So true!!

That pink hoodie is fresh ! haha

Hahhaha thank you man! I got it at H&M in T21 in Asoke... too hot to wear it though 😰😅

It's soooo good! (...between May-October), otherwise it is sooo grey and cold

@@trippinwitgeorge It's cloudy and gloomy. That's why I love the weather in England. I don't like the sun and the heat.😁

I am so with you. And congrats on taking the plunge man! It's funny, some people see "nomad" as "having an online business" - it's just about having an income, so whether that's TEFL etc...doesn't matter, as long as it's coming in. I just spent time in the UK and everywhere you go it just feels like they're fleecing you for everything they can. If you can get over to Southeast Asia, you immediately 2-10x your wealth. I like the creative side too, but if I had to rely on TH-cam...damn I'm down $500 a month haha, so I definitely "swallow the fish" paying the bills so I can do my creative stuff for long enough that can transition into the "true" passion. Good f luck man!!!!

LOL!!!! 😂🔥

😃❤

Thanks so much Mark! I hope you're enjoying Cambodia! 😃😃

are you on drugs? how does any of that relate to this video, like at all?

@@sheps5656 ?? What is the goal of your video then ?

Hey :) I am sorry if this made you feel more depressed. I hope you appreciate it is impossible to make a video on "here is exactly what you need to do to get exactly what you want" - as everyone likes, and dislikes, different things. This video was more to help highlight that if someone is unsure of what they want, but are vividly aware of what they do NOT want, then this can be a starting point to head in the right direction, as well as provide an orienting generalisation on how to get there. Re: TH-cam, I lose about $500pm (+ my time) making these videos, so I'd recommend not thinking all "TH-camrs" are "living the life", or that TH-cam is the vehicle through which to achieve that which is most desirable to you. My life is where it is because I, too, was depressed, because I was living a monotonous life I didn't love. If you feel you are somewhere you don't want to be, then it can at times be useful to use this as a motivating factor to create positive change. Wishing you luck.

@@trippinwitgeorge thank you for your answer. It’s nice of you.

You're very welcome. Thank you for watching. Best of luck! :)

Thanks man! I may, mayyy have borrowed this from Dan Koe....LOL - thanks for checking it man!

hope you get there bro

You got this man! Sometimes vividly experiencing things we know we don't like can be the best thing to happen to us, because it can force us to take action and move into the direction that we believe would be significantly better. It's easier than you think - small steps, over time, lead to big changes. Move fast, take action, and you can define the life you want to live. Good luck!

I knowwww it is horrific! But other than that...it is awesomeee!

Good to know - thanks!

Eyyyy love this - ENJOY!!

Thank you for watching! 🙏

Thank you man! Glad you enjoyed it :D

AGREED! One of the worst things about Bangkok :(

LOL!!! This might be one of the best comments I've got haha. Basically a caricature of a digital nomad!

Thank you 🙏 Yeah, I think the disappointment often comes from unrealistic expectations rather than Thailand being extremely disappointing :)

Thank you so much man!!! Hope you're doing great :D And we get to connect again soon :)

Thanks so much man - and good luck! Do you mean in terms of being employed by a company in Thailand? Or for remote jobs?

@@trippinwitgeorge Hi, can you let me know about these 2 options please

It is legal if it is homework on your computer and not from a Thai company. As long as you leave the country on day 180 so your not liable for tax.

@@harrymcfadden2572 sorry, but that is not true. As a Foreigner you need a Working Permit to work in Thailand. I am not talking about taxes, only about the working permit. Many DN got caught in Thailand, especially Chiang Mai, already. Google it.

Ah you're more than welcome! When I make these videos it is with the intention of helping just one person - so if this helped you, it was worth it :) Thanks so much for watching!

Thank you for sharing 🙏

I believe I specifically referenced tourist hotspots and the popular attractions

Eyyyyy nice, good luck man!!! You will love it!!!! And thanks so much for watching 👊👊👊

Thanks so much man, and congrats on being able to do it! Mannn Chiang Mai is so nice...such a good coffee shop selection there. Good luck man!! And thanks for watching :D

Haha, I am working on it!! 2025 (I hope)

It would be strange if I "didn't" feel differently in 10 years...

Thanks so much! Oooo interesting, good idea!! (I'd say contact some local agents, negotiate longer term deals, and leverage upfront payments to reduce costs ;) )

@@trippinwitgeorge awesome thanks! 🙏

You're welcome :) Good luck!!

Man I feel you! I think thinking in 5 year time frames is the way to go. How long have you been going?

@@trippinwitgeorge 4 years on and off, getting more serious now. I want to be in Thailand by 40 if i can do it, been going there nearly 10 years!

I wish you luck man!!! I am sure you've got it in the bag :)

Dude I love this idea!!!!! I think I might do it man. Is there anything in particular that you'd like to see? 🤔

Ummm just like things to avoid, behaviour patterns that are easy to fall into and how to avoid them. How to keep busy. How to meet people without it being alcohol related. How to keep yourself accountable. Basically just how to transition to life as a digital nomad without falling into the trap of thinking you’re on vacation, but more so realising that you’re still working… if ya get me haha

Mate this is brilliant. I am going to do it. Thanks for the inspo man!!

@@trippinwitgeorgeno worries brother! Keep up the good work!

Thanks so much for sharing :)

Hey your welcome. Yeah I took my passion for teaching then began working on putting together underground music events and helping promote underground music around South East Asia. Now I've been writing a lot of poetry and performing as well here in Hanoi, Vietnam. I'm published in my friends book You're crazy Volume 2 now I'm working on my own book as well which basically just drafting out the chapters headlines. I've got a load of stories and wild experiences in my life in general when it comes to living overseas.

As long as you got value out of it, that's the main thing

Check out the new DTV visa! That is the best one to go for it seems atm

Eyyy nice! I'd say it depends what you're after really. What sort of trip are you looking for? - Also, have you checked out the new DTV visa?

What is a dust seller?

@@trippinwitgeorge Very, very short... An individual who prey on the miseries of others by offering them happiness, wealth, and financial independence without effort, while traveling and drinking mojitos at a tropical beach. Most of the scam takes the form of courses, digital nomad schools, coaching programmes, etc. Most dust sellers are not even digital nomads. They traveled for one year or two at most, visiting as many places as possible, and now are trying to reap the benefits of that period. None of them have a real business. Their business is “teaching others” how to become digital nomads. Only a few of them are able to survive with their digital nomad courses, online classes, and schools. Many are still faking it until they make it. Others have a normal job nowadays or even live with their parents.

ooo love this comment! And I definitely know a few "dust sellers" then lol.I absolutely agree with you that there is this strange domino effect in the online courses space where coaches teach coaches how to teach other people to become coaches and there is actually no inherent value to be found. I'll play devil's advocate, as I do think all statements can be true but partial, and there are always 2 sides to a coin. I see "nomad" more as a label in relation to travel, and not so much as "making money online" - however the making money part is of course necessary to be a "nomad" - but someone could be retired, or have rental properties, or a remote job (or whatever) and life the life of a nomad. Also, I've personally invested $10k+ into coaches and mentors and my life is significantly better off for it - not that I couldn't have learnt the same info without it, but that was the path I walked. For example Sam Oven's Consulting Accelerator was transformative in my personal journey. Additionally, there are many companies like Masterclass, Udemy, etc - which thrive on the sale of courses. And I think that if someone, for example, travels and teaches other people "how to make money online" and they've never actually done it outside of selling courses and selling pipe dreams - then this person has no place to teach that which they haven't personally done - and the extent of their teaching should be contained to that which they know only. I know for me when I want to learn something new, I'll first go to TH-cam, and if it isn't there I'll look for a course by. credible teacher (ie...someone who has actually done the thing). I don't think there is anything wrong with selling courses, coaching, community, etc - as long as it is a fair and honest exchange of value for money in which everybody wins. From a business standpoint it is high margin and highly scalable, so I can see why people do it. And there are courses on things from coding to personal training to health and safety to...well, whatever. So I don't think "courses" are inherently bad - but certainly someone pretending to be something they're not, selling pipe dreams with no value - could and should absolutely fall under the term "scam". Anyone who uses things like "effortless", "turn key", "passive" - and so on, these are immediate red flags. I do think the nomad lifestyle is within reach for those with the raw skills and resources to make it happen (is it really that hard to get a remote job...) - but it will also require time, effort, frustration, disappointment, and in all honesty, most people won't make it (as is the distribution of most things). I think for me, it comes down to intention and authenticity. Thanks so much for sharing man!

Thank you for the feedback :)

The colour grading does feel a bit aggressive. Too much?

@@trippinwitgeorge yes too much, almost like the new and very hated apple ad Thailand color tint hehehe.

oh my...I don't need that 😅😅 thanks for flagging!!

Agreed! Thanks for watching :)

Thank youu! 🙏🙏
