I love your insights, Dan. I'm 5 years deep in my expat journey, all South America, and always learn from you.

[@Amanda_downunder]

Where in S America do u like best ?

[@allwaysbemoving]

I lived in Asia (S Korea and Vietnam) from 1995 - 2012 and only returned to the US so my daughter could attend school here. Though I'm grateful for the education she has received, I can't stand the lifestyle here and can't wait to return abroad when my daughter graduates and goes to college in 2027. And then I have no intention of returning other than to visit her ... if she remains in the US. I'm hoping she will decide to live abroad as well.

[@VagabondAwake]

Hi @allwaysbemoving, 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

[@Amanda_downunder]

where would u love to live ? Vietnam ?

[@allwaysbemoving]

@@VagabondAwake Sure. I'd be alright with that.

[@allwaysbemoving]

@Amanda_downunder Vietnam is on my list for sure.

[@Amanda_downunder]

@@allwaysbemoving - ok ! best wishes

[@kevinreist7718]

Corporate Greed? Work/life balance? Divisive politics? Healthcare scam? Cost of living? Just a few guesses.

[@VagabondAwake]

Nice try. Give up yet? If only I had made a video about it. :-)

[@Man-In-The-Home-Stretch]

Inspired by your channel, I am making my first scouting trip to the Philippines in a couple of weeks, and have started my own channel.

[@VagabondAwake]

That is awesome!

[@buddhaweatherby368]

Getting set for this myself. It may be some years, but I am laying the foundation. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@VagabondAwake]

You are so welcome! It has become my purpose.

[@mrbHanoi]

Expat 37 years I never consider returning to the USA for a full year. I just think about which 3 or 4 countries are next. I have confidence that I can make as much or more overseas as I can in America

[@tedlasalvia9668]

Dan, I'm 63 now and still doing the grind here in the USA. I found you and my other favorite vloggers during the pandemic and finding you was the best part of that time period. Your insight and video travels have done more for my future outlook than my 35+ years of work life. Now, I have something to really look forward to upon retirement and I've changed my views on vacations. I now never take less than a 2-week vacation as I know that my first week is to decompress from the grind back home. Your description of vacationing while working and realizing that you needed to leave whatever paradise you were in is spot on! I love your ability to live your best life and supplement your income with your skillset! I'm playing catch up with your videos, but every time I watch a new video, I realize it's like checking in on an old friend and I absolutely love this. Sooooooo,.... Where will you take us next?

[@VagabondAwake]

Anticipation. :-)

This really resonates

Thanks for sharing. Keep safe to both of you.

Looking very fresh for 64 😎👍.. greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@franciscoaguilar123]

The other thing you missed or dodged in the USA is divorce and having to start over when you're 45 or 55. You are a lucky and smart guy!! Now I'm getting set to leave the USA and won't even date here anymore. I'll be following in your footsteps within a year.. Keep up the great videos.

[@Crabby_Camper]

Yes sir! Me exactly

[@VagabondAwake]

I was divorced at 51 years of age. She took more than half.

[@scottjackson163]

Funny, you never see a video titled “He Wiped Me Out in Divorce.”

[@jhonnyfromme2109]

As always great videos, I like the gold panning one.

[@rickmossop3733]

Qiang always walks like she's on a mission.

[@VagabondAwake]

She always is. A very determined individual.

You're the best! That is like tipping a waiter you like 30%. Very generous. You are helping pay for everything it takes to make these videos. Thank you so much.

[@thebestlifejeremy]

@VagabondAwake i just bought you and your lovely wife a coffee ☕️ $10.00 sent to her coffee link. I appreciate you both. You inspire me

[@mishabakunin4354]

Great video Dan! Makes me think… I guess I’m not too far from “retiring”.

[@harleydavis3814]

Dividend stocks, that's my favorite hobby lol

[@philsummers9931]

That’s great Dan, I am really happy for you.

[@adamkufner2511]

Love the videos!! Can you do videos for disabled Americans under 50 on SSDI for medical tourism?

[@michikoiesaka3365]

Thanks for the story. I love it. I wish I could do this with a beautiful woman like yours.

[@VagabondAwake]

Are you sure you can't?

[@GeeGee19]

Im 48 years old retired with a city of new York pension for life I own a gorgeous house that's paid off in Brooklyn new York as bad as I want to live abroad I'm so nervous to sell my house and leave forever because I know how hard and expensive it will be to come back and replace everything. So I decided to live overseas six months out of the year. I can't believe you been traveling for 17 years that's truly amazing that you've been traveling to different countries for all that time. God bless you. I'm sure having your girlfriend traveling with you makes it easier than being alone and traveling.

[@CosmicSeeker69]

Sell your house tomorrow - then go buy PHYSICAL GOLD - and tell no one. In ten years time you'll be able to buy seven houses.

[@GeeGee19]

​@@CosmicSeeker69that's the worst advice I've ever heard. I brought my house in 2000 for 200k now it would sell in one day for 1,400,000.00$. Real estate is the best because of owning this one home it will make my retirement super easy.

[@Offgridwealthmanagement]

OMG I do the same thing! Always counting down! Ha ha ah.... thought I was the only one doing that!!!

[@VagabondAwake]

Are you ready to forget you used to count down yet?

[@Offgridwealthmanagement]

@VagabondAwake I'm at a crossroads,so not yet. Having to care for elderly parent and all my investments hinging on the economy have it all in limbo. But hoping it will be a go in the near future. I hate being in the United States as a hostage!!!

[@freeradical1567]

always top notch

[@alwaysright3718]

I've been to 110 countries and daydream everyday of what's next...

[@smudgepost]

Love your videos! Changing our lives based on them. Can I ask where @12:07 is located? It looks amazing

[@truckn]

I agree with you accept I'm from Canada. If I didn't have adult children and grandkids, I'd never come back. Don't get me wrong I love Canada but the cost of living makes it difficult to get ahead. Another great video Dan. Travel safe and Be well.

[@RawDogTV]

I live in Montreal, I agree with you!

[@tankq888]

Hi Dan! Where is that magical place at @2.17 in this video?

[@VagabondAwake]

That is terraced rice patties near Ubud Bali Indonesia. They are all over SE Asia in mountaneous areas

[@resterAnonyme]

I’m curious how you would manage important documents like Social Security cards of birth certificates? I would prefer digitizing and destroying them, but I’m not sure that’s a good idea. I would prefer not to keep them with friends or family either.

[@michaelburles6808]

Hey Dan, l’ve been watching your videos for quite awhile. Where would you recommend to retire in Europe. I’m originally from the UK, but it’s far too expensive to retire there.

[@CosmicSeeker69]

Balkans

[@CosmicSeeker69]

Probably outside of the EU.

[@michaelburles6808]

That’s what l was thinking

[@SonistheFatherofMan]

You have a wonderful channel. May I ask where your companion is from and how you met her? She is a beauty and seems so nice and laid back. I would love to meet someone like that.

[@VagabondAwake]

Thank you @SonistheFatherofMan, Thank you for watching and commenting. I have interviewed Qiang and she has her own KZbin Channel. Make sure to watch her video about how we met and subscribe to her channel.

Forgive me if I'm being too nosey but if you have to pay tax who do you pay it to?.. hopefully you don't have to pay..😀

[@VagabondAwake]

US citizens have to pay income tax on their worldwide personal income. If you are making over $120k, talk to an international accountant about how to reduce your taxes with an overseas corporation.

[@damncars2618]

The key is love. If you love your job, you will never work a day in your life. Otherwise paradise awaits elsewhere.

[@VagabondAwake]

Yes. If you love your job, it is not work. :-)

[@damncars2618]

@VagabondAwake Yes, I would job hop when I was young. I'm thinking about a pay raise, but as a bonus I got more responsibilities and loved it. 😆
