I am in my early 60s and retired at 53. Lots of people gave me pushback because they had difficulty grasping the concept of not working if you don’t have to. I looked at my life as stages. I earned everything I have now through a lot of hard work, but I owe it to myself to “stop and smell the roses” in my final stage of life. In my case I left the country after I retired and live in Latin America. It allowed me to get away from all the negative things happening in America while appreciating my new environment. I have yet to meet anyone who regrets retirement.

For Da Nang, I'm here now and I disagree on it not having lots of meetups. There's meetups every night. Multiple. There's Whatsapp groups for individual interests too. If you want to be, you can be social every night. I've been to three meet ups this weekend alone. I'm loving this city so much.

I started my Latin AMerican journey in Oaxaca CIty living in a nice apartment for less than $500 a month. I lived near the Walmart where there are no parks or anywhere else to go. The people in that area were not friendly, but I stayed until I could not stand the Firecrackers going off all night. I escaped to Costa Rica.

Currently, I am staying at the Banana Hostel in the Candelaria de Bogota. I have a private room for about $14 a day, but I share the bathrooms and kitchen with the other guests when there are any. Ususally, I am the only one. If others come, they ususally have the dorm to themselves.

I am ready to move on to another city or town in Colombia. I am thinking Medellin and then Jardin.

I like the message on your shirt 😊. Great content too ❤.

[maestradeb]

As ever, tons of carefully curated content: on the ground perspective coupled with research, delivered clearly and concisely. And some surprise destinations! Thank you for continually opening up the world to us. Awesome shirt! 💗

[Boogie-WoogieTravel]

Great info Kristin! Love the shirt too. 💗

[alishirazi]

Greetings Kristin 👋Thank you for yet another informative content, but what really caught my eye was the perspectives on your T-shirt! For over 25 years I have filled my job applications as follows: Nationality-Planet Earth, Race-Human and to date only one HR department re-questioned my nationality! 🙂I would have ordered a T-shirt to support your friend, but I can't say that I'm fully aligned with it all. In my view it should say: Birthplace-Earth, Race-Human, Politics-Open Dialogue, Religion-Love w/ Respect, Language-Education. (no weaponization in my book! ;-)
Farewell wherever you are these days. 🙏

[CauterizeKing]

Thanks so much Kristin for all the effort you put in this create these videos. I'm heading to Da Nang, finally able to be nomadic full time after many years trying to get here.
Sold almost everything i have and feeling so light and agile :)

[raw-earth-exploits]

One of the most exciting things to do outside Dahab is trekking Saint Katherine Protectorate at 2am to see the morning sunrise 🌄 Mt. Sinai!!!

[carolmartin]

Interesting 'off-radar' places that offer cultural experiences cheap! 👍

My Problem is Cold Weather, For me, 75F - 80F Degrees everyday is Perfect, Argentina and Colombia are Cheap But they Have Cold Weather and that's a Problem For Me i lived in New York City For 16 years and they were the worst years of my life because of the Cold Weather, i Felt like an ice Cream

[hamletliriano]

Thanks, Kristin for the very educational content you put together with every video, definitely no waste. Lately, I have heard beautiful things about the Dominican Republic, and because it's so close to the US (my home base) I am considering moving there. I'd love your thoughts and opinions about this island since digital nomads are moving there at an increasing volume/rate. It'd be great to see anything from you, on the Dominican Republic, thanks in advance.

Super awesome T-shirt.
I retired to Thailand from America a year ago. I always answer straight forward to the locals because I feel they are more genuine with the question, "Where are you from?" But for non-Thais, my answer is typically "Earth".

[lisaquick]

Love your channel, Kristin! Thank you!

[Willhart]

I've already been doing freelance work for Microsoft, Meta, etc since the summer of 2021 right within the US. Now the idea of living and working abroad seems more and more interesting as the political situation here gets to crap. I will look at your book and course on the subject.

[viktor.egelund]

What on earth would you do in Dahab, when not looking at your laptop?
It has a population of ca. 3000 people and is basically a small beach village.

Criteria for a location to *live* are different from a two-week vacation spot.

[visevich]

As always, another terrific video. MANY thanks!

[JohnRPike]

Thanks for sharing these insanely affordable locations. Great information.

Most cities in Taiwan are also this affordable (< US$900/month). If you are a Caucasian, native English speaker, it's easy to find an English teaching job in Taiwan, and even their part-time position is enough to pay for your living expenses!

If you don't want to teach but willing to work at restaurants, there are a few jobs in Taiwan too.

Third option is to enter Taiwan as tourist, exit Taiwan every couple months before your passport's Taiwan entry stamp date, fly to somewhere close (e.g. Hong Kong, Okinawa, Palau), then return to Taiwan. Those flights are very affordable.
