Could I ask ? Slab City or Castro Street, SF ? Thanks

I did it the other way. At 19 i moved to Portugal, learned to teach English as a foreign language and stayed for 15 years. I decided that with a young family, the money i was earning would never really go that far in terms of buying a nice home in a nice location, so i decided to move back to the uk aged 34. I know it sounds very "analogue" but i started making a list with pen and paper that i carried round in my pocket for two years from the moment i had the urge to move. Quite simple - pros vs cons. For me, the pros column was much longer and had loads of added notes on cost of living, house prices etc that I'd built up based on research at the time. There's a lot of hate for the UK at the moment (especially if you believe the stuff you read in the comments on KZbin), but for me, it was one of the best moves ever. So, after that ramble, what I'm trying to say is, don't over think it. Make a list and do a little research. Most importantly, think finance

Day 3 post (this) workout and my triceps are still on fire.......20mins work just fine - in fact 15mins would have still worked 👊🏼

This all depends on what you plan to do for income? If you're going to live in another country you'll likely need to speak the language, especially if you're going to be a personal trainer or joiner. You will also be competing with people who charge a lot less than you do in the UK due to the lower cost of living and perceived value of the skills. The uk state pension is paid to you directly, you won't have the option to trasnfer it. But its still paid to your uk account. What are your kids going to be doing for work there, assuming they even speak the language and/or can work on the visa. You can't just move to most countries and start working, you need to get a work visa, most countries don't hand them out easy.

I moved to Australia 20 years ago. Never looked back.

I have a small educational charity in Burma (donating school books etc to orphanages and monastery schools). But I'm not suggesting you go and live there! (civil war, hardships and a host of other reasons). But between my trips to Burma, I have a 'base' at Jomtien Beach, Thailand. My rented accommodation costs 164 quid a month, 200 metres from a 6km beach, beautiful weather, food etc etc. I spend no more than 700 quid a month 'all-in', (excluding costs for my work/travel in Burma).

Colombia. I'm 63 now and I left the UK in 2018 to live with my Colombian wife and her son. The pros: 1. The cost of living is about 1/4 of that of the UK. I bought a flat outright for cash and that cost me £38K in a lovely little town not far from the capital; Bogota with stunning mountain views. 2. The climate is whatever you want it to be, it varies depending on altitude. Bogota is 8500 ft above sea level and has temps of 19C during the day and about 10C at night and it's the same all year round. As a rule of thumb, the temperature increases by 2C for every 1000 ft drop in altitude. 3. The people are friendly and helpful. 4. Healthcare is good. 5. Crime is nowhere near as bad as the country's reputation would have you believe. In fact I'd say you now have more chance of being punctured (you know what I mean) in London than in Bogota. The cons: the roads are terrible and driving standards are shockingly bad. You may find that your credit card may be cancelled because of the reputation of the country. That happened to me even though every time I've had a card cloned it was in the UK not Colombia. It would be wise to learn Spanish as there are very few people who are fluent in English. There are 3 stages of visa: Immigrant, Resident and Citizen. An Immigrant visa lasts 2 years then you can apply for residency. After 5 years of residency you can apply for citizenship. I'm a Resident. I will apply for citizenship next year. You can have dual citizenship. There is a double taxation agreement with the UK so you won't be paying tax twice. The DIAN (HMRC equivalent) are only interested in money that enters the country, so you can have as much money as you like outside of the country and they're not bothered. I have recently retired but before I worked remotely as a software engineer working as a contractor for mainly British companies. In short I like it here and have no desire to return. My quality of life is better than if I stayed in the UK. Another country I would consider is Chile. It's more expensive than Colombia but still way cheaper than the UK but it is one of the most pro-British countries I have ever visited.

Mauritius is good from what I have seen . Just £1500 a month to move there

Anywhere where DIVERSITY hasn't occurred would be ideal.........

If you want to leave the UK you better set aside £15k a year for healthcare insurance...unless you have an EU passport.

If you want to live in another country you have to want to learn the language and adopt the culture. That doesn't mean not being English. But to expect people to work around you is both disrespectful and pointless.

Where can you go.. since brexit you now have the 90/180 day schengen rule, so europe is off the cards as a place to live. I've lived in the Netherlands for 15 years and had a blast..but post brexit.. living in an EU country is so much harder

Come with us to France, mate, we can buy a whole hamlet between us 😀

China

Ireland

East Germany, been here for 20 years, would never live in the uk again, love it here.

Anywhere in the far east, Europe has had it.

As some in their 40's I feel trapped. I need to leave but don't know where or how. I don't have a trade, i'm mainly customer service/ sales and have a police caution from being a stupid 20 year old. Not criminal record, police caution, I just don't want to live here any more.

Greenland

Unfortunately tehre is an agenda for world domination, so no country will be free of this.

I've started looking at Madeira - need plenty of money though

I left UK 12 years ago. Have lived in Belgium, Netherlands, Finland and Germany. All of these countries have a better quality of life than UK, I hope I never have to move back to UK. I liked NL best as it was easy to communicate and simple registration etc. If you rent vs buy, tax, need a visa etc just depends on your circumstances can’t provide general answers without knowing your situation, it’s different for all countries and all applicants, there surely will be options that suit any situation however.

Thailand. Beautiful weather year round, very welcoming and warm people, as low as £2k a year for rent - very cheap cost of living, very safe crime wise, amazing food, more relaxed pace of life, nomad and retirement visas available. Cons: Not allowed to take job of thai person (I think it's a good sign culturally though when a country puts their citizens first), road safety, air quality in certain places/times of year, culture shock. Positives far outweigh the negatives for me. I'm working on moving out there right now.

I visited Ireland in 2015. I would have recommended it as the people are so friendly. Unfortunately they are as bad if not worse than the UK.

Clearly not Yank-land. Try Canada or New Zealand.

i'm 63 now & travelled all over the world when younger, and lived/worked for periods in other countries, such as morocco and australia, but the fact is that many think that by going abroad they can 'start over', but the problem is that wherever you go you take your problems with you, plus you encounter a whole new set, so IMHO you need to be pretty stable before you even consider it as you don't know what you don't know, and there's a lot you will miss from home, even silly things, and after some bad days i remember crying and thinking what am i doing? lol, but that passes if you have the commitment, and a plan, so I'd recommend travelling/working abroad (and not as a tourist) to anyone, and if it doesn't work out you can always come back. In a nutshell id say for a big move with family and huge life changes, do your homework first, coz you don't wanna step off the plane and think 'now what', but you don't want either to be a 'cud'v/shud'v/would'v person.

I left another response, but I'm shadow banned for some reason :(

I have no experience living abroad, but there are pros and cons to every country. One tip that I could give is to use ChatGPT to help with your decision making. For example, write a prompt outlining what you are looking for in a new country (eg: weather, safety, tax friendly, reliable internet service, etc) and then get it to outline the pros and cons of each one. I love your workouts vids btw. Keep up the great content and you'll get more subscribers. Best of luck in your research! 🙂

nice

I like the mood lighting, its a home gym so might as well make it comfy. I like the timer too, I might have ro look into getting somthing like that.

What do you think of the mood lighting? I quite liked training without the bright lights, but I guess what's important is whether you guys like them....let me know 😉

I'll see how you're treadmill , if you find it's good I will probably get one
