Best video ever! So many layers to the plan and resources. Maybe we can afford more countries than we expected.

Romania is eu

05:05 3,5 USD from Noi Bai to Hanoi center by taxi (30 Km)? It must be a mistake, I never paid less than 15 USD and that was long time ago.

Not sure what you’re budget is but it would be easy to spend months in Peru: Lima, Cusco, Nazsca lines region, Lake Titicaca etc. Then go to Bolivia because that is a country you don’t know should make your list (if you like mountains). Also, everyone should give India a chance because it is awesome. If you can handle Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia then you can handle India.

Interesting video, finance is my favorite hobby and I enjoyed that aspect. That said, I've done limited traveling abroad, never in Asia or Australia, but I find it exhausting! I'm "only" 63 and in great shape, but after 10 days, I'm ready to get home. I try to speak the native languages (French and Spanish only), but that feels like work after a while as well. Seems I'm alone in this perspective, but good for you for traveling so efficiently!

Im wondering if it might be more cost effective with regard to health insurance if i dropped Medicare and the Medigap supplement (total currently $315/month) and instead purchased international health insurance? I'm 72 and pretty healthy.😊

Hey guys, if you could only choose one for a few days stay between Copadoccia or Split, which would you choose please?

Do we need to watch the whole commercials for you to be paid? If so, I'll start watching the commercials😊

I had dental work (crowns, permanent bridge, root canal) done in mexico, and was very satisfied, looking forward to the Antalya dental vid. P.S. Your videos are the best ive found so far, very practical and informative. Need to do a deep dive binge watch😊 Hoping, after hip replacement recovery to slow travel nine months, then return to the US to babysit my two great nieces in the summers. Thanks so much for your awesome videos, which will definitely make travel time easier. Thinking of starting a KZbin of my own called Tia's Travels😊

I like your videos about Turkey but as a Turkish person(i used to live in Istanbul but now i live in Usa) i need to add some points. It is not really right to say that Turkey is Middle East. It is a very controversial subject actually. Turkish People usually prefer to call themselves Euroasians or simply Europeans (which might be debetable but that is how we define ourselves). Another thing about Istanbul is yes the city has a horrible traffic but since it is a really huge city (apart from tram and buses) locals use subway a lot. It actually surprised me that you did not really mention that or even try that. Ps: If you'll ever go back to Istanbul again try to visit the hip Asian Side Moda. It is in Kadikoy district. And in the European side Nisantasi-Tesvikiye area has a beautiful city park called Macka Park where young ones and locals spend a lot of time. I love Prince Islands too. Take care guys💖🧿

I agree with you about Palermo. We were there for 30 days.

Big fan of your budget travel videos. You have provided some well advised travel hacks and tips that can be applied for all. I understand your past travels of Italy were mixed and at times underwhelming, but to compare Tropea and the Cinque Terre to not wanting to go to the Amalfi Coast is a miss. As all of Italy has become, the timing of when to visit is the key, like many other very popular sites. The Amalfi Coast and Santorini are two of the most unique and beautiful destinations a traveler can experience. Hope you’ll find your way back to Italy one day and give this awesome country with such varied landscapes and sites to visit another try. We’ll be going for our 10th time this Fall and still only scratching the surface of this diverse country(history, culture, food, people, landscapes).

What kind of computer or tablet to you carry with you to do editing, researching, etc? Or do you do any of that from your phones? Thanks😊

love your videos - they are very inspiring! I would really appreciate some bookmarks though, even if I listen to the whole video it lets me know more about that you're going to be covering more specifically than your title ever can. cheers!

Separate finances not at all strange😊

Added and we fly over in July!

Do you tip for things like haircuts and massages and food servers in other countries like we do in the US? Thx😊

thank you for your content. this is a 30 minute video. i wish there was easier breakdown, time dots to show which cities you are talking, where people can quickly find which cities you are discussing.

Finally a Review we were looking for!!! Beer! Street Food! Fun! Thank you from mid fifty’s Canadian 🇨🇦 Travellers. 😎

Absolutely loved Galway. Dublin was nice but didn’t hold a candle to Galway or Cork. Guinness beef stew and seafood chowder are 2 dishes I cannot wait to try again. Headed back next April but will drive and see so many extra places

Great information - thanks.

Great info! I just recently discovered your channel and very grateful👍🙏

The cruise cost won’t be halved, however, unless a solo traveler is lucky enough to find a solo traveler cruise🙃

I went to Türkiye last year around October, it was just a 2 weeks. We visited 4 cities, for me it was to short. How long you recommend to stay in Türkiye to be able to enjoy this beautiful country?

I was wondering, during your stay in Türkiye, how long did you stay overall?

At the 3:00 mark, there is a Tim Horton's there at the train station??! Wow! A little piece of Canada a long way from here! Shocking. Your costs are always very affordable and certainly make me think that all of this is very manageable at $1789 for a month (even two years ago)! The breakdown is very useful as always. Cheers to both as always.

I am catching up with some older videos from you two. Alicante has recently come to my attention and I wanted to see if you guys have been - and you have! I can see how your video production skills have changed in the past two years. But this is excellent quality. Spain definitely looks like a place where I can spend some more time. Thanks for these past efforts. Cheers!

Just made it to Kotor for a couple of days.

Albania

Jeezus, you two! THREE KZbin commercials in the first 13 minutes?!? Very annoying!

Wish you guys had included general cost of living in your favorite places. I’m single, 72, and looking for a place under $1500/month. Or at least define what is ‘very reasonable’ to you two? I’m guessing about $2500-3000/month? Anyway, very informative video otherwise. Thanks😊

You guys are so awesome and informative. Thank you for what you're doing. As you mentioned your coffee places, I am a bit of a coffee freak so each time before I travel somewhere one of the first things I look up is 'specialty coffees' on my google maps. A coffee barista girl in Verona told me that there is an app to install called 'European coffee trip'. These coffees are not cheap though, possibly 4-5 Euros. I found a great coffees in Split, Croatia and in Budapest, Hungary, Munich, Budva, Old Town (Casper Bar) etc. They've got many places like that in Istanbul. So, here we go - time for me to visit. Happy travels!

Super Excited to see this video of Portugal! We took our first trip in April & Loved Portugal! Looking at areas for our retirement. Appreciated hearing options for those that just don't drink alcohol. We flew into Lisbon & took the train to Albufeira, for 5 days in the Algarve. Did not rent a car. Day trips to Carvoeiro for the boardwalk & boat trip dolphin watching & cave tour. Took bus' north for 2days in Obidos. We also found the Rapida Verde bus from Campo Grande to Obidos! Worth it for us, as we stayed over & enjoyed the quiet evening in the beautiful village! Then 6 days in Lisbon with day trips to Tomar, Sintra & the coast. Amazing trip, planning our return trip!

Checking this out now - two years ago. Look at all that baggage that you are carrying!! Still...this place and food looks amazing

Thank you for your tips and ideas. For withdrawing money from ATMs, we've had the best luck with the Charles Schwab debit card because they refund the ATM fee for every transaction at the end of the month, saving us tens of dollars.

Loved my Hot rod tour in 2018!!

Which company does Brian use for health care if I may ask? Thank you again!

This was so helpful to me as we are considering living in Greece as option for retirement. The cons are great to know! Thank you Brian and Carrie!

Very informative, and now we're making plans to visit BOTH Valencia and Alicante soon. Thank you! 🙂

Again perfect timing this video. We ccmpleted our Norwegian Fjords cruise and currently staying in Budapest, Hungary until end of May. Booked a direct Ryan Air flight to Faro from here for 2nd of May. Now in the process of booking accommodation between Faro and Lagos, Airbnb search showing quite a few different properties scattered around on different towns along the beach. Of course the rates have gone up a lot in Portugal in general. One question how long you rented the car when you were there in Lagos ? Did you rent entire your stay and dropped back in Faro airport ? What kind of options for rental car pickup and drop from Faro Airport. Which rental car company you folks used and any specific rental sites to book ?

We are sooooo looking forward to our 3 month stay this coming winter. We are starting in Armação de Pera the Lisbon, Coimbra, Porto, Nazare then back to Lisbon. Thanks for the tips.

A good website that we use for planning bus and train trips is rome2rio

Awesome video thank you!

Thank you

Yeah but I travel for over 3 months at a time. A carry on doesn’t provide enough room for that length of time. That’s not even including the souvenirs and things I’ve purchased abroad.

I’ve tried buying a Starbucks gift cards but I have been told they only work in the country I buy it from (example Spain, Bali, Malaysia)

We loved Sintra. The highlight for us was Quinta da Regaleira. It was incredible. We also loved Coimbra for all the history.

We retired about a month ago, took a 14 day transatlantic cruise to Rome, spent 2 weeks in Rome and head to Florence tomorrow for a month. You have been such an inspiration on our journey to slow travel which we are just beginning. Thank you for sharing your experiences and encouragement. Sending much love, thanks and admiration to you both.

Hi visiting Florence in two weeks time. Could you tell me the area you had your accommodation in, as it looked lovely thanks

Hi Carrie, which e-sim provider is good. We are going to travel turkey and Greece for a month in September. Thank you very much for your time!😊danielle
