@Elpida Agapi Thanks for the kind words in both your comments, we appreciate that! Re Thai Visas, sadly they are very strict there. 4 options: 1) Apply for a single entry visa before you arrive to get 60 days, extend once at immigration and you have 90 days. Leave for a while, repeat. 2) Arrive on the free visa exempt and extend once at immigration and you have 60 days. Leave for a while, repeat. 3) Check the link below for the multiple entry options, these are harder though. 4) Do a Google search for "self defence visa thailand" this one is 12 months, but there are a few hoops to jump through. Totally worth it if you plan to stay long term though. Jonny FD does a good job of explaining a lot of CM related stuff on his post: www.johnnyfd.com/2015/07/johnnys-guide-to-chiang-mai-thailand.html Hopefully thats all helpful.
No worries! Vietnam is probably the easiest because you can apply for 6 months in advance and it’s multiple entry. In terms of extensions, Philippines was incredibly easy and you can just keep doing them back to back without needing to leave so that’s helpful!
Hey you never go on talking too much - you pitch things just right and your style of delivery is relaxed, natural and engaging so nothing to apologise about :) Comparison of costs video would be a great idea as it will help fellow travellers with their plans!
Living in Sweden and not have to pay crazy amounts for insurance sure made World Nomads look extremely expensive! It was our most dreaded cost before we head to SE Asia. So I am really thankful for the link for Safety Wing - another one of your awesome tips :) Thanks guys!
When we went to Bali, Canggu we stayed in a house called 'The White house'. Its about a 15min drive outside of main Canggu. But it was so beautiful as they had just finished building it, and we got it for $20 NZD per night. So if you guys end up back in Bali again maybe that could be a cheaper option for you guys. *It is a bit further out from the touristy area but its nice because it was super local and quiet. We found it on AirBnB. Thanks for another informative vlog!
Love this videos! Maybe not as entertaining as travel vlogs but Super informative. They make huge difference in planning trip or choosing trip destination based on our budget. Great! Keep making them :D
Yes that comparison video would be great! Will be using that insurance for sure! I'm glad to hear you've been liking it because I hadn't heard it mentioned by anyone before but wanted to use it! Great vid as usual!
Cool - been a few comments about it, guess I need to make the time to go over it haha. Have some friends on Safety Wing for a while now and they're very happy as well!
Daneger and Stacey also I have to say this - you guys are the most engaged youtubers I have come across and I watch a lot of TH-cam lol you have responded to 99% of the comments I've left on both here and Instagram and i just want to say it is noticed!! Thanks for all your hard work! As soon as I have enough money to support you guys through patreon or course or book purchases I am going to. for now at least through affiliate links I can! I am so impressed and appreciative of your comment responding!! You guys rock!
So stoked to hear that, mostly just that you notice the hard work. The majority of people just assume content creation is simple, but it’s actually all consuming haha. We’re happy you’re happy, thanks!! 😃
Another great breakdown of costs and thank you ! It gives us, my wife and I, a bit of a benchmark for expenses while we plan our own nomadic life in mid to late 2019. We love to travel, and our biggest dream has been to have a life filled up with experiences from around the world. Two weeks ago my wife said "Let's do this. I want to travel, see the world, like we have dreamed. Our time is now." We caught on to your videos by chance, made notes, dreamed, talked, bought and read your book and now we are making plans ! My wife is from the Philippines, so our obvious first stop will be there for a while to visit the fam again, explore the islands and new areas. From then on, the world is our oyster. Thanks for the videos, thanks for the insight, thanks for the dreams, thanks for the knowledge but most of all, thanks for keeping it real ! See you both in our travels ! Dave and Laarni
Hey Dave and Laarni - thanks for this message, wow! Honestly it's comments like this that keep us going, the fact we're helping people change their lives, or alter the way they travel, means so much to us. Hope you guys set off on the most amazing adventure and enjoy every last minute of it together!
This is amazing! We were looking into TID for our month in Bali in a few months and it was nearly $300 for travel insurance! Ridiculous. We will be using Safety Wing for sure - as always, crazy helpful information, guys! Legends
Such an informative, raw and realistic video, thanks a lot for your time putting this all together! Moving to Bali in January and considering Canggu as my second stop to settle after Ubud. Also, defo gonna check the insurance! Really appreciate your content!
We lived 2 months in Ubud. It was amazing, and so much more cheaper than what I heard now in their video from Canggu. We spent for a month for groceries, accommodation, eating out, scooter etc. same as what they paid only for their house rental. We spent around 800-900euros a month in Ubud! ✌ And beach is not far, when we felt like going to the beach we just drove and hour to have a beach day.
Great one Dane , very informative and great break down of costs . You and Stace seem to give that little bit more info on costing and savings than your fellow travellers -away away - flying the nest and the others . Passing on your vid to family who love Bali again cheers from oz happy travels. PS the insurance info is super handy as my sister has a time share in Bali .
I'll mirror some of the other comments already made mate. Thanks for doing these videos. It is always greatly appreciated to get a real breakdown of the costs associated with the day to day living expenses in the various places. Keep up the great work mate! 😉
Hello from freezing London! Love watching your vlogs! You are such a cute couple! Actually after I watched your vlogs about Split, I went to Split for a month and just came back a week ago. Loved it, your tips were so helpful! And soon, Mid January, I'm flying to Bali for two months. So I'm kinda following you lol! You both are so inspiring, positive and honest! keep it up and cant wait to see where you'll head off next!
Great video, I always love seeing these behind the scenes videos and breakdowns of day to day life. Do you think you guys will ever travel to the U.S. for some time? It would be interesting to see how you guys do a traveling cost of living here, especially in a larger city like New York or Seattle or something.
That is understandable, its very expensive here! If you ever do make it to the States I definitely recommend Seattle or Portland. Lots of beer and coffee as well a cool vibe you guys would like.
Thanks for the VPN and travel insurance links! We're getting ready to hit the road for retirement. We haven't decided on the travel insurance as of yet and it's always nice to have options.
I was on the road for bout 4 years and towards the end when I would meet people and we would go out to eat I would tell them I wouldnt go to "expensive" places to eat bc you could find a much cheaper place which was as good or better than the "fancy" places...they would commonly reply with, "XX is still so much cheaper than back home in EU or USA or XYZ". You can never compare what you are used to back home with where you are currently...and after the 4 yrs on the road I actually started to think 10USD was expensive because I had such a full background of amazing experiences with food for $1-2 USD, hahahaha!!
This is incredibly accurate. I hope other people read this and take the time to understand how and why it happens - we definitely agree with you. When we were eating in these fancier cafes we almost felt a but guilty that we were doing it!
Great video! It doesn’t surprise me that Canguu is the most expensive, after travelling throughout all of SE Asia we found it quite a surprise when we arrived in Bali! Would love to see a comparison video!
Thanks for all the information! I'd be interested in your East Asia comparison video. Also, do you have any videos on Ubud about spending or otherwise? Thanks!
You're the first one to say so, hopefully others do as well. These videos take SO LONG. Hopefully it grabs some good views as well and is worth it in the long run to do another :)
Awesome video - so helpful! Did you find your 2 bedroom villa on AirBnB or through a local rental agency? Have you ever looked for 1 bedroom villas? Would love any tips!
We tried everywhere - airbnb, agencies etc and ended up arranging via a Facebook group. I did film a bit that I had to cut (video was long) about how annoying Canggu/Bali is - there just arent good 1 bedroom villas there and it puts us off going back. Everywhere else we've stayed long term, $600-$1k USD gets you an apartment with fridge and cooking facilities, lounge etc. In Bali it's either $400 on a crappy guesthouse or a 2 bedroom villa for $2k. So frustrating.
Thanks for the feedback Bob - we really havent explored Sanur other than passing through to the ferry. Heard it's a great spot though, will make the effort to properly check it out.
This is a great post. It is very useful. I am in the middle of processing the job application in Canggu and I need the information about the living cost there.
Thanks for another vote, seriously need to make that video! It CAN be cheap, but for most people it ends up being a lot more expensive than they realise.
super video dane,that travel insurance is a winner for me and i will be using them {of course via your link}ive decided to quit my job in oz and start travelling xmas eve so that travel insurance is super handy and the vpn link....would love to see the country comparison chart if you can do it
Dayummmmm it got expensive there! The cost of living is three times more than what we pay for rent here in Finland for two! It certainly all ads up huh. Great informative vid!
@@tothemoon2151 in comparison to the video yes, however 5 years ago the same was not that expensive, and you could go to a bar and fancy restaurant, as well as rent a place with a pool for half the price as well as car hire. In comparison to that, oh yeah it's expensive alright.
@ʞ!ʍ!ɟ!n In a lot of ways, yeah. But as you and @Light and Dark discussed there are cheaper ways to go, the accom alone could have halved if we were happy with a guesthouse, but theyre just a bit shit haha.
I've been looking for an insurance that covers scooter hire (like Covermore does). I'm thinking Safetywing doesn't? They don't mention it (just that they don't cover dirt bikes).
Yes Bali can be very expensive, we so far have stayed in seminyak, ubud and Nusa dua! Nusa dua is lovely and we'll maintained and clean but prices are ridiculous with tax on everything it's definitely a one off Nusa dua. Seminyak so far has been the cheapest ☺ Hey just a question? You both seem very knowledgeable obviously with travelling alot, do you know if it's easy to get bali coconut bowls through customs? Or Is it hard and not worth it? I only want to take around 5 ? Thank you x
Oh see we think Seminyak is the most expensive, even Canggu cafes are cheaper than there! We spent a few days there and will share a video or 2. It was mostly our accom that got us this time, and the drinking and the eating out too frequently really so the costs would have crept up anywhere. Sorry - no idea about the coconut bowls and getting them through customs!
Hey! Absolute love all your videos and style of travel and life! I need a bit of advice. I'm from California and I have been traveling for 6 months. I bartend and I am a brewmaster. Easy jobs to travel around the world with. I do want to find a way to stay in bali longer then my 30days and find work. I have done quite a bit of research on how long and how much it cost. Says it takes 2-3 months and $$$$. Did you obtain a work visa? As well how did you find where your accommodation for the time you were there. Would love to hear back. Keep up the fabulous work loves!!!!!xo
Hey! You need to be really careful about visas if you're going to be working in a shop/bar etc - best to try and find a service that can help you with that, we're not sure sorry. Airbnb or Agoda would be the best place to pick up accom :)
That’s not far off my regular cost of living in the UK, but not so much partying these days. Do you have a guess how much a solo traveller would be spending ?
Suppose thats the biggest comparison though, this was expensive by Bali standards and ours was for 2 people, lots of drinking, eating out 2 or 3 meals a day and keeping super busy. Lifestyle wise would be a bit different to the UK no doubt :P Here's my (Dane) cost of living for one person in Bali: th-cam.com/video/Vosu2EX2_Ak/w-d-xo.html
You changed to SafetyWing insurance? I booked World Nomads based on your recommendation. Is it just because they sponsor you, or did something bad happen with World Nomads? Or was it just the cost and flexibility you mentioned in the video?
Nothing bad about World Nomads at all Mark, you're still in good hands! , For open ended travel we're now with Safety Wing because of that subscription type approach, we can pause or stop when ever and never over pay. World Nomads is perfect if you know your dates of travel as you prepay for the trip upfront, in our case, we often will book a 1 way ticket out of NZ and have to guesstimate when we will be back - that could mean paying 2 months extra, between 2 people, thats 4 months of over paying we'd like to avoid if we have the chance!
Anywhere else in the world, yes. I filmed a bit that I didnt put in this video, but the frustrating thing is how there literally is no good middle ground in Bali... we've traveled the world and always find an option. Not in Bali though.
Hmmm, with the bottled water, you are doing it the wrong way. You need to remove the whole lid. Some water refilling stations in Asia would want the lid back (reuse) but others (in VN) they don't. In the PH, they would want it back but it's okay if you don't return it since they will just let you pay an additional 2.00 PHP on your next water bottle order.
Ahh but if you take the full lid off and then try and tip it over you launch 4 litres of water all over the floor hahaha. All of the bottles we returned, to a few different places, all had the lids on and the slit in them. Vietnam we always had one with a hose on it, so could leave the lid on, can't recall what we had in the PH though... guess we need to go back and see :P
@@DanegerAndStacey well, there's an Asian trick of pouring and not spilling! LOL. We do it all the time and I think I am now a master. But true, I also spilled a few ml's of H2O when I started doing it the first time.

Great video as usual. I would LOVE a matrix of the costs. Thanks for asking.
100x upvote on the matrix of costs

Great video. I was surprised at how much I ended up spending in Canggu vs Ubud. Absolutely love Canggu though, killer vibes
Exactly! Killer vibes but they cost if you’re not keeping an eye on the wallet 🤙🏼

Personally I Think Sanur is Better and Cheaper! However Bali Wherever is Gr8t!!......Gr8t Analysis!
Thanks for the feedback Bob - we really havent explored Sanur other than passing through to the ferry. Heard it's a great spot though, will make the effort to properly check it out.
i love it in sanur. Lots of aussie expats there
And it has a Gr8t Long Beach Front Walk! Loads of good Cheap Eats! Relatively Short of Drunken Bozos!
Lots of selling points there! Will scope it out next time
yes Sanur is great. C is trendy and over rated
This is a great post. It is very useful. I am in the middle of processing the job application in Canggu and I need the information about the living cost there.
Definitely interested in the comparisons. I have always thought Canggu was crazy cheap so thanks for this and explaining it well.
Thanks for another vote, seriously need to make that video! It CAN be cheap, but for most people it ends up being a lot more expensive than they realise.
Daneger and Stacey yea we saw how the costs can easily add up

Telkomsel is the company, specifically we want to Happy Cell in Canggu to buy the sim and data package
Guesthouses around $300 a month you paid $1000 for a Villa. I would think you could find options in between right?! That's for the information cheers!
Anywhere else in the world, yes. I filmed a bit that I didnt put in this video, but the frustrating thing is how there literally is no good middle ground in Bali... we've traveled the world and always find an option. Not in Bali though.
Is the transport cost for one scooter or two?
Just one scooter, Stace doesnt drive one so she used GoJek when we werent together.
More expensive than Croatia and Poland! Who knew?
Thanks.
Not us until we ran the numbers at the end of the month haha.
A simple and easy way to compare all costs and change the currency is to use a spreadheet.
Hi guys. Great video as always.I heard a rumour that you have to be married to stay together as a couple in Bali. Is that true?
There's rumors the new laws will mean no 'sleeping together' but apparently reports coming out now thats not really the case... very odd
Make a comparison video, please!
Please do the cost comparison! :)
Another vote! 🤙🏼
Hmmm, with the bottled water, you are doing it the wrong way. You need to remove the whole lid. Some water refilling stations in Asia would want the lid back (reuse) but others (in VN) they don't. In the PH, they would want it back but it's okay if you don't return it since they will just let you pay an additional 2.00 PHP on your next water bottle order.
Ahh but if you take the full lid off and then try and tip it over you launch 4 litres of water all over the floor hahaha. All of the bottles we returned, to a few different places, all had the lids on and the slit in them. Vietnam we always had one with a hose on it, so could leave the lid on, can't recall what we had in the PH though... guess we need to go back and see :P
@@DanegerAndStacey well, there's an Asian trick of pouring and not spilling! LOL. We do it all the time and I think I am now a master. But true, I also spilled a few ml's of H2O when I started doing it the first time.
Guess we're not Asian enough to control the spillage haha
😮 $1800 for two people! Insane! I was paying 3.5k GBP a month for living in the UK alone ahhaha
This is our most expensive anywhere in the world as well! Check out this vid: th-cam.com/video/jYQ46waY5oY/w-d-xo.html
You spent only a few months there not credible. You booked short term accommodation
Which is legit 20- 50% cheaper but still $1700 is like half of what I spend in South America.
That's kinda the point and standard for most nomads, it's definitely credible. We've spent over a year in Bali.
Your talk so fast.i learning english n practising listening...but thanks for video
