Patrick is becoming quite the KZbin interviewer! It was a great sit down chat, very relaxed and informative! thank you both for sharing!

[@patrickoverseas]

Thank you Anthony! She has such a great life story .

[@ExpatSingleMom]

Thank you so much for doing this interview with my Patrick! It was a lot of fun. And I like your camera a lot better than mine!

[@patrickoverseas]

Thank you for doing it. Was fun !

[@Bobo_Plantain]

Thank you for giving your experience, Andrea! You're making a lot of people think outside the box, and realize there are more options than they may think there are.

[@ExpatSingleMom]

@@Bobo_Plantain you’re welcome and I appreciate your comment! This is exactly what I hope to do. Help people to think about options that might be hard at first but ultimately provide a better life. 👍🏼

Good interview and very helpful to people.

[@patrickoverseas]

She is great. and to bring to the table to be a expat and a single mom is Amazing.

Great interview y’all. I am glad the Benefits overcome the Issues as Andrea stated. Yes, life has become harder in the US as I can relate with having 2 kiddos now; Things got more expensive but pay has remained steady. Thinking of a 2nd job which will take me away from my family and increase the stress level 10000%. Thank you for sharing your experiences. GOD BLESS!

[@patrickoverseas]

Thanks Tonyz hate to hear that about stress but I get it.

[@BesmirZanaj]

Very informative

[@patrickoverseas]

[@baybrad415]

This was great! Would love a follow up interview. One day we'd really love looking into traveling/living abroad with two kids

[@patrickoverseas]

we will do a follow up. Thank you for watching !

[@ExpatSingleMom]

I’m on board!

[@markmurray6449]

Great stuff, you and @ExpatSingleMom should do a monthly roundup!

[@patrickoverseas]

[@ExpatSingleMom]

Great idea!

[@Iletmeknow]

Amazing.....1st😂😂

@@patrickoverseas wooo hooo!

[@Bobo_Plantain]

I'll be in Tirana the first 2 weeks in October! Exited to see how I get along. If all goes well, I may take the plunge and return at the start of 2025 for a year stay. Thank you Patrick for your videos and tips, which have been extremely influential and helpful.

[@patrickoverseas]

Thank you so much ! if traveling alone may i suggest to reach out to some expat groups that meet thru out the month here. You can find them online. Thank you so much for watching !

[@JayCWhiteCloud]

This was simply wonderful and something I was about to be bold enough to ask for from both of you. The story of the Italian owner sounds so typical of "old Europe" and its cultures. I think the internet is doing more for "world peace" and shrinking governments (or changing them) than all the diplomacy of the last 50 years. Thank you so much Patrick and Andria!!!

[@ExpatSingleMom]

@@JayCWhiteCloud you’re welcome! We appreciate you watching our videos:)

[@patrickoverseas]

Thank you jay !

[@bw5911]

Great interview. I hope to meet you both someday. I would love it if my kids would get a remote job and live overseas too. Way to go Jessie!

[@patrickoverseas]

oh if i was younger and able to work online. The world is out there !

[@ExpatSingleMom]

Jesse says thank you! 🙏🏼 ❤

[@mikesossamon318]

Great interview!

[@patrickoverseas]

Thanks ! i hope to do more interviews with other expats in the future.

[@juliankrekasi]

believe me, the situation with the owner of the house has never happened before! hahaha, both of you and your family are very polite and very nice. I'm glad that you trusted me so much to find your properties and I will always help you as if I were in the same situation myself

[@ExpatSingleMom]

❤😂 it is no problem, just a funny story that we like to tell!

[@patrickoverseas]

Julian you guys are the best ! Thank you for taking care of us. April and i would be lost with out your help.

[@ExpatSingleMom]

@@patrickoverseas agreed! Illyrian homes is the best. You guys have been so great!

[@christinel1530]

Is Albania animal friendly? I've watched a lot of videos about this country, but no one ever talks about pets. Also curious about Veterinary services.

[@patrickoverseas]

yes, very pet friendly. And i do see vet shops.

[@stephanieviolette593]

I am heading there with our furry 15 year old 9pd diva in March. I believe you just need a rabies certificate and there isn’t a quarantine time (deal breaker for me). Always visit the embassy website for updates. And don’t forget your own recommended vaccinations!

[@Property2030sg]

Nice and friendly interview :). Andrea seems more relaxed than in her own channel, hahaha. Both of you are living in Tirana, right? I thought I heard Pogradec being mentioned ?

[@patrickoverseas]

Hi ! Yes the 4 of us are in Tirana for now. Im trying to buy property in Pogradec. April and i hope to be living there by November.

[@TheBeastTheBeast]

Good Video Patrick, bro just a simple question what you guys doing wrong in US I've seen a lot of expats talking same thing and being "revived" in Albania. Cheers

[@patrickoverseas]

Hi. I love u.s.a. I served it proudly in the Airforce. Cost of living for one thing is a huge problem. Especially if you wish to retire. Everyone waits....one more working year then i will. And they die before they retire. Or are so broken down physically theres no enjoyment when they finally retire. Crime is high there now. The food has so many chemicals in it. Its not good for you. Here in Albania, its farm to table. No preservatives, no hormones. And thats just a few reasons. For me any ways.

[@malcolmnicoll1165]

Thanks Patrick. Another great video. 1984: People eat at McDonald’s because they have 2 jobs and they’re poor. 2024: People at McDonald’s because they have 3 jobs and they’re poor. America is finished. You and Bald and Bankrupt are the bomb.

[@patrickoverseas]

Thanks Malcolm !
