AirBnb’s better than Hotels (7 Key Reasons) Ep 68 Going Walkabout
I’m confused as to why you’ve said that you don’t need medical insurance because you have Medicare. Medicare doesn’t cover you in a different country. When we visit a different country we always have separate insurance and we have Medicare. Can you explain ?
Thank you for your feedback. As I had so many questions on SS and Medicare I did a separate video on them just this last week. You may want to view that first. Also I did not say we didn’t need insurance because we have Medicare. I said that as most of the countries we go to have either socialized medicine or much cheaper medicine we pay out of pocket. Please let me know if you have other questions.
1. Be rich and privileged 2. Be rich and privileged 3. Be rich and privileged 4. Be rich and privileged 5. Be rich and privileged
Thanks for your feedback. My husband and I both grew up poor, with nothing from our parents. Not everyone who wants to relocate is either rich or privileged, sometimes you work too bloody hard to see everything you worked for ruined by idiots. 1. Be Smart and resourceful 2. Be Smart and resourceful, 3. Be smart and resourceful etc…
Great info, amazing presentation. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the feedback
Thank you for your insights
Thank you for your feedback
Good information but the music is terribly distracting. TOO LOUD!
Thank you for the feedback, I’m very sorry about the music. I’ve made over 95 videos and never made that mistake, promise, won’t happen again.
I’m 31, the results were terrible in America. Fuck it, I’m immigrating and moving to Canada Legally. I have a love interest who is waiting for me next to all her friends. I can’t believe people re-elected a Two-faced Tyrant Traitor in this scenario and America has gone 15x backwards more than ever. At least in Canada my benefits will actually mean something. Idgaf what anyone says I can still immigrate there legally with Work Visas instead of Trespassing the Canadian border.
Thank you for sharing
Not good pics I know these countries but México 🇲🇽 is the best and super affordable
Thanks for the feedback. I fear all Europe is going to go through a hard time due to Ukraine war. However, as I’ve actually lived in all the places, I can attest as to why they are better pics than many other places.
Living as a US citizen in Europe you might wanna know, that you might not be really welcomed here, at this moment. People over here are having problems to understand what's happening in the US and don't like it at all. Nazi Germany is still in lots of people's heads over here and they are very suspicious about what's going on. We see people flying nazi flags in the streets and noone steps in. That's not what we want in Europe. So you might think twice to move to Europe as people don't like you very much right now.
Thank you for the feedback, as someone who has lived in Europe many times, I am sure most Europeans are shocked at our election results. I have been doing a lot of studying and I think the dumbing down of America plays a big part in this election.
My question are that I’m a single female and traveling/moving is a little bit different. I need to find a place I would feel safe and I’m not sure Mexico or south of the border is it? Any suggestions for a single female?
Thank you for the feedback. Actually Mexico is very safe, you just need to look up statistics for different areas, Mexico City is considered number 8 safest city in N.America. You may try doing a search in RUclips for single women living abroad as well.
So informative! I’m looking for the very thing’s u spoke about.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for your feedback. I have several more videos on expat and costs, when you have time.
I can't believe this popped up!! Not only because of the elections but we are newly retired and want to spend months in a location!! Barcelona..yummmmm. I cant wait to watch all your videos. So clearly stayed and SO FULL of information. I'm curious, when you spent a goodly amount of time in one location, where English wasn't the native language, did you learn the language? even if a little?
Thank you for the feedback. Yes, you do learn a little of the language when you live there, I also use Duolingo.
Estoy enamorada con La Ciudad de Mexico!!
Let the exodus begin from this dangerous country where people voluntarily installed a malevolent dictator…a reverse French Revolution. So embarrassing!
Need a lot of money to just up n move
Thanks for your feedback. You are correct, that is why we sold everything we own, to have the ability to move, not an easy choice but one we are happy we made.
Hi, love your channel, sorry I didn't watch whole video, because I have no time for the time being. I wonder how do you file taxes overseas? Others mentioned USA address, so you pay $300, including take care of your mails, such as take mails home, put mails in place...? I think big problem is tax, address to receive mails, payment to bills, like medicare...
We paid for a suite address, which is different from a PO Box and this far has been accepted by SS, Medicare, Taxes and our banks. Thanks for your support.
@goingwalkaboutnow So suite address is under charge of Post Office? Thanks for your time very much. Wish to know how you file tax if you live overseas? Thanks again !
@ninawood6736 We have a tax man, who files our taxes.
I really wanted to watch your video and it sounded very interesting but that music is terrible. It’s very distracting and it’s too loud. I don’t mean to be rude, but I’m sure you would want to know how it is affecting people. I’m sure I’m not the only one that feels this way.😊
Thank you for your feedback. I’ve made over 95 videos and not made this mistake before . The info is actually pretty good, one lady put the video on mute and that brings up close captions. Promise I won’t make the too loud music mistake again .
Thanks so much for the info. 😊
You are very welcome, thank you for the feedback
I'm not going nowhere my ancestors fought for this land this fkd up country. I have no where else to go nowhere I belong. If you leave go ahead no body will stop you.
You’re talking $60,000 for a year I only make 13,000 a year on Social Security looks like I’m screwed.
Thank you for your feedback. Some folks have written in that they are living on 1200 a month. You can find solid accommodation and lifestyle in other places however you will need to do some research and possibly some trips to make sure the move would be realistic.
I left in 2016 and I have never regretted it. The United States is not the greatest country in the world. And I had to leave it to find that out. I'm so glad I did. I live on social security disability like a queen on a Mexican Caribbean island for less than $1,200 USD a month all inclusive right down to my rent utilities entertainment food etc. I'm getting a third more for my money and I live in 100% safety and peace and prosperity. And the best part? NO TRUMP AND NO GUNS.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you all, teaching and learning is extremely helpful. Peace to you all. I have to stay because I didn't prepare sufficiently. I need to believe that some of my fellow Americans found another way to survive; it gives me strength to carry on here. Respectfully, please thrive.
Thank you for sharing.
Canada said there were not taking any more citizens from the US
Wow, Mexico City! I will have to do some research. I was born & raised in South Bay so would want to explore the beaches there too. Thanks for your informative and detailed videos. PS, budget in Mexico City better than Huatulco?
Thank you for the feedback. Have a look at my Mexico playlist, lots of videos on all areas of Mexico . Short answer on CDMX vs Huatulco, I believe CDMX is more cost effective, we don’t need a car, there is a wide variety of rental properties. Hope this helps.
Great, informative video! Fuengerola, Estepona, Marbella, and others are true gems!
Thank you for the feedback
What about taxes when you sold your house?
That is up to the current tax laws , which each individual will need to research by state and current tax laws. When we sold a married couple could not be taxed on the first 500k of gains on their property.
I would love to hear/see this video without the music which is very distracting and annoying. Why, Why, Why , the music?
Very sorry for the music. I’ve made over 95 videos without making that mistake. The info is really pretty good, you could try putting the video on mute, it will bring in close caption, one lady told me that worked well. Sorry again , won’t make that mistake again.
We've been planning to move back to Jamaica, W.I.
What did you not like about Turkiye? West or South?
I have at least 4 videos on Turkey , we liked it there, just couldn’t see ourselves living there permanently . As a fully Muslim country , it is different, if you are not Muslim.
I need a place that can except my religion and sexuality bc America has gone straight to one and now wants to kill me I need a job and money bc of my seizures America has not allowed me to work so it will be new but really bc of my sexuality I don't want to die so I need it a new home and a country that is talking about stoning me to death is not it.
Thank you for sharing
It's sad that people don't want to live in the US anymore. We are far from UNITED any more. It's hard to call us the united States now with the way everything is. If I could go elsewhere I would too. That's the crappy part. Not everyone can leave here. I hate what this country is and that so many let this happen!! All because of what?? Do they really think he's going to make them rich or what? Holy crap. 😡😡😡
Thank you for your feedback and sharing.
Is it very expensive to live in the South Of France? I'm so happy I stumbled upon your site!❣️🙏🏽
Thank you for the feedback. We actually found the south of France affordable, groceries were less than the US, accommodation was reasonable. I have done several videos on the south of France, just go to my channel, Going Walkabout and you’ll see them.
Thank you all ! I couldn’t be happier for you, hopefully all those celebrities who feel like you all do the same ! How about posting your addresses so all the homeless can go and squat at your vacated homes.
Such a great channel! I would also mention that original medicare is far superior to medicare advantage; aka medicare DIS advantage
Thank you for your feedback and for sharing
Fight, Flight or Freeze. Freeze for the moment. We will win the fight peacefully. I know in my bones it will be alright.
I have never understood why some people seem to think every video needs a music track, especially for information content. For me, it adds nothing and in fact _distracts_ from the information and makes it a little harder to hear. Maybe if it were half that volume it would be ok, but as it was I had to stop watching, just a couple of minutes in.
Very sorry about the music, I’ve made over 95 videos without making this mistake, promise, it won’t happen again. Truth be told, I usually run my videos by my husband first, he only has one good ear, he usually tells me to turn the music down, you guessed it, didn’t do it this time. The info is pretty good, one lady put the video on mute which brings up close captions, that might be an alternative. Thanks for the feedback.
@@goingwalkaboutnow Oh, interesting about your husband, and that makes sense. Closed caption is a thought I hadn't considered; I might try that. But also, as I alluded in another comment, I think I will find the music a bit less annoying now that I've read so many nice (and apologetic) comments from you about that. Funny how that works. I guess kindness & understanding just generates tolerance. :-)
@MikeAnn193 I agree with you, it feels like kindness and tolerance have vacated our lives. We will all have to do our part to bring them back.
Thank you Susan, your video is full of important info, i subscribed. I'm 54, still working, but NJ property tax is skyrocketing, my daughters are grown, plan to visit Barcelona and Merida Mex., soon
Thank you for the feedback and for sharing.
Hi there! We have been going to Vietnam and Thailand for 6 months out of the year however sadly, the air quality is getting so bad that we are looking at Huatulco but was concerned about prices skyrocketing there. Can you recommend a hotel or? to come look at the area for long-term? Thanks for your video and any suggestions. 😊
Thank you for sharing. Your best bet for Huatulco is to stay for a week and see if you like it, there is a new Holiday Inn right near the marina. Huatulco is still pretty underdeveloped however not cheap. We couldn’t find any affordable Airbnb’s in Huatulco and as such spent a month in Puerto Escondido. I’ve got videos on all these places on my channel . Have a look at the videos first , then let me know if you have further questions.
@goingwalkaboutnow Thank you so much for the information:)
and don't forget, put your arms together and blink your eyes, poof you are there............
Such smart advice. I wish I had your insight four years ago when I retired. For a while I luxuriated in having no routine, but it's not as rewarding any more. Time for me to declutter too. Time to get joyfully uncomfortable.
Thank you so much for your feedback. You will never be alone in the discomfort, there will be many in the same boat :)
This is great info. Thank you. That music is so distracting.
Thank you for your feedback, very sorry about the music, I’ve done over 95 videos without making that mistake, promise, won’t happen again.
Thank you so much! First time viewer looking forward to your other videos!
Thank you for your feedback. At this point I’ve done over 95 videos, just go to Going Walkabout, you can view them. The video this week was SS and Medicare.
People need to remember when looking at their income that trump and Musk are cutting social security income and Medicare and Medicaid.
The more that I think about it it's just the more that I just dream about México City in the Polanco Area! so to me there's no wonder that even the U.S.embassy in that country has decided to move to the very beautiful Polanco Area! instead of the very old Reforma zone where it's still by now.
Agreed,
AMERICA IS THE ONLY COUNTRY THAT OFFERS FREEDOM, ONE NATION UNDER GOD.
I'm new to your channel and love your content. However, the background music is EXTREMELY distracting and makes watching your videos difficult. You don't need it and most channels don't have it either. Hope you'll consider going without it. I'd like to be able to watch your videos.
Thank you for your feedback. I’ve made 95 videos without making the music mistake, promise won’t do it again !
Did you check out Panama?
