Starting Life Over at 35 (moving abroad) | Living in Bangkok Thailand 🇹🇭 | อาศัยอยู่ในกรุงเทพฯ

I moved to England from France in my 30s, turned 40 this year, and heading to Japan. It takes courage to start over, love this video

Amen to that

Well done lady 👏 May I ask if you are moving to Japan or just visiting? I would love to move to Japan, but never been there before.

Me a week ago watching one random video: "Wow, she is so lovely." Me today: "Oh, she posted a video. This is a Sunday highlight." In all seriousness I so vibe with your journey and wish you so much peace and happiness 😊

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

YAAAAY! Welcome back!

🎉Yes girl.. I couldn't agree more. Her videos really do bring joy. She's a wonderful filmmaker.

[@LipstickLoco86]

I moved to Thailand in 2013 at age 26, and it completely changed my life. I was just looking at some Google photos from my adventures there. I stayed in Bangkok for about 2 years and have lived in two other countries outside the U.S. since (traveled to many more) and can identify with that feeling you said is hard to describe. I'm now 37 and I was thinking of moving back to Bangkok for a year or so, but wondered what it was like now. It was one of the most fun places to live back when! Anyway, though I have found a partner in another country that I plan to settle in next year (lol, I know!) All of that being said, I'm excited to follow your adventures in BKK!

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

Finding love abroad is so fun!!! Congrats you to, my dear!

[@Mfoukos]

A woman like you ,that she’s literally can have everything if she wanted ,moved to Thailand for the next step of your life ( doesn’t matter what it is ) ,is a huge respect 🫡🙏🏻

[@christinelyion8289]

I always thought am the only one struggling and feeling like my life is going nowhere. I will be turning 32 at the end of this year and I am so scared. I hope we all get to figure out our lives soon.

Sometimes I do wake up and just imagine what life would be like if I just packed up and started over ! This gives me hope so happy and proud of you ❤️

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

YOU CAN DO IT!!

[@audiob2027]

Don't forget to add the word "ka" at the end of phrases, words in Thai. It expresses politeness and goes a long way with Thais. "Chai ka" Love the content, thank you for sharing!

[@Keys2gorgeous]

I just turned 35, and I have been feeling the pull in my spirit to take this journey. I am looking to be in Thailand by December. I'm really looking forward to it. From your videos im gaining more courage.

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

You can do it!

Hey there from a person who is living in Thailand on the island for 15 years now. I understand the feeling of not knowing for sure and exploring, life is a process. Good luck!

I’m grateful God brought me your videos. I’ve been struggling with not feeling like I’ve done enough and where to go after college. Your presence has helped me understand that it’s okay not to rush and take the day as a glory. I’ll get to my goals but I don’t worry about them as frequently now. Thank you for showing your beautiful mindset on life and your walk with God. ❤

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

Thank you so much, Whitney. Your comment truly touched my heart. I'm so grateful that my videos have been a source of comfort and inspiration for you. It's a blessing to know that sharing my journey and mindset has helped you find peace in taking things one day at a time. Remember, it's perfectly okay to move at your own pace and trust in God's timing. Your goals will be achieved, and the journey there is just as important and beautiful. Thank you for your kind words and for being a part of this community. Stay blessed and keep shining. ❤

[@nikkiep23]

Happy Sunday! Yes l can totally relate with the feeling when living abroad. I lived in Europe for 7 years and loved it overall. Now that l'm in my late forties, l'm circling back to the idea of moving abroad again.

Speed Dating/Friending sounds like an adventure and would be an inspiration for introverts like myself. As a seasoned soul, I would love to see more networking and game night events that reflect on Grown and Sexy generation. I swear it's hard to find unless it's a dance scene.

Hello Antoinette, I recommend meditation. Not trying to change or take anything away, but you are in the land of a Buddhist country. It might be worthwhile. With Love and admiration😊

If you are a Christian I would caution against. Mediation is a new age practice and can be very dangerous spiritually and mentally. Meditate on the word of God- don’t empty your mind. Blessings ❤

There's nothing new about meditation. As a Christian how do you not meditate on Gods Word? ​@jenibo

[@danielcarlies5151]

Antoinette, try and see how your body reacts to no coffee ... even caffeine free coffee has caffeine. Sometimes, our body chemistry changes, and we can no longer drink what we used to drink. It could be the cause of anxiety . Tea has caffeine also. So try to use only flavored small brand caffeine free tea. Those actually have no caffeine .

[@claramcalister]

Really appreciate you especially your thoughts of our Lord. Thank you

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

You are so welcome

[@AM-kd2bg]

I'm so glad I found this video. It has reaffirmed my choice to move abroad for 2 months. I have always wanted to take the long way around the world but for one reason or another I let life, fear and the opinions of others to follow the "safe" route. At the beginning of the year I decided to chase my dreams fully and though I have not reached my goals I am not moving away from the track of starting my new year in a new country. Thanks again for posting this video of choosing to start over later in life.

The scripture murals, how about framing them with colored frames for a pop of color. I live in a different city than I grew up in. Most of my friends are through work.

Hi Antoinette, and Mom if you are in the comment section, (hey girl hey!) When you put the scriptures up, in my mind's eye I saw the "word" in black rimmed frames with white mats or some style of raffia matting like your new plant basket, but still black rimmed frames. And then they were tiered like stairs from left to right, going from top to bottom. Hope this helps, stay inspirational as usual.

Hey , I love your confidence to do something big like this ! I spent 2 years in China and I would say its one of those countries where you dont feel you belong due to looks and treatment of people a lot of times . Would you say Thailand is more friendly and acceptive towards foreigners if you are cool ? Or if you could tell me maybe some negative aspects that people dont talk about even though , of course every country has its own pros and cons . Thank you in advance and I do hope you realize your love towards you is enough to be fullfied and then from that point you can do whatever you want 🙏

I too felt lonely while traveling abroad during my 3-year sabbatical but the expats and locals I've met in the cities I was visiting definitely made the experience worth while to the point where I'd do it again, now. Almost two years later.... I wonder could my issue have been related the fact that I rarely traveled domestically growing up and that I've never traveled internationally until a few years prior to my sabbatical. Do people who grew up traveling all over the world from childhood to adulthood that decides to relocate internationally have the same feelings of fear, loneliness, etc? I figured because my experience was not something of the norm in my bubble that it's why I initially struggled but for someone where traveling and living abroad is common to them.... how is their experience.
