Oh Andy, you can imagine how this video brought tears to my eyes. 😢 I loved how you put these pictures together to tell your story. And how after all these years and plenty of tough times you can look back and be so positive. As your little sister, I know we have really been so lucky in our lives. I’m wondering if you might make some videos about our visit. Like planning where to take us, what to show us, etc. Then do one while we’re there. Like how to show visitors the best of Malaysia. Plus, That way your audience will see you have a little sister too! I saw I was in a couple of pictures, but couldn’t help notice I was nearly nonexistent in your life. Hahaha Hope we can talk sometime this week before Christmas.
Hi, Taylor, your nephew Adam told me to watch this video so I just watched it with your great-nephew Nathan. We are in Melrose, Massachusetts (near Boston) for Thanksgiving. We miss you a lot but are happy you are enjoying life in KL. Love, Big Sis
Hi Taylor. Thanks for sharing. Honestly I think that you're a brave person and now living in a foreign country away from your family members. I can't imagine how my life would be when my parent is no longer around. But through this short video I've learned from you that life is not always good. Still, we can find happiness everywhere. Thanks for choosing Malaysia 🥰and I wish you the best of luck🤞
At least you are unique and honestly speaking, quite straightforward and suitable for living in South East Asia, a food haven and still cheap living as compared to other parts in different continents. ( Lis)
For some reasons, maybe due to TH-cam, and how amazing you’re are making interesting videos, I’ve always felt that you belong to our generation, the millennial and generation Tech. Until I see all these black and white pictures again haha. Truly young at heart!!
Hi! Your story wasn't boring at all; I loved watching your video and learning about your life. You've lived a very interesting life and it just keeps getting more interesting! What a great way to live and retire! I've been telling my friends about your videos so hopefully I will get some more subscribers for you; your videos are always informative and interesting and your life is an inspiration.
It's brave of you to share so much about your life on the internet. I am not sure I could be so candid. None the less it was very interesting to hear your background and your life before you emigrated to Malaysia. Quite cathartic listening to your life story. You were certainly a pretty child and a handsome young man. Apart from your sister who helped you out giving you a job for 10 years you didn't mention whether you keep in touch with your other siblings? I ask this as my brother and sister emigrated and we have pretty much no contact even with the luxury of FaceTime or Skype. My mother is still alive but in poor health and I tend on her with little other help. Living by the beach sounded idyllic. I'm sure it wasn't always so for instance when the weather was bad or stormy. Well, Taylor thank you for sharing your life story with us. It has certainly focussed my mind to get a wriggle on as life is quickly slipping by. It ain't no dress rehearsal for sure. Before you know it 10-20 years have flown by. All the very best with your life in KL and creating a successful YT channel. How's your efforts going to make a video about KL's bird sanctuary? That is such a special place.
I’m pretty close to my 2 sisters but my two brothers, twins ten years older than me, I haven’t been in touch with since my mother died. We were never close. I’ll get to the Bird Park eventually. 😂 Thanks again! 😊
That 70's moustache rivals Burt Reynolds or Sam Elliot ! Taylor, you have a great voice and delivery that is so clear to both expats and other people who speak different languages before English. Wonderful storytelling skills- 10k subs coming soon~
Taylor, I'm new to your channel but I start watching your videos and I discovered an awesome human being. It's nice to hear about your life story and other things.
You made me cry !, I have lost my mom and dad, sisters and brother, all passed, seeing your pictures reminded me of my growing up in the 60's, 70's and 80s, all I have is memories, sad, but happy memories if that makes sense......... Love to you Taylor, have a beautiful christmas and new year, I envy you in Malaysia
Woke up this morning wanting to rest and watching some video walks while listening to some talking videos and was thinking, hey why don't I continue Andrew's Penang video and before starting the video, I asked myself, what's the story behind Andrew anyway? Why is he here? And here I am watching this video and it is wonderful. I can sense how emotional it is for you to share your experiences as if you're holding back from tearing up (lol maybe it's just me) and I can feel it here too. I'm pretty sure there's more than this but maybe for another day lol also I can't believe that you're almost a decade here, wow! here's to more peaceful 2023 in Malaysia, happy new year Taylor
Hey! Hey! Hey! We have a young handsome Tom Selleck of Magnum PI fame here. 😉😆 You do looked like Selleck without the Hawaiian shirts in that video thumbnail photo, Taylor! Thank you for sharing your life stories & personal photos with us. I really enjoyed it. 🙄😁
Thanks Taylor!! Great to know you more now. It’s done so well on summarising your journey within 16mins.😀 Your voice and story telling is really a great match. So soothing for those who listen to it. Click 👍🏻 if you second on this statement. Thanks.
I just discovered your channel maybe 2-3 weeks ago -- glad this video popped up to watch. I was curious about your background. I'm an early retiree (I'm 60 - retired at 57). One of my college friends is from Malaysia - and moved back (back in 1986 or so when he graduated, he had to move back to KL because he couldn't find a job that would help with his immigration to the US. Again - I enjoy your channel - keep it up.
Andrew, thanks for this video. I stumbled on it by accident looking for places to retire outside of the US. I am seriously thinking Malaysia might be the place. Spending time with others who are at the same stage of their retirement life is what I want. New friends. New start. Maybe I can use some of my career skills in my retirement. I like to keep busy.
Andrew - thanks for a great story. Wonderful to hear about your childhood and background. Would love to see you interview your sisters if they are willing. They sound like loving and wonderful people who watched out for their "little" brother. All the best...
Hi Taylor, happy to hear of your life and about you having an enjoyable retirement in KL. Condolences on the passing of your parents. I lost my mom in 2009 which was overwhelming. My father immediately moved from the home I had grown up in, and moved to Texas, which is where he grew up. He kept asking me to come live with him, and due to worry about him, and my continued overwhelming grief of losing my mother, I left my career in the San Franciso Bay area and moved to Texas. I probably should have put more effort into getting a job in field of my $200K education, but instead got a menial job where I don't have to interact with anyone. My Dad passed way nearly two years ago, though it seems much more recent. With my retirement getting closer in view, I'll just stay in Texas till retirement, and then relocate somewhere else. I know letting go of a house full of stuff will be a tremendous challenge for me, because I inherited some of my mother's hoarding tendencies, but it would also be freeing to get rid of all of it. Thanks for sharing your life with your viewers. Take Care
Interesting life in the past & now too. They should have something in the MM2H program for TH-camrs who promote the country ! You are doing a great job !
Thank you for sharing part of your history. You sound like you have a kind heart, and I can't wait to see your future adventures (with Earl Grey) in Malaysia. Best wishes.
Thanks Taylor! I think Malaysia is the place for you...thank you always for sharing. I am sure you will motivate quite a few people to choose Malaysia as well!!
Hi Taylor, thank for for sharing your life story. You look cute when you were a little boy. Enjoyed listen to your life experience and sharing your photos for us to see. 💕
So Cool Man! 👍🏽 I appreciate you sharing. All of our journeys are different and I can appreciate some of the struggles you went through as I’ve had many of my own. Keep up the great work my friend ☺️
OMG… I was also a Visual Merchandiser for the last 10 years… I now run my own home-based florist business, and property agent on the side… we should totally catch up! Chriss here :-)
Thanks for sharing, Taylor! That was awesome! You were quite the hottie! Your videos have given me an interest in KL. I’m gonna have to get out there sometime in the next year.
Wow! What are the odds! I plan to retire a from now when I turn 70 which is how I discovered your videos. I was born in DC, grew up in Atlanta, and moved back to DC in '89. And I just came back from All Souls--where I've been a member since 1999--and turned on this video I plan to retire outside the US--most likely in Latin America, but Malaysia is a possibility if the visa situation gets easier. Your videos are always very informative and I particularly appreciated this one, since your trajectory is similar to mine.
Yes indeed, small world! I guess we were at All Souls at the same time! I started going shortly after Rob Hardies got there. I switched to River Road when I started working there. Good luck to you! 😊
You sure led a wholesome life and whats exceptionally stand out is your courage to start anew , seeking new adventures. May you blessed with good health always!
Dear Andrew, I do ,I really do so immersed into your livehood journey.that little boy indeed looked cute,into a grownup handsome guy!!..as now I hope you stay healthy and fit,..always take care and grow old gracefully .
Hi... Andrew, I usually don't listen to people telling stories on TH-cam but I have started loving your contents. I've learnt to love listening to your story tellings about you and your life which is so intriguing. Keep up with the great work and looking forward to see more videos💗💗💗💗💗
Beautiful video. It's wonderful getting to know you; listening to the story of your life. I love the way you narrate things, you're so articulate, and you make everything so interesting. Great job editing, I love the upbeat signature music, too.
Taylor what a lovely video. I enjoyed listening to your life story so much. And yes we are interested. I wish other TH-camrs would take the time as you did to give us a detailed account of their personal lives. TH-camrs are like little famous people to us and yes we are interested and curious. You did a wonderful job in sharing your life chronologically and with so many lovely photos. You come across as a very kind and gentle soul. It’s really a blessing to have so many siblings, so that when our parents are gone we still have an extended family. Yes you were lucky in many ways, but life had it’s struggles for you as well. I wish you all of the best.
Oh Andy, you can imagine how this video brought tears to my eyes. 😢 I loved how you put these pictures together to tell your story. And how after all these years and plenty of tough times you can look back and be so positive. As your little sister, I know we have really been so lucky in our lives.
