Well done Kristin. This is by FAR the most comprehensive list I've seen. Thanks!

[jfk]

Kristin you are like a travel dictionary. I feel info overload 😂😂. But thank you, you’ve covered every possible needs and scenarios

1613USD in mexico city is insane. A good ABNB apartment in Roma location runs around 500-700USD/month. Entire place.

[briancshort]

Perfect! This is exactly the sort of thing I've been looking for. Thank you, Kristin!

The way you raise your right eyebrow while putting stress on the the last syllable of a few words is kind of

I wish I could "like" 100 more times.

Information is a food for our brains. Kristin giving us concentrated space food!

I'm traveling to Lisbon, Portugal in mid-May for a few days and then on to Santa Maria Island for a month.

Fantastic leads, Kristin! In Dutch, it's "Te Huur" for rent.

[freyagrayden]

Extremely comprehensive. Learnt a lot. Thanks 🙏

[DennisGonzaleznyhonolulu]

I'm a retired Electrician here in Honolulul and by far you have really given me a lot of information as I am choosing to slow travel versus just move to Spain on a Lucrative Visa without traveling first. 🏄‍♂🏄‍♀

[patwilk]

Thank you, the information you provided will save lots of time in searching. Sorry that some people who commented below do not get, its about options. The site that shows a $2, 000 a month apartment rental, can also show an apartment for $250 a month. You need to look and screen.

Your voice is so soothing I can listen to you talk all day!!! New subscriber🫶🏾

OMG. So many choices I need to check out! Screw living in the same place for your long term vacation or retirement. I could mix it up and choose a few different ones every year.

[JayandTanyaTravel]

Great video, Kristin. As a couple who spends over 75% of the year "slow traveling" this was a great resource for looking at Airbnb alternatives. Thanks.

[gediminasmurauskas]

Hi Kristin!  Again, your video is a fantastic resource that I will certainly refer to, share with others, moving forward. Many useful takeaways here!  THANKS!!!

[ParisianThinker]

Excellent list of strategies! I often do home exchanges as well.

[shannon]

I can't get over how comprehensive your videos are. Many thanks for all of the help

[StorytellerDan]

My FAVOURITE video you've done. This will now be my bible for traveling. I am no longer a slave to Airbnb or estate agents. FANTASTIC - I owe you "another" beer. You're my jedi master.

[boisehingis]

Lots of info, thanks Kristin. Getting out of canada to find myself in montenegro just got easier
