A thoughtful video looking into the benefits of being a nomad. It reminded me of the surfboard riders in the 80s who pursued the perfect wave, the perfect weather migrating from Sydney to Queensland to Bali to Nth Perth then back to Sydney. The difference is now we're pursuing the perfect economic market, the perfect sale. Thank you for another insightful vid Michael.
Dear Michael I can totally understand why you are living in Bulgaria. It's safe, has wonderful nature with the mountains and parks, got the Black Sea resorts and the winter ski resorts plus 10 percent flat rate tax it sounds so good. 👍 One of the things that is daunting about such a move and it's why I went to Malta instead even though I liked Sofia so much is not knowing the local language. I didn't know about your services . It was April 2019 when I was there and the idea of dealing with the administration and all the bureaucracy was just too scary so I left. Unfortunately I am not confident to leave Malta just yet and move to Bulgaria because I believe once again from news reports these dreaded lockdowns may sweep across Europe again 😞 so may as well just stay here for now.
@@OffshoreCitizen Hi, indeed I am hoping to be back in Bulgaria by January at the latest. Malta is by no means terrible but the vibe is so negative at this time. The grey listing has definitely dampened things and until they get " their house in order "so to speak I don't see things getting much better. However those wanting to get access to an EU passport I think it is still a very good option and who knows how long it lasts. If you involved in Igaming industry then no reason to leave yet but otherwise I don't see much point in remaining here. They have focused mainly on passport schemes, Igaming and construction. Will that continue to payoff ? I think this article that appeared yesterday here in Malta says it all. Hope you don't mind my putting this link but so you get an idea of what I am saying. timesofmalta.com/articles/view/most-foreign-investors-find-malta-unattractive-for-business-survey.908899
Another great content! Many thanks indeed! "Being in some place that is going to improve, rather in some place that gonna decline"... yes, these places often have a great "investing potential" but a small portion of "conservatism" in taking decisions would always (or in most cases) keep you on the safe side. 😉
I live in the Philippines and have done so for about ten years. There are some things about living in a place like this which make living here more interesting and dynamic. Places are open very late and you have so much to do and see here in the tropics. Massages and personal services are cheap, maids etc are affordable and pleasant. I can get most things I can get in the west, maybe the selection is not as good, but I can get steaks, seafood, produce, appliances, internet, electronics etc, and most major retailers are here. I have no issues with taxes etc, most of the government services are not really connected and they are so used to overseas remittances coming in from OFWs nothing coming in from my accounts overseas is taxed. Also, the cost of medical and dental is very affordable, and almost everything is available here. Cash is still king as well. I have both a Canadian and Australian passport and I’d rather live here because of the cost of living and the climate. I lived in Dubai before this, so it’s a couple of extremes, however I find places like Canada boring and expensive, and the tax situation in Australia drives me nuts.
@@OffshoreCitizen Generally I'd say making predictions is a mugs game - but I'm pretty comfortable saying that humans will always do what humans have always done. They'll continue to live together in tribes and - critically - have single consolidated power structures inside those groups. The stuff around the edges might change, the terminology might change, but that's the general shape it will keep. My own view is that the ideal world would be a world full of absolute dictatorships, BUT, people have complete freedom to move between countries to find one that works for them, on balance. And frankly - if you have an above-average income, that's already the way it is for you today.
Yeah very true. Though I tend to think people are probably less adventurous than they could be in that regard. I've got some good friends who have taken their kids all over and I think it can be done well.
@@OffshoreCitizen Agreed. You often tend to overprotect your kids. There is a balance to find between having them grow up in the slums and in the upper east side.
Great question, in general i think Poland will benefit from work moving from higher cost countries but I think they've got too much bureaucracy right now. What do you think?
How do you see the Balkan region (especially the countries in the EU like Bulgaria and Croatia) evolving regarding C-restrictions, vaccination and general personal freedom?
So far they seem quite resistant to restrictions. What I don't think they've found though is a good middle path. Unfortunately, countries like Bulgaria have tended to do well more by luck than smart strategy.
Furthermore, I do have an anarchist perspective on history. I strongly do believe that the Era of the Nation State is about to die in this century. Nation State Republics emerged between the 18th and the 20th century as a viable alternative to absolute monarchy. Now that monarchies have mostly disappeared, people will start to question the efficacy and meaning of nation states in an increasingly globalized world. Do we even need a government in the traditional sense of the word? How about living in a city that is operated by a business or corporation for profit? Wouldn't that make much more sense than whatever corrupt political elites we've around today?
I'm not a believer in a return to something more like a city state model as it doesn't address the need for global coordination and cooperation mechanisms that weren't necessary during the age of the city state. I think something new will emerge that we haven't seen before that addresses both sides.
Great discussion and topic. Finding that best country can be different for everyone, but its always fun to hear an expert traveler compare the pros and cons!

The west is where you make money, but if you are not careful with your finances, you will lose it very quickly which is why moving to a less developed country will help you maintain your wealth
I totally get what you are saying, I am from Ghana in live in Luxembourg.And I still can't say which is better Its easier when I just use the table developed vs developing nation, but when I consider all variables that matter to me puff it becomes hard say.
@@OffshoreCitizen My answer used to be a definite yes, but the best situation is to keep both. Working in the EU is great for raising capital (employment being the easiest option) but I have made a higher ROI on investments back in Ghana (real estate and transport business). So channeling that capital back home for high returns works out for me. I stand to benefit from EUs safety net if I need it, no such thing exists in Ghana. Ghana has very relaxed rules, to the point I have all my business registrations based there and funnel all businesses through there. Initial idea was to setup a business in Luxembourg but puff its a nightmare and no proper incentive to go out on your own. We can talk about the weather, we can talk about why I might not want the EU citizenship but rather looking forward to the goodies(better tax and residency conditions) the EU keeps handing out to attract third country nationals and how I might miss out if I naturalize etc. You get where am going with this , so many pros and cons that it almost evens out. So best solution for me is to just keep both going.
Great topic...give us your top examples...Philippines was on a growth tear and greater integration into global economy...now 3 steps back..how do some of these MADdemic spots recover any time soon.
@@OffshoreCitizen In SE Asia...must to be Thailand...almost perfect until Delta..and still they push to find a way back near normal. Rug Pull out of Malaysia on their visa. Philippines among the worst in the world...I pray they find a way to recover...but no where in sight. Vietnam just duck and cover.
The Western "developed" countries have lost their moral, cultural, and social compass. Is Australia, Canada or the US a good example of a country of laws and freedoms? If so whatever any and all trade-offs are worth it.
@@OffshoreCitizen yes I live in Cape Town. Extremely beautiful place. Lovely weather. Friendly people. But unfortunately a lot of inequality and crime in certain areas. Very similar to a place like Rio de Janeiro.
You're absolutely 100% correct❗ I'm living in the super "developed" republic of Germany, and I'm trying to escape with my hands and feet from the authoritarian money / power grab that is happening over here. I just have absolutely no clue where I'm supposed to escape. The future of Germany (and Europe overall) appears to be very bleak and my head is spinning. 😥
Less-developed countries in the Western Hemisphere sure seem to have less mandates and restrictions due to the Covid Pandemic which is a MAJOR PLUS! Nicaragua, Mexico etc,
Very perceptive! A has been country is likely to have more civil unrest that a wannabe country. You just need to go to a wannabe that has medical tourism if you’re starting to be long in the tooth (gettin older).
Well, the key point here is "leaving a permanent job in Germany". Ukraine? Yes, it might have a good potential in the long run.... BUT! the uncertainty, unstable political situation and such an aggressive neighbor (from east)... all that would make think twice before even THINKING to settle there.

That is all you need to know really. Move to where this is not occurring. I could go into this subject much more deeply but i will leave it at that.
Another point.... with regard to "worse countries".... would be that of cryptocurrency adoption in the future. Those countries that benefit the most from the current fiat monetary system.... and that can readily attract foreign capital.... aren't going to embrace crypto. But there are a number of smaller countries that could potentially benefit by allowing their residents.... as well as foreigners.... to use their bitcoin (or another crypto) to purchase goods and services... without having to pay capital gains taxes. El Salvador is the first such country to recognize this, but it won't be the last. As time goes on, there's going to be more and more crypto millionaires (and centi-millionaires) who will be looking for a place to spend their crypto. And as time goes on, more and more governments (mostly of small countries) will realize that they can attract a lot of that capital by allowing people to come into their country and spend that crypto.
Even more than this there's an enormous market opportunity right now for someone to create the Amazon of crypto. Like you said tons of money wanting to be spent that's hard to spend. How do you unlock that capital?
“Pure abject undeveloped poverty” in Africa??? Africa is a huge continent full of many countries. Have you been everywhere in Africa to back up that statement? Is the entire continent in squalor? You lost a viewer with that comment.
Obviously he wants to dress like he dresses. Yes, this issues gives me shudders as well, as it elevates the question of what does professional mean to our host? However, the best way to look at this issue, in my opinion. Is that competence and integrity are far more important than following etiquette or appearances. When I see a question mark in a business person, what this calls for is to observe over time. My verdict: These wardrobe details don't matter when it seems that offshore citizen has sound knowledge and integrity. As long as that's true, dress however and it's not important.
Thanks for the suggestion, but Michael likes to be casual when making these videos. We like to focus on information and accuracy rather than on image. Our team was trying to get Michael into the ''professional look'' but he doesn't want to comply :D
@@OffshoreCitizen the nice thing about being wealthy and throwing of the restraints of society is that you can wear what you like. You have the freedom to dress comfortably and work your own hours.
Sorry Michael but what you’re talking about is basic economic theory. Something that gets taught in primary school. Not disagreeing but if your viewers economic knowledge is this low you are wasting your time.
Might be basic theory but how many people are aware of it and thinking of it? Go ask most American professionals and what will they tell you? What about most in Scandinavia or UK or France?
