- After three months of being quarantined at my old apartment, and being the only one there for the past month, I've finally moved into a more social space. Watch the old video here: • Quarantine Life: My Da...

Kabalana, Ahangama.
Where in the world is everyone living right now, and how much are you paying per month?
Australia 1200 PM
Myanmar $500 p/m
Miami, FL $2000 USD
Tamil nadu free
one bed room appatment 150 kd a month in kuwait
Biggest reason why I want to move to South East Asia, that cost of living is legendary.
That was special quarantine rate
I love this video bro and I can relate to that feeling that's hard to describe. It's like the whole point is to travel and experience new places, but then you fall in love with so many of the places you visit and have a longing to revisit or the thought crosses your mind to even settle for a while.
Exactly...it's a good problem to have as at least we know what makes us happy and that we have options. Either way, it's better than the traditional 9-5 life back home in one location. =)
Looks peaceful there! Nice Johnny!
Hi Johny, it's great watching your videos! I have been a Nomand in my own country, Poland, since the beginning of April when I left London with the intention to join my fiancee in Sri Lanka. Thank you for sharing your experiences! It's nice to be able to share with someone the same feeling. I hope soon I will be able to put my feet on this beautiful Island! ☺
Awesome! You’ll enjoy it when you come!
@@JohnnyFD Thank you👍😊
Very nice ! I have two cinnamon gardens and a big garden here in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 Proud to be a Sri Lankan. We are very safe here.
That's a nice place to relax at!
Cool video Johnny, glad to see that you enjoy your new place. That's a great deal for all that your getting there. Stay safe. 👍
That’s awesome! Love the communal style living u have set up. Sri Lanka is definitely on my bucket list to visit. It looks beautiful and I hear the food is amazing. Were you using your Apple AirPods for the audio? The audio came out nice and clear With no real background noise
I'm liking this place so far as well! And yes, it was with the Apple Earpod. I'm glad the audio came out well. I think it was easy though as it's super quiet here so there isn't much background noise anyways.
Johnny FD yeah I agree, but even when you were by the road the background noise didn’t over shadow your voice that bad it was still clear. Did you film on your phone or a camera?
Happy news for you... Lockdown and curfew is lifted from 11th May for the whole country... Corona is under controll, spred is prevented.... so you can travel free again... but stay safe 👍
I hope this is true! I won't count my chickens before they hatch though. =)
So johnnyfd how how did you find this awesome place. And how did you move all your stuff 🌈
Someone had mentioned it in one of the local chats. My stuff surprisingly all fit in one of the tiny tuk-tuks. =)
Hey Johnny, I've been wondering how and where do you meet so many new people in all the places you travel? Is it like a fb group or something for digital nomads?
Yup there's a few. I join ones when I go to new cities. Here's one i'm in: facebook.com/groups/nomadsummit/
Great channel. Keep them coming.
More to come!
If worst come to worst, you can return to the old place; as you left them amicably.
Simply Amazing
Sri lanka is a nice place mate.. you won't regret staying in sri lanka when lockdown is over.. stay strong
Thanks Priyath, things are pretty good here so I'm glad I'm locked down here and not in many other places in the world.
Great update
The fact that you are saving a lot of money is the biggest plus. How's wifi in the new place?
The WIFI in the restaurant area is decent. In the Villa itself it's bad, so I use 4G when i'm in my room. But in the coworking space it's great.
Johnny FD one thing I remember about SriLanka is how cheap data was
What a steal. I searched your videos and haven't seen one (at least titled) about the food in Sri Lanka. I've been to Bali, Chiang Mai, Kuala Lumpur, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Medellin, etc, etc, etc. How does the food compare to places like Thailand & Vietnam (taste, quality, safety, availability, etc)? Are there food stalls everywhere like Thailand?
Sri Lanka is amazing in many ways, but their food scene isn't one of them. Rice and Curry is the staple meal, and it's okay, but not great. It's close to the Nepalese Dahl Bhat and nothing like Indian Curries. International food here is okay, but again, nothing to write home...or even write about. That's why I never mention it.
The only thing I really liked eating here is the Chicken Biryani, and the Egg Hoppers, but i've literally had it 50 times now, and am missing Thai Food, or even Vietnamese food. No street stalls here at all.
@@JohnnyFD Thanks. I imagined that was the case but have never been so thanks for clearing that up.
For the last couple years I've lived in bali and Thailand living for under 1000 a month. And I moved to New York city because I thought the virus would ravage like crazy in southeast asia so I left and went to new york.. turns out I was much better off staying in Asia lmao. I'm stuck in New York til the travel bans end and I'm going back to asia asap. I totally regret coming to new york... and coming back to americabecause I thought the virus would be horrible in southeast asia.. was alot worse here.. smh I'm paying around 1500 to 1700 in New York city area. Cant wait to be back in asia. Bro. Also the mindsets in america is so toxic.. cant stand being back here.
Ouch, that sucks. Sorry to hear you went back to NY. I'd hate to be surrounded by all the fear and negativity there right now, and pay for it in high costs of living as well.
Nice your smile
Looks like the house from Bruce Lee's movie The Big Boss
That's fitting! If it's good enough for Uncle Bruce, it's good enough for me. =)
@@JohnnyFD do you know if they house building style has a name?
Yes Johnny, gettin those awesome coronavirus deals.
US$8 with air-con was a good deal. Wasn't possible in Trincomalee during quarantine and kitchen facility was hard to find.
I wonder if it's just because there is less competition there in Trincomalee. In the south and in arugam bay, there are 1,500 ($8) A/C hotels everywhere during this time.
@@JohnnyFD Good to know. Probably it's time to leave Trincomalee.
Waiting for your video sir
So do u live here 2021??
Hi Johnny nice place do you plan to do any scuba diving in Sri Lanka and if yes which areas?
i looked into it, and from what i researched the diving here is okay, but nothing to write home about for those who have dove a lot.
Wow
Nice place
Whats the town that you lived in , in Sri Lanka?
It's a beach town in the south near Ahangama.
Thank you, Jonny
I live in Sausalito, California. I pay around $2,800 a month on my morgage, property taxes, & hoas.
Wow. That's literally a year's living for me here...including utilities. =X
Hi Johnny it was very deligjted n chek my fb profile
How i contact u
@@JohnnyFD Do you have a video on how you make money? I'm very interested in retiring early.
Why do you need cheap rent if you make so much money?
What's the pint of wasting money on things he spends on experiences and also saves and invest as all people should do instead of crying and expecting help from the government (not having 3 months at least of expanses is so sad and pathetic )
what is the name of this place

Kabalana, Ahangama.
Thank you for sharing your new awesome place ' My most favorite was the four legged doggie ANGELS and the beautiful tree's and the colorful hammocks ..Life is about taking chances being confident and believing in ourselves and our dreams ' but sometimes in bad circumstances it is good to take a step back and put safety first and survival second..The times have changed and it is crazy as FUCK and DEADLY TOO .. It definitely would have been a wiser thing to be away from others ' When YOU had a place to do so , than go into a place where more people hangout ..These are definitely NOT the times to socialize and be normal again' Even if such life style is missed and desired ..As these times are NOT only about US ' it's about making sure innocent other lives DON'T get hurt by being selfish and arrogant.. I have said this before ' The worse is still to come and people behaving in a immature irresponsible way DOESN'T HELP BUT MAKE IT WORSE ..I guess the human beings who act's so ignorant and selfishly have to learn by themselves and see how it's going to END ..What the price they have to pay for the stupidity foolishness dumb ass ways they behaved being. ARROGANT AS FUCK WITH FULL OF IGNORANCE..
If I was YOU ' Would I have stayed at the old place YOU moved from no matter how crazy I feel being alone .. word of advice to YOU ' Don't try to go away to a some other country...Sri Lanka is the safest place to be in at this moment and it is cheap too ..
People have no idea how this situation is going to backfire in a worse way than the first time.. Lot of innocent people are going to get hurt and loose their lives because of the stupid foolish dumb ass fucked up choices what they made being selfish .. SAD
STAY SAFE ..
Being so dependent on tourism, that country must be suffering a lot
They've been hit hard. It's a shame as well as Lonely Planet named Sri Lanka top place to visit in 2019.
Jonny get a better camera!!!
I could, but then my videos wouldn't be as spur of the moment and authentic as doing it with my phone. It's a trade off.
