Some HARSH LESSONS of CRUISE SHIP LIFE?
So as we near the end of our 18 day cruise ship experience on the MSC Seaside … 18 days of a cross-atlantic voyage from Barcelona to Miami … it’s time to reflect on the realities of the cruise. Yes, I’ve done some videos already which may or may not have painted a bleak picture. And while some of that is indeed true, there are things that I like about this. (Maybe? LOL!))

A Fine Walking Tour of CÁDIZ SPAIN

Ahem, this was initially released as a Patreon/Membership video. But ... I just had to give y'all a peek at a typical weird day in our lives. LOL! Howdy Friends! Just a little walk around Cádiz Spain on a port-of-call-day on the good ship MSC Seaside. Unfortunately that means that we have seriously limited time. Just enough of a taste. But trust me, the taste was good. PS: That sea monster that...

Could We LIVE FULL-TIME ... on a CRUISE SHIP?

We’re currently on the MSC Seaside, a cross-atlantic repositioning cruise from Barcelona Spain to Miami Florida. 18 days from start to finish. And so we have a grand opportunity to figure out if “retiring” to the life of a cruiser is for us.

    100+ crossings easy for surfing as I'm 30 minutes from TJ. Started in 1966. What a paradise for decades until the cartels and rotten cops chased us back. We got shaken down so bad in Tecate that I stopped going after 2007. I miss the folks down there but looking over my shoulder for the cops constantly got old. Wonderful terrain and unbeatable citizens but I'm surrounded by lots of warm Mexican people right here in San Diego.

    What I've found is the 2 types are those who still wanna live life to the fullest, they stay active, and those who've given up, just get fatter and fatter and end up in a scooter not because of injuries, but because they're fat! As far as the border guard inspection thing, you really need to chill, you live in community, society, and there are rules, and sometimes they put you off for a few minutes or hours but really what's the big deal.

    Something I've heard a few other travel channels talk about is the smoking in Albania. Specifically in Tiranna and Durres. Cafe's being overrun and even walking by they felt like they had to hold their breath. Did you find the same issue with smoking? If so, is it ubiquitous across Albania or are some cities or parts of cities worse than others? Thanks for any experience you can share.

    Just throwing you another option as I'm looking as well and you seem like you appreciate similar things. Uruguay. Traveling with Kristin has a video called "10 Cheap Places To Retire Abroad (on Social Security)" and at the 16 minute mark is where she starts talking about Uruguay. She's also got two more lists of where to live for $1000/month with more suggestions. For me, Mexico, Albania, and Uruguay are top of the list right now.

    @IKFKSwitch 6 дней назад

    We were thinking about CR but you're not allowed to work. The options provided is stuff we either can't afford, (start a business and hire locals) or something we have no experience with (digital nomad). We want to become permanent residents to open up employment opportunities, but that takes five years. We just don't have a soluble enough income, and our skills match any resident there, so we have nothing of value to offer this country.

      @guvenuzumcu1500 8 дней назад

      @ It depends on the type of lifestyle you are seeking. Turkey is unique in terms of its climate and culture; you can find almost everything you’re looking for in one place. However, there are challenges, such as current inflation and currency instability. Additionally, obtaining a permanent visa can be difficult unless you purchase property or start a business. I have lived in several countries, including the United States and Canada, but ultimately, I chose to return to Turkey. I now live in Bodrum, which I believe is truly special. If I hadn’t moved back here, I would have likely settled in Athens, New York, or London. Lol I will check your video today! Take care of yourself!

    I think the people who consider full time cruising are the same people who have money but realized they don't have enough for a managed retirement village. For them, the activities on a cruise would be an upgrade and a potentially cheaper life. Also, I can't help but think that your cabin is every bit as big as the bus. There may not be as much room for your "stuff" but at least half the stuff in the bus you need because you are in a bus. If you get rid of all the bus life specific stuff, what are you left with? clothes, toiletries, and maybe a few things to pursue a hobby?
