down Under, been to Mexico multiple times, BUT, I've seen more than enough to convince me to never move there. A fun place to visit ... warm and friendly people .... as was your observation in Ecuador, but making any of those places "home"? No thank you. I love Italy ... the land of my ancestors ... on both sides. I would really love to spend the rest of my life there, BUT, I wonder how much I would be giving up in the US for a "better life" in Italy.

And no graffiti or track in streets and along highways

They were saying that it's the same as Mexico. They were saying that it's got only Mexicans I heard it said in the united states. They all speak Mexican.

Glad to know about safety

How did you manage to hook up with wealthy andrew who hooked up with wealthy famous Jim rodgers 😳 🤔.?

I wonder if you left the dogs behind if they could find you in Ecuador?

America has to be the most overall toxic country on earth, especially for children on social media.

Thank you for this "eye-opener". It would never have come to my mind but you are actually right. Apart from actual information, I appreciate how professional the two of you deliver it. I am tired of these "10 things I hate about etc............" which are all personal opinions about issues that all depend on what you expect. Which is different for everybody. Don't blame countries if they don't deliver what you expect.

I pay $800 a month in lodging (including internet and electric) for my large 1br apt in a small city (50k residents) in a US state where the climate is temperate. I'm 20-40 minutes away from various minor cities and 1 hr away from a major city with an international airport. Of course if i lived with a significant other, thatd be cut in half. So I dont see the advantage of this lifestyle or moving abroad for someone in my situation.

Thank you guys for sharing and please be careful, Bendiciones

Very interesting. As we're planning long term travel in Europe next year, the accommodations have been something of a revelation with costs averaging about $2,200 - $2,300 a month and that's off season, although we're seeing some more expensive places with no lower cost areas like Albania thrown in.

Kudos and thanks for the detailed info, well presented. It's difficult to explain to people that it's cheaper to be a slow-traveling nomad than to "just live" in the US. I've been doing it for 4 years now and I not only live cheaper but I live much better.
