Is it easy to find gym in siargao? Or its more like Vietnam ?

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@brujulatropical There is this for example: maps.app.goo.gl/ig4usGe2AxgYEHyy9?g_st=ic :)

[@StarryVids]

How do you access finances? Do you have a bank account or do you use a debit card that is accessible / usable in all the countries which you travel? 2nd question: do you need to know the local language to live in these five places on your list? Can you explain how do you communicate with people there?

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@StarryVids I use Revolut, the card works well everywhere :) And no you don't need to, English is enough. There's a bit of language barrier with the locals especially in Thailand & Vietnam. Philippines & Bali are better with that!

Hello, I would like to interview you about digital nomads life while you in Thailand , thank you?

[@tankcb]

As a Thai I'm glad that you liked Koh Phangan and specifically Chaloklum, very peaceful part of the island with great diving trips to Sail Rock

[@JooseTheNomad]

Glad to hear😊🙏🏽

[@josuesoto7817]

whiile watching this I just twanted to cry, im 28 and there is nothing I want more to travel the world, I am studyng and as soon as I Can I will be able to achieve my dream.

[@SebastianGarcia-jx8lv]

I was in your same position, hated my life for 5 frickin long years till I learnt some skills to work remotely and now I travel the world 365 days a year, it's completely worth the hustle.

I just discovered your channel and love it. Really well put together. As a 55 year old married man I love your budget breakdowns for the areas you spend time.I also like that you include cost for living a healthy active lifestyle. With retirement approaching I can see my wife and I enjoying our good health in many of these areas. Keep up the great work and live life boldly.

[@sparcousa]

Based in KL is a great option. From there you'll have access to all the tropical islands on fhe East and West within 4 - 6 hours drive or less than an hour flight. Not forgetting the highlands and national parks nearby.

[@JooseTheNomad]

Sounds good!

[@Mjolnir1011]

Thank you for the great video which is helping me plan. Also great to see a seemingly happy young man experiencing the world and living the dream. Best wishes. I hope your prosperity is equal to the positivity you are putting out.

What is your plan to achieve it?

[@Eda-Gunes]

I really appreciate that you share both the good and the bad. And instead of saying just cheap or afforable you give budget range. It really helps people to visualize what it would be like to live there. Thank you! I am also starting my KZbin journey recently and this has been one of the reasons why. People just can't find good information anymore.

Thanks for all the updated good information. Da Nang, Vietnam was a great place but I would recommend Hoi An as well. It’s a short distance from Da Nang and I found a great room for $15 / night in the garden city area closer to the ocean. They also had bicycles that came with the stay. I enjoyed your vlog and all the amazing places. Thanks for making Relevant material.

[@JooseTheNomad]

I think Hoi An is good to visit but not sure if it's good for longer stay? Thank you🙏🏽

[@skyhawk2311]

Love Hoi An!

[@shannonhutchinson4084]

Just came back from Hanoi and Hoi An. Both were great. I would keep Cambodia in mind too.

[@edwardlaurent6250]

Thanks for a deeply thought-out video. Seeing this as an Indonesian brings a lot of dilemmas. I just came back from Bali last month and even without visiting Canggu the traffic was bad enough around the city areas. A big issue that's going on around Indonesians is that the locals depend on tourism but these past few years I think tourists' respect towards locals (anywhere in the world, not just Bali) has gone down when they're on vacation, acting like if you got money you can do anything. Digital nomads are different, you guys live and breathe where you stay but man, tourists. Especially around beach areas anywhere in third-world countries, unbelievable. Not to say I had any problem with tourists when I was there though (foreign tourists I met were mostly nice and polite). That being said, other than outlier tourist behaviors, Balinese are getting worried about foreign investments stomping on locals and the "hub for digital workers" concept feeds into this and there doesn't seem to be any solution yet to the living cost and property prices going up. Any takes on this?

[@ataxerxe]

I agree and I say the same as a Brazilian. We have many tropical paradises still hidden from the general public. I hope they stay far away in Asia!

[@PureshowGaming]

Kuala Lumpur is crazy. I was living with 450$ a month (250 for rent, 200 for food, transportation and hang out). I was living in 136m² condo with 50m long swimming pool in front of the Sentral Station of KL.

im in nha trang vietnam right now. its my third city in a three month. first two were da nang and da lat, first impression about nha trang is that it’s much cleaner and a bit cheaper than da nang. both in foods and apartments you should definitely visit it if you haven’t been here

[@JooseTheNomad]

I have been there and definitely prefer Da Nang :)

[@jasondavies8722]

siem reap, good internet, cheap accommodation, cheap beer, cheep food and easy visa which a lot of people seem to over look

[@JooseTheNomad]

What's nice there?

[@brosdakhun]

Siem reap have Angkor wat . Sihanoukville have Koh Rong , Kampot have paper

[@doug5246]

Siem Reap is a charming, smaller and laid back place with tons of tourist infrastructure and guest houses where you can get a nice private accommodation. Cambodians are super kind, humble. It's very inexpensive there. I'm convinced that I could get an annual retirement visa if I asked. I'm thinking about it.

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@doug5246 Sounds good but what about the lifestyle there? Beach? Gyms? Activities? Food?👀

[@denisehoshor5298]

Same. Can’t go without great gym or beach.

[@mifluent]

Sooo...this is the best concept (by far) I have ever seen on youtube! Showing places including budgets and bottom prices. I really don't like the vids of the US guys as the country is too expensive in terms of rents and eating out. I love that this guy see the prices like 1-2usd and 6-7usd. So it gives me the real idea about pricing in those beautiful places. ❤️

[@JooseTheNomad]

Thanks so much! I'm glad to hear you liked it🙏🏽

[@mifluent]

@@JooseTheNomad thanks for highly valuable information. Do you think is there any chance to find even cheaper rents than on Airbnb? I usually start with Airbnb or hostels and then switch to longer term rent from locals. Usually for 1/3-1/2 of the Airbnb price.

[@mifluent]

@@JooseTheNomad Btw is there still any chance to start own Airbnb businesses or hostels in Bali? Or is the limited Bali space already too saturated and competition tough?

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@mifluent yes for sure!

Koh Phangan is not cheap anymore , lived there long time. Psytrance heaven. Đà Nẵng is my favorite place in Vietnam. 🙏

Hey, great video:) I was wondering what is the name of the AirBnB in Bali at 9:57 and 9:26 ?😊

[@YASERTORA]

I've been looking for the best places for digital nomads outside of Southeast Asia because I wanted a different vibe but there is literally no place that compares to Southeast Asia, there are so many good places around the world But you will not find luxury like Southeast Asia, and if you find something close to it, its ridiculously expensive. There are some places in Latin America, Turkey... but they are still very far..

[@JooseTheNomad]

Yeah I feel the same! Only Cape Town & Playa Del Carmen seem to be comparable but still not the same as here haha..

[@SabrinaEddam]

I live in Da Nang and Love it ! But decided to leave the country because the way the drive here they are just crazy. ! I was going at Fitness Elite, expensive but have everything, ice bath, sauna, 25m pool, very luxury and cool place. And here, I went to a lot a Digital Nomad Meetup, and till now is the best place If found in Asia, with open minded people but missing some spirituality side here. Thanks for the video.

[@JooseTheNomad]

Yeah I just found that gym too, excited to try it out next month! And yeah they drive a bit furious hahaha. Where did you find thr meetup?

[@taramceown2919]

Very informative detailed yet brief and just the basic food shelter active and cost list

[@JooseTheNomad]

Thank you🙏🏽

[@Busybeeee]

This is a Great list but mostly focussed on Southeast Asia. South America is a wonderful place for affordable options for location independent workers. Although I live in North America, I try to spend my money in countries where it will go further. I look for the same commodities that I have in North America but for a fraction of the price. That not only means cheap but reasonable quality of life, including safety, and health. Water is a big deal for me. I don’t drive and I don’t like having to carry big jugs of drinking water to my accommodation regularly. From my experience delivery services abroad are often unreliable. So I found a great place with healthy drinking water and all the commodities I need for the fraction of the price which is Bogota Colombia. What is great about Bogotá is that you can actually get a residency visa if you invest in buying a property and the cost of properties is again a fraction of what you would pay in my country. Thanks again for this video.😊

[@JooseTheNomad]

Thanks! Yea for sure many cheap options there but does the lifestyle compare? There's no ocean & beach either? Way less safe than here? It's not by accident that I have stayed in this area for so long☺️

[@XiXai]

⁠@@JooseTheNomadYeah, by accident as it’s the places you can afford. Colombia is to expensive for him. There is not way he will find such a life style in any Latin America countries for the price you pay in SEA! I’ve been to both and obviously not comparable.

[@gonsleiva3595]

Canggu was amazing but the excessive traffic, overcrowding and beach pollution is starting to make it less appealing than other parts of Bali like Ubud or Uluwatu

[@JooseTheNomad]

Yeah I'd love to live in Uluwatu if it just developes a bit more!

[@danielbowater1585]

Canggu, Bali is definitely more livable. It has so much to offer. Unfortunately, it's getting more expensive and busier. So if people who want to come are okay with that, then it's definitely the best option for a longer stay.

[@JooseTheNomad]

Yes exactly! And the food is still very affordable in Bali, same with renting a scooter. Accommodation just comes down to knowing how to find a good deal😊

[@BhupatOad]

Love how 4ra keeps everything transparent, makes me trust betting with them more.

[@sorekara313]

Yes, I agree. Among them, Canggu is still the best, although it may be overrated. Not only does it offer a wide range of food choices, accommodations, communities, and activities that can be tailored to different preferences and budgets, but most importantly, it is currently the largest digital nomad hub, allowing us to have a broader exposure in business.

[@VirtousStoic]

@JooseTheNomad yes because think of it this way. People don't watch ur type of content once they add it to favorites and rewatch it multiple times a year etc. So when you put timestamps you let them remeber what they liked or needed in the video months later. I know youtubers care about watch time for metric. But trust me timestamps are very good. Don't take my opinion though check with chatgpt

Regarding Kuala Lumpur, I've been there and I was pleasantly surprised as well. My only disagreement is with Canggu, but I'm a Bali hater so don't judge me haha

I hear a lot about poisonous things out there but maybe it’s not so bad?!

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@Spiritandvitalityplus50 nice, hope you can do it soon! No you rarely come across those things here, it's not like Australia haha. I only once saw maybe a cobra in Ubud in a jungle resort😄

[@fulvio.leandro]

Hi Joose, nice video, can you tell me which of these places is easier to eat without garlic or onion? I am allergic and traveling a lot I have always had this problem.

[@JooseTheNomad]

Thanks man! Hmmm I'm not sure actually sorry maybe Google will know which cusines use them the least?🤔

[@fulvio.leandro]

@@JooseTheNomad technically all kitchens use them. but in some places I found it quite easy to have them removed, in others it was impossible and I lost weight 🤣

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@fulvio.leandro hahah yeah I have to say it can be a bit hard to communicate in the restaurants in all these places😀 For me being vegan, it's sometimes impossible to explain that in restaurants.. Like they don't understand what is "vegan", then I try to say no egg, no milk. And get a dish with cheese still in it for example😂 In that way Bali and Philippines maybe a safer bet for better communication!

[@fulvio.leandro]

@@JooseTheNomad ahahah top! Thank you! Where are u now?

[@homelesspets9234]

Brief and to the point, thanks! What do you think about Lombok comparing to Bali?

[@JooseTheNomad]

Thanks! I actually never been to Lombok yet, will check it out next summer!

[@sparcousa]

I prefer Lombok than Bali tbh, less tourists, no traffic, better wider roads, much more cheaper. Just need to know where you wanna base, with the expat crowds or away from them 😅

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@sparcousa I couldn't find a nice place to stay with a makes sense price is Lombok. What's cheaper there?

[@sparcousa]

@@JooseTheNomadif you wanna be in a mini Canggu (catered for westerners and where most of the digital nomads, surfers are based), Kuta Mandalika is the spot, with white sandy beaches and tons of empty ones as well. From there can always do day trips to the waterfalls up North, island hopping on the West and East coast, and then there's the famous Gilis where most Bali goers ended up to party, all within roughly 2 hours away from Kuta Lombok. There's Senggigi as well, a coastal with black sand town when tourists hang out it's to the Gilis where people hang out as well. Expenses over there is half of what you'll spend in Bali. And oh, to answer your question, what's your budget like and how big of a room/villa you need?

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@sparcousa yeah thanks! Just to say, I love Bali for so many things tho it's not just about the negative of having lots of tourists. But yeah I want to see how it is in Lombok too and just need a clean nice room in a guesthouse, nothing fancy but decent in a nice area :)

[@dabdura17]

The place where you are is tribal canggu I was here a beautiful coworking space and hostel

[@JooseTheNomad]

Yes it's a nice place😊

[@totalconcretegeelongvic]

Thanks so much🙏🏽

[@garfieldmtify]

WONDERFUL VIDEO!! ...are those USD prices you are quoting?

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@garfieldmtify thanks so much! Yes USD

[@garfieldmtify]

@@JooseTheNomad No, thank you! Not sure if have an answer for this question: I’m massage therapist by profession with a newer focus on content creation. In your view of all the places you have spent time in or visited where might you say would be great locations for filming (shooting) content? For example various exercise 🏃‍♀️, movement therapy, interviews and exercise/training facilities. Thanks so much!!!

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@garfieldmtify It depends what kind of places you want exactly. Canggu has the most facilities :)

[@nashwahussein1306]

Great work here!! Thank you! ❤❤ But as a girl travelling alone, would all these destinations be quiet safe for me?

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@nashwahussein1306 thank you🙏🏽 I would think so, using normal caution

[@CherryBlossomskt]

Great video.

[@JooseTheNomad]

@@CherryBlossomskt thanks!

[@illmatixx91]

Excellent camera quality. Sir, which camera setup are you using for your videos and drone footage? Thanks 🙏🏽

[@pennyc8252]

Just came back from Hanoi planning to go to Da Nang soon

[@JooseTheNomad]

Nice! Enjoy🙏🏽

Verification process in 4RA so simple, got my account ready in no time

[@bananaram7611]

Food cost are ten to twenty percent more than the video suggest to eat at higher quality restaurants on Koh Phan Nagn. Rent starts at $420 or 15000 thai baht / month for basic single accommodations + utilities. also, If you're over 55 ,expect to pay three to five times more for insurance from websites as he mentioned. I have lived in Thailand for nearly ten years, But this is my first time to visit the iron and mentioned above in High season. Guys, European women who come to visit Koh Phan Nagn drop-dead gorgeous! Be nice of course, and approach with authenticity.

[@savagebyreason]

One of my favorite coworking spots Tribal 👌🏽

[@JooseTheNomad]

Yea I really liked it too🙏🏽

[@KyleJess]

You mentioned it’s difficult to find digital nomads in Da Nang. We’re currently touring Vietnam, and looking to find other like minded people. Curious to know if there’s any hidden gem spots in Da Nang, you found, that we could meet other nomads? Or if there’s any specific cities in Vietnam, that you found a good nomad community?

[@JooseTheNomad]

I met other digital nomads on the beach and cafes on the Mỹ An area😊

[@JooseTheNomad]

For example there was often people working on their laptops here: maps.app.goo.gl/tfooSebo3vKrs2Wj8?g_st=ic
