Justin is awesome. He just went for it and never looked back.

[@midlifewanderings]

Oh wow! I've watched his channel every now and then but what's even more exciting is how he ditched everything he knew and made it big time. Great content, Chad.

[@RedneckNFilipina]

Wow Chad you guys knocked this one out of the park. This is the first interview with Justin I have seen. There may be others. If not there will be now. What an interesting story. I met Justin at the resort and get pictures with him. Never knew the whole story. My loss for not chatting with him more.

[@CritterHunter]

Thanks for having me man! Lots more stories to come!

It was my pleasure Justin... Let's do it again we barely scratched the surface in your epic journey!

Great interview! Love what you’re doing. But just remember…you won’t be entitled to US Social Security benefits unless you have contributed enough in taxes. Just keep that in mind.

[@jasoncarnes9846]

Great story! Life is truly what you make it! I’ve lived the spectrum: from going broke on the other side of the world, to currently “playing it safe” with a good paying job! There’s no comparison when considering which is more fulfilling! Every decision comes with a trade-off! I’m planning my first trip to the Philippines now. I wouldn’t be disappointed to knock out both a diving and marriage certificate while I’m there! I guess I’m a sucker for both adventure and love! Ha! Keep up the great work!

My visit to Africa back a few years surprised me a great deal because I thought I could wear shorts and only had one pair of jeans along...and the place I visited was a Francophone country (and I don't speak French) and men in that country DO NOT wear short pants...so I was stuck in jeans for two weeks which was not ideal 🙂 Cool video.

So Justin from where do you plan to get that retirement income in 30 years. You wont GET SS unless your are currently paying for it.

[@CritterHunter]

You prefer I go sit in a cubicle at some office job for next 30 years, and hate my life, just so I can have a few extra dollars from SS when in 62?

[@roselee4445]

@@CritterHunter You misunderstood Justin. Your response seems to indicate that you have at 30ish already saved money or will inherit or already inherited money OR that you are wisely investing in IRAs or some sort of retirement account. Because unless you pay into social security you won't receive any or perhaps a pittance. I wish you well in your rich retirement.

[@CritterHunter]

@@roselee4445 I have no inheritance ect, but my point is, most guys save their whole life and work hard so they can live how they dreamed. I already live that life. I decided to live first, not defer the dream, and figure out how to invest in future myself, withput ss
