OMG, a single vegan expat retiree in Penang?!? We definitely have to meet!🙂 I'm still trapped in the USA (near Taylor's old stomping ground of Washington, DC), but I'm planning to finally retire in January. If my S-MM2H application is finally approved by then I'll hopefully land in Penang in February.
Glad to hear that all of u plan to retire in Penang or other cities in Msia..welcome/ selamat datang to Msia..as a Msian, we (on behalf of other Msian) welcome all of u with our open arms n hope all of u enjoy ur stay here..i am from the northern state of Msia ie border to Thailand, about 20 mins..regards😍🥰
I have two very good friends from New Zealand, they used to come back every year in the past. One got Parkinson’s and it becomes harder for them to come back now. Especially since pandemic.
With the exception of a few Americans, British, and Australians, I rarely know that there are New Zealanders that choose to live here also. I believe as we become older, we learn to tolerate being alone ourselves more. Thanks to IT, we no longer experience isolation. We can still communicate with the outside world for free, watch whatever we want to watch anytime we like, and do whatever we want alone and without interruption. Living abroad in those times may have seemed very unusual because it was difficult to obtain our native goods, but now still buy durian even if you reside in the UK. Therefore, if you're not too picky and easily adapted, there are already no boundaries in terms of the standard of living around the world. I sincerely hope that you and Jill will enjoy your time here for many more years to come.
Great to know you Jill, i moved to NZ from KL exactly the same year you moved to Penang. I am back to KL for good 8 years later, you are right, things are expensive in NZ.
Hi Taylor, and Happy Sunday (your Monday) 😚 Thank you for introducing us to your friend Jill. It is encouraging to see single women moving abroad and building happy lives for themselves. Have a fabulous week!
@@jilltozer1918 Hey Jill would you make a video? Maybe do a brief tour of where you live and how you found the place? I am interested in moving but I know no one and I am also female, single, and traveling alone. Almost vegan and really like yoga.
@@keangwooichoo6138Yes it depends on what those categories mean though. Financial requirements, fees, length of mandatory stay, benefits, length of visa.
Another great video Taylor! Maybe not specifics, but I would have loved to hear about her apartment, how much she pays for rent and how hard was it to find her place(s) in her 8 years in Penang. Unfortunately, you are in KL but I would love some reviews on some of Penang's condo developments. Maybe some of these developments could hire you to do walk-throughs if they have vacant units that just need a little exposure.
Thanks for the candid interview, Jill, you are an amazing and friendly person just as Taylor is, love watching you both...good friends are here to stay. God bless 🙏
Nice to see an older (not trying to be rude) lady letting her hair go naturally gray/platinum/white. My long-term GF ditched the typical red--dye-in-a-bottle years ago, and continues to get compliments about her platinum hair every week. She and I are both 60+.
It's lovely to hear that you guys enjoys your stay. Moving to another country is an adventure. Ups & downs are a given. They're nice & bad people anywhere in the the world. I'm definitely enjoying your stories & life experiences and will continue to enjoy your videos 😊
Thank you Mr Taylor and Ms Jill for sharing your interesting story..Sometimes I wonder why expatriates choose Malaysia..now I know why..😊Mr Taylor,..I always enjoy listening to your channel as its coversational, authentic and relevant..You ask tactful & ask good questions and Ms Jill you are so humble, cheerful and relaxed....Thank you 🙏and I hope you both can stay in my country for a long time and create happy memories❤
Hello, I am South African retiree and will be visiting Penang in October November for about 1 month. The aim is to decide whether I will fit in and indeed enjoy Penang. Based on this is it will be great to meet with you.
Hi Jill from a Kiwi retired in Thailand. I have visited Penang and loved it. The people and food a great too. I moved from New Zealand to Thailand at the age of 65 Been here a few years now and have no regrets. I shudder when I look at our beautiful NZ and see what has happened. I can understand your feelings about where you are now. I wish you every happiness in your retirement.
Thanks I have no regrets either. NZ is so beautiful and wonderful but the house and food prices are out of control and I feel so sad for the young people trying to get ahead.
@@jilltozer19181918 Yes indeed they all like it there he wife's and 2 children seem settled there even invited me and family for holiday which I will seriously consider. P/S I think i might handle NZ Weather as i studied in Adelaide SA during my young days. Cheers Aunt Jill
I lived in nz for 3 years many years ago….it’s a very beautiful country no doubt….but I missed all d Malaysian food d weather d whole atmosphere here….I can’t imagine myself living much longer there
Thank you so much for your content! I'm staying the month of September in KL to see if I might want to sign up for the 12 month remote worker Visa. I've been binging your videos to get ready for the trip and learn more and it's been very helpful! 🎉
Fabulous interview with your friend! It's very inspiring listening to you. Can't wait to come to KL. 😊 Thank you for many super and interesting talk. ❤
Thanks for the interview Taylor - as a suggestion for next time a tour of the immediate Penang area and possibly of the apartment complex would be an added plus ! 👍
Hello Jill. Welcome to Malaysia. I studied high school & varsity in Christchurch; it’s a lovely city but too quiet (at least back in 1988-91 when I was there) 😊
Thank you. Yes Christchurch is a lovely city. I think there’s a lot more going on there these days. Some amazing things have happened since the earthquakes.
Lovely reaction guys.......hope you enjoy your retirement here in Malaysia....hope your family members able to come to visit you here in Malaysia...mix with the locals
Great video! I wonder if you have made a video of a recent arrival that went through the S-MM2H process. I've been to what I think is the official site. I wonder what the process is from a recent arrival's viewpoint. This is exactly the type of video that resonates with me! Keep up the good work Taylor!
I haven’t made a video with someone who recently got SMM2H but I know someone. However, their application was from last year and as you probably know things change rapidly.
Welcome to Malaysia and enjoying your present stayed. Don't forget to traveling around you will find more suprise during your tour to others in Malaysia.
Lovely to watch a kiwi who has moved to Malaysia. We plan to spend our NZ winters abroad from next year. We plan to travel back to Malaysia one ‘winter’ so this is fab. ( we taught in Borneo at an International School for 2 years, so did lots of visits to other countries while there). Would love to know weekly budget.
Andrew, I just want to say that I've been a fan of your channel since you dropped your very first video. I love your content so much and you're cute hahah. Have a good day ahead Andrew ☺
Mr. Taylor, you always make cute videos, I just love them. I am your follower but I never comments in your videos. One day I like visit Malaysia and like have a coffee with you.
Australiahas becomeunlivable for people on a pension especiallyif you are renting. Unfortunately the very high increase in the MM2H means they no longer qualify. The costs in Australia have gotten much worse and I know many people who are looking at leaving. As Malaysia is close to Australia and has much in common, lets hope the requirements for MM2H will return to something like before.
my bf and I are only 28, but we are planning on retiring to Malaysia when we're older. Your channel is amazing and is packed with info ^_^ Thank you for all your hard work! :) I'm curious to know, if you pay for health insurance and how much it costs? It's hard to find information on it.
Just over but they also have two Jazz festivals, a Country Music (?) Festival snd may be a site for pop and alt music concerts rejected by the extremist Malay groups in the Peninsula. The Tourism Minister said that Sarawakians have. no 😂issue with costumes that show a little skin, just not nudity.😂 And no roblem with the genre of music and people having fun.
Thanks for this great in depth interview! Too bad the requirements are so high to live there, when the cost of living is so low. I will probably be selling my home here in NW Florida soon and I will be one step closer to my travel adventures. I have a contract for almost 2 more years with this job and at that time I want to hit the road (airplane actually). Single female and very interested in these types of interviews. Any way to contact jill?
I am so happy to know yr best friend better. She and her daughters are very beautifully. May i know how old she retired? Glad you and yr friend have such a good bonds of relationship. And she is very independent.Take good care of yr self and stay happy go lucky.
Great info again, but calling Jill an American that was a low blow. Just something that may interest you the tunnel between Suria and the convention centre has a very good digital display go up this week, about sustainability (sponsored by electrical co I think) worth having a look at but is only temporary. Yesterday so many people all posing for photos. Look forward to the next video. Thank you 🙏👍🙂
@@jilltozer1918Sorry, two more questions: 1. How much do you pay for your apartment? Andrew showed us his KL apartment ($420) which I thought it would be a lot more. I have a smaller budget. 2. You mentioned that there are great quality dental care there. Can you recommend a dentist? I will be visiting Penang in January. Thanks so much.
@@jilltozer1918I’ve never been to Vietnam at all. You mentioned that you liked Hoi An. What airport do you fly into and what kind of transport/transfer do you take to get to Hoi An?
The visa I have is called MM2H but they have recently changed the rules and upped the requirements to a ridiculous level. We are waiting hoping they reverse the changes as very few people are coming to retire now.
we have Malaysian running away to new Zealand a kiwi running away to Malaysia maybe we just never appreciate what we have regardless of where we come from
@@inanbohiti7009 Malaysia is good place to live shitty part abt Malaysia is the corruption the trash shitty pay but if u can manage to get money abroad n live Malaysia would be the perfect situation 32k usd per year would be perfect in malysia
Taylor, you need to get up from your comfort zone and travel around this region given the inexpensive Air Asia flights. One thing I can assure you is that you'll feel the warm hospitality immediately upon returning to KL after you visited those countries e.g. Hoi An Vietnam, India, Cambodia, Laos, Bali.
Good morning Taylor and Jill.. NZ is beautiful..nice place to visit..but too cold for me to live there.. Malaysia is a heaven on earth..no matter what.. 🇲🇾🥰✌️
Since you are living in Malaysia i suggest you mixed and make video with local Malaysia Malay, Chinese and Indian so that people can see the multi culture races living peacefully in Malaysia
@@zanzillahsaruji9966 I did a video with a Malay artist and Ray Mak, a Chinese Malaysian and CK, also Chinese Malaysian. Unfortunately, my interviews with expats get more views.
One of the things I really admire about Malaysia (Penang anyway) is how the three main races all get along and celebrate each others culture, it is really inspiring and such a good example of harmony
So crazy how many people have similarities in their life. I'm Canadian and currently live here, but I also lived in Christchurch NZ and have backpacked SE Asia. Honestly NZ has got to be one of the most beautiful places on earth but unfortunately it's so expensive. I'm aiming for a SE Asia retirement at 50 that's the goal. In order for me to retire in Canada or NZ I'd have to work till 65+ EASY and my quality of retirement would be no better. Who wants to work all those extra years?!
Great interview. I need figures. Does Jill draw on a New Zealand or Canadian pension? Where does her income from? What are the costs? Rent , monthly costs etc? Can we please have an update! Thank you. Love from New Zealand 🇳🇿
I believe Jill lives on investments. She doesn’t draw a New Zealand pension. Look at my cost of living video for costs here. th-cam.com/video/ZTdFecLt_H4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YV9KBQLNZSbxOBaa
I don’t draw a pension from NZ or Canada. I have to be living in Nz for 6 months before I can apply, so I am just living on interest on investments. It’s a small amount but I can live on it here and am better off doing that than living in NZ even on the full pension. My rent is about $700NZ per month (3 bedroom), electricity between $15 and $70 (if my 2 spare rooms have visitors), internet is about $50 per month, phone data about $10NZ per month and food is cheap.
Yes i agree NZ is so expensive. That is why crime is high. Lots of ram raid in auckland. So many homeless people, some live in their vehicles. Auckland houses are so expensive but the quality is not good. Moldy, cold..😢 i wonder how young kiwis can afford to buy a house. But NZ hv beautiful nature and kiwis are nice n friendly.
Young Kiwis CANNOT afford to buy a house, definitely not in Auckland. Unless they have parents who can help. For a start, they need to save up 20% of the house price, which is over 200k since the average house in Auckland is over 1 million. Then they have to earn enough to qualify for that sort of mortgage, which is hard, especially at the current rates of above 6.5%. It is quite a sad state of affairs and some are moving to Australia which is also inflated, except maybe Perth and Adelaide - and at least Australia has relatively better wages than NZ.
Taylor as many turn to your channel about retirement here, why not do 1 on the latest MM2H proposals? I am sure it will bring more viewers to your channel.
Your a great ambassador for Malaysia, Andrew!
yeah but his friends all look like him
Wrong and mean. I have lots of Malaysian friends. I did an interview with a Malay artist and no one watched it.
We both have lots of wonderful local friends
Ignore The idiot Taylor. You are Malaysian as far as we concern. Expat or not. Decent people unite.

Since you are living in Malaysia i suggest you mixed and make video with local Malaysia Malay, Chinese and Indian so that people can see the multi culture races living peacefully in Malaysia
@@zanzillahsaruji9966 I did a video with a Malay artist and Ray Mak, a Chinese Malaysian and CK, also Chinese Malaysian. Unfortunately, my interviews with expats get more views.
One of the things I really admire about Malaysia (Penang anyway) is how the three main races all get along and celebrate each others culture, it is really inspiring and such a good example of harmony
So crazy how many people have similarities in their life. I'm Canadian and currently live here, but I also lived in Christchurch NZ and have backpacked SE Asia.
Honestly NZ has got to be one of the most beautiful places on earth but unfortunately it's so expensive.
I'm aiming for a SE Asia retirement at 50 that's the goal. In order for me to retire in Canada or NZ I'd have to work till 65+ EASY and my quality of retirement would be no better. Who wants to work all those extra years?!
So true!
Kiwi is also very beautiful. Except for earthquakes.
Yep
and very expensive

Great interview. I need figures. Does Jill draw on a New Zealand or Canadian pension? Where does her income from?
What are the costs? Rent , monthly costs etc? Can we please have an update! Thank you. Love from New Zealand 🇳🇿
I believe Jill lives on investments. She doesn’t draw a New Zealand pension. Look at my cost of living video for costs here.

I don’t draw a pension from NZ or Canada. I have to be living in Nz for 6 months before I can apply, so I am just living on interest on investments. It’s a small amount but I can live on it here and am better off doing that than living in NZ even on the full pension. My rent is about $700NZ per month (3 bedroom), electricity between $15 and $70 (if my 2 spare rooms have visitors), internet is about $50 per month, phone data about $10NZ per month and food is cheap.
@@jilltozer1918 thank you so much for the reply.! I’m inspired to do something similar .
@@andrewtaylor4558 thank you
I left christchurch NZ the day before the earthquake struck in 2010.
😳
That was good timing. It was a strange time
Yes i agree NZ is so expensive. That is why crime is high. Lots of ram raid in auckland. So many homeless people, some live in their vehicles.
Auckland houses are so expensive but the quality is not good. Moldy, cold..😢 i wonder how young kiwis can afford to buy a house. But
NZ hv beautiful nature and kiwis are nice n friendly.
It used to be more affordable to live in NZ and it’s so hard for the young people these days.
Young Kiwis CANNOT afford to buy a house, definitely not in Auckland. Unless they have parents who can help. For a start, they need to save up 20% of the house price, which is over 200k since the average house in Auckland is over 1 million. Then they have to earn enough to qualify for that sort of mortgage, which is hard, especially at the current rates of above 6.5%. It is quite a sad state of affairs and some are moving to Australia which is also inflated, except maybe Perth and Adelaide - and at least Australia has relatively better wages than NZ.
