Hi, we are Rob and Tali. We sold our belongings and left our 9-5 life to slow travel the world full time on a limited budget. If you're thinking about escaping the daily grind, retiring ealry or working remotely whilst traveling the world then this channel is for you. We are living our DREAM LIFE and YOU CAN TOO. We will share the places we visit, slow travel tips and more.
Thanks for the info! We are going to be in Antigua, but just for like 4 hours off a cruise. Was just trying to decide if I should get some local currency...
We didn’t have any trouble communicating, alot of people speak English and helped us practice Spanish. Credit cards were accepted almost everywhere. Are you thinking of going to Antigua? If so, try and get to Lake Atitlan as well 😊
We're just starting to take a look at Malaga, as we're thinking of spending a few months there early next year! Thanks for the great video and the info you provided. We've subscribed so that we can follow along on your adventures. Cheers from Canada...for now :)
Hello!! Thanks for subscribing, we have also subscribed to you… can’t wait to catch up on your travels: the places we have also been to and those we haven’t yet for inspiration 🌍 we suggest you look at Valencia as well as Malaga for a long term stay. We LOVE- have been 3 times…. We’ll have a video out soon xx
@@thepigwillfly5869 we were able buy great wine in the supermarket for US$3.50 but restaurants charged $18-20 for a bottle. Sounds like Portugal is even cheaper 😊
We loved both, but they are very different, so it depends what you need for a long stay: a big city with lots of services, social connections, and expats or a more rural village with alot of experiences in nature but fewer services….. if it’s too hard to choose, why not half your time in each?? 😊
Such a beautiful city! Thank you for upload-- great content! I used to live in Costa Rica for several years... planning a move to Medellin in 2025 (with my 100lb dog and cat!!) XoXo <333
Gracias también por darnos la bienvenida. Nos lo pasamos genial aprendiendo Pickle Ball con gente encantadora. Las clases de Roberto fueron divertidas y nos enseñaron grandes habilidades. We will see you when we return 🇪🇸
Харесвам Румъния. Била съм 2 пъти и ме очарова тази страна. Живот и здраве трябва да се посети отново. Ходи ми се в Клуж и Орадеа. Благодаря ви за чудесния влог, пътешественици!🙋🏻♀️🔥
Low budget ??.....Another dumb video by entitled idiots, proudly overpaying and making it hard for the local working class, then wondering why some people resent them.
@loveduplifestylers funny enough, we did not bring sunscreen. Then, while at the lockers, a group of people we did not know were all spraying each other down with sunscreen. The wife and I were like o.k. nobody said anything to them. Not only did you guys tell us this, but we read it online. The drone was a must. We got a lot of beautiful shots. We are basically doing your trip in reverse. So, we just binge watched all your Mexico videos last night.

@@meltonsonthemove that’s cool: we loved the places we went to in Mexico, we hope you do too. We also found lots of info online, especially from other RU-vidrs. Do you also have a channel?
Hello Tali, Rob, many thanks for sharing your experiences and detailed information. I have 2 quick questions. How was the internet at the apartment and mobile? Do you have speeds and was there any downtime? Regarding your apartment, could I contact them directly and perhaps save the 3rd party booking fees? Any other good places to stay we can contact? (I guess that's more than 2 questions 😅) . Cheers!
Happt to answer more than 2 questions 😊 internet was very good in the apartment and our mobiles. No down time. We were able to stream Netflix and upload our RU-vid videos. Here is the link for our airbnb: www.airbnb.com/slink/jKCPQhuC
Wow that was so fun! What unique and exciting adventures at Salenta. Such a beautiful, colourful place. The views are to die for. Natalia I've never seen you so happy (maybe because you survived the horse ride 😂)
Awesome to discover your video this morning from our new apartment in Laureles. I experience the budget expenses a little different than yours but appreciate your experience. Be great to meet you guys some time. How long are you here?
Thank you, we are traveling around the world and have left Colombia, but will definitely return. We hope you enjoy your time in Laureles, how long are you staying?
@@magz9816 it is hard to choose a favorite 😍 even which is our favourite Greek island - We had so much fun on Paros and Naxos,but we stayed in a romantic place in Ios 😍. We loved places we knew very little about, like Romania, Guatemala and Colombia. Often it’s the people and the experiences we have that can make somewhere a favorite. DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE? We would love to hear about it
Paying $1,800 a month in a place where the minimum salary is like $300 a month means you paying a whole year salary for just two months of rent. Maybe they are using an Airbnb which would be like $60 a month but definitely was surprised when they came to that. May have missed something.
@@JamesD-iw6pr What do you consider basic logic. I just said $1,800 a month rent is equivalent to half a year salary on minimum wage. Lets bring that to the US, Mcdonalds pays say $15 a hour and at 2,080 hours a year that is a little over $30,000 annual salary on minimum wage so half a year of that is $15,000. If a Saudi or Emirati national came to the US and paid $15K a month for an apartment would that be considered low or high. Most people with basic common sense would say that is expensive. The only basic logic lacking is yours because youtube is for the masses not elites. Also, you say there is no such thing as a universal low or high budget, economic statistics are created based on local economic realities. Why do you think a lot of cities and citizens are pushing back and enacting restrictions on foreigners who use income arbitrage to push local rent prices high. It has happened in Portugal, Spain and many other places.
They are 100% getting gringo priced. A local would pay max $1,000/month for the same. The owner saw that they are the classic foreigner gringo and took advantage of them.
Hi, where we stayed was quiet and peaceful, no problems sleeping at night. Most of the nightlife in Laureles is around carrera 70 which will obviously be noisy at nightime.
Appreciate the video but this is the place where the odds of getting kidnapped or robbed is extremely high. Travel advisory for Colombia is level 3 which means reconsider travel.
Thanks. Yes safety is super important and always a priority consideration for us and checking the government travel advice is a must before travel as situations can change. We found the UK government advisory site useful as it has a breakdown of higher risk areas to avoid within Colombia. www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/colombia. To share our experience and hopefully help people wondering about safety, we felt safe in the areas of Medellin we lived in and the places we visited. People are getting on with their lives and enjoying the lifestyle and there are many foreigners in the areas where we were. Like in any large city, being alert to what is happening and who is around you is important.
Hmmmm, I’ve lived here in Medellin for a year and a half with nary a problem, and I live far away from the gringo areas. Perhaps there is a correlation?
@@JamesD-iw6pr Exactly. These videos refer to those who come here to party, consume cheap drugs and indulge themselves sexually. The vast majority of us come to Medellin to live in peace and harmony and to respect our new culture and behave ourselves.
Most of the problems involve men trying to get drugs or sleeping with prostitutes. Western media leaves that part out when they report crimes b/c they want to steer people away from Latin America.
Fantastic video. Can't believe how inexpensive it was. Thanks for showing us such a great variety of things to do, yummy food and experiences. Looks like a terrific quality of life at low cost
