Sometimes we choose the adventure, sometimes the adventure chooses us. And you documented it very well my friend. Also agree with your views on who pulls the strings. Well said.
"Being in control of your time is freedom". Our days are numbered before that hard-drive between our ears goes dark folks. Keep filling it up with new experiences on your own terms. Enjoy the controls on your dashboard that actually work.
Great content and message. I just sold it all after helping my partner and mother pass very recently. In that it was very clear what’s important and what’s not. Both were amazing people. During their declines I was taking actions in my behalf to set the table for a feast of adventure, life, joy, happiness, freedom and intimacy. It’s also to honor them. To be awake, conscious of my time and life. To not be asleep living the life of most. To live my life fully. I’ve launched and I laugh every day, I’m so alive. Nothing is predictable. Nothing is routine. I love it. I’ve lived this way for months at a time previously but always had to return to work. No more. My time and adventures are mine. Some birds aren’t meant to be caged.
Amazing words and ideas there my fellow time traveler. Would love to see you interviewed some time...or otherwise share more details...because everything you said resonated deeply. Take care.
Glad it turned out okay! In Goa India I was stuck solo in massive crowds outside the airport for hours after a sudden transit/taxi strike that happened while I was flying in. It’s so true that you never know what will happen out in the world and you can only stay calm and stay safe! Cheers
Hi Chris , I think we must be kindred spirits politically. Would love to have a sit down one day over a beer, preferably on a beach in Thailand, and "chew the fat". You are so right! They only give us the illusion of control...take care my friend.
It will be helpful to show a date for when the (national) protest occurred. When filming I suggest for you to focus on some banners too, so that viewers can get an idea what the protest is about. You say that you agree with public demonstration but you never participate. If everyone thought the same, there would be no voice heard on the street. In most cases where corporations are innfluencing the government, very rare now for any public protest to be effective... unless you drive a tractor and unload manure outside a corporate building or two. Internet blogs/channels are as powerful to sway opinion as are public protests. Makes me wonder how much longer we are able to enjoy relatively inexpensive internet communication platforms and services. Enjoy your travels whilst you are still agile.
There is so much to see To get away from the politics, crime, anger, division I needed to get away from it all like this To disconnect from the matrix So true
Very interesting that it seems like a peaceful protest so far. We’re going to BA in March so hopefully things will calm down a bit. Btw, is the city of Buenos Aires in the meantime being kept safe and clean during these hard times?
Thank you for the video, I have some questions if you dont mind. Do you ever regret saving to retire early? Do you feel like you "missed out" to some degree in your younger years, because you saved so much? And do you ever get bored travelelling? I am looking forward to retire/cut back on work in my early 30s, but sometimes I feel like I would get bored...
This is a good question Making sure the income from investments are set up is so important Otherwise I would not have retired early I made sure debts were paid Emergency Fund was built Investments were paying income monthly Medical insurance in place Car sold All of that
@@RetireandGo Holy cow...when you say medical insurance it really smacked me...I assume you are not 65 and talking about Social Security. Securing health insurace before Social security would be an amazing topic...
Great vlog. Question. How easy or difficult is it to purchase things as an American using a credit card or Argentine pesos now? I just watched a vlog where a visitor from Ireland with an Argentinian spouse said a lot has changed since the election. She said BA is a great value for a tourist now, much easier to use credit cards or Argentinian pesos now but not US dollars.
I'm a US/UK dual-national. I have visited Argentina four times, twice in 2023. I plan on living in Argentina during northern hemisphere winters and in the UK during northern hemisphere summers when I retire at the end of this year. I'm a double ex-pat as I live and work in neither the US nor the UK. I visit the UK once per year. On the last three trips, I have been inconvenienced by British Rail and TfL strikes. However, as a Marxist, I always support industrial actions taken by the workers and consider any inconvenience as a small price to pay. The same applies in Argentina. During my last stay in the country (late September to late October 2023), I attended two Peronista rallies. It goes without saying that I am not a fan of Javier Milei!
