Great video! And playlist. I'm here all these years later. I'm very interested on slow travel as a way to find a new place to live. I'm gonna search your videos to see if you have info about teaching English. I think that would be a great avenue for me.

Thank you so much for these real talks! Living in the U.S. also and having an 8-5 jobs, very stressful for both work and life (with such high cost of living) and also feeling life is so boring with same day everyday. I thought about moving to somewhere cheaper in Asia that’s how it brings me here to your videos! And I found they are super helpful! Wondering how much money do I need to save to travel for living tho and also worry about the retirement 🙃 oh and also want to ask which country do you think it’s the most affordable and comfortable & safe? I thought about Thailand but watching your video and seems like Malaysia is super nice too. Also heard nice things about Vietnam.

Hey Vivi! I'm glad my videos have been inspiring you to think about alternatives to your life. If you want to lower your cost of living and are looking for more excitement, I agree you need to leave the US ASAP. It's hard for me to recommend you a country since I don't know you, I myself would probably go for Thailand. Anyways, the best way to go about it is to first visit the places you're thinking about living in, to see which one is the best match for you. Best of luck and thanks for watching. :-)

No. I visit Egypt quite a bit and I am all too aware of how noisy Cairo can be. I often stay in Maadi and Zamalek and i usually choose an airbnb that is more quiet neighborhoods. It can be expensive so if you have the money to spare it has proven to be so much more worth it for me, especially, when i need to be up super early for excursions in the dessert. Ive seen that apartment on Airbnb, though the price is a great budget price, that patio with all the tall buildings with windows surrounding it does not lend to a relaxing, peace of mind stay in my humble history of Cairo travel experience. Cute though. Real cute lol

if you open it the right way, the fetus will be on top, then the yolk, then the hard white part at the bottom... i usually eat 2 at a time... i could go 3 but it raises your blood pressure to your head when you eat too much... and i usually don't eat the hard white part cause it's just like rubber... and at least put salt in there before you eat the whole thing... 😂😂😂😂😂

plastic utensils are preferred because they're disposable and unlike metal ones, we have to worry about who used them and how they cleaned them. We are very used to using spoon and fork together hence it's easy to use the plastic ones too. You can actually use your fork for the sausage. no need to cut it or use your hand. I hope you had a good time.

Funny, Cebu city was my first city I visited in Phils. I rented a car for 3 months and toured the entire city and island using my cellphone for navigation. I stayed in random pension houses and hotels. My favorite Hotel was Bai Hotel in Mandaue area. I met the owner who graciously upgraded my room to the penthouse suite. I also enjoyed Naga city, Argao, Moalboal and many other amazing spots. I prefer Cebu city over Manila City. I found it easier to navigate by car

Headache could be from the air pollution. I am scouring blogs for more info on this. The air pollution in Cairo and Aswan is reported to be extremely high and often in dangerous levels, but rarely someone mentions it. That is very odd. Egypt is on my bucket list since high school and I simply must go, but the air pollution freaks me out.
