Well done Kristin. This is by FAR the most comprehensive list I've seen. Thanks!

[@TravelingwithKristin]

You’re very welcome! 😊

Kristin you are like a travel dictionary. I feel info overload 😂😂. But thank you, you’ve covered every possible needs and scenarios

She's definitely created much intrigued in the life of a "digital nomad"; and how to effectively and efficiently maximize the lifestyle and work dynamic.

[@flight714]

1613USD in mexico city is insane. A good ABNB apartment in Roma location runs around 500-700USD/month. Entire place.

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Yes that’s why I said to check Airbnb so you know the comps there, then find a better deal with the other 30 sites or strategies I listed 😉

[@briancshort]

Perfect! This is exactly the sort of thing I've been looking for. Thank you, Kristin!

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Great to hear, Brian! More to come in the course 😊

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Awesome! That's great to hear. Hope this video helps you 😊

[@patwilk7684]

Thank you, the information you provided will save lots of time in searching. Sorry that some people who commented below do not get, its about options. The site that shows a $2,000 a month apartment rental, can also show an apartment for $250 a month. You need to look and screen.

[@TravelingwithKristin]

OMG. So many choices I need to check out! Screw living in the same place for your long term vacation or retirement. I could mix it up and choose a few different ones every year.

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Go for it Spiegel! Happy travels!

[@bonniea8189]

That's been my retirement dream ever since hearing a Rick Steves podcast interview with a couple who did it. Now, they had an adult child they could stay with in their home country when they wanted to take a break, so that's something to consider. Steves asked them what they absolutely had to pack for their long term stays in other countries and they said good kitchen knives 😆 bc vacation rentals don't usually have good ones. So that's another thing to think about - what do you HAVE to have in your day to day life.

[@jackbaldwin3649]

Big thumbs up Kristin! This was so helpful! Do you happen to have an update to this video or any new info we should be aware of? Thank you!

[@davidcollier6520]

Wow, you really nailed that! Because of Brexit ☹ we've been looking for short let basic accommodation in the Netherlands for 2-3 month cycling experiences and airbnb had seemed the best option. But your excellent advice has opened my eyes! One option I had not heard of is Home Exchange and our 4 bedroom house in London would be empty whilst we let abroad but if we sussed Home Exchange out it would save us money and mean our house is put to use which is a good thing. Options 2-10 looked like vey good places for us to dip our toes in the water. Many thanks, it was very clearly presented and you are a star⭐!

@@TravelingwithKristin We spend two of our 3 weeks in the Czech Republic visiting my wife’s family. I typically use either auto Europe or europcar when we visit. One thing I ask for when renting a car is the ability to cross international borders because where she grew up in the CZ borders Poland and Slovakia. During the first week we go some place in Europe like Italy, France, or Germany. This time we’re looking into going to Lisbon first. This is where your suggestions on rental properties will come in handy.

[@robertmcfarlane4151]

As always, informative and comprehensive. A virtual smorgasbord of options in looking for various properties, and some options that many will not have considered (including me). My Dad has done home exchanges successfully in the past throughout Europe and I think it would be an ideal way to see other countries. I will check into it. But the number of options can be overwhelming so I would pick one and try it out and venture forth if necessary. I have used Airbnb in places like Boston and Paris in the past with success. I like having more options and more budget friendly options listed here. I expect to share and revisit this video. Thanks!!
