Early retirement travel adventures and projects. If we're in Canada and the US, we're likely on a road trip in our Honda Pilot microcamper. And if we're abroad we're slow traveling with just our backpacks, renting apartments, visiting new cities, hiking, and exploring places off the beaten path. And wherever we are, we always have projects on-the-go!
Slow Travel around our Home Base: A Day on a Road Trip in our Honda Pilot Microcamper
We're back in our home base of British Columbia after slow traveling for the first few months of the year. And now that we're back, we're able to take out our Honda Pilot Microcamper and do some camping and hiking around the province. This weekend, we're driving around the Lytton area of the Fraser Canyon. This is a day in the life of camping in our microcamper.

Why We Keep a Home Base for our Slow Travel Lifestyle
มุมมอง 457วันที่ผ่านมา
Our lifestyle uses borrowed ideas from Canadian Snowbirds, digital nomads, and retirement slow travelers. We travel the world, spending months at a time in different countries. But we also keep a home base in British Columbia, Canada that we return to each year. This is why we’ve chosen to keep a home base instead of traveling full time.

We've taken our slow travel lifestyle to the Dominican Republic. We've based ourselves in Las Terrenas on the north end of the island and are taking small trips from there. Over our last few weeks here as slow travelers and digital nomads, we've learned a few things and had some surprises.

How to Start a Life of Slow Travel: Becoming a Retirement Slow Traveler or Digital Nomad

We see a lot of questions about how to get started slow traveling. And there isn't a single answer that will work for everyone. It really depends on your goals, income, and desired lifestyle. What is slow travel? To us, it means staying in the places we visit for at least a few weeks, and usually a month or longer before moving on to the next place. Digital nomads, backpackers, and retirees can...

Our early retirement slow travel adventures have brought us to northern Argentina. We're on a 7 day roadtrip to explore the provinces of Salta and JuJuy.

How We Find Apartments and Accommodations for Early Retirement Long-Term, Slow Travel

We've been seeing a lot of questions on how to find accommodations and short term rentals, without relying on some of the bigger name sites.

We've stayed in furnished apartments, hotels, hostels, and everything in between. So we'll go t...

How to Plan Your Summer Road Trip: 5 Things to Consider
I like what you are doing with the Pilot. I want to remove the second row seats to create more valuable storage space under the sleeping area for power station, water, electric fridge etc.. You daily convert your bed back to seats to create your "living room" what are the advantages/disadvantages of using the two (more comfortable) front seats as your "living room" ?
We've talked about removing the second and/or third row of seats to create extra storage space. But we've been able to make room for everything without doing that so far, which is why we've left it as-is.
I wish i had these awesome screens for my little Hyundai,
The downfall is so many people from America go there that's massively inflated the price over the last few years. You have a huge population of people from the Northeast Corridor that use their fake addresses with their older relatives live off government assistance from States like Massachusetts Connecticut Rhode Island New York Pennsylvania and New Jersey and then live in Dominican Republic. The money they make the government assistance in the United States has driven the prices and what used to be upper middle-income areas of Dominican Republic up noticeably there are at least 200,000 of them doing this according to the government as it is😂
Hi Emilie. I am thinking of emigrating to Montevideo with my mom as an option.
omg!! what a fabulous idea!!!
Curious about the difference in cost between Salta and BA…maybe 25% less expensive ?
Have been here for 12 years. It is much less expensive when you get out of the city. We live 2 hours south in Yunguilla
I just refuse to subject myself to the dangers and frustrations of flying anymore. I have to travel from Alberta to Ontario this Christmas and I'm taking the train both ways
THIS is what my wife & I are planning! We will retire at 60 (6 years), sale our house, & move into our condo (currently renting & paying off that mortgage. We know things in life can change - & we wanted a "home base." BUT - we want to "live" in places & not just do the whirlwind travel. It's good to hear of others doing something similar. Are there any clubs, etc that you have found that share travel info like you have - or provide info on locations? Thanks again!
Amazing!! For sharing travel info, I usually search for Facebook groups for expats, full-time travelers, and digital nomads in the city/area I’m planning on visiting. In larger cities, the groups also usually have events like trivia nights where we can go and meet other people.
@@ChrisAndEmilie Thank you SO much! We are enjoying your videos! SO INFORMATIVE! We are doing a viking cruise to South America this Christmas & will see Buenos Aries, Iguazu Falls, Montevideo, etc - so your videos have us extra excited. We are learning from you....that the $ we are spending now for speed/convenience of Viking trips for NOW is fine - our time is more valuable than the $. Plus, we're "shopping" places we might want to visit in depth in later years. When we retire, our $ will be less, but we'll have TIME to do the research (which honestly sounds fun) & most importantly LIVE in the places we'll visit! Thanks again! We love the idea of slow travel - & we love your videos!
I don't know what stopped me from booking a flight to British Columbia on the spot after watching this vlog. I love this😃😃. I am a fan now, stay in touch.
If u eat peanut butter that tells me what kind of Life style u have
Haha! Not sure what that means though. Something like 90% of Americans and Canadians eat peanut butter 😊
Is very expensive for us. But is cheapest for who earn in dolars. We want to buy technologies things in eeuu because is cheapest. but If you work remotely and earn in dollars you live like a king here. I love that they can enjoy the city. however is a bit sad that each day is more dangerous.
Yeah, traveling is amazing, but it's always really nice to come home. 🏡😁
What tire size did you guys pick??
yo, that's professional uploading! =)
I'm from Thailand. Do you like Thailand ? Welcome to Bangkok Thailand
Haha it is really an affordable place to live in...unless you are making youR salary in pesos(? Glad I found a video about salta
You can have a long rent of 300 square meters house with 900usd per.month !!! 😅

Doesn't tell me what I need to know (?) - about - '''how cheap''' - a US expat can possibly live - alone & retired in the Palermo -- 'area' -- where English is enough ? --- Studio - for a frugal lifestyle ? ? ? + Monthly budget for such. --?-- Seems like nobody is doing that ?
She says buenos arheszz 😂 Great vid.
I’ve been looking into window coverings and in the uk to either this method or the silver insulation stuff it will cost roughly the same I personally think the foam looks nicer
Above Average!! Very cool
Pedestrian-friendly? No way
Inflation aint much better here in Trudeaus canada.
Thanks for this ! I’m thinking of going August for only 6 or 5 days im just wondering how much money I should take . For those few days
Bienvenidos y buena vida!!!
Great video, you make a lot of great points! One question: do you normally spend a full 6 months traveling all at once and then return home for a full 6 months, or do you take your 6 months of travel and spread it out over the year (like a month home, then a month traveling, then another month home, etc.). We are considering adjusting our travel/home balance and are curious about how often you alternate between the two.
It varies a bit from year to year. We usually travel “far away” for about 4-5 months, then come home for a couple of months, then do a road trip for a month or two in the US/Canada, then go home for another couple of months before doing another big trip.
Thanks for sharing this, I've been wondering how I could use one of my old tents to make this type of shelter for my Forester. Very helpful!
Love the re-use! Good luck with your shelter!

Nice video. What year is your pilot? I did this with my 2010, but wondering if the next gen (post-2015) will hold a full size also.
We have a 2017.
Not being an ass…. Take off the sunglasses please
this was 4-5 months ago.. right now its becoming extremely expensive, because current gov keeps dollar exchange ratio very low
They say a wave of deflation is now beginning! I think it's good and the prices will go down! But everything is expensive!
Loved it when I was there 15 years ago. Thanks for the video!
My wife and I spent our honeymoon in Argentina in 2010. Back then, the exchange rate was 1 usd to 4 pesos. I can’t believe it’s getting close to 1000 pesos. We miss eating steaks at the parillas, riding bikes from winery to winery in Mendoza, and seeing iguazu falls by boat.
Hi
Thank you for this video👍
Good to know 2 Spanish word for passionfruit
Despite the inflation, it looks very affordable except the electronical conundrum and of course needing to travel every two or three months for a visa. I wanna expatriate, but can't afford to do so. I'm super bummed over the fact I can't afford to qualify for a retirement visa nor travel as a single dude tourist the rest of my life for we only get to live once and America is only good for taking a drive or going to Bestbuy for a video game system. YOLO
While I agree that Las Terranas is not inexpensive some things are. If you’re buying local products and not imported you’ll save money. We have stayed there for a few weeks and the grocery bills weren’t bad. Going out for a nice dinner in LT will not be cheap thou. Cheaper than Canada but not by a ton.
We noticed that too. It definitely helps to shop around and buy local as much as possible.
Wow, more expensive than I would've thought! And the electricity situation reminds me a lot of St. Kitts. Expensive and unreliable! The Caribbean is always beautiful though.
Yes, we had a bit of sticker shock! Especially after coming from Argentina. We understand the electricity in provided by a private company in Las Terrenas making it even more $$ than other parts of the island.
Are you traveling without kids?
I love Milei. I want to spend money in the Argentinian economy.
Life is beautiful, the bad thing is that many confuse beautiful with easy.
