Hi Carrie and Brian,

I just wanted to thank you for making these videos. I enjoy them each Saturday morning. My wife and I are approaching retirement and are looking forward to a similar lifestyle to what you're doing in a few years. You do an excellent job of conveying pertinent information in an entertaining way. I appreciate Brian's sense of humor (corny as it may be at times) and Carrie's very pleasant disposition.

I'm inspired and encouraged by how affordable seeing the world can be. Hopefully you will still be doing this in a few years and I can buy you a beer somewhere along the way. Please keep the videos coming. I look forward to watching each Saturday.

We got our quad delivered to the airport for when we arrived. Then the two of us with one bag each went straight to the accomodation on the quad. We spent 160€ for four days.. no taxis, no buses, no waiting.. and our accommodation was out of town a bit up the mountain (great view and was cheaper then staying in any of the towns). Then the quad people picked up the quad from us when we were leaving, we drove to the airport, they took it from there, to it was amazing!!

Binge watching your videos. I have learned to click the thumbs up at the start so I don't forget. It is a given that the video will be worth that thumb.

My husband and I are really enjoying your videos! You both do a great job delivering information in a clear and concise way and the budget breakdown is extremely helpful. I would love to see you include your meal plan for a week or a clip showing items available in the local grocery store. Obviously it would vary based on the country you’re currently staying in and I’d be interested in seeing what’s available and how you plan around that. We’ll be heading to the Algarve in October for 3 weeks, staying in Carvoeiro and have found your Portugal videos fantastic. Thank you and happy travels!

Thanks for sharing, we are in the process of planning travel in the future and your information is excellant.

Hi guys, I can believe how much younger and happier you two look. From Portugal.
I, m 75years young and do the same thing by myself in Latin and I South America. 🍻

Thanks for this video, you two are great. My husband and I spent a week on Santorini in mid April 2022. Really loved the island, only place in the world that has red, black and white beach. We visited the same two wineries you mentioned, wine museum was actually my favorite. We stayed in one of the cliff caves in Fira, lots of stairs, great sunsets from our porch every night. Grocery store at top of stairs.

These breakdowns are so useful! We would never have guessed that Santorini could be so affordable!

[AlbertaSovereign]

Great looking Airbnb, another well done video, thanks!

guys, I really love your videos and the way you travel, not being cheap but very budget conscious.
I've been to santorini last September and I may say that renting a car makes a huge difference if staying for a short period, you can explore the whole island in a few days. The volcano tour is very very worth it. Also street food there it's delicious and pretty cheap.
I'm willing to move to alicante, that's when I found your videos and follow since then. Keep up with the great work, you guys are great!

Hi Brian & Carrie,

Thank you for sharing all of your tips and tricks for Santorini ! we plan on heading there during off season as well. We spent a good amount of time searching for the right video here on youtube and your video helped my hubby and I the most !

thanks again xx

Thank you so much for sharing this video! Especially love the pics of the Santo Mines Winery and the pic of the steps leading back to the pier. Definitely taking the cable car!!

[edwardjones]

In Santorini on the 3rd May with my wife for 9 nights. Staying in Perissa, Santo vineyard trip on the 5th, booked direct and saved a bucket of cash.

[kaynenbrown]

Really appreciate these videos. I have watched many of them and as a result, have really gotten an idea as to how much things would roughly cost. Don’t think your videos are futile because they’re far from it. Keep enjoying your retirement!

[christinecline-leung]

Just discovered your channel and love your content and detail. Thank you. Bummer that the place you stayed looks like for long term stays in shoulder season is double what you paid now. Seems like you all really were fortunate.

[rebeccas]

New subscriber. Thank you for sharing all the details. You are so honest, relatable and really break it down so it seems doable!

[reneewhisenhunt]
