Nice video! I'm 60 also. Retired in 2016 and travelled (primarily in Central America & Dubai) until COVID. I'm looking forward to taking off again, especially to the places you've recommended!

Health and happiness 😎✌️❤️🙏

Excellent video Dan, fantastic income, you've earned every penny. I've lived and worked abroad for about 40 years, Africa, Middle East, now Thailand (retired..sort of 😆) I'll be 70 this month and was thinking the other day how I felt in my 40's and came to the realization my energy level, health hasn't changed much. I guess the saying...we are as old as we feel is true. Whatever you're doing to stay healthy and fit is working, don't change.

I don’t like to keep stock of physical products, so I have never been interested in pyramid marketing. I would also not be interested in Chinese made products. Korean or Japanese products usually have higher quality and better designs than their Chinese counterparts.

[@tman5634]

That's easy to achieve, unless you feel you've got an addiction. If so all is not lost but start now on going cold turkey on some smaller things, perhaps a particular food. Build up to different things & before you know it you'll be able to give anything up at ease.

[@globetrotting2628]

@@tman5634 Yes, I agree. I'm glad you threw food in there. I keep wondering if I'll miss certain American comfort foods if I decide to live in a foreign country? I lived in a few places in Europe and have travelled around here and there, but there is nothing quite like getting back to the states where I can load up on Alaskan King Crab and Filet Minion, etc............ I need to get over my fine food addiction for sure because I can't afford to dine at 5 star resorts all the time if I decide to travel full time. Here, in the states, you can buy that fine stuff at the grocery store and cook it up at home for a reasonable prices. I would love to see some videos from Vagabond Awake comparing grocery stores in different countries, especially the meat/seafood, cheese/deli, and veggie/fruit sections. I'm almost ready to take a plunge towards the nomad life.

All great points you guys. Thanks for sharing! Dan

[@tman5634]

@@globetrotting2628 I mentioned food as it seems the constant thing many travellers miss when away from their home country. For me, my vice is good quality cheese, something not readily available in certain countries & if so can be very expensive (eg. Thailand). What I do is cut down in my own country & eventually cut out altogether weeks before I travel. That way not having cravings for it & other stuff.

I think you're spot on about information products. I honestly can't believe you sell your products for so cheap. You should look to increase your prices over time as you continue to add more content. I was a bit of a vagabond myself until I married a Filipina and started making babies. You definitely have me beat on number of places visited though.

[@VagabondAwake]

Actually I have been thinking of raising my prices. What do you think I should charge?

[@IncomeSeries]

@@VagabondAwake I haven't seen the course and I don't know the demographic of your audience, in terms of what they can afford. AB testing is honestly the best way to find out. But maybe consider a signup funnel where if they subscribe they can get full access for a cheaper price, and if they just pay for the course its $397. You can also do sales events a couple times a year, where they can get it at a big discount, which would be a motivator to get on your newsletter.

It was like pushing a boulder up hill for a few years but it is rolling down now! :-)

[@nonspecifically]

I'm not as interesting as you guys are. I don't see how I can make money this way. :(

[@jaymesturdivan3635]

Thank you for the information and inspiration. I've been a hobby artist for years, many different mediums and I think this could be a good outlet and possible added income for my retirement years.

[@VagabondAwake]

You are so welcome! This is a great way to build any kind of information business including hobbies like arts and crafts.

[@russcoight1586]

Hey mate, can I just ask... What type of service did you use to get write/publish your Ebooks? Can you please elaborate on that, if you can?

[@VagabondAwake]

That is all in my course Russ. Give it a try for $9.

Ya but,,,,,a big factor in your success is your girlfriend in your videos,,,not everybody has an amazing beautiful asian girlfriend like that !!! she s that one in a million type of women,,,,,, So,,, good for you,,, keep enjoying your life and this paradise which is earth,,,but not many people realize that,,,many want to make it hell !!! too bad for them ! and its good to share knowledge and wealth with others when we can. Not everybody had the chance to be born in a good country,,,so when we can,,,we can help these people. Regards.

[@VagabondAwake]

So true richard boyer, the world is such a beautiful place. I just laugh quietly to myself when I hear someone say "this country, or that country," is the best country in the world. Almost every country I explore is uniquely inspiring to me in more than one way. That is ultimately why I keep traveling the world slowly rather than settling permanently in one place! The World is a beautiful place. If you are looking for love in your life, check out this report: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6qXfqShoZiDodk Best, Dan

[@runnalls]

Dan, Do you have any children? If so, did you wait until they were grown before leaving your home country?

[@VagabondAwake]

I was married once for 13 years to a woman that had two kids from her previous marriage. They are raised and on their own now.

My online business idea is consulting. Selling the knowledge of what I do now. I have a lifetime of experience to share and I believe people will pay for my advice. I plan to write articles for my blog and make youtube videos to drive people to my consulting business. I would not show ads or try to make money from youtube, just use it to advertise my consulting.

[@VagabondAwake]

Yes, you don't have to have adds on your KZbin videos if you don't want.

[@jpsmusicandmore5457]

I do enjoy your videos Dan... Thank you for sharing.

[@VagabondAwake]

Thank you John! :-) Dan

[@mosesgonzales8820]

Wow lots of work hard

[@VagabondAwake]

I tried all the easy ways first. Turned out they were saying it was easy so they could charge me more money. When people tell you making money online is easy, what they really mean is taking your money is easier if they tell you making money online is easy. The good news is that once you get the ball rolling down hill, which is not easy, keeping it going gets easier and easier.

[@kvong4784]

Great info, Dan! Thank you! As a US citizen, are you required to file income tax on your earnings?

[@VagabondAwake]

That is correct

[@DrJohnnyJ]

File but not pay if under $100K per year.

You are welcome Daniel McKinzie. Thanks for commenting. You are helping our channel grow. Dan

[@deeleerambles]

Good vid. Thanks. Im wondering do you have to have a permanent address and have to spend at least 3 months of the year in your resident country in order to file taxes, qualify for social security and healthcare etc… I’m not sure if you can set up a business without a main country of residence, even if traveling most of the time? Any information appreciated! Thanks, D.

[@VagabondAwake]

It is true that Paypal, Stripe, banks, etc., make you fill in an address when you sign up for things. I have those so I am set. I recommend setting that up before you leave and not changing it. Grab my free eBook. It explains: vagabondbuddha.com/fire-your-boss-travel-world/

[@deeleerambles]

@@VagabondAwake Cheers, yes I do have things like that set up during my travels, and I have a U.K. base etc… It’s just whenever I’ve looked into the possibility of Long stints away, information has popped up about people having to spend at least 90 days of the year in their resident country for tax, healthcare & social security reasons. Maybe that’s just a standard, and there are other possibilities too? Thanks for the link, I’ll check it out!

Thanks for the visit

[@juergenernst1320]

How do you avoid buying roundtrip tickets when they are usually required at entry into a country? Enter with an onward ticket? Would be helpful to know

[@VagabondAwake]

There are companies that sell real onward tickets for about $12. Just google "Onward tickets" and read about it. :-)
