    Very nice video my friend. And I love how you used the analogy of the slowly growing city and not being in a rush... and not forgetting the past. Very well said.

    Great meals at that prices. Hotel looked like a 4 star and hence the pricey stay. But the food was great value!

      The price of steak and wine in South America was fantastic

    It’s beautiful. Not touristy or over populated. How would you rate the city ?

    • @RetireandGo
      @RetireandGo  Před 3 měsíci +3

      The city was walkable and low cost restaurants dotted around.
      Museums
      Art galleries

  • @CheapCharlieChronicles
    @CheapCharlieChronicles Před 3 měsíci +3

    That hotel looked great but $50 is out of my budget for term travel. Unfortunately like you said that price seems like the going rate for much of South America. I’ve heard good things about Paraguay. Great video 👍

    • @RetireandGo
      @RetireandGo  Před 3 měsíci

      Very true CC
      South America is double the costs of Asia
      I’m enjoying it
      But then back to Thailand
      Meet me for songkran !

    Thanks for another great video. You seem to be moving pretty fast through SA. I always thought you were a little slower of a traveler. Safe travels!

    • @RetireandGo
      @RetireandGo  Před 3 měsíci

      True
      In Asia I stay 30 days each location
      I’m more comfortable there
      And it’s half the cost

    Paraguay is a country I want to checkout as a possible retirement destination? I hear a lot of great things about the country. Are you planning on going to Nicaragua? I would love to know your opinion on life in Paraguay and life in Nicaragua, which country do you prefer living in longterm? Anyone else thoughts or opinion!

    • @RetireandGo
      @RetireandGo  Před 3 měsíci +1

      There are about 5 countries I’ll save for next year
      Paraguay was interesting!

    I know your favourite area is SE Asia, but if you had to pick a country in the West which would you possibly take. It seems crime is higher in south and Central America

      Costa Rica
      It was so much fun
      I loved it

      Every south American hop was about 300
      Kind of expensive
      But I’m finding south American travel to be about twice the cost of Asia travel
