Definitely Bulgaria, bought a house there 18 months ago and looking forward to moving there permanently from Australia early 2021, has everything, history, food, nature, the Black Sea and awesome people. Also loved my time Montenegro back in 2012/13
Powered Events Agree
What was the price of the home?
What is the cost of living there?
Good on you for getting out of Oz. It's becoming a gulag.
Well done mate, currently planning my escape from Aus, Bulgaria definitely one of the options on my list.
I spent most of 2020 in Budapest. Hungary is a very livable country. Very beautiful, nice historic architecture, friendly people. I think it's a hidden gem. It's government is working hard to preserve its culture, history and sovereignty for all it's people, including my close relatives there.
Agree. Visit there often. Love riding my bike along the Danube.
Taiwan is the hidden gem, friendly people, interesting culture and great nature
Taiwan is interesting but I'll wait to see how the chips fall with China
I would love to visit Taiwan sometime. At the same time, I wonder what will happen with them and China.
@@ChrisBakerauthor I first went almost 10 years ago. Nothing will happen, an invasion from China is too costly.
@@RedgeNumber1 I am glad to hear it. Taiwan is keeping all the great traditions of China alive.
Taiwan is a very tyrannical place since it's foundations hence personal freedoms are very restricted also it's a very technology advanced country with very complex surveillance systems which means it's a police state, people have always been very submissive towards politicians, are increasingly getting more woke, they are the canadians of Asia.
I lived in the Philippines for 3+ years back in 1988-1991 time frame. US Navy, I was stationed in Subic Bay. I had a very spacious 2 BR apartment for $125 a month. Maid service was $40 a month. Friendly, kind people for the most part.
Philippines is high on the list for Americans on Social Security who want to live cheaply.
Mexico 1.28, Costa Rica 2.48, Dominican Republic 4.47, Cyprus 5.54 , Philippines 7.32, South Korea 9.07,
Just found your channel and I am very thankful!
My mother has lived in Puerto Vallarta Mexico permanently since 2004 she owned a property there since the 90’s
She’s happier than I ever remember!
My father has property in Costa Rica since the same time frame. These 2 countries are amazing and with years of visiting I believe both of these countries are better in every way compared to America these days of 2020
Searching just yesterday and fell in love I very with Jalisco, Mexíco
yeah people are delerious about mexico unless something bad happens somehow. the purta vallarta people are ecstatic especially if they bought in early before the prices went sky high
Slovenia. Nice people everyone speaks English. Great recreation and good cities.
I wondered about this country.I see it on TV and think as beautiful as it is I wouldn't want to leave if I went there.
@@w4447crazy taxes though!!
Bulgaria Plovdiv especially. Almost everyone speaks English, folks are friendly. No need for a car. The food is fantastic.
Isn't Bulgaria one of the most corrupt?
@@FrenchSaladMac isn't American one of most corrupt country?
@@sierraclassic720 it is!
@@FrenchSaladMac it is a bit corrupt by European standards but way less than Asia (I have never been to Africa) and possibly South America. Also as a foreigner you are not impacted. I am Bulgarian,
hpopov America is very corrupt and I will be out in the very near future. America's corruption is very unique. It is legalized corruption in the sense that not only is it ok to get away with all the injustice that occurs but there is a radical support group that assists in the brainwashing. "Blue lives matter/ Make America Great Again etc)
Cyprus is a great place, my wife and I spent 10 years in Limassol, well worth a look. Very safe and great food. Also spent a few years in Mexico City also a great place. Thanks for the video.
USA IRS corporate tax restriction is on business done through Cyprus!
Didn't the Cypriot banks bail in back in the late 2000's?
@@lachijames6213 in 2013 yes but only Laki and Bank of Cyprus and only on amounts over 100K Euro. I would never keep over 100K Euro in a Cypriot bank. I lived it, and for me it wasn't bad as I didn't keep all of my money in Bank of Cyprus.
@@nbailey9391Understandable, and thank you, mate. I don't know much about what actually happened at the time. Other than a lot of very wealthy Russians lost a lot of cash as a result of it. I'm going read into more.
@@lachijames6213 I had a lot of Cypriot friends who lost lifetime savings because of it, now things are better but I still wouldn't trust Bank of Cyprus. Another private bank would be a better option, Alpha bank for example has a great reputation.
Bratislava Slovakia. Great location, 45 minute train ride to Vienna with trains running every 30 minutes. Couple hours drive to Budapest, Prague. Cheap flights to the rest of Europe. Everyone speaks English. They are on the Euro but one of the cheapest countries on the Euro. On the Visa Waiver program. I moved almost a year ago from the US and love it. Correct me if I am wrong but it is as far east as you can go in Europe and still be in the EU and use the Euro.
Cyprus is in the Eurozone and is so far east it's not in Europe at all (it's off the coast of Asia Minor and Syria). The Baltic states - all three use the euro - are also to the east.
I lived in South Korea 79'-81' There was Ice on the ground 7 Months out of the year on 79' - 80' but the people are very nice to foreigners.
Hey Don, I agree with you that South Korea can be pretty cold in the winter months, but it would never, ever have ice on the ground for 7 months out of the year! Haha! Well, we all exaggerate sometimes, or our memories fade away as time goes by.
Bulgaria,please. And more on S. Korea. Thank you for your wonderful, insight programs, Andrew!
Have stayed in Malaysia several times and LOVE the place.
Portugal. Czech Republic.
Great video, albeit one with an emphasis on urban living.
Thanks for including the Philippines. A great place to live in for sure!
South Korea gets very cold in the winter. It's very comfortable in the summer. I enjoyed living in both Busan and Seoul.
I disagree. Busan can be horribly sticky and humid in summer, as can Seoul.
Had a place almost ten years now in Reykjavik Iceland .The housing market has remained strong and continues to go up . I love the cool weather and cannot be in hot places like California anymore .
I've heard the general cost of living in Iceland is a bit on the high side though. Thoughts?
@@Atropos06 It is about like California now . Fuel is about 4 times as much also I always figure on food and other goods to be about two to three times as much as in the US .The taxes are about California like also .
Andrew, I have been to Punta del Este, Uruguay and it is an absolute gem. It is considered the Monaco of South America. Will you please consider doing a video on Punta del Este, Uruguay?
Thanks for the idea, Julian.
@@nomadcapitalist Uruguay gives you six tax free years on foreign income. After that 12.5%.
@@nomadcapitalist Get on this as Argentina seems too too expensive and this Uraqua seems a alternative.. thanks for all you do btw
Very interested in hearing the Nomad's opinions about Uruguay
I'd like to hear more about Costa Rica. I'm considering moving there.
Great video. Would love more like this
I live in Portugal...Ticks all my boxes...Small country with every type of topography from Mountains, rivers, lake's, ocean and island's...I used to live in Mexico however the Energy has Changed...I lived in Tulum and it became too trendy and expensive, West Coast in Puerto Vallarta, same an more Violence...Costa Rica has become Gringolandia, Ticos do not like...more folks moving to Nicaragua and or Panama...Better resident program's...Portugal is an fairly safe country and resident pre Covid-19 easy for investors...in Porto today...Took train from my casa in Lisboa...Modern and pretty quick and cheap to me for first class...Food is awesome, variety bom....Healthy living and activities abound...
Is the cost of living relatively low?
@@suprensa4393 For me across the board here in Portugal the cost of living is less Expensive compared to Austin, Texas...If I moved out of the Capital, Lisboa...it would be even less...
@@dickielarue1451 Damn. You know I find that interesting because I am from the US and my friend is currently in Portugal with his middle age parents because they are scouting out places to retire where the cost of living is cheaper and they fear that they won't be able to afford the cost of living in the United States during retirement.
@@suprensa4393 The world has become nomadic...People moving for various reasons...The name of the game is to pay less and keep more jingle in your pocket...Pre-covid 19 you could move around and scout different places out...Now it's very difficult...There's plus and minus to every place you look at...Ultimately you are in control of your happiness and well being...However if you are not happy on the inside, it does not matter where you move...Cheers!
hey, what's the covid restrictions stuff like in Portugal now? you wrote here 3 weeks ago, that's a lifetime these days... thanks and greetings from Brooklyn Ny
Recent subscriber to your channel here and I love your content. From personal experience, I would not advise or recommend the DR due to the crime. I was doing business there, had a bank account, a residence I had recently purchased so I was invested in that place. On a business trip a few years ago my group in 2 vehicles were stopped on the highway from Boca Chica to La Romana. It was a police or military personnel that stopped us. It was a shake down.
I speak fluent spanish having lived in Cuba for in the 90s but I didn't say anything and only listened in the beginning.
In short, $500 US dollars got us a pass. They were in government vehicles and I recalled as much info as I could and reported it. We never heard if they caught them but the damage was done for me.
I knew the city Santo Domingo was pretty bad with the drugs and gangs but to experience this outside the capital and local law enforcement (not proven but uniforms, vehicles etc was extremely convincing) were the perpetrators of this...I was done.
I don't know if you've heard similar stories but up to that point I loved the place. I had a beautiful home overlooking the beach, and was about to begin our business which I had only invested a few hundred thousand at the time. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for including some cooler climates. South Korea might be more seasonal but Costa Rica and Mexico have areas that are near perfect year round. I find that very appealing.
Costa Rica is great and safe with wonderful people and food. I used to drive around Mexico all the time visiting the Mayan ruins but too dangerous right now for me. If that changes, Mexico would be my top destination. People are wonderful. South Korea is expensive but fantastic.
Had a house in Akumal Mayan riviera and I felt totally safe and it wasn’t on a drug route. Canada loses a lot of money in expats and tourists every yr to Mexico so of course the media pushed it. Felt safer there than in Vancouver but next time I’d likely look at Guadalajara instead.
Nice outlying places around GDL... Chapala, Tonalá, Tlaquepaque. Easy in and out thru great airport.
That is why it is good to be open minded because that will change your destiny or fortune. The places that are the least talked about or that are looked down on are the places with the most potential in terms of living the high life and creating generational wealth.
@@Speedy300 damn man, it's nice that I found like minded individuals here. It's really a breath of fresh air to find westerners not drinking the kool aid of "Muh country is number #1" type of BS.
I love you whoever you are, stay safe.
@Pui Yue Not "numerous". I think that, from 2012 on, there might have been 4, and some were reputed to have some cartel associations. I have a home there, and word gets around about anything to do with gringos. If there were "numerous", I would have heard about it.
@Pui Yue Yes. Rumor is that our town is protected because a cartel boss has family living here, so it's "hands off". There was an incursion in 2012 to the town of Chapala, from a Michoacan cartel, and killed the police chief. It scared a lot of people. Seems to have calmed down. Guadalajara itself doesn't typically have cartel activity. Large tech community and university there.
Loved visiting Mexico but the Yucatan is unbearably hot, even in the springtime. I will make my next vacation to some of the high mountain towns of Mexico where the climate is much milder for us Canadian visitors.
GREAT video! Since you asked to comment - yes, please do more videos on some countries you normally aren't discussing. Specifically, can you look into Bulgaria? I have a number of friends there all saying it's a great place to live and cheap, but I don't know that they know enough about taxes.
Hi from Paphos. Always wondered why Cyprus was not mentioned. Happy it was mentioned now and also the area Paphos.
Andrew- it would be awesome if you would do a video on the significance of language barriers in your choice destinations for livable countries!! Thanks for your awesome information!
Another excellent video sir 🙏🏽 well done
Glad you enjoyed it.
Great video again, Andrew! One country in Europe you rarely talk about is Liechtenstein. It's interesting for tax reasons and while not very exiting to live there, you are effectively inside Switzerland and very close to Zürich and Munich. Any major upsides or downsides to it? RE seems fairly easy to find there.
Hi Andrew! thanks for making these videos. I would love to hear more about the following: in Europe: Monaco (I know you made an extensive article - but would love to know more!), Andorra and Liechtenstein; in Latin America: Chile, Uruguay and a (bit more of) Panama; in the Middle East would be great to have more info about the UAE and Bahrain
Hey Andrew, with war potentially breaking out in the Caucuses region between Azerbaijan and Armenia (with Turkey backing Azerbaijan), have your thoughts about investing in the region changed? Really curious.
My personal top 3 would be : Cambodia - Thailand - Georgia
If you like the tropics and not like the typhoons then Thailand and Cambodia are ok. Georgia is really Top Top Top !!! Cheap and developed . Extreme nice people. And easy to get an visa / resident. But like to hear more about Nepal - Chili - Namibia
I lived in Buenos Aires for 8 years. Beautiful but gritty city. Lots of US expats. The economic/political climate is always turbulent but you get used to it. Lots of bureaucracy. Uruguay is great if you like rural coastal setting. I spent a lot of time in Colombia & really liked it.
Hello Endless Hybrids. I am curious about your comment in regards to Buenos Aires being a beautiful city. It used to be back in 1990 during my last visit. However, in 2016, I moved there and I was completely shocked how much it changed. It is a very dirty, messy, and unwelcoming city. Plus, the native people are rude, loud, and obnoxious, they throw trash everywhere, and bums are sleeping in the streets. Even my wife who is Argentinean has admitted it because she has lived here all her life. We are making plans to get out and possibly move to Uruguay. Anyway, what part of Buenos Aires are you referring to?
@@gammaechofoundationproductions Hi, I did say gritty. By beautiful, I didn't mean clean. It's dirty, true. It's the architecture that I find outstanding, particularly compared to cities in the U.S; I found a certain beauty among all the grim, but I know what you're talking about regarding the litter and attitudes of the locals. But I did like the big city vibe. As for friendliness, I did find Uruguayans to be a lot more relaxed and friendly compared to porteños. I lived in San Telmo & Barrio Norte. Good luck with your move!
@@endlesshybrids Yes, Buenos Aires is certainly gritty and it has a lot of personality. You will certainly not be bored here, I'll give it that. As for architecture, I will admit that it is better in Argentina compared to back home in the U.S., although the architecture in Portland, Oregon is quite amazing. However, for me the most impressive architecture in the world is in Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, and Asia as a whole. Argentina cannot even compete with that. And yes, you are right about Uruguayans being a lot more relaxed and friendly compared to Argentineans, however, I did find some Argentineans in Buenos Aires to be quite friendly and forthcoming, much to my surprise, considering that the majority of them are not like that. As for our move, well, it's too early to tell because we intend to implement the 5 Flag Travel Method. New Zealand, Hong Kong, and Malaysia may also be a part of our 5 Flags plan, we'll see. So, how about you? Where do you plan on moving?
Mexico also has the advantage of being around 2 hours from the States. Especially good for retirees who have not renounced their US citizenship. Ps that glam smoking jacket should become official Nomad attire!
Why is it not good for us who renounced?
@@ronpep2456 I meant it's fine except that you may not have as much freedom to travel to US, depending on your other citizenship.
Gracias, Andrew😎
I’d like to know What’s your take on Portugal 🇵🇹& Angola 🇦🇴
Sofia Bulgaria, the Colorado Springs of Europe.
Love both
I need to check out Bulgaria. I've always been on the fence about it.
@@jaws2003 indeed. Low taxes, beach and mountains right next to each other, good system of mid sized cities, low wages, a relatively easy citizenship program, great passport, cheap housing and hey it might become a member of the Shengen Area in the near future, just saying😉
We loved bulgaria and lived there 2 years
@@guilhermesalesferreiradaco2934 sorry for the late reply. I thought I responded back. Thank you for the information. I'm gonna look into everything some more.
Curacao.
Great weather and good infradtructure.
I’m curious what your take is on South American countries, especially Uruguay.
Andrew, would like to hear more about Mexico Temp and Permanent residency programs and how to leverage it.
Nice to hear about Mexico. My husband and I are checking out Ajijic/lake Chapala this week as part of our Trifecta plan.
Dubai will be next during the winter.
Italy for a few weeks in the Spring. Portugal to see about a Golden Visa.
I'm excited to check these places out.
Would really appreciate your sharing information and your impressions as you progress through your assessment... though I'm not personally interested in the Middle East
Ajijic is nice but boring, if you're under 60 I would suggest Guanajuato or San Miguel de Allende.
@@Xergecuz I thought San Miquel was for old folks
Tamarindo is absolutely wonderful!
I live in Taiwan. I love it here and for me, it's a perfect blend of Asian cultures without a lot of the overhead that comes with some of the other places around here. The healthcare system and opportunities for investing, chasing startups, and enjoying the culture is excellent. Also, permanent residency is definitely an attainable goal.
@CD what's the procedure for immigrating to Taiwan from India please explain
Agreed Taiwan is awesome....might get island fever though...lol
Some Indians live in Taiwan. If you can get a job here, then you can get a work permit and a residence visa.
I might stay here and get permanent residence. It depends on how much money I can make in Taiwan.
As a Canadian, we always want warmer weather....and fewer taxes. I’ve been to Nicaragua, Panama, Costa Rica, Spain, Antigua, Mexico but I’m curious to hear your thoughts on Ecuador, and Medellin. I think COVID has highlighted some difficulties with airport closures. Anyways, I started my kids on Mandarin years ago but switched to Spanish because it’s easy to learn for EVERYONE and that to me is the indicator that it will continue to prosper. German is another language that is just too time consuming and difficult to learn. Spanish is very popular in Toronto these days....
Looking at Panama🇵🇦 end of next year!
Why I never hear anything about Vietnam? I think you've even helped people in crypto that are currently residing in Da Nang and such. I would love to hear more about it.
Love ❤️ your book
I’ve been thinking about Mexico (primarily Cabo San Lucas to San Jose del Cabo). Any chance you could do a video on the area. I’ve done a bunch of research, but having your opinion would definitely be a plus.
Thanks for discussing DR. It's been on my radar lately and this helps to confirm that I should look deeper.
My FAVORITE place that you rarely mention is Taiwan.
Pros - Great value. Very nice mix of urban and nature throughout the island. Tons of modern amenities. Gold Card makes immigration and permanent residence pretty simple.
Cons - Not a tax haven at all, although the Gold Card helps temporarily. And the ever present threat of invasion by China
I don’t think I know what the Gold Card is, but I live in Taiwan. I have a job here. It is a beautiful island. I love the mountains. Real estate appears to be very expensive. I want to figure out how to get rich here. The Taiwanese have a lot of wealth. But I think people here get rich very slowly.
I've spent two years between Ukraine and Philippines and loved it. Ukraine is one of my favorite places in the world to live! Amazing people, great food, talented/educated labor force, and fascinating culture.
That's a great combination. I have been to Ukraine several times and enjoyed it in Kiev and Poltava and have only scratched the surface so far.
@@kenmcclow8963 very nice! Yeah it's a great country. So much to explore. I'm looking forward to spending more time there
1. I like the Philippines and Davao city in particular. To me it's very relaxed more than Manila or Cebu in my opinion. There are a lot of expats living in Iloilo and Dumagete. I will look more into the SRRV visa since I'm 35.
2. To me the Dominican Republic is a hidden gem. Many people come for the beaches but I like the mountains. If you go to some of the mountain cities like Constanza then the temperatures can be pretty cool. I am going back in November.
3. I've heard Cambodia is a hidden gem. I want to say they offer dual citizenship.
4. I thought Morocco as well has a solid citizenship program. I've read that they are a little strict about visa runs though.
@@hubertcumberdale2651 You're right as a tourist destination but I am talking about getting a second citizenship and residency.
@@hubertcumberdale2651 that's good to know about the improvements but that also sucks about the lack of medical care. That's important to me as well.
How can something that attracts millions of backpackers be called a hidden gem.
@@eduardochavacano I'm speaking to the context of this channel and people becoming global citizens. Backpacking is a whole different concentration.
@@jaws2003 how do you deal with the DR medical care?
Hi Andrew - I'm so glad I found your channel. I like this show as you discuss Central America, what are your thoughts on Guatemala or Belize? Based on economic growth its has grown more than Mexico.
The Most expensive Airport I had been is San Jose Costa Rica. Prices ( food )are OUT of this world.more expensive than London Airport.
What's worth mentioning about Cyprus is that English is widely spoken qs it uswd to be a British colony. You can even communicate with authorities in English (also in writing and using English forms).
The Dominican Republic & Morocco. The real estate pricing and lifestyle at the DR is outstanding; new builds in Santo Domingo look great, as well as the 40 year plus history, of the Casa de Campo development. An equil lifestyle, as Miami Beach. Also, Morocco looks at be a great place to live and possibly invest.
hey, do you have some more specific leads as far as this real estate you've mentioned?
He is so correct .... I have built a network with people in Mexico... and it has such amazing opportunities... I’m en route very soon and it’s right next door
Interested I. More about Costa Rica Manuel Antonio area and very intrigued with what Mexico on the west coast side can offer for a ya citizen tax perspective
I am new to your broadcast & find it fascinating! I've been to Costa Rico for a conference, and didn't get to see much of the country, however the local people were very nice, & the food was awesome. I have an associate who was developing eco-friendly homes there as well. I would love to hear more about living in Costa Rico.
Thank you Debi for the Idea happy to have you😍
10 years and counting in Dominican Republic... That says it all.
The Kapitelist could you please elaborate
As an American I have a great passport, but becoming a Dominican would give me, the ability for safe travels, if the US passport becomes problematic, as it is now. I've liked the Dominicans I have met in Miami Beach, they all seem very pro-American.
@@FrenchSaladMac Elaborate on why I have been living in DR 10 years? Or if there is something else you would like to know please ask. I will do my best to answer.
@@bodyloverz30 Dominican Republic passport is not a "good" passport per se.
@@thekapitelist434 True, but it will get you out of the country, when the US passport is not allowed.
South Korea was fairly easy to live and operate in (if you barely need any local employees) although best stay away in the middle of winter. Can be brutally cold.
l was looking for somewhere in south America but l most probably gonna try Turkey this winter again.
l did it last year and it was cheap comparing other european countries
Hi Andrew, another awesome video...thank you so much...would love to hear more about Mexico...living up here in Canada, Mexico is a no brainer...although my heart is set on Malaysia
Jam Silver I’d do some research before heading to Malaysia. No longer friendly to expats.
Garafraxis thank you so much for that info...will definitely do so research before heading over...🙏🏿
If you have the passport you need and want to live somewhere affordable and run a small business, you could come to Nigeria.
I would love for him to talk more about African countries...i think there are many hidden gems!
Nigeria is the “ it “ country right now..... a lot of businesses are very interested in Nigeria as it is a rising star.
Please mention to stay away from the east of the country where Boko haram is.
@@synewparadigm North-east, not East
Right, really you are kidding? OH I know your cousin is a prince and just needs $10,000 to claim his inheritance! He will pay it back 10X over in a month!
Just some more info/opinion.
Australia (pre-covid) offers a 1-2 year working holiday visa. Western/inclusive culture, high minimum wages etc. with the option of student, partner, sponsored and skilled visas if you wish to extend.
NZ offers similar.
The UAE Abu Dhabi or Dubai. 3 months travel visas. You can find high end hotels for 3000 Dirhams a month. Perfect for the winter months.
Especially if you have enough in the bank or passive income and don’t need to work. If you needed to do a border run flights to countries around the GCC can be found for under $60.
Great content keep it up!
Andrew, for a long time, I was big on going to Canada, but lately, I've been looking seriously at Mexico...I think the weather, Culture and people, are more to my liking and my way of thinking...Cuba and Paris are also high on my list...When the travel ban ends, I will take a trip... :-)
شكرا اندروا على الترجمة 😍👏🏻
Thank you
Thank you! I am interested in the Dominican Republic, Cyprus, and the Philippines. Maybe you could also say more about Armenia? And you could, if you chose, make occasional progress reports on countries you have already mentioned, such as Georgia. Times change, especially at the moment. Thanks for a great channel!
Adrian Fletcher Adrian Armenia...:isnt going through their very best moment,specifically today.Check the news...
Carlitos El cremita - Thank you. Indeed. As I said, times change. They may change again.
Check out my post about the Philippines on this tread.
Cyprus is #2 on my list of places to consider citizenship, right under Jersey Island
Ecuador 🇪🇨 A would enjoy your perspective.
I lived in Costa Rica for a long time and it isn't what it used to be. There is more petty and violent crime and prices have gone up considerably. If you are looking for mountains or beaches in the same time zone as the eastern US, Panama is a better choice in my opinion. I am currently a Panamanian resident and I absolutely love it.
I used to live in Cyprus. It's nice but you can quite quickly get bored. You have mentioned Portugal recently. Can you say something more about it?
I would like to hear more about Mexico and Costa Rica- please
Mexico = drug cartels! Costa Rica/Panama are nice places, but high real estate for foreigners.
George B Drug cartel are a problem only in a few regions. Overall Mexico is very safe.
The roads in CR are awful, that's why he said it's not for people who travel a lot by road.
I am in Costa Rica since 3 years. It become too much new taxes. All my friends are always left for Panama. I will do it when Panama will open the borders...
@@nataliasansnom8738 Must have a lot to do with all those expats arriving LOL! A country's gotta keep up its 'attractivity' you know... Window dressing.
Costa Rica looks beautifully colorful!
I’d like to hear more about Mexico and Costa Rica. We are considering moving to one of these areas.
Thanks my fellow Buckeye Brother 😎
South Korea, what a contrast between North and South. You can really tell what economic freedom can do for people and countries.
What do you think about Andorra, for people with western European passports?
Thank you for talking about the Philippines
I definitely prefer cooler weather. I have lived in Texas my whole life and would like a cooler climate for sure. Great video.
I'm a cooler weather guy myself and therefore really like Mexico. On the central plateau its just pleasant all year round! Rwanda is also great!
Tell us more about South America!!! Brazil especially
I've been to four of those six countries, most of them several times but Dominican republic only once.
No to the Dominican republic, Philippines, and especially Mexico.
Yes to Costa Rica. That's the only one of the four that I would consider going back to and consider living there. The worst thing that you'd have to worry about is a pickpocket in the Streets of San Jose. Whereas in the other three, you could quite easily end up dead while taking an evening walk in the city.
I want to live in a country where I can safely leave my gated community and walk in the streets of the cities.
I don’t find the Philippines dangerous, yes parts of Manila. Out in the outer smaller islands are very safe. Don’t display your wealth, which is wise in any underdeveloped country. USA big cities can be very dangerous. You want the safest then go to Japan.
San José isn’t that bad. Does it look sexy? No. The city is very ugly but it’s relatively safe during the day. Costa Rican’s are generally peace loving people.
@Will Ting It was a beautiful city in the 90s when I first visited so historic! Loved it then. Now I understand there are many facotires on the outskirts and when I wen through and stayed overnight the downtown area was still beautiful and modernized with paseos and lighting.
Couldn't disagree more on this. I've spent the last ten years living in Mexico and the Philippines (and have backpacked Costa Rica before that). I walked around drunk after midnight in Mexico City and others after nights out. Same with living in Makati and BGC in Manila. Nothing ever happened to me, and i was alone many times.
San Jose i felt was the ugliest big city... Although I'd definitely consider Costa Rica, too. Just not the capital.
The only place I never felt comfortable was Guatemala City. Barbed wire everywhere and daily news about bus robberies and murders.
You never know how a place is until you go there and debunk the news yourself. Have fun everyone.
@@rayfinkle9369 Yes Guatemala City is hell , but Lake Atitlan and the ANtigua area are HEAVEN on earth! Year round Spring climate, people, beauty, views of volcanos, ease of life, safety......they have all that and more.We have lived here 20 yrs...we go to GUatemala City only to fly out and back in PERiOD, via private shuttle, that at least is safe.
Thank you for talking about Costa Rica 🇨🇷! ¡Pura Vida!
Hi. Fascinating advice from someone who looks like the most interesting in the world. I am being complimentary.
Macedonia is quite nice too, and they have a residency by investment programme.
Very corrupted.
I would love for you to speak more about Barbados and Saint Martin has options for retirement/ investment
Barbados and Saint Martin are expensive.
I'm intrested to see a video about the country of Chile. I know they've had some civil unrest in recent months, but when I went to go visit, before COVID, it was quite beautiful and peaceful. Apparently in the small town I went to visit, a lot of Europeans go there to Surf every summer.
High crime, really high, could be robbed at gun point during regular traffic stops, also gangs violence and political instability, ...
@@vcashyn not for a second, did I feel unsafe in Chile.
Too much political strife and envious outlook on life.

Love to see you in that jacket. My late father had a jacket almost the same. He was such a stylish man! My brother's son inherited it and absolutely cherishes it. Most importantly, thank you for your wonderful videos!
Please do a video on purchasing property in Yerevan.
Love the Lounge Jacket! Next, wear it and sit back on that wonderful couch, coffee in hand! :)
Also known as a smoking jacket, sported by those who are gentlemanly.
Don’t forget the cigar and brandy snifter.
Panama is #1 on my list for a bunch of reasons : first and foremost the banking system and its financial solidity, then climate ( ANYTHING BELOW 75 IS WINTER FOR ME !) and finally personal safety. There are thousands of American and European expats who relocated to PAnama and for a good reason ! Plus it is connected with direct flights to the Americas , Asia and Europe. A++
What can you tell us about Lithuania? I have not heard you mention that country! Thanks!
Yerevan, Armenia. Scenic, gastronomy, inexpensive and slower pace of life
If you like four seasons, kind of Swiss weather I can recommend Poland. 9% CIT under 2 million euro in revenue. High standard of living with a moderate cost, educated society., safer than western Europe.
Portugal I heard was good? Maybe the Azores too. Some more about eastern Europe and in particular the old Yugoslavia countries. Affordable and safe are my interests... Thanks!
Sth Korea living in Seol would be amazing. Maybe for part of the year.
I moved to Costa Rica seven years ago And I love this country and its people
