Slow Travel Chronicles
США
Добавлен 29 май 2021
At age 50 we left our jobs, sold most of our belongings, and decided to follow our dream of international travel for seven to nine months a year. Our goal is not to visit the most countries or see the most sites in a short amount of time, but to spend several months in each county that we visit, becoming immersed in the local area. When not traveling internationally, we hope to spend time visiting various beaches, cities, and national parks across the United States.
We will show not only where we are going and what we are doing, but also provide practical advice on how to travel and explore on a reasonable budget in a relaxed and leisurely manner.
Follow along as we figure out how to navigate our early retirement and semi-nomadic life.

Fabulous
Hello,Thanks~ good trip-🤞
Thanks! I appreciate you watching!
Most Airbnbs we've stayed in have been okay but there are always things that are not quite right. Sometimes it's such a big price difference to stay in an Airbnbs compared to hotels for long stays so we end up staying in them.
We appreciate the extra space most of all. Thanks for watching.
I spent hours trying to figure this out and failed, this video is amazing!!!
Glad we were able to help. Thanks for watching.
I dislike many Airbnb s because everything seems to come from Goodwill. The location makes a difference.
We have had okay experiences overall. It works best for us because we are usually in it for a month. Thanks for watching.
We love browsing through antique/flea markets but try not to buy anything since we're trying to downsize. So tempting at times!🤣
We have no room since we downsized although I would probably make space for the perfect piece. Thanks for watching.
Funny how I’m watching this just coming back from this hotel. View is everything we were in the 14rh floor oceanfront. But cockroaches 🪳 everywhere. The breakfast sucks for $300 a night stay. The ceilings are super low and narrow hallways and narrow parking garage. Elevators aren’t marked North or South. Will definitely stay closer towards boardwalk if ever we visit again.
Sorry you had cockroaches. We were lucky and didn’t have that problem. I hope your next trip is better. Thanks for watching!
My kind of hike.
Mostly flat was a bonus. Thanks for watching.
Such a gorgeous area...beautiful footage!
Very gorgeous. Thanks for watching!
We stayed near the Promenade in Nice and have fond memories of walking in the moonlight....
I loved the city! I could live there I think!
I could feel the bitter taste from Stephanie's face.
Haha! Thanks for watching.
Omg that is cheap ! You stayed in a beautiful place . Ate like crazy, had private pool ! If it was hotter you would have felt different . ❤thanks for the honesty and real . You plane was beautiful ! ❤
We loved our place. It was affordable and super safe. Thanks for watching.
Omg how can you not be into Mayan culture ! It’s so amazing and beautiful ❤
It is amazing and beautiful. We had recently done other visits to Mayan ruins. Thanks for watching.
Amazing views on an iffy walkway. Oreos!
We really enjoyed the hike! Thanks for watching.
_Your coastal walk is breathtaking journey through nature's beauty. Your video captures the magic of French Riviera, inspiring viewers to connect with outdoors and find peacs within themselves._
Thank you for the kind words and for watching.
Thanks for watching. Silly I know.
Very typical review from a very gringo perspective, ESPECIALLY of the Deliverance variety. I suppose compared to a podunk town like Memphis, Merida might not be as cheap (or they just took advantage of clueless gringos, but trust me when I tell you Merida is cheaper, cleaner and safer than New York...
Interesting perspective. I would expect it to be significantly cheaper than NYC. Safer than Memphis too. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for your excellent video. I'm a tad confused though. The title of your video says "Carry On Only Packing Video" Surely you will be overweight for carry on only? Won't the big bag need to be checked in? What am I missing? 🧐
It is not overweight. I think it weighs 23lbs. It is the largest carry-on that meets US standards. Twice in Europe the made us check, that was Ryanair and Lufthansa. Other US and European carriers have had no problem with it. We are trying to call smaller before we head to Asia next year. It will be too big there. Thanks for watching.
cannot see your 'costs' because you have a suggested video plastered right over the video. Doesn't really help since you were using points instead of paying cash.
Thanks for telling me. I will see if I can fix the view. We normally don’t use points except for 1 off hotel rooms. Normal price is $550/night per couple. That’s why I need the points. Thanks for watching.
Nice... and helpful. Great idea about the fire proof bag - had not thought of that. Thanks for sharing!
We figured the fire proof bag is easy to grab and run in a hurry. Thanks for watching.
Those are some full bags.
We are going to SE Asia in 2025 and are hoping we can go to a smaller suitcase! Fingers crossed. Thanks for watching.
@@SlowTravelChronicles Now that is exciting.
If you want well maintained sidewalks try Morelia or Queretaro..
Good to know. Thanks for watching.
You missed out 😮
He did!
Should have had the spring roll There the best 😊
His loss is my gain! I had 2. Thanks for watching.
People think the South in the US is not cold, but Jan Feb is usually cold because of the humidity. Even here in SWFL it gets pretty cool in Jan Feb although not as cold as it gets in NWFL where I was born and raised. I spent 10 days in Panama in 2021 and I loved it because of the peaceful feeling. No fast pace, no politics, no loud people racing around. Boredom is a thing that keeps me from doing it long term. I am a homebody and like to mostly stay home, putter around in the yard, the pool, cook or watch YT. So you say the pool was too cold? Wow I was under the impression that it was HOT there... Thanks for that comment. Over 4k for 28 days? wow. Sounds like a big no. I want to go where my total budget for a month is less than 2k.
In hindsight I would have skipped the pool to bring our overall cost down. Lesson learned! We are currently in SWFL enjoying the sun and a pool! Thanks for watching!
thanks for your honest review
Thanks for watching!
Always enjoy your honest reviews and appreciate the points you choose to nightlight ... those are important to us too!
Thanks for watching. We know people who love it there. There is beauty in every city. Fortunately we all don’t like the same places or it would be even more crowded!!
We spent 7 months housesitting in Merida back in 2015, and I agree with what you said - it isn't necessarily a great tourist town for more than a few days (most of the great things to do are several hours away), but it is a terrific place to live. We stayed in the north east of the Centro and I would love to go back. And if you want to use the pool, go in the summertime, it gets VERY HOT and the pool will be much more useful then! lol
Thanks for watching. If there is a next time we will go when it is warmer for sure.
Did this apartment have air conditioning? Was it warm?
This apartment didn’t have air conditioning. There wasn’t a need at all. If we were hot we opened the door and closed it if we were cold. Thanks for watching.
Those are some dangerous sidewalks.
I am a klutz too so not a good combination! Thanks for watching.
OMG those tacos looked sooooooo goooooood. We need to get back to Merida, we walked past that art museum so many times and never went in.
We rarely pass a museum. Thanks for watching.
_Love the vibe in Merida for valentine's Day! So much joy and cultural energy - a beautiful reminder that love is universal. Let's spread that magic!_
Merida has a great vibe! Thanks for watching.
Lol on the extra beers. It does get hot there.
Hot it was. Plus I like beer. Win! Thanks for watching.
This is my favorite hotel in Myrtle Beach I remember when it didn't have a Walmart close by ❤❤
We were able to walk there which was fabulous! Thanks for watching! Love your channel/youtube name!
Did you have a car? We will want to do some of the downtown stuff. Wondering if we should stay closer so we can walk or rent a car
@@aimeemunshaw8982 we did have a car. We did use it to check out a restaurant that was further out. Otherwise we walked. Thanks for watching.
They do love their drums.
They do. Thanks for watching.
Hello! I came over to sub!!👋
Thank you so much. I found your channel today and subscribed.
It may have been your most costly place to date but I think a good value, all things considered! Groceries not bad either:)
It was nice over all. We never got into the pool because it was too cold. Thanks for watching.
Omg that sounded awful. I’m glad you made it home. Good tip to check weather and change connection city. Thank you for sharing.
It was a comedy of errors! Thanks for watching.
Have you been to Glasgow
We haven’t been there yet but it is on our list. Thanks for watching.
Not yet but it is on our list. Thanks for watching.
Oh no!!! I guess hiccups are inevitable for long term travelers, but that still doesn't make them fun. Still, sounds like you kept a clear head and didn't let it get to you - that is a great skill to have! Glad y'all made it home safe
Hiccups are inevitable. We laughed during the traffic stop because it was a comedy of errors! Thanks for watching.
United Airlines sends updates for each piece of luggage checked.
We didn’t get a notification on this trip. Good to know about the technology! Thanks for watching.
I watched this on the plane lol! Today Air Canada did a cool new thing and I received a text message for each piece of luggage with a tracker. Do US airports do this now as well?
We didn’t get a notification for our luggage. That said, I don’t know if it was because we checked at the gate or American Airlines doesn’t offer it. Safe travels home. Thanks for watching.
So sorry all of this happened to you guys! There’s so many things that can go awry when traveling. And when things do go wrong, it just feels like one thing after another. Glad you made it back safe!
We had it better than other people. Thanks for watching!
Wow! That sucks. I feel for you although it does sound equivalent to our trips back to OZ. Ha ha
It goes with the territory. I am surprised we had no major issues before now. Thanks for watching.
Have fun in Merida. A favorite of ours.
Thanks! We liked it well enough. Met great people there which was the best part for us. Thanks for watching.
The hotel looks so grand! So nice they gave you free cake. It's the little touches like that make you appreciate a place.
It was a splurge but definitely worth it. Thanks for watching!
$417 in groceries for a month? How do you even do that?
We aren’t very fancy eaters. Usually we have tacos, baked chicken, hamburgers or pasta. Usually the Airbnb doesn’t have spices or the best equipment so we eat very basic meals. Thanks for watching.
Hopefully the owners of your Prague AirBnB will take your comments on board and look at their place with fresh eyes. So often we stop seeing things that we are used to.
That is a great point. I think hosts should either spend a week in their rental or hire someone to do an honest critique. Or Airbnb could have a legitimate quality assurance program. I have ideas for that… thanks for watching.
_Cool and interesting video with incredibly informative narration. Thanks for sharing._ _Greeting from Indonesia._ |🇮🇩
Thanks for the kind words. Thanks for watching.
So does the month long card work on the bus etc???
Yes. You can use it on the bus. Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoy your trip.
