The way you raise your right eyebrow while putting stress on the the last syllable of a few words is kind of nice/cute/attractive/appreciative.đđ
We all have our quirks!
@@TravelingwithKristin Not all quirks lead to a soothing effect! :)
Fantastic leads, Kristin! In Dutch, it's "Te Huur" for rent.
Glad you liked it Andrea! Thanks for sharing that trivia đ

Very useful and helpful clip. Thank you so much
I am glad the video was helpful, @Ice Fishing! You are welcome đ
Very useful Kristin, thank you.
You are welcome, glad to know it was helpful đ
1613USD in mexico city is insane. A good ABNB apartment in Roma location runs around 500-700USD/month. Entire place.
Yes thatâs why I said to check Airbnb so you know the comps there, then find a better deal with the other 30 sites or strategies I listed đ
Kristin - great meeting you at Vid Summit! Loved your presentation. Nice video - and I like how you added yourself in the lower right corner without a square box or green screen ;-)
Thank you for coming to my talk! I hope it was helpful đ Glad you liked my video and my presentation.
I wish I could "like" 100 more times.
THANK YOU! â€ïžâ€ïžđ
These were great! Didnât realize there were so many other websites and options other than Airbnb

Thanks!
Welcome!
Thank you! so helpful & inspiring!!!
Glad it was helpful! You're welcome Dimitra! :D
Good list on finding rentals abroad besides AirBnb. đ
Thanks Sammie!
So informative pura vida
You are welcome!
OMG. So many choices I need to check out! Screw living in the same place for your long term vacation or retirement. I could mix it up and choose a few different ones every year.
Go for it Spiegel! Happy travels!
That's been my retirement dream ever since hearing a Rick Steves podcast interview with a couple who did it. Now, they had an adult child they could stay with in their home country when they wanted to take a break, so that's something to consider. Steves asked them what they absolutely had to pack for their long term stays in other countries and they said good kitchen knives đ bc vacation rentals don't usually have good ones. So that's another thing to think about - what do you HAVE to have in your day to day life.
Wow, you really nailed that! Because of Brexit âč we've been looking for short let basic accommodation in the Netherlands for 2-3 month cycling experiences and airbnb had seemed the best option. But your excellent advice has opened my eyes! One option I had not heard of is Home Exchange and our 4 bedroom house in London would be empty whilst we let abroad but if we sussed Home Exchange out it would save us money and mean our house is put to use which is a good thing. Options 2-10 looked like vey good places for us to dip our toes in the water. Many thanks, it was very clearly presented and you are a starâ!
Glad to know you liked the video, Dave! Thanks for watching đ
very educative,thank you.
Youâre welcome
Got to this a little late, Kristin but really enjoyed the info. Lots of great sites mentioned and very helpful. Thanks. (by the way, it's Erik one of the coffee providers.) :P
Hi Erik, so glad you liked it! I'm sure your coffee donations contributed to the production of this video! Thanks again đ
As always, informative and comprehensive. A virtual smorgasbord of options in looking for various properties, and some options that many will not have considered (including me). My Dad has done home exchanges successfully in the past throughout Europe and I think it would be an ideal way to see other countries. I will check into it. But the number of options can be overwhelming so I would pick one and try it out and venture forth if necessary. I have used Airbnb in places like Boston and Paris in the past with success. I like having more options and more budget friendly options listed here. I expect to share and revisit this video. Thanks!!
Sorry couldnât connect in WhatsApp
That's alright Robert that was not mine. It seems like that profile was a spam, impersonating me. I blocked it from my channel. Anyway, glad to know you enjoyed my video! đ Go for it, these options might suite you.đ It's my pleasure to share these information to you, thank you as well for watching and for leaving a comment. đ
This was very helpful! Keep these coming. Do you have ideas on how to find property (rental or sale) in areas that are considered more rural but are still great for digital nomads? We can't go completely off grid as digital nomads but would love to be in nature with food and water sources.
Not that I know of specifically but I think you can find some using the sites that I've mentioned.
I've heard of a couple of these, but I have never heard of most of the ones you listed. I will definitely have to look into these other sites when planning long-term travel hopefully soon. I still need to become location independent which should hopefully be very soon. Thank you for this video!
You are welcome Scottman. Glad that the video was informative for you, you should definitely checkout the outer strategies I've mention. Hope you could travel soon and if you need help with becoming a digital nomad you can check out my website www.digitalnomadbootcamp.com đ
@@TravelingwithKristin Definitely! I'm in the Freelance to Freedom course of yours which is already helping so far. I want to try to complete the course over the next several weeks!
Thank you, the information you provided will save lots of time in searching. Sorry that some people who commented below do not get, its about options. The site that shows a $2,000 a month apartment rental, can also show an apartment for $250 a month. You need to look and screen.
Glad to know the video was helpful to you Pat! đ No worries about that
Dear Kristin, thanks for rich information how to found accommodation.
Read and prepare for youtube creator of helpful services I'm happy to see your video montage work - Excellent quality and Timing.
You are welcome! Glad to know you enjoyed the found the video helpful. It's my pleasure to share these with you. :)
I will be enjoying this video/these resources for the forseeable future. Just declined the "competitive" offer of âŹ3.6k for 5 months while my current room in a shared house is just under âŹ400/m. Madness!
Glad to know the video is helpful đ
This was super informative and helpful!!!!! Thanks so muchđđđwe learned a lot and now, where to start đđ€Ł
Glad it was helpful! It is my pleasure to share these info đ You can start with choosing a destination
@@TravelingwithKristin thank you! That IS a good start đ€Ł currently traveling full time globally and like how you suggest using airB&B as a base for price and go from there. We have had some âinterestingâ experiences with using AirB&B and thatâs putting it nicely so this is quite timely as we know we need other resources if we are seriously going to continue living/traveling the globe
You can also apply for my new relocation course for more help with your move at www.travelingwithkristin.com/apply
@@TravelingwithKristin Thatâs great to know as we are just discovering your channel and werenât aware of that! Thank you
I found a lot of these rooms that you offer a pretty reasonable prices and there's cheap or expensive as he wants them to be.. depending on your pocket..
There are properties out there for everyone!
My FAVOURITE video you've done. This will now be my bible for traveling. I am no longer a slave to Airbnb or estate agents. FANTASTIC - I owe you "another" beer. You're my jedi master.
oh wow! Glad to know it was helpful Dan. Thank you for the kind words---appreciate it. đ
Excellent blog as always! I will be referencing this in preparation for next years vacation. By chance do you have any suggestions for car rentals or have you already done a blog for recommended car rentals?
You're welcome, Brian. No car rentals videos yet but where are you traveling to?
@@TravelingwithKristin We spend two of our 3 weeks in the Czech Republic visiting my wifeâs family. I typically use either auto Europe or europcar when we visit. One thing I ask for when renting a car is the ability to cross international borders because where she grew up in the CZ borders Poland and Slovakia. During the first week we go some place in Europe like Italy, France, or Germany. This time weâre looking into going to Lisbon first. This is where your suggestions on rental properties will come in handy.

It's great videos I like your channel
Glad you like them! Thank you so much đđ
Great video!
Thank you! đ
Wow, Kristin, you are so thorough with your advice. I really am glad that I found you. When I travel around Europe next year, I will really look for you. I like people like you, who are pretty and smart. Thank you dear new friend.
You are so welcome! I am glad that I am able to help you Antonio. Thanks for watching đđ
@@TravelingwithKristin Having been a bank executive, I always am impressed with people who know what they are doing. And you Kristin, clearly know what you are doing. Keep it up dear.
Thank you so much. :-)
You're welcome any time! đ
Also try searching property sites in the local language such as "immobilier" in French or "kiralık" in Turkish for stays longer than one month. Many times, the real estate sites list rental properties as well as properties for sale.
Thanks for sharing this, Linda!
You've are the greatest
Thank you Lawrence! đ
Great video, Kristin. As a couple who spends over 75% of the year "slow traveling" this was a great resource for looking at Airbnb alternatives. Thanks.
Glad you found the video helpful. Happy travels you two đ
A great list. I'm a little lazy or too content with using the same sites over and over. I need to compare with other sites.
Glad you liked it! You should try and compare it đ
That's a fantastic list Kristin! I'd found a few of those, but nothing quite so comprehensive. I'll definitely be checking them out. Have you encountered any issues with places if you don't speak the native language?
Glad you liked the list Philip! Iâve always been able to get by when I donât speak the language but I recommend trying to learn the basics even if youâll be there a short time. Google Translate and other apps also make it easier to communicate these days!
I wish you could list all these websites ..great info !!
Will add them to the description!
God information!!đ
Thank you Miky! đ
number1!
Awesome! How was your experience with the site?
Kristin looking beautiful â€ïž
Thank you Nolnsta đ
Is it better being a frequent flyer with the same airline or switching everytime to cheapest one?
Frequent flier all the way
đđ great
Thanks!
What do you usually use to book? I've always used air bnb in many different countries and I think it's been fair and always good hosts.
Hi Andrew, Iâve used all of these methods
Interesting
Had you heard of most of these sites or all new?
@@TravelingwithKristin A heard a few of the site.
Kristin are you decided come to Los Angeles ?
Yes! Will send and post details in the next 24 hours or so đ
@@TravelingwithKristin if you have an email I can email you with my contact info as well ⊠otherwise I wait for the announcement â€ïž
Do you carry iron in your bag while traveling cz i doubt that these rentals would have any iron there.
Nope but most have an iron
Kristin so are you for hire then if I wanted to find a decent one bedroom apartment in a nice neighbourhood in Tbilisi for instance for under $500 per month?
Yes, to reach out for a specific services you can check out this link: www.travelingwithkristin.com/contact-kristin đ
I would only use reputable sites to find accommodations because it is easy to get ripped off especially in Europe
That's a good idea too Stu đ
