Hi Josh, as an expat I don not have to worry about a bank account or credit score. My bank threw me out because of Obama's FATCA. are you having issues with your bank where you live?
Thanks for your videos

hello!so a month ago I used a VPN called "Hola VPN"(free) I have been using it till yesterday, I found out that it's dangerous. after I heard that I took it off from the chrome and uninstalled it. I still don't know if they have my IP address. do you think that I am safe by taking it off from chrome and uninstalling it?
