How he quit the rat race and travels the world

[@Livingabroadalex]

It was a pleasure meeting you Dan! Thanks for the talk my friend 🤝

[@jeremyf5051]

Nice! Glad Alex is back at it.

[@bigdreamsphilippines]

Dan you and Alex are such an incredible inspiration and learning resource ! At 52 I reject the idea of waiting for a small social security check to retire and enjoy my life ! Based on many things I’ve learned from you and Alex I’m making my exit strategy now ! I own a home on the Beach in the USA that I can rent and this opportunity will hopefully allow me to live my dream very soon ! Thx 🙏

[@garolstipock]

I really appreciate you guys going into the money specifics, like actually stating numbers for income, sources, and lifestyle realities that work with the specific budgets. There are too many that-- understandably, are ambiguous about it because its directly speaking to their specific personal income and some think that too intrusive. These numbers along with how one lives, and the experience of living in a specific budget helps us viewers immensely and gives a template of the kind of expectations and planning we need to do if we hope to set out on adventures and lifestyle changes like these.

[@havenpersonalcare7968]

I have to give it to you both for taking that journey! It's an inspiration. Just retired @44 after 25 years of service; and will be moving back to Philippines with my family with a little bit of pension, rental property, and healthcare coverage; I think we're on the sweet spot. Will be living in the province for projected $1K-$1.5K monthly budget. All is well. And keep the videos coming!

ESCAPING THE WEST, A DREAM OF MANY

[@Joe-mz6dc]

Western countries have become the fascistic states that are forefathers fought against in World War ii. It's a completely disgusting situation.

Nice interview. The world is our home. I'm excited to do the same 😊

[@OhShunz]

Not Philippines specific but thanks for the info on the KZbin ads. I had no idea YT added them regardless of the creator. I have judged creators for these ads popping up every other minute not realizing it was YT doing it. Great video thanks for sharing!

[@dbess1]

You guys give me a mental vacation. Got roots I wouldn’t abandon lol. Cross promo worked….new sub!

[@MENSA.lady2]

I quit the rat race about 20 years ago and so far have 68 countries stamped in my passports. Number 69+ will be island hopping in the Caribbean. Come join me.

[@DHarri9977]

Hello Dan, I've been following Alex for a long while now he's very energetic and has good vibes and is always searching for both the oddities and other cultural details and sharing them with his audience wherever he travels.

[@ahvicremulla544]

Wow nice interview enjoy

[@Matthew-gz4oh]

Alex is a great guy, and glad you hooked up!!

[@derrickdu]

Excellent video Dan! I wish I could be there joining you guys. Jealous!

[@worldlightchaser]

Dan I think your channel gave me the extra inspiration I needed to push off from my US base. Thanks for having Alex on your channel. I have been traveling since January, although I am no stranger to living overseas. No real culture shock for me, just maintaining the spirit of "Semper Gumby"...always be kind, cool and collected whenever interacting with locals and things usually end up fine.

[@John-ds6jz]

Hi Alex and Dan 👍👍👍

You guys are an inspiration. Keep it up, represent. - WW

[@HellofromBaguio]

Great vid, big thumbs up

[@richieliper4720]

Nice to see you both guys.. now, the other way around!

[@globoliver9697]

Nice attitude, and respect for daring this at such a young age. I felt the same, not wanting to do "this" any more, staring at a wall and such things. Funny that you would mention food in Turkey. It's one of my big issues in this country (the exception being expensive specialty restaurants you'll find everywhere on the planet). A good (!) pizza is 15 $ nowadays, and Turkish "street food" is worse than Turkish "street food" in Germany. "Seasoning"? Nearly inexistant.

I just came back from Turkey. Nice country but yes - small thin pizza is over $10... hmmm

[@gkschick6804]

So glad the two of you connected. I've been a subscriber of both of you for quite a while now. Really enjoy the relaxed way the two of you interacted. Going over to Alex's channel now to see his interview of Dan. Keep up the great work, guys!

[@colinscrypto3307]

Great content. Can you do an episode on Health Insurance?????

[@BongiePilapilMacas]

❤I saw you from his vlog❤

[@glb_tvlr]

Excellent interview. I'm on the same path right now, but in Thailand. That rat race is for the birds. Nothing like enjoying life now!

[@bemcorrales5358]

Wonderful vlog 😊❤🤗🇵🇭🫶🤗 you two, enjoyed listening and watching ❤

I'm working on it . Waiting to sell as we speak. Crossing my fingers for the universe to guide me closer.

Great interviews (Both).

[@francistabar9675]

Very informational and inspireing

[@kgsparrow8017]

Thank you

[@sonhuynh8222]

Great interview …. Very transparent and realistic passive income paths 👍🏼. Most on here will say they have “investments or income” but will never what or how much. Making one think it’s just rich parents funding the extended vacations for KZbin. Thanks for this 🙏🏽

[@kevink1214]

Alex is a natural in front of the camera

[@malcolmnicoll1165]

Thanks for this talk. I’m hoping to live off of $1000 USD per month because that’s all social security will pay me.

[@ChillinginLuzon]

You CAN live on that here in the Philippines (just NOT in the tourist areas) as a single guy. And don't be so quick to get a girlfriend! hahaha

[@dhobby7771]

I hope this info is helpful. I have lived in 6 different countries in Latin America for 10 years. My highest monthly expenses are now, about $650. Greetings from lovely Cancun. 😎

[@VagabondAwake]

Hi @dhobby7771, Would you like to be a guest start on one of my videos? Here is an example guest star video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4SwkGWgdqhnrJY Your interview could be just your voice or we could do a zoom call showing your face. If you would like to be a guest star and share your story please leave a personal message here: vagabondbuddha.com/contact/ Thank you for your comment. The detail of your comment makes this real for people. If you have a business, service, or KZbin channel, you could share that on the interview. Best, Dan

[@trainrecked]

Hi Dan, What kind of camera/ cameras do you use and are edit friendly for dummies? I live most of the year in Phillipines and would like to start a channel there when i get back there on life in my hood and travel there. I find you both inspiring and to be honest I'm not a techie..but would like to at least start simple . Thanks for any advice.

[@justinnunez5353]

alex sent me here. 😂❤

[@Coffewithsteve]

I need up my passive income another 500 next year I got work pension pulling at 50 next year.

[@PenelopePitstop888]

Enjoyed this and bolsters my belief that I can make it on my $2500 a month.

[@junp5361]

Youre rich ph standard 😜

[@formica.]

You can live on 1500 in SEAsia, but you need more for airplane tickets and hotels if you want to travel too. Also important to have a saving funds. Maybe you will want to buy a car someday, spend time back in your home country, emergencies.

[@PenelopePitstop888]

@@formica. yes, I definitely want to travel and am padding my surplus piggy bank for that and emergencies, etc. I'm strongly leaning towards Guatemala to begin my traveling life.

My plan is part time at lake atitlan yearly. I love Guate and have been going every couple of years for a few months to better my Spanish for 29 years now.

That's the problem with travel channels.. When you leave the country, you're toast...

[@chucklander5475]

I enjoyed watching your video on living and traveling the world. Since you are currently in the PH, it would be great to meet you sometime. I am now in Manila. I'll be traveling to Tagaytay in a few weeks.

[@robertw8666]

By the way Dan. I am waiting for you to put out a video about traveling as a vegetarian. Like you I don't eat animals but do find it hard to do while traveling. The hipper places will have veg restaurants but what about when you are not staying in Coolsville. I know there is a strong vegetarian movement in India but mostly no where else.. Have you ever considered a video about this subject?

Health insurance? Car??

[@VagabondAwake]

Great question @RatTerminator, I have one report where I explain what I do about health care and another where I show you how I search for health insurance, and a third report sharing which one I decided to finally buy. What I do about health care: vagabondbuddha.com/two-biggest-risks-of-retiring-early-overseas/ Report where I search for health insurance: vagabondbuddha.com/best-health-insurance-for-ex-pats-in-philippines/ Here is the Health Insurance I bought (and scams to avoid): kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp3Id5J4eLGJgdk By the way, once you search for health care you will start seeing more offers for health insurance and travelers insurance when you are online. Health insurance is one of the most dynamic or changing industries in the travel world because so many people around the world are deciding to live or retire outside their home country. So do a search every year before you renew to make sure you have the best available for your personal circumstances because new ones come out every few months. Thanks for asking so I could answer this for many people! Dan

Golf??

Its here but I am not very aware. I am not a golfer. :-)
