Wow I never thought about Albania! Maybe I will take a trip there !

Unfortunately, Europe has become very expensive since Corona. In particular, of course, the accommodations in the big, well-known cities and hotspots. That's why many Europeans are now traveling to Southeast Asia.

Just my 2 cents. . . I really liked the gray hair on Amelia! Enjoy the videos!

Love the video! In Bangkok my replacement crown and all work equated to $490 USD. And that was 2 weeks ago.

Excellent review. Thank you guys!

I'm living in the Philippines on the SRRV Classic Visa. I am looking forward to your visit and the following videos. If you have any questions, look me up!

Please do the video on more things to do in the capital.

Good job! Still cheaper than most people's "normal" in the U.S.

There is a lot more to living in a country (comfortably) than the cost of living.

And Mexico has scorpions! Yikes. I hate Scorpions, the most feared "bug" for me. But every country except Antartica has scorpions but Mexico has the most.... Could be a deal breaker for me....I'll take spiders over scorpions. Even snakes. LOL. Cartels or scorpions? ummmm...

🥰 but you have your retirement money to back you up , don't you :) Now , its time for you two to go back to OLON-Ecuador 2024<3

As of end of June 2024, Albania has agreed to take the migrants that are being expelled Italy. Say hi to your new neighbors!

We just spent a month in Vietnam and really loved it. It’s very cheap to travel and live but very hot and humid. We started our trip in Danang and headed north from there. We never made it to hoochie man city because of the heat. Highly recommend Vietnam.

Good points. We spent 5 weeks in Andalusia in December/January and most of the time we had nice weather, and it is wonderful to swim in the sea and eat outside, walk outside in January. But in summer you won't generally see me in southern Europe, it just gets too hot for my northern skin. Andalusia, apart from some ugly mass tourism areas, is a very interesting part of Spain, with lots of culture, good food and wine and friendly people.

I've been following you on UA-cam for a while now and this is the first video that I have watched where you mentioned you followed a plant-based diet. I will be in Europe soon and also follow a plant-based diet. The rest of my family does not. I would be interested in any tips you have regarding how you find restaurants while traveling in Europe.

The cancelled NHR might come back. Two things that you missed. One, due to a couple of reasons, getting permission to move there is now really, really slow due to backups. Second, it's expensive and not always easy to find a place to rent almost anywhere in a decent town. If you want a vehicle and are willing to live in the countryside, it's really inexpensive but then you don't have easy access to services and kind of alone. I've even found places in France (obviously not Paris) at about half the price than in the desirable towns of Portugal!

Been watching your channel for years now. I always enjoy them ... and your travels. I think that many Americans ... dissatisfied with life in the US, take a lot we have for granted. I've traveled a lot in the past, got a job offer in the Land Down Under, been to Mexico multiple times, BUT, I've seen more than enough to convince me to never move there. A fun place to visit ... warm and friendly people .... as was your observation in Ecuador, but making any of those places "home"? No thank you. I love Italy ... the land of my ancestors ... on both sides. I would really love to spend the rest of my life there, BUT, I wonder how much I would be giving up in the US for a "better life" in Italy.

And no graffiti or track in streets and along highways

They were saying that it's the same as Mexico. They were saying that it's got only Mexicans I heard it said in the united states. They all speak Mexican.

Glad to know about safety

How did you manage to hook up with wealthy andrew who hooked up with wealthy famous Jim rodgers 😳 🤔.?

I wonder if you left the dogs behind if they could find you in Ecuador?

America has to be the most overall toxic country on earth, especially for children on social media.

Thank you for this "eye-opener". It would never have come to my mind but you are actually right. Apart from actual information, I appreciate how professional the two of you deliver it. I am tired of these "10 things I hate about etc............" which are all personal opinions about issues that all depend on what you expect. Which is different for everybody. Don't blame countries if they don't deliver what you expect.

I pay $800 a month in lodging (including internet and electric) for my large 1br apt in a small city (50k residents) in a US state where the climate is temperate. I'm 20-40 minutes away from various minor cities and 1 hr away from a major city with an international airport. Of course if i lived with a significant other, thatd be cut in half. So I dont see the advantage of this lifestyle or moving abroad for someone in my situation.

Thank you guys for sharing and please be careful, Bendiciones

Very interesting. As we're planning long term travel in Europe next year, the accommodations have been something of a revelation with costs averaging about $2,200 - $2,300 a month and that's off season, although we're seeing some more expensive places with no lower cost areas like Albania thrown in.

Kudos and thanks for the detailed info, well presented. It's difficult to explain to people that it's cheaper to be a slow-traveling nomad than to "just live" in the US. I've been doing it for 4 years now and I not only live cheaper but I live much better.

I just paid $680 for a crown in Michigan

As a plant based eater myself - as well as gluten free - I’d love to know how well you are able to eat out at restaurants with this way of eating? I’d also love to know some of your favorite recipes that you make at your air bnbs. I hear they are notoriously limited in kitchen supplies.

You are both too cute, that budget seems expensive to me, regarding the Rome Metro (or any European major city) it is targeted by pick pockets, just make sure you safe guard your wallets/purse

Upstate New York crown 1800!

My wife got a crown recently in the Boston area and it cost $2,000. A previous crown with root canal cost $3,000.

J.P. , You started your count with 6.3 months. Want to explain what that is ?

When you explained the cost of your crown, blew me away. Just had a root canal in US and a crown and is unbelievably expensive. Should have taken a vacation to Mexico since I am reviewing/ considering leaving the US even at 73 years old. Have reached my limit of patience here in the US with all that is happening. Having gone to school in Spain many years ago, is a consideration. Enjoy your videos but in a sense is frustrating in that I am not sure I will ever have the guts to actually leave the US at my age. But cost of living is a consideration because I would love to do more, sit in a park as I used to in Spain, walk to stores, travel but mostly feel safer. Thanks for your information. Watching you (ya'll) for a long time...Living in metro Atlanta so "ya'll" is really English. LOL>

I know from a previous video, you talked about finding a European city to make your home while away from Ecuador. I get you have to travel around before you find where you want to be, but if you do settle down someplace with occasional train (or inexpensive plane) travels to other countries, costs will go down. I was reading last night that rent in Italy is about 151% cheaper than renting in the U.S., with an overall cost of living that is around 45% less. I am sure these cheaper rents do not include Rome or Milan however!

Thank you for this detailed summary and sharing again on your website. I don’t usually post but wanted to say thank you for all your valuable information and transparency. Enjoying following you both as we get inspired and consider a similar journey. Best wishes! Thanks!!!

I want to leave this country and see what it's like to live abroad.

My former neighbors have been there for 26 years ... can't get him & his wife to return to VA home or stay more than 80 day. We gotta visit them while next door. Happy to see your different topics.

I was a german and almost died when visiting Durres as a teenager in 1985. Was swimming out in the sea to a local near cliff and as a stupid 17 year old total underestimate the current of the sea. Almost drowned. I still will never trust a calm looking sea again.

New subscriber here. Go Chiefs!

Wow, your wife is a real Fox…if makes me wonder what she is doing with a toad like you…you must have some attributes that are, as yet, not apparent…anyway, congrats on your catch! 😊 Great channel, btw, I watch it all the time. Also, I’m sure you are glad you got away from Denver which has really cratered due to homeless and city mismanagement.

Been there four times and cannot wait to return. As Audrey Hepuburn is reputed to have said: "Paris is always a good idea."

Great video

Maybe I would try to save a bit more money on housing and food.

When you go on an aeroplane get some antiseptic lozengers and suck a few. I do a lot of long haul and no longer have those cough/sore throat problems

I had a 3 tooth crown done in Belgrade, Serbia (took over a month for all) pulling bad tooth ..cleaning... everything cost total: $430. The dentist was amazing!

I spent a month in Albania and researched living there. Tirana is an exception to the rest of the country. I see so many channels that talk about how cheap a country is and the beauty but they dont talk about the government system, mainstream religion, infrastructure, transportation medical availability/quality or crime. You'd be best to consider those in Albania.

Seems like a bargain considering the rent on our average home in SoCal is almost $4,000! Love your videos, keep 'em coming! 🙂

Thanks for sharing the costs, it is good to have real numbers
