I get the feeling that this guy's all image and bluster. He has just enough money to project an image of material success, but not enough to *actually* get things done and smooth out life's little problems. I mean, he's out here hawking passports from third world countries to tax cheats dumb enough to give up an American passport. He's having a good time riding the dying waves of globalization. In ten years, twenty years, he (and especially his wife and kids) are going to look back at him and think "what a cheap fucking moron to give up that passport for a few percentage points of income." Seriously, he says it himself. He's not hawking his "services" to wealthy people. He's hawking them to rich people. There's a big difference. Nouveau riche at that. Anyone that looks up to Dubai because of the "flashy lights and shiny things" so to speak of a nice airport and plentiful slave-labor and gaudy luxury stores has taste that...well...screams crass, petty, pedantic and trying way to hard to convey an image to everyone else to compensate for something deep deep down...and yet, not enough to actually maintain that lifestyle somewhere safer in the long term for him and his family without cheating on his taxes and bragging about it online, definitely not *quietly* enough to get away with it WITHOUT HAVING TO GIVE UP HIS PASSPORT. No sane wealthy person in the US or UK would give up their passport. They might move some of their wealth into offshore trusts, sure. But they'd never be desperate and dumb enough to move it ALL offshore and give up their citizenship of their home country and the fallback option and consular assistance that comes with it.

This is an insightful video. I've lived in the USA and Colombia and worked in Europe, Canada, and Asia. There is, as you say, a shared "New World" culture in the Americas that is more gracious and welcoming, and less clannish, than elsewhere. Maybe because we're more recently settled and more mobile than Old World places where families have lived in the same places for over 500 years. No matter where you go in the world, you will eventually become bored unless you are personally driven to keep learning new things. Colombia is beautiful, with some of the best weather on Earth, but you'll get bored there, or anywhere, unless you keep deepening yourself with new learning experiences, new skills development, and new social circles.

@@nelgster That's exactly right. It relegates you to the surface living. (not able to communicate below the surface) To me that is a dreadful state. People have said that Spanish is so easy to learn. Structurally this is true, as language goes. But schoolroom Spanish isn't what is spoken in the barrio. I am from the US but live in Nicaragua and I'd say that the way people speak here qualifies as a "dialect". The more educated people are easier to understand, but here in Nicaragua the level of education is near the bottom. What your regular bloke has here is a keen sense of "street smarts". Not having an "education" has nothing to do with how smart you are. People here are REAL survivors. Anyway- unless you always hang with the "top shelf" type of "educated" people- you will be humbled by a lack of ability to flow with the language of the "lower classes" which in the case of Nicaragua- is the vast majority. There is great beauty in it- for those who will stick around and commit to steeping in a given language- the way it is actually spoken.

@@microtrader540 This is actually the "elephant in the room" that is not dealt with too much in the Spanish language schools. I grappled with this for a long time. Let me tell you a story: Back in 1994 I was in Cuernavaca, Mexico for a one month intense Spanish course. I already could speak, and understood the basics but I wanted to get to the next level. By the end of the month I was really rolling. I could have competent conversations with the instructors. I felt great. However, as soon as I went back to the streets, and the markets, etc. I became crestfallen. Wtf? What language are they people speaking? Right. Here's the reality: What is spoken on the street IS based on the structure of academic Spanish. But it is also true that since the Spanish were here in the 1500's the level of education has universally (Latin America) been very low. So the populations adapted, mixing in native vocabulary and quite literally it has become a "dialect". Or rather dialects, because depending on what area you are in Latin America there are differences in what was evolved and passed down. It is very beautiful and incredibly expressive-- the words that have morphed into modern street Spanish. Only you won't find it in a book. So, how to handle this: 1. Absolutely keep working on your book Spanish. It is your only way in. Get really good at it. Make sure you listen to an absolute mountain of material- like audio books, KZbin videos. With online Spanish- there is a ton of it. Students typically have an unrealistic appreciation as to how much your really need to install into your consciousness. It's a lot. Get to the point where you can easily understand common, but educated Spanish- this is KEY. 2. Read aloud- a lot! Hone in on the CLARITY or PURENESS of the Spanish vowels, which is the root to the spoken language. Get as close as you can. 3. There is no way to avoid this last part. As you progress you will find that you will communicate easily with those who are educated. But to really begin to understand the street Spanish (after dominating the book Spanish) You have to spend a lot of time among the people themselves. If you can --leave behind all the Gringos and go live amongst the people. Because of life circumstances- not everyone can do this- but I don't see any way around this. Like the principle of OSMOSIS it suddenly dawns on you what they are saying. Remember this: In the barrios the vocabulary used is NOT extensive. It all repeats. They say the same stuff over and over. You just have to be there to receive it. Eventually you find yourself picking up on it. It's not a big mystery. I'm not talking about picking up a few cool words to impress your Gringo friends that you can "hang with the Cholos". That is what you see mostly. I'm talking about allowing a part of you to BECOME like they are. And you can only do that by being where they are for long enough that it rubs off. I hope that this helps with your perspective of the whole matter! Que vayas con Dios!

At 56, I have done my traveling and am happy to settle down here in Colombia. Colombia is the best for any investor in avocados, coffee, cacao or fruit-bearing trees. The only concerns are blockades during strikes which impedes businesses severely. We had a recent strike that lasted almost 2 months. It was difficult to buy eggs, chicken, rice and sugar as well as propane and gasoline/diesel. Internet is cheap like $10/month for 15Mbps fiber optic to the router.

As a young man I had many lady friends and was having the best time of my life! After about 4 months I got this undeniable urge to come back to the states. I couldn't understand it. I would ask myself " why? I'm having a blast here" As soon as I arrived in the Miami airport I realized what it was. It was structure. Organization. I realized that as much fun as I was having living that free no holds bar lifestyle there, I was after all, a man of my own circumstances. When you're raised in such a structured society as the USA, you can only adapt to the chaos for a certain amount of time before it starts to work on you. I prefer 7 mos in the US and 5 mos in LATAM. A perfect balance for me personally. When I get tired of the monotonous lifestyle of America it's off to Colombia. After about 4 or 5 months, it's back to good ole USA.

I live in Canada in a small city. The third least affordable cities in the world. I go to central America in the winter. In Costa Rica I live in a shack in the jungle, with monkeys and exotic parrots everywhere. I will go in the rainey season and watch it rain for a month. Walk on the beach , eat red snapper , and guyopinto . Next I go to Nicaragua, where $10.00 us. Is money. Beyond having what is necessary to a minimilist lifestyle, rich is, being rich, is a state of mind. If you are as rich as God, and stay in luxury everywhere , you can not possibly experience any cultural things. Did you meet El Senor Mishimo, in Guatemala, on Lake Attalain, and offer him cigarettes, to answer your prayers? Did you catch the childrens jiant kite festival in Jucotenengo. On the dias de los muertos. Did you go to the reserve in Bribri in Costa Rica , and feed the monkeys coconut, which they would gather and throw down out of the trees, for you to break open for them. Did you go to Granada in Nicaragua and sit by Lake Nicaragua, and feel the breeze , blow cooling the air so near the volcano. Just barely able to move in the heat. In Mexico City I hope you went to the pyramid of the sun and moon. If not you must return there to see this.

Hey Andrew, my wife and I have been following along your videos for the past year and a half religiously. I do not recall coming across a video about what financing is like in many parts of the world. Early last month we started our journey abroad and are planning on leaving Canada for good. Could you speak to what it is like to get financing in places around the world. Particularly we found that many places in Latin America do not offer mortgages, we are now wondering if it is similar in Malaysia as that is going to be one of the big stops for us along our journey. We are also considering Georgia after all of your recommendations. I am going to try to search through your content for answers, I’m not sure if you have made a video about this in the past. We are young, and by no means millionaires right now. I do have a pension from army service that is locked in for life, so financing would be a good option for us. At this point in our lives with our young daughter we do not look forward to sinking a good chunk of our capital into only 4 walls and limiting the rest of our travels. Thanks for everything you bring out, we love it and keep up the amazing work!

The other thing to keep in mind is that the first $120,000 is tax free and then up to $750,000 is is 1/2 of 1% tax. I had a friend look at this condo in an expat area, where they could higher rent, and it was listed at $120k so no taxes, low hoa of $60/month and he could rent it out for $1200 month.

Venezuelan here, the service culture in South America is just low quality on a general basis, starting from my country: not only now but it has always been like that. It's also a problem of development, the concept of accrual and quality management is unknown in most of these countries, only the foreigners: Chinese, Arabs, Jewish, Italians and Spaniards know how to level up for decent standards of quality. I myself acknowledge that most of the issues with the region is rooted in deeply installed resentment and fetish culture that turns most of the population to be prone to irrational thinking and neurotic self-regulation. You have no idea of the amount of horror histories involving foreigners of all kind in Venezuela and certainly your assets are not safe: not even in Uruguay nor Chile. From stories involving home invasions in penthouses with near fatal encounters, to systematic kidnapping and assassination of foreigners to rob them of their property (I remember a case when a French couple who came to Margarita island as part of an international voyage to the Caribbean in their sail yacht and they were murdered the same night they arrived to the local marina)... it's not a paradise, many have the type of thinking you want to avoid in cities like Baltimore.

The true measure of a great journey is how it challenges you and provides you with new perspectives. I appreciate your video my man, don’t get me wrong. Thank you for sharing, but I don’t agree with the message. The countries that I have found the greatest depth in are the ones in which I do not find resemblance to my own culture. In fact, it is my culture I am trying to escape when I travel. The consumerist culture in America has left many feeling like something is lacking in their life, regardless of how much wealth or resources they have. But then I see a Himalayan child laugh with pure joy at the simplest thing, and extend a hand of friendship to me, an outsider, with a trusting kindness I rarely see in American children, and I see that their life is not the worse off for having less “resources” than we do. Many people are happier than Americans, even living a life many would not be comfortable with. I go to these people with open arms and ask them to teach me. I do not go with preconceptions or expectations. That is the way of true travel in my opinion.

I'm a bit late in my comment, but thank you Andrew. Getting away is never the answer; good for a short time, that's why we vacation. We all are going through this; that's why we are here. Finding your niche' is always a challenge. If you are happy where you are, you are blessed. If you are restless, you need to take more time off. If you are in shock about what is happening in Canada 2022, then keep watching.

When you get old, you won't want to hop around as much. Better set roots somewhere.

What would you do if you were just humbly beginning as a day trader with some relatively modest savings?

Fly private in Latin America. It’s more 1st class than flying private in the USA. I love Mexico. I think the Mexican people love money and getting what you want is very easy.

If you think Mexicans love money, try visiting Kenya 😂

Hey Andrew, what would be a perfect city for a big celebration (glam but not too pricy), to celebrate a big business win, for example. What place(s) would really complement the win? Thanks!

This is good and all but if you're trying to get a permanent residency somewhere then you can't leave more than 3 months every year so its good to pick a place where its not miserable half the year
