Hi guys! Fellow South African here who has taken the plunge via TEFL to live abroad to Thailand and China and build a life teaching English. Since then I’ve scaled my marketing business online and I can confirm this is the best life in the world. Writing this message from the desert in Jaisalmer, India. So proud of you!

[@RhettandClaire]

Incredible! Well done to you 👏🏻😃

[@gajanank1599]

Good to see you both happy again 🎉 You have gone through so many ups and downs 😢 All the best for your future 🙌

This video legit made me cry 😭😂 much love you guys ❤

[@cm13846]

Wow, such a "real" video, really felt you guys! You are so inspiring. Would appreciate a video about how to use social media to assist in building a business, especially for the ones of us who aren't that into social media.

Huge congrats guys, well deserved. Been following for years and hope to be in your position one day ❤🤗

[@RhettandClaire]

Hey Ken! Thanks for watching brother. Love you man. I owe a lot to you for listening to my crazy ideas in our office right from the start and you were always there to say go for it!

[@Get.Lost.Travel]

This is such a great watch! Insane how similar our stories are, the difference is that I started digital nomading through copywriting instead of teaching English, but it's otherwise essentially the same, even down to getting a large KZbin editing client after making some videos of my own. Inspiring as always, keep at it! 😊

[@lynettehorak7678]

Wow!!you are truly inspiring, and I love your content, you such a cute couple❤

[@RhettandClaire]

Thank you so much for the kind words Lynette❤️🙏🏼

[@corneliachiscuta317]

You’ve been such an inspiration for me while travelling in Thailand and now, in our way to leave Ireland and go to Bali❤ We have just one life and we have to fulfill it with best options! Keep doing beautiful things, guys, you’re going in the right direction 🎉

[@thrillive]

Hi. Rhette & Claire. So heart-warming to hear from you & your updates. Both of you have given me so much inspiration and hope over the years. I am dying to quit full time and being a digital nomad. (cos need to support family with maid & advanced dementia mum) But reality is harsh and I constantly see myself spinning wheels without success so far. Invested so much on online courses and even now, still investing! So so envy of your success. Wish I can get a taste of such sweet success right now...sigh...anyway, wish you higher success in the near future, better happiness and very good health. Looking forward to your new travelling adventures in 2025! Cheers!

[@RhettandClaire]

Hi Brian. Thank you for always supporting us. You are amazing! We know it can be very tough to live this life if there are a lot of responsibilities at home. We are very lucky we had not “strings” as such. We just had to sell our cars and furniture and give it a shot! Well done for continuing to invest in yourself. I am sure with persistent and consistency, success will come. Stay strong ❤️🙏🏼

[@CasaFassa]

Great success story! Thanks for sharing!

[@RhettandClaire]

Thanks for watching!

[@thetraveling3]

I really enjoyed your video! Thanks so much for making it, we have been traveling and making KZbin videos on our channel for about 8 months now. There has been SO much to learn and we are finally monetized!!! Keep up the good work!

[@CiaranWheeler]

So lekker to see fellow Joburger’s doing big things in the content space 🙌👏

[@maryannilling]

I LOVED hearing your story. I look forward to every travel journey. Wise advice my fellow Joburgers/Capetownians we also made the same move to the Cape. I started my online business a few years ago. It takes time but it was worth EVERYTHING...I too did the postgrad thing and then found this path. I was blessed to discover your channel when searching for everything I needed to know about BALI. I noted literally everything, I stayed there for a month in 2023. I've been hooked on your channel ever since and obviously following South Africans, priceless

[@RhettandClaire]

Hey Maryann😊 Thank you so much for this kind comment ❤️🙏🏼 Well done to you for following your dreams and making it happen. You are are right it is worth everything and definitely worth fighting for 👊🏼 Thank your for supporting us, we don’t get a lot of support from our fellow saffers 🙏🏼

I love your content!

[@imdee9024]

Your storytelling skills are on point. That was lengthy and you had my attention from beginning to end - respect. Though I love online teaching and have been doing it for 5 years (Vietnamese kids student base) I have now hit a ceiling and feel a little burnt out. I adore my job and have the utmost respect (and empathy) for Asian kids because of the work ethic expected of them. However, I would like to dabble in other income streams while continuing the teaching because I'm aware that the world is changing and there are opportunities out there. It's just difficult to navigate it. Thanks for your time. Dee.

[@dianaoz_s]

Thanks to share.

[@WITYTRAVELS]

We've made a very similar video. We think it is so important to share your journey so it can inspire others! Its important to have an abundant mindset, there is enough out there for us all to chase our dreams. Thank you for your inspirational video🌟

[@RhettandClaire]

Absolutely!! Well done to you guys too ❤️

[@StefanSwift-pq2rw]

Hi Rhett. Do you fund your own travels or do you do it via n travel credit card? The states has amazing travel credit card benefits, and I am currently looking into getting one as an South African resident. If you have one, can you maybe give me some info how to apply for the ITIN number?

[@RhettandClaire]

@@StefanSwift-pq2rw hi Stefan. We don’t have an American credit card. We’re not sure it’s possible to get one actually. We pay for all our travels on our FNB credit card or business card direct. Pity we can’t earn points on all of our travel and get free hotel stays like the US guys do. If we did maybe we’d have our own house by now 😂

[@angelinamashigo8110]

Wow, I love your videos and you inspire me. I have a question. How do I convince my partner that we doesn't have to save up alot of money to take a simple roadtrip to Pretoria. Him and I want to travel, but I think he has a scarcity mindset and I undermine how much things cost😅 sometimes. How can we start the travel culture?

[@RhettandClaire]

Hey Angelina. Thank you so much for watching and for the kind comment 🙏🏼 This is really a tough one. I think you both have to want it. Travel is not for everyone though unfortunately. We look at travel as an investment in our own personal development. Like we said in the video. These experiences we’ve been able to have abroad have always resulted in growth and a mindset shift. Maybe he just needs a small push in the right direction to see the light 😃

Hey Rhett and Claire - to be honest, I havent yet finished the vid, but I have to stop and share something!!! My wife and I have just launched our eComm brand.

Can we connect to discuss the collab? P.s its paid 🤑 P.p.s back to the video for me hehe🎉

Everyone cant just quit there 9-5 job, whos gonna then work in hospitals, grocery stores and so on. Its very few who can succeed and live of social media/youtube. Most cant. Its a combination of hard work and luck. Also its easier for girls to be successfull

[@91espen]

And btw i love your channel! Its the best

[@louisevanaswegen7923]

I fully agree with you. There can be a lot of purpose working 8 to 5....

[@Tashas_Travels]

The million dollar question about traveling full time or even part time is, how much does 1 person need to start, coz all this is pointless if you don't have the koney to do it. Is it R100,000, R50,000 ? What is it? Coz people never touch on the money side of things, which is what a person needs to do anything in this world.
