I 55 and don't want to wait until 67 to retire. Watching your videos to plan ahead. Thanks for all the great info.

[@nncadi1]

Never thought of searching an entire country instead of a specific city…this is a game changer…thank you so much!

[@GroundedLifeRetirementTravel]

Thanks!

[@ginarrylproperties2251]

I absolutely love your channel. My husband and I are taking a lot of your advice as we are planning our retirement now. Thank you both so much and keep up the great work.

[@GroundedLifeRetirementTravel]

Thank you so much!

Hi guys, we are Canadians and happy to find about your channel. The only only option for Canadians to get a credit card with cobranded hotel rewards is Marriott through Amex Canada. If you have Amex Canada Platinum card, you would be able to get Marriott gold status. We are happy to help and clarify 😊

[@GroundedLifeRetirementTravel]

Thanks for sharing your insights!

[@Annie-uo5mp]

Do the points expire?

[@IsaacNYC212]

I couldn't wait for this episode. I've never stayed in an AirBnB. 2:24 is the biggest fear

[@laura_and_shanman]

Hi!! Q: how do you decide if a city is a better 'hotel' city of AirBNB/VRBO city? Thanks!

[@GroundedLifeRetirementTravel]

It mostly comes down to the quality of apartments available at a good price after a search. For instance Japan they are hard to find, but in Malaysia they are everywhere. We should probably do a video with our findings so far!

[@ocean3237]

Sounds great. I want to come to Thailand for dental care.

[@rcfamilytravels]

Hello, I started following your channel. Great content! I wanted to know at what age did you retire early? Thanks!

[@GroundedLifeRetirementTravel]

Thanks! Mid 40's

[@susangarrard2753]

Allie can you do a video about traveling with jewelry. I don’t have a lot but what I have has sentimental value.

[@CandycaneBeyond]

Have you ever considered the AMEX Green card? I just got it and i like the perks of being able to get points on things outside of the AMEX ecosystem like campgrounds, ride-share, travel tours and so much more

[@permaculturemom9848]

Do you fly between countries or do you take the train? Do you ever rent cars? Do you have a list of cities where it is easy to day trip from?

[@phungn02]

What is the name of the hotel in Tokyo that is close to the Akihabara station you mentioned on the video? Also link to your video showing the hotel as well?

[@permaculturemom9848]

What are the best airports to fly from? Do you use points to fly as well?

[@liliindia]

I LUV your way with IHG so much, thank you

[@GroundedLifeRetirementTravel]

You are so welcome!

[@michelleulishney9524]

Rent in the US on Air BNB is well over $1000 for a basic place

[@FahlstromJohn]

I don't see the link in the description below

What all do you look for in a place to stay?

[@brendadavis7322]

Do you miss having friendships with people that you don’t have to say goodbye to in a few weeks?

[@kevinevers7031]

What does a day in your life look like traveling?
