We really hope you have enjoyed this weeks video. If in the unlikely event you would be interested to see our Patreon Page, you will find it over here: www.patreon.com/2goroam

@joannenardi4234 2 года назад

Done! Looking forward to it!

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey Joanne! You are wonderful and amazing. How cool that you have been on this journey with us from way back last year!

@denise-stevens 2 года назад

It’s about time! 😄

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey Deesiee! Haha that is very kind of you to say and really cool of you to be on board at Patreon!

@BetsyGutting Год назад

I love your channel and you're both very enjoyable to listen to. It takes a lot more courage to take the risk to live the life of your choice, than to stay "chained" to a conventional life. Here's to living intentionally! And thanks for all your hard work on your videos. I'm also a RU-vidr. It's gratifying but also very hard work! 😍

@erinaustin9968 2 года назад

I don’t know much about patriot but you are both charming people and who wouldn’t want to have more interactions with you. Q&A videos are so helpful and allow us, the viewer,to get to know you more. Same idea. Great stuff.

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey Erin! Lovely of you to say, thank you! We aren't expecting anyone to sign up though lol. Best wishes Neil & Sarah

@RetiredandLivingthedream 2 года назад

We lived out of a backpack for 2 years, posting on FB when you look back you see the same T-shirts shorts etc etc. So when we got to Thailand we bought all new items. Enjoy your trip.

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey RLTD! Really appreciate the comment, funny... I wore a grey T Shirt yesterday (in fact it is the one you will see in Next saturday's video). Sarah said "That looks nice on you." My reaction.... "Do you think I should just go buy another 6 of these and have done with it?" Sarah drew the line there... Best regards, Neil & Sarah

@RetiredandLivingthedream 2 года назад

Health care once you leave the U.K. for more than 6 months you have to go back on the waiting list for up to 2 years this has been a big debate on one of my videos.

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey RLTD! Really appreciate the comment, yes we are aware and are looking at online NHS doctors in the UK at the moment with a hope of overcoming that issue. Do you have any great solutions? Best regards, Neil & Sarah

@commuterbranchline8132 2 года назад

A most comprehensive Q&A indeed! I’m delighted you guys are indeed living out your very intentional and planned dream! Many folk simply won’t understand how or why you walk this path or that you have planned it over many years. But, I take great joy in following your adventures and wish you both happiness and success in all that you do. Thank you for sharing your adventures with the rest of us! 👍

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey CBL! Thank you so much for taking the time to drop us a comment! Great to see you back in the comments. That is really cool of you to say. It is funny when we get comments of people who don't take time to understand what we are doing and then they make a snap decision about our intelligence level. Great to see a long term viewer voice what you have here. We really appreciate it! Best regards, Neil & Sarah

@commuterbranchline8132 2 года назад

@@2GoRoam Thank you for your most kind comment! Indeed, I have been enjoying your channel from the beginning when you were selling up and saying your farewells. Your Liverpool trip made me want to visit the city and I now notice that lots of bbc tv programs are filmed there, so a trip will be planned. Although I haven’t been in the comments, I have been watching and enjoying the adventure as it unfolds. I think that your observations of your comments section are correct, lots of folk don’t get it. Society is set up in a most repetitive fashion where we are conditioned to work hard at school, get a job, have a family and work until we drop or retire at 67. You guys haven’t exactly stuck to that traditional plan and have indeed planned and executed your escape to explore something a little different. Im sure some folks have always done this type of thing, but, social media now allows the world to jump onboard for the ride. Since watching yours and other retired early vlogs, I have stopped buying unnecessary consumer items, focused on my health/ wellness, begun to invest in dividend stocks and formed my own ‘escape’ committee. I hope to sell off a lifetime of gathered items in the coming months and invest the proceeds to fund my own adventures. In the meantime, please continue to travel the path less traveled and blog the life that lots of us wished we’d planned for 20 years ago! 👍😀

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Great to hear about the consumer items, that is the first and one of the most difficult things. Sarah talks about the 72 hour rule.... basically if you have the urge to buy... leave it 72 hours and see if you still have the urge, often you would have forgotten you even wanted it. Thanks so much man, we really appreciate having you here.

@commuterbranchline8132 2 года назад

@@2GoRoam Yes, I have implemented Sarah’s 72 hour rule lol. When sorting out items for sale, I’ve been oddly unsettled about deciding to sell things I haven’t picked up or used for 20 years or more!? I am slowly fighting the hoarding urge, however it’s not as easy as I had imagined….. Still, the pot of cash from the sales is satisfyingly growing and that’s the point. This will potential allow freedoms only once dreamed of, off to make some money!

@darrell3O87OO 2 года назад

💹💰 Inflation in Australia is getting out of control. But yhe pension is still the same. So South-East Asia is looking better and better.

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey 74Drive! Thanks for getting in touch, yes your Aussie dollar will certainly go further here in SE Asia. Hopefully the end to the inflationary pressures will ease in the next couple of years. Our fingers are crossed for that anyway. Best regards, Neil & Sarah

@harryvose6675 2 года назад

For me, to be able see the "background stuff" around your RU-vid activities such as how you plan your videos/content/scripts, what you have found is the most efficient way to edit the content,is something for which I would wholeheartedly support you on Patreon.

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey Harry! Thank you so much for taking the time to drop us a comment! That is really cool for you to say! We have put our Patreon live now but are open to ideas about what the different levels should include. We are really planning to do a lot of behind the scenes stuff. The work that goes into each video is quite something. Thanks again. Best regards, Neil & Sarah

@erickarnell 2 года назад

I have a Patreon monthly budget that I use to support creatives like you that I want to see be successful. The accounts change over time as my interests change. Patreon allows for a little more low-stress direct engagement, where you know that you aren't responding to "haters" because these people are giving you money every month.

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey Erick! We have supported creators in the same way, the first was Kara and Nate a long time ago. We see that they aren't on Patreon any longer. You sum it up perfectly, feels like a safe and positive space. Thanks for getting in touch again Erick. Best wishes Neil & Sarah

@debbysteggall5616 2 года назад

So, today my husband and I watched today's episode, and then we went and sat out on our patio with a glass of wine and fed the squirrels- our pets. A few minutes later Don says, "I really enjoy watching those two every week." Yea, me too. We aren't able to do what you are doing but, we love seeing what you are up to every week. Your video wasn't intended for us, but we love it. I'm always amazed at hearing that you have critics. I don't get it. We enjoyed watching the Crocodile hunter even though we wouldn't do it. (May he rest in peace and YES we just compared you two to the Crocodile Hunter!) We enjoy the work that you do every week to let us into the world as you see and experience it because we relate to you. I enjoy hearing about what it takes to do what you do in the practical sense and then what you are experiencing during your travels. What can we say, we are fans. Looking forward to next week.

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey Debby! Very kind of you to say, this feels a weird situation for us. We follow lots of other RU-vid channels and there have been times we have posted comments like this and every time it has felt like a watershed for us the viewers. Taking the time to tell the channel just how important we are to them. This is incredible, it really is. We were making a video at 6am this morning, so Sarah is in bed... I can't wait to read this to her when she gets up! Best regards, Neil & Sarah

@TrekkingwithMikeandDeb 2 года назад

Negative opinions seem to come from "unknowing" or jealousy. I occasionally wonder what we are doing, traveling the world but wouldn't have it any other way. If we make a mistake, it is ours to deal with. For us not going and growing old without adventure would be worse than having less money.

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey Mike & Deb! Really appreciate the comment, yes of course. Well we are all following a path less traveled and I guess that can be difficult for people to fathom. I have always feared being on my deathbed and thinking that I hadn't done the things I dreamed of. Best regards, Neil (& Sarah)

Catching up on missed videos and leaving the obligatory comment for the YT algorithm

@craigakerman1007 2 года назад

Hi Neil and Sarah, wow lots of questions that you got through there! Interesting to hear your answers - you had me and Donna nodding away at most of them. One thing that I have personally been surprised about which you touched on within the video is seeing just how well developed other countries are. We will often be walking around I will repeatly mention it. Like you said, in the UK we live in this box and it has been so amazing to see what's out there. In terms of inflation I was saying to Donna the other day that I'm so glad we sold everything because it would have affected us a lot more being in the UK right now. Excellent video as usual 👌

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey Craig! Really appreciate the comment and we know how well travelled you guys are. Yes the world is pretty cool isn't it, the UK isn't actually the centre of the universe! Strange eh :-) We were talking with friends today on a video call and they were shocked that we love Thailand so much, that there were virtually no negatives to the place. Stay in touch guys and lets catch up on video sometime soon. Best regards, Neil & Sarah

@Where_in_the_world_are_we_now 2 года назад

I look forward to your videos every Saturday! It’s the highlight of my week. I get so inspired by both of you! These next two years are just dragging by waiting for my husband to retire so that we can slow travel, too. I find the information that y’all share with us every week is so valuable in preparing us for what lies ahead. I hope someday we can meet up somewhere in the world and enjoy a beer together (although it would have been nice to have some in your former ivory tower, too. 😂🤣). If you decide to go with patreon, it would be my honor to give financial support to y’all. ❤️

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey Lorrie! Thank you for the kind comment, hope you enjoy our content as we go forward! 2 years will flash by, trust us, we didn't realise how quick that time passed before we were out traveling. We would LOVE to meet somewhere in the world for that beer, just be sure to stay in touch and we can't wait to see you on the road. Our Patreon is now live, hope to see you there sometime soon. Best regards, Neil & Sarah

@alextravelandexplore2841 2 года назад

Just love you both! Was lucky enough to happen across your fist ever video when you first put it up and I have been hooked ever since! Love the way you travel, your transparency and the way you are together! Two years left for my Hubble and I and your videos are inspirational and invaluable! Thank you thank you thank you! X

@celtics2008champs1 Год назад

I really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for all the work you put in every week to get these videos out to us !! This is a life that most of us don't live but may want to later in life. Thanks for all the tips and video of places that many of us have never been to. It opens up our imaginations as to what is possible !!!! Patreon is a great feature and you guys deserve $$ for the value you provide to people retiring and/or traveling like you do !!!

@bluestarfishsea 2 года назад

Great video! I agree if you do something you love, then low hourly pay is worthwhile. But keeping a relaxed perspective and putting yours + your partner’s happiness first will help you enjoy it + focus on the fun. I also agree, being raised in our countries in our ivory towers, we develop some perspectives that don’t benefit us. When we can travel and feel more acceptance of the way things are done in other countries, we also discover why so many people in developing countries are so happy with less. It’s a perspective of focusing on what’s right, and it doesn’t come naturally but as we practice it, it brings soooo much more joy ✨

You never know what life throws at you. Love your channel.

@melhenline8438 2 года назад

I love the Q&A videos! The first question out of the gate was one that I've often wondered about. It's good to know that your appetite for travel only grows. While on vacations I've often thought to myself, "would I get tired of this eventually?" Great content guys!

@dawnspeakman33 2 года назад

I agree re people negatively commenting - one has to ask who is that really about? This is your life and you have a right to do whatever you want, no one has the right to speak in to it unless you give them permission. So ignore the loose pins, you have an exceptional life and its wonderful you are prepared to share your adventures with others through your channel as well as share what you have learnt and are learning...Another great video thanks for taking the time to share these insights..

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey Dawn! Really appreciate the comment, yes... you won't hear us mention them again, unless at christmas we may do a run down of the funniest comments we have had :-) Thank you so much, we work hard and it is lovely to see it is respected. Best regards, Neil & Sarah

@angelalewis7868 2 года назад

Loving your channel and look forward to Saturday each week. I would support you on Patreon. More in-depth planning topics, access to budget tools, more details about the realities, excitements, and concerns with your locations. You have shared that detailed planning has led to you guys heading out for 10 years of travel, curious if that ended up being essential or if you have had to make several changes to that initial planning. Again, love your channel and don’t pay any attention to the negativity. You guys are smart and living the dream!!

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey Angela! Thank you so much for taking the time to get in touch. That's great to hear, although we have put our Patreon live we are open to ideas for what should be on there. We actually flexed our plan a lot, especially when Covid hit, fortunately though we were doing the 'just one more year' thing at the time. Hope that helps 👍 Best wishes Neil & Sarah

@iqbalahmed516 2 года назад

@sojourner7782 2 года назад

Hi Neil & Sarah, your channel is my favorite on RU-vid! You reignited my FIRE dream when I chanced upon your channel 3 weeks ago. Keep on sharing and doing the great work you started. Love your authenticity, honesty and humour! 🙌

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey Sojourner! Thanks for getting in touch, that is incredible and exactly the kind of reason we started making the channel in the first place. If we are in any position to inspire others to do the same then it is 100% worthwhile for us. Re-igniting you FIRE dream is brilliant! Thanks so much for letting us know. Best regards, Neil & Sarah

@daveramm43 2 года назад

Loved this video, I particularly liked your honest view about doing a RU-vid channel and the time involved editing etc… I kind of picked up from you and other RU-vidrs that it takes dedication and effort… something I’ll never have! So I leave that to you guys. It’s cool to see how you guys have changed over this last year, it’s very subtle but if I met you two on the road I swear I’d think you’d been travelling for years… you’ve clearly found your groove.

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey Dave! Thanks for getting in touch again. Yes RU-vid is a lot harder than we thought before we started that is for sure. That is really cool of you to say. You know we had a video call with some of our best friends today and they commented at how much Sarah has grown in the last year. Very cool eh. Best regards, Neil & Sarah

I’ve travelled to several countries prior to COVID, leisurely or by taking study abroad students to see the developing world. I feel fortunate to live in Southern California and am at the stage where I feel the need to explore what this part of the world has to offer. My stepmother is a thai so I’ve lived and visited Thailand many times over and have lived and worked there for a while. But your channel is inspiring and provides people like us the opportunity to travel the world virtually with you! Please keep it up! You both are amazing!

@nabilel-ghoroury 2 года назад

Another wonderful video! I really resonate with the intentional aspects of travel (and other parts of life). Intentionality is so critical in making the most out of anything. I look forward to seeing what comes next with this subtle shift. So it seems like you're carrying substantially less than when you started your journey. I would really be interested in knowing what you travel with specifically, what you eliminated, and why you eliminated those items.

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey Nabil! Thank you so much for taking the time to drop us a comment as usual. Good questions, in the video this weekend I mention that we have planned a video where we talk about what we thought was important before travel and in that video we could share that. Just wanted to ask people in that video how important that would be to them. I can see you would like that, which is a great start. Thanks Nabil! Best regards, Neil & Sarah

@tanyasteadman4819 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing your intentional lives with all of us. We appreciate your honesty and do look forward to the regular YT updates to help us plan our travels. Imagine if we got to share a drink sometime, somewhere in the world!?! I don’t know much about Patreon but will take a look at your link….happy travels xx

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey Tanya! Really appreciate the comment, we would LOVE to share that drink with you somewhere. All that means is, we need to make that happen so keep in touch. The Patreon is now live at www.patreon.com/2goroam but really only do it if you think you would get value from what we are offering, we are also looking at the Tierings and are moving things around to make more appropriate.

Hey Vedette! Thank you for the kind comment, hope you enjoy our content as we go forward! Yes it truly is a wonderful country and I (Neil) have learnt a lot through my experiences there. Loved Jo'berg and Cape Town and so much more to see. Best regards, Neil & Sarah

@scottphillips6847 2 года назад

I thoroughly enjoy your videos. To be honest, your exact lifestyle may not be for my wife and me, but we are watching with the intent of finding a hybrid model that works for us. Keep up the fun vids and enjoy your intentional life! BTW - We live in Texas and hope to move our home to Europe in a few years. From there, we will start our travels! Cheers!

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey Scott! Thank you so much for taking the time to drop us a comment! Hybrid is absolutely the way to go... Really our lifestyle is so personal to us that it likely only works for us. We got to this through looking at a hybrid of others we have seen around us. So you are doing 100% the right thing, good work! Best regards, Neil & Sarah

@karenley7356 2 года назад

Well done Neil and Sarah, you are doing what a lot of people dream of doing but don’t because fear often holds us back! Don’t spend too much time on your videos defending your lifestyle choices, as you mentioned people can “chug along “ if it’s not for them. Wishing you both well on your adventure, be safe, healthy and happy . Look forward to following along .

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey Karen! Thanks for getting in touch, we take your point about focusing on this in videos. We won't actually mention it again. We met a RU-vid heavyweight this week and he talked to us about that kind of stuff and what we are now doing is focusing on the cool people. We put you in that camp. Appreciate the comment.

I’d really be interested in supporting you guys on Patreon particularly for information with travel specifics. Examples would be where you stayed, how much it cost, where would have been better to stay after you get to know the area, etc. When the hubs and I travel we look for a moderate hotel that is centrally located that is well rated. There are literally hundreds and it’d be nice to have a little more information from someone who is actually there. By the way, great video!

You mentioned something about how we see other cultures or something to that affect and your hole in the ground resort story. The common expat comments like "they should.." , "why do/don't they..", " thry ought to..." really ruffle my tailfeathers! This lifestyle has blessed me with many "ah-ha"s. My #1 is "no one gets to claim whst 'right' is". "Right" is only a perspective based on our own norms. Your "right" doesn't make someone else "wrong".

You already seem wise being your travel years. Those "rants" are hilarious.

Hello Neil and Sara! I have no doubt that you did extensive planning and still have a thoughtful plan to enable you to do what you are doing! I admire you both! It takes a lot of courage to "dare greatly", as Brene' Brown, famous author, wrote. I want to take my state pension and use "geo arbitrage" to my advantage- I learned that term in your video :). It gives me hope that I too can do some slow travel, instead of the same old thing and maybe retire earlier that I could if staying in the US. I especially appreciate your meticulous budgeting and demonstrating how it can be done. I also think Neil being a former banker must help you in that pursuit. Don't let others misinformed comments deter you from your dreams. ❤

Just watched your video while emptying the dishwasher. Have seen a few of your videos and enjoyed them all. Have travelled independently in over 60 countries, but it's now been four yrs since my last overseas trip... Can at least experience things vicariously through you. While you are in Chiang Mai, be sure to go visit the Elephant Nature Park - you can even spend time there volunteering. It's a special place. Keep up the good work - but don't let the videos be a source of stress. Thank you for sharing. (This is my first ever You Tube comment!)

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey lliebergen! Really appreciate the comment, thank you for the heads up. We will of course visit an elephant sanctuary and the first thing we have discussed doing is, research to ensure that the place we choose is ethical. So we are over the moon for this recommendation, we will be sure to make a video from there! Thanks so much. And please.... comment more. You are pretty cool, did you know that? Best regards, Neil & Sarah

@lliebergen4578 2 года назад

@@2GoRoam Thanks Neil & Sarah - yes that is very important, that's why I selected to go to Elephant Nature Park when I was in Chiang Mai. It's a sanctuary and rescue center founded by Lek Chailert. You could actually stay there and volunteer for a week or two. Wow - I just looked on their website and for staying there, most of June and July are fully booked/not available - maybe it's too hot? But June 27- July 3 has some availability. You could always just go for a day, anyway, anytime. Check it out. I will look forward to finding out what your experience will be. Elephants are amazing. Stay cool! (My last overseas trip was actually to Bangkok - but that was in March 2018 - is it quite hot there right now, being that it's June? Maybe it's consistently warm all year, I'm not sure...

@davidostrowski679 2 года назад

Love the point re RU-vid income! It's hilarious when I do the same and calculate my hourly rate! LOL. Patreon is a funny one. I used to do so much with early videos, other perks, trying to send postcards, but honestly they all seem to just want to support and don't expect anything. I post regularly but many don't check Patreon and don't have notifications on. I would say that RU-vid negatively affects the travel experience. One reason I'm bringing it to a close after 6 years is that travel is so focused on filming. I don't experience travel or remember anything. I'm looking forward to travelling with out a camera. I wouldn't recommend it. Bizarrely I hate filming but enjoy editing! I think it's my creative side. On that note, I've gotta go out filming! Speak soon you two! X

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey David! Absolutely get that about the filming and enjoyment of a location. We have changed our strategy significantly and the watershed for us was a video we made about the Acropolis. For us, it was a little cinematic gem but it performed awfully and impacted the channel growth, then I (Neil) realised that I didn't actually *see* the Acropolis, I was so tied up in shooting a film of it. That was when we knew we had to change. Listen, lets talk soon ok! Enjoy your travels... a REAL inspriational RU-vidr! We love your work. Best regards, Neil & Sarah

Love your laid-back and casual style. It comes across as friendly and helpful. Thank you for sharing with us! Slow travel is something that I've dreamed about for years. I'm a bit older and don't have the opportunity to save and sell the way you have. However, I've set myself up with a couple of monthly pensionsand will eventually receive SS. Also, I wonder what your thoughts are on renting one's house instead of selling when you live in an area with a hot rental market. P.S. it would be great if people could make an occasional donation on Patreon instead of being a monthly member.

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey Kirsten! Really appreciate the comment, firstly we take your point on Patreon and we are still figuring out what we think of the concept and what it can give us (beyond the money side). There is the superthanks on RU-vid that you will see below our videos too. With regard to Property vs Real Estate, the variables are mind-boggling they really are and one of the variables that has to be considered is the quality of the market for rental. Where we lived in the UK was a small town and not exactly a destination town either so for us, the rental side would have been too up/down to be able to be sure. If as you say you are in an area with a hot rental market that changes the landscape. I have mentioned that I am working on a video relating to that and I am, thing is... it is very complicated and I am setting aside 2 hours a week at the moment for planning. I hope it to be shot and uploaded in around 6 weeks. So watch this space, I want to do the subject real justice. Best regards, Neil & Sarah

Hi Neil and Sarah, always good to watch your videos. As you may know from previous comments, I am a seasoned traveler and am now in retirement so it is 6 months plus or minus in my flat in Honolulu, rent it out for 6 months (I wanted to sell the place and move to France but my kids rioted on me!) and off to UK, France and Italy. Living in the US with the most outrageously expensive and frankly often mediocre healthcare system in the world, I relax when I am outside on that front! So yes anybody who wants to come this direction watch out! So definitely geo-arbitrage works very well coming from here (just spent $140 for two salads, three glasses of wine and a bottle of mineral water out with a friend at a swanky restaurant in Seattle). I never eat out in Honolulu - a glass of wine can approach $20 with tip and tax! I figure when someone comes to stay with me for a week and wants to thank me we can do dinner out at their expense. As for the trolls, I have just finished my teaching career (17 years banking plus 17 years teaching at university) what is terrific is your job evaluation is there for the world to see! Rate My Professor. So if someone wants to trash you at even a very personal level, they do. Like what you do with comments, I try to see if there is any objective merit in the negative stuff and also realize that people with bad grades and or chips on their shoulder (your cases of negative folks here) are the ones that are going to go out of their way to comment while those who are enthralled (most of the people who comment here) will also make comments. You are now over 10K subscribers and I think that on its own is an indication of your success and value to your followers. You guys are genuinely entertaining just being your natural selves so keep up the good work and the valuable content! Cheers, Rod

@2GoRoam 2 года назад

Hey Reg! Really appreciate the comment, firstly we almost cried when you mentioned the cost of the Seattle meal lol. Chiang Mai is, well... slightly more cost effective :-) The subject of the trolls is an interesting one, what I (Neil) have had to do, to help with her mental health, is basically keep Sarah away from the comments. She doesn't need to read that stuff and I will read her ALL the other comments. That is actually working out really well for us, as with me reading her the comments, that means we are discussing them between us and that in turn makes us feel a lot closer to our viewers. I haven't read her this one yet, but when I do... it will go like this... "So we have had a really interesting comment regarding costs and also talking about negative comments....." Sarah will ask "Who", I will say "Reg" and she is likely to think for a second and say "Hawaii?" We enjoy those exchanges a lot. All very cool. Thank you Reg. We really appreciate you and your thoughtful comments. Best regards, Neil & Sarah

Thanks so much for your views and information. Being a retired nomad couple, we spend about 8-10 months on the road outside of the U.S, we have been on the road for more than 6 years now. We spend the rest of the time back in the US visiting children, doing medical checkups, tax processes, etc, and just making sure our lives are easily maintainable while overseas We house sit when we either need some downtime or when we want to ease our financial footprint. (Covid did see us house sitting in the US for a solid year....it made our next trip financially a breeze.) Being blessed and able to live off of our pension, our savings are untouched. We will travel to Spain for a month, South Africa (our third visit in as many years) for 3 months, and Zambia 3 months and then we are open. We hope to travel until we are physically unable to and find that you have a realistic view and plan in place and enjoy your ability to be honest in your videos and flexible.

We rarely use our phones in fact, we only do that if we see something spectacular on a day that we aren't filming and then we pull out our phone to capture. The main reason we don't use the phone is that the Frame Rate on there doesn't match all the rest of our captured content which means it can look juddery in the edit.

Another great video, guys! BRANSTON PICKLE - It can be bought at Tesco Lotus now called Lotus's. A lot of UK products because of the Ex Pat connection. I was amazed in 2013 when I visited Thailand for the first time to see the name Tesco. I moved here in 2015, and just love it. As imported food is expensive, it's for a birthday, Christmas or anniversary treat only. I have the jar on my desk as a pen holder. SECURITY - I have been more worried parking my car in Manchester, than 6 years living in China! BOOTS - Boots is very expensive in Thailand but does have some rarer drugs. Boots is actually owned by Wallgreens a U.S. company. AIR BNB - Many landlords are desperate for income. In Thailand residential condos are restricted by law from using Air BNB, but landlords will still break the law, hoping not to get caught! NEGS - There will be lots of negative and stupid people in the world. This video series IS for me! Best wishes from Bangkok
