Thanks for tuning in and commenting, Simon! Wish you a very Happy New Year as well! 🎉

I usually feel better and have more energy if I stick to intermittent fasting. OMAD is a little more of a challenge. I kind of cycle in and out of these things though, and definitely agree eating is one of the great pleasures of life! Lol...Yes, at seasonal jobs food is sometimes provided, or part of the contract, and some places will at least give you a discount on meals and groceries. Definitely a nice perk with the high cost of food these days. Thanks for watching and commenting. Wish you a very Happy New Year! 🎉

It's similar here, full retirement is 67, and they are always talking about raising the age. Thanks for your comments, Simon. Hope you have a great Christmas as well! 🎄❄☃

I agree, if you enjoy what you're doing, why not keep going. It's good to have hobbies, things to motivate you, and working a low stress job for a few hours a week might work for some people. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Hey Simon! I hear you, it was about as close as I want to get with a grizzly as well! I was always on high alert and carried bear spray when hiking in Yellowstone. Were you hiking when you came across the bear at the Tatry Mountains? Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Have a great weekend!

@ yes we where hiking up to the start point of a climb up Rysy 🏔️ the Tatry have a lot of bears the most in one region in Europe

Hopefully the bear is sound asleep in the den now! Lol...This footage was taken at some point in the summer of 2023. Thanks for watching and commenting

No worries, glad you enjoyed! I think it's a great choice! :) Wish you all the best when you start seasonal work. Would love to hear how it goes, keep us posted. Thanks for watching!

That is awesome, Monument Valley sounds like the perfect place to be during the pandemic. I know for people who lived in GC Village during that time when the park was closed, they pretty much had the canyon all to themselves lol...I agree Arizona has some amazing places for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting!

It's an awesome place to get out into the desert and escape the city for a while. I will definitely be back some time. Vegas really is surrounded with great places. 2 hours to Zion, a couple hours to a few other national parks. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thank you for watching and commenting. Glad you enjoyed the video! Please stay tuned as I'll be doing more videos on this topic in the near future 😊

Thank you for the sub as well! I really appreciate it

Thanks for your comments! I think it is definitely viable for older people. When I have worked seasonal jobs in national parks, there are usually people of retirement age working for a few months during the summer. It's a great way to spend a lot of time outdoors in a national park. For people just visiting, it's hundreds of dollars just staying in a nearby hotel for a night or two

As for my older age, I guess I will just be winging it. I feel I have had a non-traditional work life so far, so I will likely have a non-traditional kind of retirement or semi-retirement. I'm working on projects to bring in some passive income, and work a few hours a week online as well. Hoping to keep building these projects in the coming years. Thanks again for tuning in. Have a wonderful week!

Awesome! Which city are you going to? I'm hoping to be there at some point early next year as well. I wish you the all the best on your travels!

@@WanderingMonk55 I will be in Zhuhai and Guangzhou.

It is the same here, it's really sad to see the decline of the US over the past few years. Getting harder just to afford a basic, simple life these days. Thank you for watching and commenting, my friend. Have a great week 🤗

Thank you for watching and your kind comments. Believe me, my friend, my life is not that glamorous! Haha lol...Nothing to envy, anyone can do it. I do not have passive income right now, but I'm working towards that. I put together a small savings which is like a cushion (I plan to make a video about this topic soon too), and I can take several months off to travel when a seasonal job finishes. I also found some online work (like 15 hours weekly) which I've been doing recently, and is giving me more flexibility to travel and take time off. No home base, just living a nomadic kind of life, staying in seasonal housing and sometimes Airbnbs for a month at a time. I like the flexibility with this. How about you, are you considering seasonal work or maybe teaching English overseas?

@@WanderingMonk55 I'm not sure, this whole concept is so foreign to me, but I'm so sick of the 9 to 5 grind...humans were not meant to live like this! Your path sounds amazing.

Thanks for watching and your great comments! I'm a huge fan of Timothy Ward, he is an inspiration. I always say I wish I would've found out about seasonal work sooner too lol...I hear you it's a way out of the soul-crushing 9-5 existence for sure, at least this option is out there!

Thank you for identifying this whale! I wasn't completely sure, so I appreciate it. From talking with people here in Ketchikan, apparently there are a couple whales who hang around this area, and are spotted from time to time close to the docks and the town. It was really unexpected for me, and I feel lucky to have caught a glimpse of one so close! Have a wonderful day 🤗😊

So true! Thanks so much for a very insightful comment ❤

One of my favorite cities. It used to be known as a bohemian place, a lot of artists, and very affordable to live there. Now it's tough, rents are very high, and jobs there don't pay very much. Still a great and unique place to visit though

That's great advice, I totally agree! Once you have that base, you are free to follow your heart! ❤

Right?! That seems to be the situation many in the US are trapped in these days. Stuck on the hamster wheel. Thanks so much for watching and your great comments, I appreciate it! 🙏🏽❤

I've been doing the same over the last few years. Trying to find remote work recently, but also hope to just work the summer seasons in/near national parks here in the US, then spend the other months of the year traveling and working on my own projects of writing, music, and making videos. The trouble sometimes is finding work that pays well enough to save and not need to work for a period of time. What kind of seasonal or part time work do you do?

@@WanderingMonk55 I raised calves one year. I work two days a week now as a caregiver. The rest of my time i live life!

@@WildHare-fb7ry That is awesome to hear!

"Elite cattle system" I love that, so true! Thanks for your great comment!

Thanks so much for your support, I really appreciate it! See you again soon, my friends. Have a wonderful weekend 🙏🏽❤
