I left the UK and my reasons for leaving was that the UK is in decline. This is not just about finances and infrastructure, but safety, history and culture and God forbid healthcare. Life in the UK is just a never ending trudge and I'm someone who is 60 years old and still has a lot of life to live.
you can't just get up and leave, you need an established online business or plenty of money already behind you. be very careful, do lots of research first.
In a similar state of mind, Trevor. I am in my sixties and the thought of being old in England is downright terrifying now! I was trying to leave when Brexit hit and made everything exponentially harder. For the moment I am stuck but I will need to sort myself out so that the finances stack up. I went for early retirement as the hamster wheel was killing me and that has been good for my health, no doubt, but it does mean that the stack of coins is going down rather than up so I need to move sooner rather than later before it becomes impossible.
I’ll reserve judgement on whether or not your life is better having left the UK. Until you put down some roots somewhere you’re not really living, you’re just in a holiday mode.
Where is the money coming from. He said he was underpaid and broke and TH-cam is not cutting it right now. Hearing about his world travels makes me wonder if he’s telling the whole story.
@janetsmiley6778 I was thinking the same...all well and good telling people to leave and blah blah but let's hear how it's financed as he is struggling soooooo badly in the UK
im 52 - good job - but even i know we are doomed - you cant have ppl living in free hotels why the rest of us SLAVE to earn a wage .. its beyond a joke - well done kid
It’s beyond a joke isn’t it. Yet we have a huge chunk of our society that bury there head in the sand and put up with this. I’m embarrassed of their ignorance/cowardice that’s allowed us to fall so far. Great Britain? No, just a nation of frightened rabbits
That's one of the reasons I left literally 2 weeks ago. This government cancelled 90% of infrastructure projects in the N-W and I lost the job as a result. Yet, they are perfectly fine with spending billions a year on free hotels and social houses for those, that have never worked here a single day. On top of that my landlord raised my rent from £1000 to £1200. Enough is enough, this country doesn't exist for me anymore.

Spot on, Daryl. I was 32 when I left the UK in 2010, having realised I didn't have a hope in hell of owning a home or finding a fulfilling career that supported a decent quality of life. I saved a few grand and went off travelling. It was the best decision I ever made. I ended up in Southeast Asia for nearly a decade and loved it. The climate, the buzz, the people, the quality of life - all amazing! It's funny how places resonate differently for each of us. I was based near KL for 3 years and it didn't do much for me. I much preferred Bangkok, Hanoi and Saigon as far as big cities go. Many other lovely places too. But I'm really glad you're finding your groove in KL! For various reasons I had to head back West but I was determined to avoid the UK. I'm now in rural Ireland where I'm taking my first tentative steps towards a self-sufficient lifstyle, on my own acre of land & 4-bed house which was cheap enough to buy outright. It has enabled me to finally espcape the rat-race! I do miss Southeast Asia, though, and might return at some point in the future. I look forward to seeing where your journey takes you!

The more and harder I work, the more I would be hit with taxation. I'm ashamed to say that I still live at home. It makes me feel I adequate as a man.

Good luck on your journey. Don't be too harsh on yourself, the UK is a very financially hostile country to people who work and pay tax. It's very difficult to escape the class you're born into. Good luck in NZ.
Financially it's not great here either but opportunity is there. There's many free and cheap ways to enjoy the wealth of countryside. The nature is insane, so much to explore.
Well done Daryl. One question. The elephant in the room is, what are you going to do employment wise in these countries to survive? Would be great to hear your plan there as that is the stumbling block I would imagine for most people for making such a move. Cheers
Business model will likely be: doing some online bs job (whatever brings in money), grow a youtube channel about his escape, posting lots of videos of his travels in Malaysia and Southeast Asia on insta and on youtube and talking about his esacpe and how awful the UK is.

A note to anyone thinking of leaving the UK , you must do it soon, once the iron curtain falls you will not be able to afford to leave or be allowed to. Notice no russians were ever abroad under communism. That's where we are going but ten times worse
Exactly. And it’s not only under communism: the current Russia is the same. However shite you may think the UK is, remember that there’s always room for worse.
Great job for getting out man. I applaud you sir. I made the move from Edinburgh to Morocco 2 months ago and haven’t looked back. The UK is in the sewer now, people are miserable and they know it. I’m rooting for you my brother
I left in November 1996 - the writing was on the wall even then in terms of rising liberalism and disastrous long-term trends. Been in the Far East ever since and never regretted it.
Daryl, it's great to see you smiling and looking relaxed and happy. As you say, "You have to love yourself". Nobody will sort out your future for you. May your dreams come to fruition. [Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺]
while I very much agree with him that the UK is an absolute shithole and nobody in their right might would live there, I think some dour Scot railing against life in the UK every video will get old pretty quickly 🤐hope he has a backup
And then you realise no matter where you are, the same soul destroying chores apply. Find/buy/build shelter, keep warm, stay fed, watered, healthy, fulfill happiness, trade time for money, hard work, hard work, hard work
The same prison. Until the people realize that they are the bricks building the prison, they will enjoy slavery sweetened with cheap prices and less taxes. Until taxes and prices are back to unbearable levels and people once again fail to pay tax for living and breathing. Maybe then...
Your videos have really helped, once I have my undergrad degree I'm planning to get out of the UK and make the move to Asia. Already in the process of looking at a masters in Japan, speaking to professors, looking at what I need to do and everything so far is on track. Keep doing what you're doing!
Okay, real advice. If you are from the UK, it will be expensive being an international masters student in Japan. I know, I did it. Very hard to get scholarships being from UK even with perfect grades (I know, I had them). Also, salaries are terrible here. I literally just received a job offer from a famous university in Tokyo as a full-time lecturer. experience + MA = 4,200,000 (JPY) (inc. bonuses) = £22,000 (GBP)... experience + PhD = 5,000,000 (JPY) = £25,000 The grass isn't always greener. However, I would say coming here to study will be an amazing life experience. Just be careful when you consider what you want to do next
The rent should be nearly 350GBP depending upon the location and the size of the apartment. Add food and utilities 200GBP per month. So £20k savings is enough to last upto 3 years.
It's very upsetting that people are at the stage now where they feel that the only option available to them is to leave the country they called home: where they were raised by a loving family, who also knocked their pan in to give the best to us that they could. Best of luck to all of you who manage to get out and find new meaning and happiness in your life, and also the best of luck to you all who are staying behind. I'm so sad that Scotland is just getting worse for all of you, and that it is becoming unliveable. Never in my wildest dreams had I ever imagined that this would happen to the most beautiful country in the world. It is literally giving me depression and creating a black hole of grief: how the hell do we come back from what has happened to us? I left Scotland for Japan almost 14 years ago now, not because I hated living in my country, but just because... I just wanted to live in Japan. I had honestly thought that I would one day move back there with my family, but now that is looking more and more unlikely as time goes on. It is really hard to put into words how awful all of this is.
What country will you be living in once you have ended your holiday? Why didn't you want to talk about it in this video? Tell us listeners how you plan to live sustainably as a former bank teller.
You can half your cost in Kota Kemuning , Subang Jaya , Seremban (on the to Port Dickson) , Melaka and home cater "tumpang makan" and the market comes to you in the pasar malam and wet market grocer is the van making a din along your road.

I'm part Malaysian and yes there is a bad side, and costs are rising as the country develops. But for an adventurous younger person who can work 'from home' it's a fantastic opportunity to do the same as in UK while growing as a person. It catches the eye of future employers when they return to Britain too
Dear Daryl, I’m writing you as a person being under typical state financial pressure as others at this planet under current stage of its social development. I would say this kind of degradation has origine in early 90th and particularly after collapse of Soviet Union. I associate this not cause I’m Russian and I’m proud of it. But in 20th century Soviet Unit was first successful social state at this planet. Social achievements of USSR like free education, free medicine, 41 hours working week, women rights and etc persuade «business owners» at the West to do the same. This in fact was not an act of humanism that was stabilization of social structure (forming middle class) to avoid human unrest. USSR as a center of social movements was some kind of virtual basement for labour unions in UK, US and western countries in general. After collapse of USSR in 1991 this labour union’s base disappeared as a world center of fighting for worker’s rights. Today there is no serious social state in this world, this world degraded both in social and diversity aspects. And since second half of 90th “workers” starts to lose their positions in strife with “business owners” cause if it is possible to decrease expenditures on social matter this would result in grows of profit. In its turn profit is vital for any business, cause sooner or later corporation with higher profits will consume smaller business. This force all the business to run faster to “outrun own shadow”. Basically, I wanna say that you hardly find any place in the world where local system doesn’t treat you as a harnessed horse. It could take you unaware about the real deal for some time during harnessing. You know the Newton laws are in force everywhere as well as Economical and Social laws are unstoppable. I like what one guy which is in fact younger us said that main success for the last couple of thousand years sounds like “health, family and friends” and “take care of the one you love and who loves you”. P.S. Just in case sorry for my English, I hope MSWord did its job.
You are lier since millions died from hunger and repressions in USSR, and people were not allowed to leave this "heaven". The irony is that ussr was driven by left politicians, and now same left politicians make western countries worse. And nothing is free in this world, soviet people were underpayed significantly, for example - to buy shoes you would have to save 2 monthes salaries, TV ~ 6 months salaries
Man, you made my day. Advertising a slave state with a resource-based economy as a worker’s paradise, that’s something straight out of a commie propaganda booklet. I’m just curious: Do you know that all the social benefits you credit SU for existed in several European countries already in 1930’s? That SU only adopted them after WWII? That the other Socialist Paradise, China, does not have free healthcare and pensions in 2024? Or that SU was the first country in the world to emancipate women and legalize homosexuality? The rampant leftism that’s now reigning in the West was first tried in Russia in 1920's…
You also seem much happier as well! Only issue is that the camera you're using does not render colour that well, maybe try using your phone or something else
Wishing you so much success on your journey, you now have a life worth living for. Warmest congratulations on your achievement of getting a new life for yourself…. So very brave 💪
I love England. But I hate what it has become. There's still some people here to believe it can change. It's about moving away from cities and involving yourself in smaller communities. That's how you make it work. That's how I make it work, at least. Anyway, good for you buddy. Hope to see more of your content soon. Let's see some of that famous streetfood for 50p
I heard it is amazing there. It is definitely on my short list. It's awesome to see your happiness increase. You can see the change on your face in your more recent videos. I'm proud of you. Please keep us posted.
Im looking at doing the same, but im curious what exactly IS your plan? How will you support yourself financially for the duration? For me this is the key factor, when i leave i dont to come back so i want to be clear i have a credible plan
just dont let your UK bank know that you've moved. if they find out you're not living in the UK anymore they'll close your account and switch off tour debit card.
@ well, they wont automatically cut it off, but if a year or so has passed and you let on that you live abroad to any customer service theyll just close your account
@@littleones-yeahh Our bank sends our letters and statements to our Portuguese address and has done for three years. We are residents here - some may have issues?
A video on how you managed to unplug financially/get a remote income, that would be very interesting. I spend about half the year abroad but I still haven't fully unplugged yet.
I'm at a similar juncture - 38 and chewing both arms off to get out of this mess we call/called home (UK). Saving up to go do a year's Japanese language school in Tokyo next year, then hopefully live there for as long as they'll allow me to. Looking to career change in the process too - hoping the software dev game will be more accessible over there 🤞 Anyways, thanks for the vids and best of luck going forward mate. ¡Pura vida!
Congrats! Would be really interested in a video about your finances. Do you live off of investments? Remote work? Anyway, looking forward to your future adventures!
Huge fan of the videos Daryl, been a subscriber since your UK Dystopia part 1 video. I'm very curious to know your long term plan. Digital Nomad or full time TH-camr I'm assuming? Anyways, wishing you the best of luck and agree with all the points about the UK.
The smile on your face says it all, of course it's the right step...I know you've already lived in that SE Asia before so I'm sure you know how you're going to survive. I left the UK for good July, now in Thailand.
So how you going to make a living ? Where you gonna get health care? Are you going to get pension? When you getting on the property ladder ? Basic questions I’d like to know
I went to Malaysia a few years ago, it was incredible. Langkawi (super chilled), Penang (bigger and more to see but still chill), KL (if Bangkok and Singapore had a child) 🎉🎉
Good video. Same situation here in the US, the decline is all around us. Most of us can't afford basic apartments anymore, unless we spend all our time working multiple jobs. Homeless and drug zombies everywhere, it's pretty bleak. High costs for everything but zero quality of life. I'll be teaching at a winter English camp in Singapore in late December, then a few months of traveling and living in SE Asia. Can't wait! It's the goal to stay there for the long haul as well. Will only return to the US to work short term summer seasonal jobs in national parks, then head overseas again
The budget was announced this week, I can't believe you aren't getting on a flight back to the UK to subsidise the majority of people take more than they contribute to the system.
Hey Daryl, David from the UK. Are you planning to visit Bangkok at some stage? If you are, maybe we can meet for a tea/coffee and chat your experiences and your plans.
Hallelujah!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻was owning a loan of $493,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery, Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $18,000 and got my payout of m $230,800 every months,God bless Ms Evelyn Vera🇺🇸..
Only God knows how much grateful i am. After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place!!
Same here waking up every 14th of each month to 210,000 dollars it’s a blessing to I and my family… I can now retire knowing that I have a steady income❤️Big gratitude to Ms Evelyn Vera
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.
I can't blame you for leaving the UK. I've seen your other videos you did previously and 100% agree with your sentiments. When my online business is up and running I'm planning to leave the UK too. I'm thinking of moving to Thailand but am considering other options as well.
Please make a video with your cost of living: rent, house prices, car prices, car tax/ insurers, etc. What do you do there? I left Romania for the UK. Financially, I am much better off in the UK, but overall, life in the UK is not great.
How do people move abroad like this? Whenever I've looked into visas and all that you need to have a job offer so how would you get that in a place such as Malaysia?

Great job for getting out man. I applaud you sir. I made the move from Edinburgh to Morocco 2 months ago and haven’t looked back. The UK is in the sewer now, people are miserable and they know it. I’m rooting for you my brother
You left Europe for Africa 😂
@@NamwakaHadassahTambatamba yes man, and no regrets at all. People are happier in Africa, and they have less.
I was born and bred in England but I gave up on the UK and permanently left in 2007, glad I did. I haven't been back since.
Good luck mate 👍🏼
I left in November 1996 - the writing was on the wall even then in terms of rising liberalism and disastrous long-term trends. Been in the Far East ever since and never regretted it.
What made you leave? I was 14 in 2007 and lived in Cornwall. Everything seemed great back then.
@@thadtuiol1717The UK is for losers. Everyone with a brain and a future will leave.
@NotGodel
I moved to South Florida so it was kind of a no brainer to be honest.
perfect timing!
Daryl, it's great to see you smiling and looking relaxed and happy. As you say, "You have to love yourself". Nobody will sort out your future for you. May your dreams come to fruition. [Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺]
But what profession do you have to maintain yourself financially
while I very much agree with him that the UK is an absolute shithole and nobody in their right might would live there, I think some dour Scot railing against life in the UK every video will get old pretty quickly 🤐hope he has a backup

And then you realise no matter where you are, the same soul destroying chores apply. Find/buy/build shelter, keep warm, stay fed, watered, healthy, fulfill happiness, trade time for money, hard work, hard work, hard work
But in those other places you maybe don't get taxed as hard and prices are not so high.
Hard work is not that bad if you actually get to keep most of the rewards
The problem in the uk is that hard work BARELY covers the basics
The same prison. Until the people realize that they are the bricks building the prison, they will enjoy slavery sweetened with cheap prices and less taxes. Until taxes and prices are back to unbearable levels and people once again fail to pay tax for living and breathing. Maybe then...
These free market protofascists think the grass is greener on the other side.
I left the U.K. in 2021 and titled my adventure - Project Escape.
I have no regrets.

Your videos have really helped, once I have my undergrad degree I'm planning to get out of the UK and make the move to Asia. Already in the process of looking at a masters in Japan, speaking to professors, looking at what I need to do and everything so far is on track. Keep doing what you're doing!
Okay, real advice. If you are from the UK, it will be expensive being an international masters student in Japan. I know, I did it. Very hard to get scholarships being from UK even with perfect grades (I know, I had them). Also, salaries are terrible here.
I literally just received a job offer from a famous university in Tokyo as a full-time lecturer.
experience + MA = 4,200,000 (JPY) (inc. bonuses) = £22,000 (GBP)...
experience + PhD = 5,000,000 (JPY) = £25,000
The grass isn't always greener.
However, I would say coming here to study will be an amazing life experience. Just be careful when you consider what you want to do next
Well done, man. I also just booked my flight back to Hong Kong last evening.
Hong Kong with the lowest taxation! Enjoy!
The rent should be nearly 350GBP depending upon the location and the size of the apartment. Add food and utilities 200GBP per month. So £20k savings is enough to last upto 3 years.
How though? Surely 3 months is the maximum stay visa etc?

Proud of you for making the leap into the abyss, I'll be following your channel. Respect
I've been living in KL since 2012. Lived in Scotland for years before this move. No regrets about leaving. Best of luck with everything!
It's very upsetting that people are at the stage now where they feel that the only option available to them is to leave the country they called home: where they were raised by a loving family, who also knocked their pan in to give the best to us that they could. Best of luck to all of you who manage to get out and find new meaning and happiness in your life, and also the best of luck to you all who are staying behind.
I'm so sad that Scotland is just getting worse for all of you, and that it is becoming unliveable. Never in my wildest dreams had I ever imagined that this would happen to the most beautiful country in the world. It is literally giving me depression and creating a black hole of grief: how the hell do we come back from what has happened to us?
I left Scotland for Japan almost 14 years ago now, not because I hated living in my country, but just because... I just wanted to live in Japan. I had honestly thought that I would one day move back there with my family, but now that is looking more and more unlikely as time goes on. It is really hard to put into words how awful all of this is.
Would you mind saying what you do for work and how easy/difficult it was to get a job?!
Well done Sir! I left 54 years ago. Living now for 41 years in Namibia. Would never consider returning to the UK.
HOW did you do this? In terms of visa, work permit etc? What are you doing for money?
So, you're travelling then?
The divided kingdom of broken Britain 😅😂🤣well said bro
What country will you be living in once you have ended your holiday? Why didn't you want to talk about it in this video? Tell us listeners how you plan to live sustainably as a former bank teller.
Yes I think UK is broken. Too many arguments and conflicts. Maybe I should move back to HK, life's tough there too but weathers much warmer❤
this is seriously motivating - thanks for posting.
You can half your cost in Kota Kemuning , Subang Jaya , Seremban (on the to Port Dickson) , Melaka and home cater "tumpang makan" and the market comes to you in the pasar malam and wet market grocer is the van making a din along your road. May not be for you , but an elderly guy or another who wants to go local. Welcome to Malaysia.
Good for you mate. You should be proud of yourself. Interested to know how you are earning money there and exactly how long you are staying
we need him to do a video breaking everything down financially and we need to hear the bad side. walking around in a pool is showing us a fraction of the true reality of his situation, i am really happy for him though, he did walk the walk like he said he would, respect.
I'm part Malaysian and yes there is a bad side, and costs are rising as the country develops. But for an adventurous younger person who can work 'from home' it's a fantastic opportunity to do the same as in UK while growing as a person. It catches the eye of future employers when they return to Britain too
Well done you! I totally agree - you will meet so many like-minded motivated people. For me it’s next year - plans in process.
Dear Daryl, I’m writing you as a person being under typical state financial pressure as others at this planet under current stage of its social development.
I would say this kind of degradation has origine in early 90th and particularly after collapse of Soviet Union. I associate this not cause I’m Russian and I’m proud of it. But in 20th century Soviet Unit was first successful social state at this planet. Social achievements of USSR like free education, free medicine, 41 hours working week, women rights and etc persuade «business owners» at the West to do the same. This in fact was not an act of humanism that was stabilization of social structure (forming middle class) to avoid human unrest.
USSR as a center of social movements was some kind of virtual basement for labour unions in UK, US and western countries in general. After collapse of USSR in 1991 this labour union’s base disappeared as a world center of fighting for worker’s rights. Today there is no serious social state in this world, this world degraded both in social and diversity aspects. And since second half of 90th “workers” starts to lose their positions in strife with “business owners” cause if it is possible to decrease expenditures on social matter this would result in grows of profit.
In its turn profit is vital for any business, cause sooner or later corporation with higher profits will consume smaller business. This force all the business to run faster to “outrun own shadow”.
Basically, I wanna say that you hardly find any place in the world where local system doesn’t treat you as a harnessed horse. It could take you unaware about the real deal for some time during harnessing. You know the Newton laws are in force everywhere as well as Economical and Social laws are unstoppable.
I like what one guy which is in fact younger us said that main success for the last couple of thousand years sounds like “health, family and friends” and “take care of the one you love and who loves you”.
P.S. Just in case sorry for my English, I hope MSWord did its job.
a bit long, but makes you think. I'll probably come back with an answer...
You are lier since millions died from hunger and repressions in USSR, and people were not allowed to leave this "heaven".
The irony is that ussr was driven by left politicians, and now same left politicians make western countries worse.
And nothing is free in this world, soviet people were underpayed significantly, for example - to buy shoes you would have to save 2 monthes salaries, TV ~ 6 months salaries
Man, you made my day. Advertising a slave state with a resource-based economy as a worker’s paradise, that’s something straight out of a commie propaganda booklet. I’m just curious: Do you know that all the social benefits you credit SU for existed in several European countries already in 1930’s? That SU only adopted them after WWII? That the other Socialist Paradise, China, does not have free healthcare and pensions in 2024? Or that SU was the first country in the world to emancipate women and legalize homosexuality? The rampant leftism that’s now reigning in the West was first tried in Russia in 1920's…
Just look at those apartments, a pool, gardens, a gym, reception and security. . Then look at UK apartments.. You just get apartments.. that's it.
Irony is that you dont even get an apartment despite paying a big chunk out of your income. Its a box size space with thin walls and zero comfort
EXCELLENT!! Keep us posted. So happy for you.
Thank you for vid 🙏🇬🇧
You also seem much happier as well! Only issue is that the camera you're using does not render colour that well, maybe try using your phone or something else
Wishing you so much success on your journey, you now have a life worth living for. Warmest congratulations on your achievement of getting a new life for yourself…. So very brave 💪
I love England. But I hate what it has become. There's still some people here to believe it can change. It's about moving away from cities and involving yourself in smaller communities. That's how you make it work. That's how I make it work, at least.
Anyway, good for you buddy. Hope to see more of your content soon. Let's see some of that famous streetfood for 50p
I heard it is amazing there. It is definitely on my short list.
It's awesome to see your happiness increase. You can see the change on your face in your more recent videos. I'm proud of you. Please keep us posted.
Good job, I'm Australian/UK Citizen. I tried visiting the UK for the first time to see if I would enjoy it and not a chance.
The UK is soul draining.
So proud of you bud. Thank you for sharing your progress and inspiring others.

Good for you! Time to start living. There's opportunity everywhere.
Im looking at doing the same, but im curious what exactly IS your plan? How will you support yourself financially for the duration?
For me this is the key factor, when i leave i dont to come back so i want to be clear i have a credible plan
just dont let your UK bank know that you've moved. if they find out you're not living in the UK anymore they'll close your account and switch off tour debit card.
Incorrect, they know where we are. No issues.
@ well, they wont automatically cut it off, but if a year or so has passed and you let on that you live abroad to any customer service theyll just close your account
@@littleones-yeahh Our bank sends our letters and statements to our Portuguese address and has done for three years. We are residents here - some may have issues?
Fascinating process you are documenting, thank you for sharing
This is amazing Daryl. Can't wait to make my move with my family. Still planning logistics at the moment. All the best my brother...🏆
Congratulations Daryl. You did it!
A video on how you managed to unplug financially/get a remote income, that would be very interesting. I spend about half the year abroad but I still haven't fully unplugged yet.
I'm at a similar juncture - 38 and chewing both arms off to get out of this mess we call/called home (UK). Saving up to go do a year's Japanese language school in Tokyo next year, then hopefully live there for as long as they'll allow me to. Looking to career change in the process too - hoping the software dev game will be more accessible over there 🤞 Anyways, thanks for the vids and best of luck going forward mate. ¡Pura vida!
I must admit, this looks absolutely stunning. Makes me excited for where I want to go
But the rest of your message.. yes.. i did this in the 1990's felt the same way then.. much worse now.. live your life, travel.
I agree.
The 1990s was a good time to travel.
I just saw your video on Legion of Men. Well done mate
Congrats! Would be really interested in a video about your finances. Do you live off of investments? Remote work? Anyway, looking forward to your future adventures!

Huge fan of the videos Daryl, been a subscriber since your UK Dystopia part 1 video. I'm very curious to know your long term plan. Digital Nomad or full time TH-camr I'm assuming? Anyways, wishing you the best of luck and agree with all the points about the UK.
Awesome, well done, I've done the same. Getting out is the hard part, and you've done it, it's up from there.
Go for it. Don’t look back.
The smile on your face says it all, of course it's the right step...I know you've already lived in that SE Asia before so I'm sure you know how you're going to survive. I left the UK for good July, now in Thailand.

Wow wow! Thanks for sharing your an inspiration to others! All the best to you 😊
So how you going to make a living ? Where you gonna get health care? Are you going to get pension? When you getting on the property ladder ? Basic questions I’d like to know
bro you need 500k subs and vlog your journey, that would be amazing to watch unfold.
I went to Malaysia a few years ago, it was incredible. Langkawi (super chilled), Penang (bigger and more to see but still chill), KL (if Bangkok and Singapore had a child) 🎉🎉
Good video. Same situation here in the US, the decline is all around us. Most of us can't afford basic apartments anymore, unless we spend all our time working multiple jobs. Homeless and drug zombies everywhere, it's pretty bleak. High costs for everything but zero quality of life. I'll be teaching at a winter English camp in Singapore in late December, then a few months of traveling and living in SE Asia. Can't wait! It's the goal to stay there for the long haul as well. Will only return to the US to work short term summer seasonal jobs in national parks, then head overseas again
Living in UK is quite peaceful to me better than when `i lived in the States before.
Legend! Good to see you made it. Onwards :)
Proud of you mate, must have been scary. What 3 things about the city you like so much?
God bless your new journey!! 🙏👍🏻
The budget was announced this week, I can't believe you aren't getting on a flight back to the UK to subsidise the majority of people take more than they contribute to the system.
Could you make a roughly estimate how much it costs to live over there on good/decent living standards
Hey Daryl, David from the UK. Are you planning to visit Bangkok at some stage? If you are, maybe we can meet for a tea/coffee and chat your experiences and your plans.
it's wonderful your journey has begun. have fun and live, I'll follow up, it's very interesting and intrepid what you're doing. my best wishes.
