I have a sister who needs the dental implants with some jaw work building up her bones. American quality of work at half the cost. What country would you recommend?
@@voice.of.reasonamerica is extremely expensive and also it actually sucks here. you don’t get good value for your money at all. so yeah that is cheap to us, assuming we can keep making the same money that we got by on in the US
I am in my early 60s and retired at 53. Lots of people gave me pushback because they had difficulty grasping the concept of not working if you don’t have to. I looked at my life as stages. I earned everything I have now through a lot of hard work, but I owe it to myself to “stop and smell the roses” in my final stage of life. In my case I left the country after I retired and live in Latin America. It allowed me to get away from all the negative things happening in America while appreciating my new environment. I have yet to meet anyone who regrets retirement.
Nice way to retire. For me, I believe retirees who struggle to meet their basic needs are the ones who could not accumulate enough money during their active years to meet their needs. Retirement choices determine a lot of things. My wife and I both spent same number of years in the civil service, she invested through a wealth manager and myself through the 401k. We both still earning after our retirement fund has grown way more than it would have with just the 401(k). Haha.
I'm 59. I'm looking to retire at 62. I want to travel with my grandchildren (one at a time!) And travel all over. I would like to stay minimum a full month in each place. I'd like to stay in touch and get tips/advice when I'm in your area. If you're agreeable, of course! 😊
As ever, tons of carefully curated content: on the ground perspective coupled with research, delivered clearly and concisely. And some surprise destinations! Thank you for continually opening up the world to us. Awesome shirt! 💗
Super awesome T-shirt. I retired to Thailand from America a year ago. I always answer straight forward to the locals because I feel they are more genuine with the question, "Where are you from?" But for non-Thais, my answer is typically "Earth".
glad to see my home country EGYPT in the 1st place, Dahab is an amazing destination and it has breathtaking landscapes, thank you for highlighting Dahab and Egypt and you are all welcomed to our country :)
For Da Nang, I'm here now and I disagree on it not having lots of meetups. There's meetups every night. Multiple. There's Whatsapp groups for individual interests too. If you want to be, you can be social every night. I've been to three meet ups this weekend alone. I'm loving this city so much.
Thank you for commenting. I'll be in Vietnam in October to see if I want to retire there next year. One question please if you don't mind. Is there any pickleball in Da Nang? Thank you in advance.
@@sibaroochi I've only just arrived. I'm planning to stay 3 months. I know people who have been here for nearly a year, others longer. I like it but it's still new for me. It's apparently easier visa wise than Thailand - e.g. you don't get side-eyed when doing border runs.
Thanks so much Kristin for all the effort you put in this create these videos. I'm heading to Da Nang, finally able to be nomadic full time after many years trying to get here. Sold almost everything i have and feeling so light and agile :)
I started my Latin AMerican journey in Oaxaca CIty living in a nice apartment for less than $500 a month. I lived near the Walmart where there are no parks or anywhere else to go. The people in that area were not friendly, but I stayed until I could not stand the Firecrackers going off all night. I escaped to Costa Rica. Currently, I am staying at the Banana Hostel in the Candelaria de Bogota. I have a private room for about $14 a day, but I share the bathrooms and kitchen with the other guests when there are any. Ususally, I am the only one. If others come, they ususally have the dorm to themselves. I am ready to move on to another city or town in Colombia. I am thinking Medellin and then Jardin.
Sounds like the neighborhood might not have been a good one with mix of locals, esp if it's where Walmart situated it probably was aimed at certain foreigners???
Greetings Kristin 👋Thank you for yet another informative content, but what really caught my eye was the perspectives on your T-shirt! For over 25 years I have filled my job applications as follows: Nationality-Planet Earth, Race-Human and to date only one HR department re-questioned my nationality! 🙂I would have ordered a T-shirt to support your friend, but I can't say that I'm fully aligned with it all. In my view it should say: Birthplace-Earth, Race-Human, Politics-Open Dialogue, Religion-Love w/ Respect, Language-Education. (no weaponization in my book! ;-) Farewell wherever you are these days. 🙏
0:52 Oaxaca is an entire state, you might be referring to the capital of that state, Oaxaca City. 12:30 I stayed in Da Nang for a little while, it's a nice city, prices are quite good.
I had rhinoplasty in Türkiye in late 2023. I stayed in Istanbul and I spent $300 on food and exploring for 11 days. I had the best manicure of my life, and the most amazing hair blowout for next to nothing at one of the top salons in Istanbul which was awarded best salon every year since 2016. I loved Istanbul. The only thing I didn’t like was allllllllll the smoking.
@@suzierea2578 yes. 100%. I am a licensed and practicing medical provider in the U.S. I found an ENT who specializes in rhinoplasty. He did a fellowship in the U.S. I paid a small fraction of what I would have paid here in the states, and had a surgeon with more/better experience/exposure.
Well done Kristin! I traveled Egypt from Alexandria to Abu Simbel, and truthfully would NEVER have considered it to be a Nomad destination?!? (Perhaps my psyche was permanently marked by seeing that the usual method of ingress & egress for Cairo municipal transit is via bus windows. And by seeing that the best seats in 3rd class rail involved laying in the luggage racks, so that chickens did not crap on your feet. Or by having to reclaim my flip flops from a black African who was wearing mine to go to breakfast at the Cairo Youth Hostel. Or by my all time record for cheap accommodation: $1 US per nite in Aswan, although the walls were not plumb, due to a prior earthquake. Or by the macaroni & rice dinners < $ 1 US. What a place...)
Thanks, Kristin for the very educational content you put together with every video, definitely no waste. Lately, I have heard beautiful things about the Dominican Republic, and because it's so close to the US (my home base) I am considering moving there. I'd love your thoughts and opinions about this island since digital nomads are moving there at an increasing volume/rate. It'd be great to see anything from you, on the Dominican Republic, thanks in advance.
Good to see more places to add as potential cheap places to go. I don't think I've ever heard either India or Egypt listed as digital nomad destinations.
Thank you for sharing. Becoming digital nomad is the fastest way out of corporate slavery and towards financial freedom. Being able to choose your location is the best arbitrage opportunity ever. I moved to Quito, Ecuador 3 years ago and have no regrets. Very short and easy path to permanent residency so I can travel out of the country for 6 months a year while keeping my residency
Dahab looks great. I stayed up the coast in Nuweibaa a while ago. The internet was slow, being 1984, but the cost of accommodation pretty reasonable ($0, sleeping in a sleeping bag on the beach: not sure how that would fly now). Mt Sinai was an bus ride away and you could sleep atop the mountain in those days. Moses was long gone. Fascinating part of the world. Great list, thank you.
Most cities in Taiwan are also this affordable (< US$900/month). If you are a Caucasian, native English speaker, it's easy to find an English teaching job in Taiwan, and even their part-time position is enough to pay for your living expenses! If you don't want to teach but willing to work at restaurants, there are a few jobs in Taiwan too. Third option is to enter Taiwan as tourist, exit Taiwan every couple months before your passport's Taiwan entry stamp date, fly to somewhere close (e.g. Hong Kong, Okinawa, Palau), then return to Taiwan. Those flights are very affordable.
What on earth would you do in Dahab, when not looking at your laptop? It has a population of ca. 3000 people and is basically a small beach village. Criteria for a location to *live* are different from a two-week vacation spot.
Scuba dive, relax, explore, travel to other places in the region (as I said in the video). Also, these aren’t places to live permanently, these are places to stay briefly as a digital nomad. Most nomads stay places anywhere from 1 week to 3 months.
Going to Mexico for the 1st time on September 1st. Blitzing 4 scuba dives with the new license, a couple of cenotes, the sea turtles & a quadbike jungle tour. ... Just hope we don't suffer at the mercy of the weather.
My Problem is Cold Weather, For me, 75F - 80F Degrees everyday is Perfect, Argentina and Colombia are Cheap But they Have Cold Weather and that's a Problem For Me ......... i lived in New York City For 16 years and they were the worst years of my life because of the Cold Weather, i Felt like an ice Cream
@@vladoglobetrek I just came from Leticia, Colombia 🇨🇴 which is in the Amazons. I was told to get a yellow fever vaccine before I could go which I did. Not sure if that could help.
you might want to look up how to prevent or treat bug-borne microbe infections and parasites; we should be doing that in the USA and the West as a rule and we are sick for abandoning that practice.
I'm surprised Philippines had no towns on this list. I've been to Thailand stop in the Philippines in Thailand's more advanced of course but the Philippines you can go with a regular visa and just keep extending it for 3 years leave one day come back and do it again there's not many places you can do that without buying a certain kind of Visa
The reason I didn’t add anywhere in the Philippines is because the destinations aren’t ranked as highly by people on Nomad List. I’m not sure why, but I know the internet can be slow and spotty there.
@@TravelingwithKristin because the Philippines is a vacationers/, tourists and EXPAT destination it's NEVER BEEN on the digital nomad list as a place to do business ABROAD at least not in the traditional sense. It's considered a talent resource center that won't change as The Philippines has one of the highest bilingual rates in Asia for business. Next will be Vietnam but not so much for American companies. Japan has a grip on Vietnam at the moment for human capital
Thank you for this info. I'll be 54 this month and realized if I stay in America I'll have to work until I die basically. I will be leaving eventually. Now just trying to learn as much as I can.
Before you jump into the groups as a newbie and bombarding it with a bunch of newbie question, please make LIBERAL use of the search glass search at the top of the group to research your initial set of questions first! Otherwise, you will get flamed by the group because we get sick and tired of people asking the same questions thousands of times when a simple search would have answered it for you.
I want someplace with warm weather, not far from nice beaches, laid back vibe yet clubs bars and restaurants. Boating, horses. Not to far from major overland park with a great hospital. A place I could work teaching English, trollies and cheap transportation so I don’t need a car and a vibrant expat community. Does it exist at these prices?
Hi! That would exist in Mexico, Costa Rica, Argentina…. Possibly France and Spain. But the salaries could be low. I would check out websites for teaching English abroad. I have a podcast about that here podcast.travelingwithkristin.com/how-to-make-10kmo-as-a-digital-nomad-copywriter-in-budapest/
Thanks Ian! High inflation usually ends up helping nomads with stronger currencies. When I lived in Australia in the early 2000s, everything was 50% off for me with US dollars
I enjoy your videos, clear and informative. Where are you in this video; looks like a very lovely setting on an ocean. Would you share location please?
What do you think of Malta? I am actually a Maltese American. I've heard being a digital nomad there is a thing now. Wondering what your opinion is, Thanks.
Finally India made it to your list :) Since last year one can use 5G which has good speeds of above 500 Mbps on a phone and hotspot - this is for less than $7 per month :) - unlimited 5G package. One can also get classic broadband internet - here expats can take 1 Gbps speed at $50/month and Basic 100 Mbps is for around $10 per month. Travel within India for around $50-70 per one way flight normally. Lots of excellent cities outside New Delhi to visit as well: Chandigarh, Mumbai, Pune, Goa, Munnar, Dehradun, Rishikesh, and numerous others. All India cities can give you the highest affordability, especially if living outside the major metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. No country is perfect, just like San Francisco you will find dirty smelly areas every now and then, however, India does beat many in terms of affordability, technology and cost of living and above all the cuisine is rated in top 5 in the world. Acceptance to LGBTQ is still a distant dream so keep a low profile if in the spectrum. Lots of love.
OMG NONE OF THESE ARE IN EUROPE!!! Could you please make one also for someone who is stuck in the EU because of the companys legal restrictions? Its an odd case but literally the only thing they dont let me do is to work outside of the EU, which i really dont want but its a good workplace at the moment and it pays good, however things are so f-in expensive now in the EU that I just dont want to be here at all
KL is okay--just can’t walk anywhere, as it’s so spread out and good luck if there’s a side walk. It’s very advanced too, so it gives me American vibes, which I don’t “love” when trying to avoid that🤣 Great medical care there though. I highly recommend anything in Malaysia’s medical system. Top notch and very affordable-whilst speaking English
Thanks Kristin. Another inspirational and informative video. Just pray these gems don’t become Californicated and thus affordable only to the wealthy elite.
Being surrounded by bar and restaurants? No thanks. Been there. Too noisy. Music till morning. Can't sleep. Also, Delhi? Really? Oh, God, no! Please, NO! xD
Im from turkey but i live in london but i don’t know if I agree with istanbul you need money to live good quality of life there even more so 3 grand a month

Otherwise, you will get flamed by the group because we get sick and tired of people asking the same questions thousands of times when a simple search would have answered it for you.
@@sheilakay4138 good point
Please keep me anbreast of your developments.
Hi Kristin, thanks for another great video! Just wondering where you were in this video? It reminds me of Sentosa in Singapore? 🙂
Hi Lydia! I filmed on an island in Miami where I’m staying for a few months but it has a similar climate to Singapore!
❤ the t-shirt

Where can I get a shirt like yours

How do you find cheap accommodations? (Not including AirBnB, Selinas or Outside since those can be pricey)
I love your T-shirt.
Thank you!
Where did you get your shirt!? I love it!
My friend’s foundation: 22stars.com/product/t-shirt/
Love your shirt.
Thank you! Here is the link 22stars.com/product/t-shirt/
love the shirt
I want someplace with warm weather, not far from nice beaches, laid back vibe yet clubs bars and restaurants. Boating, horses. Not to far from major overland park with a great hospital. A place I could work teaching English, trollies and cheap transportation so I don’t need a car and a vibrant expat community. Does it exist at these prices?
Hi! That would exist in Mexico, Costa Rica, Argentina…. Possibly France and Spain. But the salaries could be low. I would check out websites for teaching English abroad. I have a podcast about that here podcast.travelingwithkristin.com/how-to-make-10kmo-as-a-digital-nomad-copywriter-in-budapest/
I tried to download the budget sheet, but it just sent me a 'confirmation of subscription' for the email list, which was not what I asked for.
Thank you so much for the video
You are so welcome! 💛
I’ve seen countries like Turkey and Argentina have high inflation rates. Does that help or hurt digital nomads? Thanks for all of your great videos!
Thanks Ian! High inflation usually ends up helping nomads with stronger currencies. When I lived in Australia in the early 2000s, everything was 50% off for me with US dollars
@@TravelingwithKristin Thanks!!
Another great video! Love the shirt! Where can I find it?
I enjoy your videos, clear and informative. Where are you in this video; looks like a very lovely setting on an ocean. Would you share location please?
Thank you for your kind words! 🌟 I’m glad you find the videos informative. The location in this video is in Miami Florida! 🌊📍
What do you think of Malta? I am actually a Maltese American. I've heard being a digital nomad there is a thing now. Wondering what your opinion is, Thanks.
Finally India made it to your list :)
Since last year one can use 5G which has good speeds of above 500 Mbps on a phone and hotspot - this is for less than $7 per month :) - unlimited 5G package.
One can also get classic broadband internet - here expats can take 1 Gbps speed at $50/month and Basic 100 Mbps is for around $10 per month.
Travel within India for around $50-70 per one way flight normally.
Lots of excellent cities outside New Delhi to visit as well: Chandigarh, Mumbai, Pune, Goa, Munnar, Dehradun, Rishikesh, and numerous others.
All India cities can give you the highest affordability, especially if living outside the major metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata.
No country is perfect, just like San Francisco you will find dirty smelly areas every now and then, however, India does beat many in terms of affordability, technology and cost of living and above all the cuisine is rated in top 5 in the world. Acceptance to LGBTQ is still a distant dream so keep a low profile if in the spectrum.
Lots of love.
Thank you so much for sharing these insights about India! It's wonderful to hear all of these. Lots of love back to you! 🇮🇳
Looking to visit Lombok by 2026. Thanks for the video!
My pleasure; hope you enjoy! It's beautiful there 😍
What software do you use to edit your videos?
I love the culture
As of 15 July 2024, Thailand increased their free visa from 30 days to 60 days for most countries.
Thanks for the update! 🌟
OMG NONE OF THESE ARE IN EUROPE!!!
Could you please make one also for someone who is stuck in the EU because of the companys legal restrictions?
Its an odd case but literally the only thing they dont let me do is to work outside of the EU, which i really dont want but its a good workplace at the moment and it pays good, however things are so f-in expensive now in the EU that I just dont want to be here at all
KL is okay--just can’t walk anywhere, as it’s so spread out and good luck if there’s a side walk. It’s very advanced too, so it gives me American vibes, which I don’t “love” when trying to avoid that🤣 Great medical care there though. I highly recommend anything in Malaysia’s medical system. Top notch and very affordable-whilst speaking English
hanks for sharing your experience and recommendation! 🙌

Is it safe to stay in mexico oxaca?
Peace is good.
Are you selling the shirt? So nice
Thanks
No problem! 😀
Thanks Kristin. Another inspirational and informative video. Just pray these gems don’t become Californicated and thus affordable only to the wealthy elite.
Thanks Malcolm; I also hope they can grow at a sustainable pace!
exactly, locals understandably loath us for driving up prices so they can't live there.
I like your shirt ❤
Thanks! I bought it from my friend, Stella, the founder of 22 Stars Foundation. She might still have them available on her site.
@@TravelingwithKristin awesome! Thanks! Great way to share your values!
How can we get your 👕 shirt...#LuvIt!!!
Love your videos, but I'm a bit outdated; I'm looking to be an analog nomad
Thank you for your kind words! Wishing you all the best on your journey!
Delhi is ok if you have high resistance to bad smells
Being surrounded by bar and restaurants? No thanks. Been there. Too noisy. Music till morning. Can't sleep.
Also, Delhi? Really? Oh, God, no! Please, NO! xD
Im from turkey but i live in london but i don’t know if I agree with istanbul you need money to live good quality of life there even more so 3 grand a month
Thank you for your feedback as a local citizen 🙏
I like your T-shirt
Thanks! Me too 😊
wooow nice shirt
Thank you! 22stars.com/product/t-shirt/
Oaxaca 300$ rent....i am nott sure about this 🎉🎉🎉 did you visit lately
You have to search around there are people you should probably hit the ground running asking around
Ugh, those commercials
S😮
Factor in pollution levels, like smoking a carton of cigarettes a day without lighting up.
and safety levels
