Living the NEW American Dream... of leaving America

My wife and I don't want to wait to live out our bucket list so we left the rat race to explore the world with our family.

"It's hard to take advice from people that live lives that I don't want to live." Man, I felt this.

[@f4llenstarr]

Yes so true, the majority of people are sheep and they tend to give advice!

[@landrover827]

Been living this video since 2016, and it’s 100% the best thing I’ve ever done.

[@blue18404]

Where did you go?

[@LifeAfterDeathTube]

leaving America is indeed the new American dream. you just changed the way I think about the world.

[@garyrobinson8665]

My best friend worked his butt off spent most of the day in work and went to university in his 40s at the same time to get a degree. He travelled once a year for a two week holiday every year. He did try and enjoy life as much as possible but he passed away suddenly a few months ago at 52. Sorry but I don't want to be like this. I dont want to wait till I'm 65 to enjoy life I might not even reach it.

[@paris8168]

Looking forward to watching your adventures. My lease ends in August and I’m considering leaving the US as well, at least for a while. Life is too short to wait for retirement.

[@alans.philippines]

Just came back from Thailand. OMG WOW what a country. The FREEDOM.

[@marcmac8944]

Love it brother! This is called Real Freedom my man! Enjoy your journey.

[@Gophiahenry1]

Man I could listen to this all day everyday

[@seamusmoran4776]

Your story is inspiring, and your background so close to mine. I had a troubled past but I am now sober, studying CS in school with a few years left. You live the life I dream of, and help me to stay motivated. Thank you.

[@Smarterthanyou-mthrfkr]

I was born in England. I moved to south Africa, then Texas. Now my wife and are thinking about Vietnam travel next.

[@tonedeaftakes]

Dorian, I found you while the "people that live lives I don't wanna live" were telling me to learn new skills and I thought about coding. Very quickly did I give up on learning code. I'm still lost and have no idea of how I'm gonna make it to tomorrow or the day after that - let alone to my dreams... but hearing about your journey and your realness are just so fucking invigorating and inspiring. All the luck to ya and the family. Thank you for your content.

[@KirillPopov-bc5ld]

this guy is about to change my life in 2 videos lmfao

[@Lov17213]

I think they are negative because they are jealous that you are trying to do what you want to do, not what you are told you have to do. ❤I wish you the best. Remember to work hard, it won’t be easy and there will be times you are afraid and tired, push on. Don’t give up. I love what you’re doing and I’m planning to do the same thing soon.

[@ericb4898]

Best video you have ever made. I have been a fan for 3 years. A retrospective video at this level shows huge development.

[@aziinnn]

I loved how pure and authentic this video was

[@giovaneescalonilla7148]

I've been following your channel for some time and you have no idea how much this video touched me, it takes a lot of courage and strength to embark on such a great journey, especially with your whole family, thank you very much for showing us that it's possible and inspiring us to be who we really are, a big hug from Brazil and good luck, we will continue to accompany you

[@derpderka3688]

Love the video Dorian! Happy to see you and the family enjoying life the way you want!

[@Gaiafreak6969]

Hey Dorian, I just turned 32 and love your channel. I feel like I'm just starting my life just like you said you did at my age. I'm moving from slacking off to moving to my goals of having a family and being able to support them. You're an inspiration and I push even when it's hard. My journey is taking me to Vietnam and China and it's way more financially feasible, safe, with family values being the norm. I look forward to watching the journey you and your family take.

[@Smarterthanyou-mthrfkr]

32 is the magic age. What you do next will shape your destiny. Keep going and enjoy!.

[@positivevibrations5103]

Rooting for you man! Happy to see you taking risks and making the most of your life.

[@aik1]

Very nice. I agree with you, Dorian. Unfortunately, not everyone can have that privilege to work remotely anywhere in this world. Most companies still require "work from office" at least 2-3 days a week for whatever reasons 😪

[@HE360]

For me, this is the video of the year!

[@richardhaynes1127]

Excellent video. Loved the wisdom and lessons behind it!

Highly wise words, through & through, friking inspiring, man, you got me really thinking and reevaluating, stay safe, have fun..

[@jonathan.watson]

Respect dorian, glad to see you are doing what you want to do and chasing your dreams. I followed you in learning to code, and i'm going to follow you again on something similar. I want to do a van conversion and then convince my boss to make me fully remote. Then I have the ability to be anywhere.

[@Johnny-wz5bh]

We don't know when we're gonna die,so live,just live.Congratulations to you sir for taking the first step.

[@catchingupproductions]

Fantastic video brother 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 free your mind.

[@evomatic5530]

I started following your channel back in 2021 when I was first started learning to code. I have now been working professionally as a software engineer for over 2 years! It is great to see where you started and where you are now! Feel free to contact me if you decide to visit Tokyo Japan (Where I currently live). I would be happy to show you and your family around!

[@eddiejaoude]

love that..."don't wait for some day" !

[@wisdomcards7695]

Unlearning and letting go...and actually living your life out loud. That takes a lot of courage and can be interesting and exciting. Respect you for getting off the hamster wheel this system feeds off of, it can suck the life and soul out of you. All the best to you and your lovely family. 🪷

[@user-ht1jg4qz3h]

THIS vid pretty much explains why i left europe as well going to asia, man it was tough to leave on so many ways, i lost my flight to bangkok, was half my month salary for the ticket, then had to save money for another month, man it ws a struggle but when i sat on the plane in the night, i cried silently grateful i made it out, and it only got better and went up from that moment, like im like went from 10% happiness in western europe to 40% in eastern europe and now i have been steady at a 77% happiness on average in asia !! if u dont get that huge , i dont know what to tell u....

[@jason_k86]

Keep up the great work on the videos! I just quit my job at a family business as I was getting more and more miserable as time went on because I wanted to travel or at least get out of Canada. The American Dream is broken here in Canada as well and I had enough of the office and family politics. It wasn't easy as I was making more than most people my age, but realized at 38 my time on this planet is finite and won't be bought anymore with work I am unhappy with. I am done chasing the dream. Will hopefully get out of Canada pretty soon though.

[@blue18404]

[@user-ht1jg4qz3h]

👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🙋🏼‍♂️🙋🏼‍♂️🙋🏼‍♂️

[@onemergence]

YES to not waiting for "another day"! That is SOOO exciting for you & your family! Your kids will get to experience the world and not just read about it from their geography books! Btw, is it stressful to have your family reliant on you? (P.S. Feel free to throw away my advice, because what do I know lol - but your title could be a bit snappier if it said: "Living the NEW American Dream...of leaving America")

[@DorianDevelops]

Thanks! Yeah it's a little stressful at times but I'm making it work. Taking your advice on the title and changing it to your suggestion. Been thinking of reworking the title and thumbnail on this one..

[@onemergence]

@@DorianDevelopsI'm SUPER glad you found my comment useful, yay!! :)) Hope it'll attract more views and more people get to absorb the wisdom behind living this new (and awesome) dream :) p.s. the pressure of being the earner is real and not often talked about openly - I see it happening with my male friends who have kids / families - hence why i asked! glad you're making it work and a bit of stress is actually healthy - shows that you're doing something worthy & what you care about! :)

Great video . I rewatch it instantly. (Normally I Never do this .) Standing in heaven seeing what life could've been, is probably how it will be in reality. (NDE people say similar stuff !!)

Man that is so inspirational. You are living the dream. But in reality at least for me I need to make a lot more money to escape this repetitive work life in order to skip out on rent payments.

[@Essential_Gaming]

4:07 yep, I've been travelin asia now for since feb 2023, still lovin most of it especially Malaysia, wow, still here, and travelin nonstop since covid began, its not always great but much better if u have a family i guess and like a normal 9-5 job everyday, hotels get loney sometimes but there is always a sacrifuce to be made..even a good life is not always good , but some life choices are superior to others no doubt, i had similar thoughts and feelings like u have about my country back in europe, hated it...

[@adrimathlener8008]

I've never seen the use of having a bucket list and ticking off all the items. But do travel the world, see places, meet people, enrich yourself & family. Do them because you want to, not to tick them off your bucket list.

[@ChristinaHarrison-hw4lr]

This is why people go to Europe. Asap.

[@W0lfytzu]

"Greatness from small beginnings." - Sir Francis Drake. I do see you are determined to make it work this time, and so you shall succeed. I hope you will never have to go back to a regular job, and you will be able to keep spending time with the people that matter to you, doing the things you all like to do and in the end just live free. You are never foolish for dreaming. The basis of some of the greatest ideas mankind had, came from dreaming, so keep dreaming brother! Soon enough you will transform them into reality. Good luck! P.S.: Someday has "killed" a lot of good people.

[@phizzy123]

i don’t know what’s in his mind obviously but i can think of a couple guesses: healthier food, better healthcare, change of pace, better community/less hyper-individualism, getting more for your money’s worth, etc.

[@kani-licious]

its more livable when you have the money for sure

[@f4llenstarr]

By the sounds of it he's giving the whole family a fantastic experience. Even if its just for a few years it'll create so many moments and also growth for all of them - just a partial guess!

[@user-ht1jg4qz3h]

i will answer for him from my own experience: 3 times increase in budget more relaxed life no need for accommodation money if s💩it hits the fan only 3 $ for food needed to survive a day no cold or freezing generalky more smiling and friendly ppl ( not vietnam, the hate and exploited me for a Month (cuz of vietnam war memories ..? but its cheaper there tho!) little to no social pressure for tourists to fit in cuz they clearly see u from other side of world cheaper clothes to buy politics and media is not really a thing here compared no gender bs no racial fights ( mostly taxes less fir livin and so on there are like ten things i found out is better here than the west

[@user-ht1jg4qz3h]

​@@phizzy123no healthcare and food not necessarily better unless u rich...but the rest pretty true

No its "get a dead-end job and stay there till you die, or we throw a fit" if your my family. Not everyone gets that same mouth full, time to start stepping on some toes. The grass is never greener.

[@anniesshenanigans3815]

It's time for the middle class white or black Americans to leave.. we do not have to stay, we are not trees. Our country is being overrun by the extreme rich and people from other places, whether legal or not. The government has become far too big and will implode at some point. We have so many regulatory agencies that do not ask our permission or opinion to impose things on us that are ridiculous and puzzling. I am 61 and I grew up in a Free country. We are no longer free here in the US, no matter what people are saying. Censorship, regulations, and taxes are oppressing our freedoms. If you don't think so, take a hard look at your life and finances. How much cash do you really have to spend out of your pay? If you add up the fees, insurance that is required, taxes from FEd, state and local level, you end up with less than half of your income. Who voted for that? NONE of us voted for that!! Another example... walk around town with a beer in your hand.. you will more than likely get harassed or arrested... Do it in Asia, nobody cares!! That is how it was when I was much younger, here in the US. And for those reasons, I will be retiring in another country.. I wish I had a job that was 'nomadic' I would leave now.

Quran[3:185]"Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your [full] compensation on the Day of Resurrection. So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has attained [his desire]. And what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of delusion."

[@reynardtcloete6959]

No my friend. Hell is not a video of what life could have been if only you took more risks. Hell is a place for those who live a life apart from the God who has created this wonderful creation we enjoy. We worship the creature rather than the creator. We have turned our backs on Him. We all know instinctively that God exists, and we know instinctively that we all have sinned against Him. But God so loved the world that he sent His Son to this world (God taking on humanity), in order to live the life of obedience and love for God which we could not, and then dying the just death that we deserve for our sin, in our place, so that if you turn from your sin, and self, toward Christ, trusting in Him, He will forgive you and grant you everlasting life. Do not be deceived in thinking that this life is all their is and therefore "Eat and drink, for tomorrow we die" - 1 Corinthians 15:32. Eternity is forever. Your life is a mist, here for a moment and then vanishes. "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?" - Mark 8:36
