I have never felt luckier to have Jamaican parents. Our family home is now my home. Canada turned its back on us hard working Canadians. Find your peace nomads. One love.
i wonder how many people will be like you and go back to their country of origin or their parents country of origin and leaving North America
Is this about Canada closing bank accounts for protesters?
@@pointerdogmarketing2197 I DOUBT that Jamaicans in Canada don't tend to be protesting...
Jamaica is amazing, been three times, all over. Prefer Surrey, mostly.
@@pointerdogmarketing2197that's major. And Canada will do it again, and Canadians will take it up ass WILLINGLY.
Lived in Canada all my life but since Trudeau took power more and more I feel this is not my home.
Combined with the conman in turban this could be rough.
I feel the same way
If you didn't have any issues with Harper and only with Trudeau, then I feel for you and may I also suggest you try Belarus😊
SO true.
Yes Trudeau has Yankees mouths hanging open at his authoritarianism.
I would definitely say Malaysia is one of the best countries to live in, the quality of life is amazing. Everyone speak English, everything is written in English. Great food weather and people and above all it's very affordable
If you are a loner and non drinker Malaya is great
@@ricosadao828 - have you tried clubbing (or at least a pub crawl) in KL before? It’s wilder than many US cities, and no shortage of drinking!
@@celtosaxon any advice
...and Malaysia just legalized Bitcoin.
...now Japan is going to legalize Bitcoin.
Malaysian here👋🤗 it's a good thing to know how much you appreciate to live here
"Niceness becomes important"
I love the practical, "overthinking" side of the Nomad Capitalist very much but it's his heart that keeps me coming back.
We need a new list. Places with no lockdowns and stress free.
I think, given the current issues like tyranny in certain countries, freedom should be the #1 consideration. I think about escaping from behind the iron curtain again (Australia, NZ, Canada any of these countries became a nightmare for freedom loving individuals)! I did escape once more than 30 years ago from eastern Europe, but I think the current tyranny is getting worse than the one I grew up under.
Yes exactly!! I’m Canadian and trying to figure out how to escape. Getting more and more difficult to even leave your own country, which is ridiculous. Don’t think Ireland would be on my list, even though it’s so beautiful there
I wouldn't say it's worse. If you truly look at it objectively. But it's no longer a shining beacon that we dream of escaping to, especially since the places we came from in eastern Europe have improved quite a lot, whereas Canada has just gotten worse and worse. Objectively Canada is still better, but will we be able to say that in 2030? At this rate, probably not. If you'd like to get out in the first wave and be early, then now is for sure the time. But you won't be trapped and doomed if you wait a few more years before making the jump. If you wait a decade then yes you will I personally think. But we still have time. And sure it could come sooner. But in my somewhat educated opinion, I think in the worst case we still have 3-5 years.
This has just changed this morning in NZ and AU is also making progress towards “normality” again…whilst Europe experience the usual COVID winter spike…so it really comes and goes but dont think NZ is going to have the same measures in place for much longer….and I dont think they are coming back with new systems implemented by end of next week
NZ needs a new leader, she is horrific
Funny how ppl complain about Russia yet never having travelled there. Russia has the opportunity and from an ecological and geological point of view to be the next big superpower if it plays its cards right, and I am not meaning with socialism.
I've got to say, we find the Portuguese 🇵🇹 very hospitable, warm and friendly.
Yes they are! We are there now.
true, im there right now for the first time
90%+ with the clot-shot, no thank you.
trying to get out from Portugal..less and less freedom, feeling like in the prison..
@ buy a train ticket or hire a car - or even just walk into Spain. Anymore problems?
I'm from Canada and I've been living on the road since 2013. I spent a year in Thailand, a year in Malaysia and a year in Vietnam but at the end of the day, Cambodia is the best. For the friendly poeple, the one year visa at 400$ (visa multi entrees) and a Cambodian bank account included (very convenient for local purchases). Beach life or Temple and rice fields life, you decide. Cheers nomads, keep it up :)
What would you say is your average cost of living per year? For general expenses like food, energy, rent etc. maybe discluding fancy expenses.
@@adamrhea2339 Per year: Less than 15k USD but some of my friends live pretty well with 10k less. I have a big apartment, im addicted to food delivery. Just these two things are 75% of the 15K. 😅 I dont drink, I dont really go out, if you drink and wants some nightlife experiences you should add 5 to 10K more per year. At this price higher cost including nightlife, its still a good deal for living like a king. Cellphone 5$ per month, scooter gas 15$, clothes 0$ since we just wear one pair of short and same t shirt all year long, its so hot and humide here 😅 Cheers!
Stability? Political and economic plus air quality are among major consideration for choosing your long term investment
@@adamrhea2339 very inexpensive lifestyle. It cost a fraction compared to the U.S. to live in Cambodia 🇰🇭
I lived in Colombia for 8 years. Had an absolute blast.
I'd like to see an update on easiest places to establish a second temporary residency (cost, time spent in country, etc.)
Thankyou for your advice Andrew. I 100% relate to "going where you are treated better" and having a plan B and we've done exactly this, thanks to your advice! :) But something about living a nomad life as opposed to actually finding a new place one can call "Home" has had me thinking. Especially when EVERYONE in the west esp. has this conception that being a nomad is the dream/goal i.e. I use to think this myself...I'm talking about people that live this life of moving from place to place, to these towns with strong communities of nice happy people that have fought for, who's family for generations has invested in and made nice with their hard work over many many years. The thing Ive realized is these places would never be like they are - somewhere we long for , want to live and gravitate towards....if they were made up of a group of nomads, renters and drifters, not really invested in that town and community...I'm not talking about if people such as yourself that invest in properties and actually build businesses that contributes to these local economies, communities & provide jobs etc. At what point do we all stop "running" and fight back with other like minded individuals to protect our families, community and say this is my new "home" , build strong institutions, a community to fight back? Whats to prevent the places we move to from turning into the very places we are all running from? If there's never any push back.... At some point we are going to have to think of this, because chaos will always come to where ever we may go...but that pushback won't happen if we are just atomized "individuals" (a dispora) with no place we call "home" or sence of community/belonging we have no incentive to protect, if we have no real "skin in the game" Some thoughts from a ex South African. Cheer Justin
Brilliant. My thought as well. Traveling is fun, but, where is Home. Where is your "place", your people?
Great comment, community is important, not because it's ready made, but because you're really part of it and invested in that.
Traveling is interesting & adventurous but where is home? The place I'm part of, make a commitment to care for & invest in friendships to build a network of mutual support. Being a gypsy doesn't seem too satisfying, even if I eat like a king & enjoy every luxury.
I wonder what South Africa would be like today if all those people that left South Africa had stayed and said NO, we're not leaving our home!
Great points about the value of living somewhere where you can easily banter. Learned that lesson recently.
I've been to Malaysia and Mexico , and Malaysia always feels like home for me. Love 🇲🇾
I have MM2H in Malyasia and planning getting some residency program in Mexico.. why you like Malaysia more than Mexico?
@@LiLi-lr5oy Malaysia is much more safer, English is widely spoken, it's per capita income is much higher, food is great, and it has a hub airport where you can reach many countries, close to all east asian countries etc.
I totally agree and confirm as regards Malaysia kindness and Ireland openness. I was impressed in Dublin as people were so nice to stop and give you precious info just seeing I look on details of a facade with faces that was a representation of Gulliver of Johnathan Swift. So authentic and joy for life and interaction in both places !
I think this is the cool thing about the Nomad Capitalist/Digital Nomad Lifestyle. Your Trifecta does not have to remain rigidly the same forever. You can make changes as you go along.
True.
One of your best videos because you added the"human" "social" need that most of your viewers need. Great video.
Andrew is a man who appreciates bespoke suits and tweed jackets. Ireland is the land of cable sweaters and scarves can be worn practically year 'round! I'd say this is a match made in heaven!
I’m just curious what Ireland’s COVID policies were during the height of the Pandemic?? 🤨
@@Jackiegee60 Wow!!! That sounds terrible!!! I had a feeling that Ireland 🇮🇪 is not all that great as a destination because nobody ever talks about it!!
I know people who love to vacation there and look up old Family roots, but other than that NO One really talks about it as being a viable place to live as an expat! 🤓
@@Jackiegee60 thanks for the reply Anne. Sorry to hear it though as I've always liked them. Is that new rule only among Dublin's fashionista's? I hope it doesn't apply to the real people out in the hinterlands. I guess as the saying goes, times, they are a changin'... I hope that even as Ireland experiences new-found prosperity, it does not forget where it came from.
Holy Hannah…. boil it down!
Bespoke suits? That's Savile Row, Mayfair, London, England.
Tell you where I’d go…Zihuatanejo, a little place in Mexico on the Pacific coast. Maybe fix up an old boat nobody wants and take the tourists out on fishing charters. They say there that the ocean has no memory. ( maybe I’ll keep an eye out for Andy Dufresne).
Love that movie!
I love my life here in Poland 🇵🇱. I also spent some quality time in Armenia 🇦🇲 and I love it there as well. And third for me would be Georgia 🇬🇪.
Wait wasn’t Georgia 🇬🇪 taken over by Russia??
Isn't Mexico dangerous?
Too cold in those places.
Very interesting Andrew! I’m European and have lived in Dublin for 5 Years and the People are great in many ways! I agree with what you said about Malaysia! I loved next door in Singapore for 2.5 years! Malaysian people and country so friendly!
Agree with you
Andrew, thank you! I love hearing you lay out these thoughts. I'd love to hear more about Ecuador and Argentina. How might one enjoy the pros and mitigate the cons of each? Who might they be a good fit for? What might their cultural political and economic futures be as they currently stand?
Thanks and many blessings!!
We live in Diani Beach, an easy ,laid back, inexpensive and friendly part of Kenya. Fantastic year round weather. It's great to be here. You have to live where you feel happy.
I've really enjoyed this video, especially since I'm a US expat/immigrant who chooses to live in Mexico. Why? Because they treat me well! I also lived in Argentina for a long time and was treated like a queen there.
That’s awesome! Welcome to Mexico 🇲🇽 enjoy your time here!
Great news Andrew! I share my time among London (I have a Londoner heart), Brazil (my foundation) and Asia. I love Asia and my partner is Malaysian but after many years of mental torture, I've realised that diversity is what makes me happy. I have been watching your channel for years and if you ever need some tips on London then let me know - would be an absolute pleasure to meet you and your lovely wife.. Just thought I'd throw out here as you never know. Cheers!
I love Brazil, beautiful culture, delicious food, nice weather and beautiful people. Great choice.
I am Brazilian.Thank you for the kind words
@@sterlingsimmons2212 I have to agree . I have experience with folks from Bahia and Minas Gerais .
Love the beaches , music , cuisine and laid back life style. They know how to have a good time .
The exchange rate is pretty good right now also !
I feel Ireland, is a great thought! I also am looking closely at Equador. NEVER thought of it, however, with more information it is even more appealing. I am a US citizen, and, do live in Indonesia due to marriage. I, personally, really love Singapore, but, I completely understand about what you are saying about Malaysia. Right now, it is all about having the opportunity to check out these countries, boots on the ground, as soon as there is the "all clear" to go over. Cannot wait!
Your insights regarding Ireland are much appreciated. It’s not a county I would have considered. Thank you.
Great video, important subject matter, and I thank you pointed out many essential things.
I visited Bulgaria for a short time and loved it. Many there have lived in England or are British so having fun, nuanced conversations is easy.
what I really like and recommend is Cyprus, because it is often quite beautiful, it's in the EU, it has ZERO taxes on capital gains if you do it right, almost everybody speaks English, they are like all Greek folks friendly to strangers ("philoxenia" has been the word for it, for around 2,000 years), the Cypriots also have a fantastic sense of humor, Cyprus is really close to Israel, and there are loads of flight connections from the EU, from Turkey, and from Israel. Really hard to beat if those criteria mean anything to you.
Don’t go to Cyprus people are small minded and don’t like foreigners, due to the British party youngsters. Locals only talk in their language and don’t like tourists. I was there.
@@alexandertraveler510 well as they say, the way you perceive many places is more indicative of one's own personality than of the destination.
NB I have never been to the prole-party destinations, so our perspectives surely differ.
They like their haircuts there too :-)
@@alexandertraveler510 that's a whole bunch of lies. Are you German?.
I like Cyprus too but on my first night there I was attacked in a nightclub by some local youths - I was on my own and minding my own business. Its not as safe as some think.
Thanks for a great video as always. I got a chuckle out of the 3 choices, as I live in Colombia (San Gil) and worked as a private contractor in Mexico (central Mexico as well as DF) Enjoyed your comments on both. Im off to Ecuador on another contract, so lets see what the vibe is.
Turkey, Malaysia, and Mexico
Im mexican, I agree we can all have things we dont like in our own countries. At the same time, its nice to see my country on the list. Im a hairstylist, work in the beauty industry... A lot of potential I hope one day to be able to live abroad like this!
Fully agree on Ireland, I grew up In England and now live in Australia but I’ve always felt very welcome in Ireland. The people have always been super friendly towards me.
Are you of English heritage or other? Are you more Celtic heritage, meaning Scottish, Irish, Welsh or Cornish? I've found most English to be very friendly, helpful, warm, etc.
@@markhirstwood4190
Hey mate, I’m English heritage and I reckon more Anglo Saxon than Celt but very likely a mix.
It's nice to hear your experiences thank you
I love your videos! Thank you for sharing your opinions with us.
I'm adding Ireland to my list in a big way after this. I've been traveling around quite a bit the last few years and have spent enough time in Colombia to eliminate it entirely from my perfect retire early country list based on one thing. The types and levels of crime cross the line of normal level crimes in the US. My wife is Colombian and we are very connected to her large family. You have a higher possibility of death by scopalamine or ruffied, robbery, random violence, violent street people, and petty theft. We have some of those same threats where I live in the USA. But it's that deeper knowing that the crimes are more severe and people we know have been victims (killed) changes your comfort level. Yes you can live there but always on the lookout for crimes and ripoffs.
That being said Medellin is much better than Bogota unless you like a more metro/business type environment and a chilly climate. Only very small parts of Bogota are acceptable to me. Colombia is full of garbage and that is 10x worse in Bogota. Stray dogs are everywhere and noise is everywhere. It's difficult to call clients with guys screaming outside to sell fruit. But the people in general are amazing and fun. Christmas in Colombia is so pretty and festive.
Medellin or outside Medellin is your best bet in Colombia. It's the most clean and modern part of Colombia with a great climate. That being said it's still not up to western standards, has increased risks and can get expensive. I would choose Medellin if I were single perhaps.
Last summer I went on an exploratory trip to Southern Turkey and Istanbul. As some of you may know, there is no better value than Turkey currently for home purchases and rents. Ocean view homes for $300 a month no joke. Turkey is completely independent from foreign production and produces everything itself and food is everywhere. With a generally dry and nice climate throughout the country its difficult to beat in terms of value and lifestyle. We met so many nice people and Turks are so proud of how they have modernized and become open to the world. Turkey is free of violent crime and theft and you feel very safe there.
A quick account of our trip to Turkey. Istanbul one if the world's most under rated and misunderstood cities is like new San Francisco, Rome and Dubai crunched together then sold at a discount. It's alive, fun, eccentric, crazy but very safe and cheap for a big city. Eating for $2 a breeze and the neighborhoods an endless maze of surprises. English widely spoken in the center, watch for rug salespeople.
If I were to do Istanbul I would choose an area outside the central areas but one known for something good such as clubs, parks, cafes, or restaurants. Beykoze or Goztepe come to mind.
Turquoise coast we liked Alanya (good for a relaxing beachside cheap lifestyle in more of a isolation with some expats around).
We liked Antalya, outside Antalya center, on the mountainside or outside the city would be a great inexpensive place if you want close to the coast with tons of adventures available plus a city and airport close by.
We drove all along the coast from Alanya to Bodrum and I could see most of it is too isolated and not a ton of housing options outside the main city areas. I had dreamed of finding a little town on the coast but most of what I saw was either too traditional or too touristy, with not much in the middle. Maybe outside Bodrum somewhere or Fetiye one could create/buy a nice little farm property close to the coast but out in the country and mountains. This area around Fetiye is full of food/fruit trees and veggies and looks lush like Central northern California. In fact with the pine and eucalyptus trees much of Southern Turkey reminded me of California 100 years ago.
Unfortunately I didn't go up to Izmir but I spoke to a Turk woman in Greece said the areas near Cesmi and Izmir offer the best of everything in Turkey and I could see that. Good varied climate, westernized part of Turkey close to the coast. Kusadasi, I've also heard good things about. But keep in mind that it's still cold/cool for swimming in these areas for a few months a year when you are north of Bodrum.
We went to Greece as more of a vacation and not to live but it definitely has potential for living cheap. Areas outside of Athens one could get an apartment for $200 per month and be near the coast. Peloponnese is full of empty coastlines and cheap little villages with a castle every few kms. But I find Greece's government to be too heavy handed. Turkey that wasn't as much of an issue, even in the middle of the pandemic.
So there were things I loved about Turkey but I keep it in a back pocket for now because it's a bit more far than I want to travel for now. And flights are not cheap especially for 4 or 5 people.
But I want to check out Ireland because it's close access to Europe, cheap flights to the US, English speaking, and character of the people is something that I miss tremendously when I'm in the United States.
Turkey is having a tough time now but definitely will be a jewel in the future.
Ireland is one of the most expensive places in the EU now.
Good Luck!
@@alwayslearning7672 I was wondering about that. Also looks cold and drab lol
@@alwayslearning7672 also it's getting woke very fast
@@mjhmn yes indeed. Expensive, woke, terrible weather, terrible financially if you get stuck in the tax net
I remember I met a couple of Irish guys on working holiday in Canada. I can say that all Irish are nice, but those 2 young fellas were super nice
I agree with you that Malaysian are pretty nice people and genuine, politics can sucks but the people ,don't have the mentality of creating trouble.
Seriously thinking about moving there. MM2H program or so.
@@agnestse4413 , moved to Spain or Portugal
Ireland is the home of my soul! Was blessed to live there in 2018/2019. I describe it just as you do ... I’m the best version of myself there! ☘️ We’re going back just as soon as I complete my citizenship by descent.
The Irish are the 2nd biggest US ethnic group, around 15%... Strange more don't go back, actually, after having become fairly wealthy or at least comfortable in the US over time. Most Americans are German, about 1/3 of the population.
I have done many travelling through Colombia and you are right Colombian are so polite, friendly and knowledgeable.
I agree. Si es cierto
The vibe is very important- if you don’t feel comfortable where you are, I don feel any amount of ‘it’s what you make of it’ changes the atmosphere. I’m currently in a state In Australia I haven’t lived in for 18 years and not only do people rarely smile here, they seem quite unsure about themselves, insecure and insular on the street and that vibe rubs off on others.
Yeah Australia is just a completely anti social culture. Unless you already know people, don't expect to have any social encounters in public places. The only exception is with older people who still have a bit of friendlyness in them, everyone else is just completely atomized.
well there is no reason to smile in Australia, thanks to your amazing government
@@123mandalore777 exactly right, after living in Spain I just can’t adapt back. Too white, too class-based, and all people tak about is home ownership
@@haych27 I know the UK has issues with class culture and I've noticed it when I've been over there, but I thought we didn't have it nearly as bad. As someone with an expats point of view, how bad are Australia's class issues?
@@123mandalore777 I'm an Aussie and it's probably not as bad as I complain about or compared to apparently the UK. I mean Aussie's more or less mix with people across socio-economic groups, but there are for sure different class groups based in suburbs and other areas of life. For eg, there's a north/south river class divide in many capital cities. People won't live in a certain suburb because it's not 'nice' when that most likely means it's poor and vice-versa. It's an involved topic. I guess what irritates me is if I want to go to a quality cafe/restaurant or a simple European bakery I have to go to a boring middle class suburb that doesn't have a diversity of people who are posturing about their wealth. That's not really the case in other countries or no-one cares where you eat. In Spain, a cafe is the same as the cafe two doors down. I'm just bored with Australia in general so ignore me and get out and travel as much as you can. :))
Going where people are nice is the number one reason for me looking to relocate. Andrew seems to be the only nomad channel to recognise this important factor.
I'd give you a credit to introduce me Colombia previously and now the Ireland. My best places to live are 1- Nanjing, China 2-Bali-Java Island in Indonesia, and 3- Karachi, Pakistan. I really like the vibe as well earning opportunities there. I hope I'll explore Colombia, Mexico, Ireland, and Serbia in near future.
Love this topic… yeah I get this .. Feeling welcome ..generous in spirit by your choice of territory is terribly important.. Portugal did it for me .. Mexico I would definitely consider ..
Originally from Moldova (Eastern Europe), have been living in Canada for 10 years, got the citizenship. Started the process for a Romanian citizenship last November, but it's very slow... Also thinking to get a Bulgarian passport. Fingers crossed it works out for everyone. Thank you Andrew for sharing!
I’m also a Romanian living in Canada for 30 years and I plan to leave in the next 2-3 years. Maybe share time between Portugal and Romania
Excellent talk, I really enjoyed listening to reasonings behind your choices.
very accurate view of people here. I have lived from Argentina to Mexico and this is good advice.
I am from Ireland but live in Cyprus! Still plan to go back one day because it's home! I think the people are the most welcoming in the entire world! But I am biased.
I’m from the US and one day I’d love to visit Ireland! ❤️
@@Valhalla_Heathen hi Daniel, yes everytime I have visited US people have been so friendly and all said they loved Irish people and/or had ancestors from Ireland. You should try to make it, you would love it but bring plenty of money😊😊
It depend on your ethnicity
People treat you differently depending on your race
Europe is nice but race is important
Asia is friendly but too humid
Mexico its not racist at all (we have a diferent tipe of racism)
Google it
Asia not friendly lol
These vloggers never consider race and ethnicity BUT it's the most defining basis on how people are treated. Being Whites, they're oblivious to how race and ethnicity plays in these countries.
@@beejay384 haha. True 😅
Great advice. Love the common sense approach.
Love this list!
I just fell in love with Tirana, Albania and the beach communities about a half hour to the West. The other places, I don't know. I'm still searching. I have spent part or all of three summers in Brest and while I like Belarus, I don't expect it to make the top 3. Somewhere in SEA might make the cut, but I don't know where. Dubai might make the list. I have lots of friends living there. One would not get bored. The Caribbean, but the countries are small. Latin America just isn't it for me. I have a suspicion that parts of Africa are on the verge of upscaling.
Jim Rogers said once when no one is looking at a nation that has the right kind of framework in place, that is the time to get into such country. I too believe there are several countries in Africa that should not be ignored.
I part live in Morocco which is stable and the South on the verge of an investment boom. Other people like Angola
Hi Andrew, I just read an article about immigration to Finland. It talks about anyone who legally stays in Finland for 5 yrs could apply for immigration. the straight way is to obtain a work permit, for which the local employer doesn't need to go through a Labour Market Impact Assessment like many other countries. Have u heard of it? Thx.
Thanks so much! Just a question, Have you been to N. Ireland? Any thoughts?
More on Ireland and the differences between the benefits for citizens vs non-citizens would be interesting
I did not travel a lot but I found the service and local people in Hawaii very polite & helpful, I was very well treated at the Honolulu International Airport. The Hawaiian 🌺 Airlines I mean the crew was very friendly. Visited Bali 4 times I will say very very friendly people. Locals on the island Crete are very friendly too.
My mom retired in Salinas Ecuador and loves it. I've been down there several times and even owned an apartment there. I love it as well but would rather live in Montanita. People are friendly and on the US dollar but still under developed a lot.
Is she part of an expat community?
@@rozannaedwro934 yes she is. She has a group of Americans and Canadians she hangs out with.
This eyebrow dance is fantastic!
❤️
Great video. Keep up the great work, Sir 👏👏👏
So right on Colombia, my wife is Colombian and they are so nice.
Happy to see Ireland on the list. I visited there in '88 for Dublin's 1000 year anniversary on St. Patrick's day and traveled the countryside some. This is one of my fondest memories.
It's a totally different place now! You'd be shocked.
@@alwayslearning7672 Exactly this!
I would love to hear a little bit more about the opportunities in Ireland! I think discussing citizenship by decent options, considering the amount of people in legacy countries with Irish heritage is rather sizable, would be very interesting.
If either of your grandparents were native Irish you can get an Irish passport ,as far as i know.
Excellent video and great timestamps for quick reference 👍
I lived in Malaysia for a short time. Great place 👌
Love your choices. I moved back to Ireland after 26 years abroad and it has changed so much for the better in that period. Well run, efficient and good people. It’s not paradise and property in the cities is expensive and hard to get but if you cal live rurally and work from home it is beautiful. Good educational and healthcare system although the locals who have not experienced anything different continually complain but that is an Irish characteristic that keeps things improving. Weather isn’t as bad as people think…no crazy extremes and it’s never too cold. Above all it’s a relatively safe place to live.
Mass immigration is destroying Ireland
Great videos in your channel. I'm a colombian student in Australia, this is a safe, rich and modern country. Nonetheless, What you said about Latino America is true about the weather, the food and niceness of the people where you can live with happiness is priceless. Kudos for your content and information.
hola where in Australia are you?
You are absolutely right Niceness is important!
I'd go with Mexico and Russia because they're big diverse countries you don't feel stuck in. And Ireland for the English aspect also.
Colombia is truly a place filled with kind people, especially if you make an effort to form real connections outside of tourist areas. The food is fantastic, going to Colombia and establishing a deep connection there changed my life forever. However, they don’t take kindly to “not trying” to speak Spanish or participate in their culture. I go to slums if I’m invited, there is an obvious expectation to involve yourself in their world. If you do, it’s magical. If you don’t, you might want to go to Mexico and be a gringo expat.
I’d love to hear more of your experiences/incentives in Ireland.. 🥰🥰
We moved out of Australia and to Dubai.. we are loving it here!!
But I do understand what your saying in regards to “a slice of culture where your from”...
Mrs H and the sorry’s.. I find England is a lot like this too.. very friendly and familiar 😍😍
You are right on point about Ireland. I’ve felt the same way when I’ve traveled there.
Colombia hands down. I was massively disappointed by Dublin.
Dublin has a problem with junkies ever since they moved the treatment clinics into the city center. However as an Irishman I would say that Dublin is not reflective of Ireland, if you want to see the real Irish welcome, you need to go to cities such as Galway or Cork and indeed smaller towns. As a rule I avoid Dublin.
I would love to hear more about Ireland.
There are many videos on YT that will give you some idea of how it is .Its a place you will either love or hate .
@@anthonydowling3356 who hates Ireland???
The Power Of Three. Objectivity and nice 👌👍 in step with and upbeat.
Agree about Colombia, though driving in Cali is an extreme sport and a taxi journey is full on scary Red Bull activity
Colombians go to Mexico and no the other way around, there's more than one reason for that.
I'm Irish by Ancestry, but was born, and grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. When I visited Ireland in 1993 I found the menus to be very small with nearly no diversity in restaurants, the water pressure in the shower low at multiple places, and just winter like weather alot? I probably didn't explore throughly, but pretty much churches, and pubs? However i realize time has changed along with the economy? I love to drive, and ride motorcycles, and I would imagine that would be too expensive over there for someone like me who isn't a 7 or 8 figure business person?
Ireland is a shithole. Your US driving licence is not recognized here, It takes a couple of years to get a full licence! it's a nightmare to get any motor insurance. You would pay 7-10K euro for basic cover as you would be treated as a beginner, regardless of how long you've been driving. The roads and car users are shit and dangerous for motorcycles. Stay away!! I came back 10 years ago and can't wait to get the fuck out of here. I'm going to Portugal!
@@pauloshea3741 Yea, I figure just about anywhere in Europe one needs to take a college class, and pass the Bar Exam to get licensed. However I had no problem renting a car?
@@pauloshea3741 no idea how you can say Ireland is a shit-hole in comparison to Portugal, especially with reference to the roads. Irish roads were miles ahead of Portugal with regards to EU money developing them. As a kid in the 90s the roads were transformed and amazing in Ireland. Having a house in Portugal even 10 years ago many, many roads were still completely unpaved. A road that I had a house on probably served 100 houses and I believe it's still not entirely paved today. This is common in Portugal and even in the Algarve which is supposedly more affluent. That is unheard of now in Ireland..
Thanks for all the knowledge, When you get back to Colombia go check this resort area called Guatape, its just east of Medellin. Let me know if you make it there show us...
🇮🇪 been twice - could live there. Kindest people, down to earth, fun, beautiful culture and place!
Colombia is my favorite country in the world. The combination of the natural beauty and the kindness, happiness and fun loving nature of the people is uncomparable.
I've traveled and worked in more than 65 countries on all continents, I speak 4 languages and my favorite by far, is Japan, The worst? Gulf countries. The most boring? Anglo-Saxon countries. Big fan of Latin countries, Eastern Europe, and East Asia in general.
I love living in the Gulf!
I enjoyed living in Qatar
Great list! Thanks
Great insights for a comfortable, satisfying existence; what it is and where to get it!
I'm Irish, thanks for the kind words.
My picks for now would be:
Ireland
Portugal
Argentina
Native Londoner: cannot go anywhere north or west of it in the British Isles ( unless cost of living was considerably cheaper & better weather).
Irish born relative ( an entrepreneur) wouldn't move back there : costs & he has a personal reason, for which I'm not going to disparage a whole nation- not my fight & I've enjoyed the acquaintance of its inhabitants ( outside of the island).
I can't wait to return to Hispanic America though.
Hi Andrew,
Great content!
I have just subscribed to your channel and I'm trying go through your past videos.
What are your thoughts on having an european citizenship and living in Andorra and/or San Marino today?
Also, for eastern Europe, what about Estonia?
Thank you!
andrew, I would love to see instead of just one option,your top 3 options for Asia Europe and Latin America. And why. Just to give a little more variety to each continent
Absolutely do more on Ireland. Culture and language hold people back from leaving their legacy brand English speaking countries. But if there's a viable option in that category, your audience wants to know.
Ireland is an English speaking country, and there culture is extremely close to Britain’s.
Lol, I just recently watched that video and practically learned it by heart. Great to watch an update on that! Thanks Andrew 🤗
Great overview!
Its novel to be "different" in another country ; experience other cultures - for a while - I call that a vacation. What is friendliness but hospitality - they make you feel at home? I love home- it is family, friends , the cottage on the lake. I like to have a church nearby too. Sounds boring - actually is pretty sweet. I imagine you can be happy anywhere so long as you are with loved ones and not having to run for cover and look over your shoulder.
I have been living in Ireland for 21 years, still loving it! 💙😀
I wouldn't have had a problem with Ireland until Coronavirus scamdemic, it's brutal how compliant everyone has become.
N. Ireland, England, Europe aren't brilliant either but Ireland is like a Mask Wearing Covid19 Compliance Zombie Apocalypse.
Ireland's Elite serving puppet
politicians are threatening to lock down the country again for Christmas 2021 so the globalists can destroy more businesses and put the country in even more debt.
I have £3000 to my name and won't be going anywhere, I enjoy Andrews channel and I wish everyone well that has made it in life to the point where they need his services, it's my ambition do to the same.
But in the meantime I think everyone who believes in freedom, rich or poor, has bigger problems.
IMO globalists are using Coronavirus to get to digital ID and wallet, then they can switch your whole life on and off anywhere on earth for any reason at any time.
Don't have the appropriate political opinion, they switch you off.
Like eating burgers, pizza, real meat, you're not being a good citizen, CCP style social credits deducted, you must eat locust burger.
If people don't stand up, we are heading to digital ID enslavement and control.
@@nh5317 Dead right.
Where in Ireland? My partner and I are moving there in a week :)
Thailand, the culture, by and large people are very nice
Good info
Your story about asking for some bottled water in London really resonated with me...the waiter did what was easiest for him, instead of what you asked for! From my visits in 2017 and 2018 to the UK, including London, the restaurant service in most places I ate was wanting...I think the difference is the lack of a tipping culture in the UK as opposed to in the USA...there''s little to no incentive for wait staff to give outstanding service to a customer when their wage was nearly all their compensation.
I'm from England and have to say the Irish are a great bunch. I would also say that the North of England is totally different to the South in terms of friendliness in my experience.
I am from Bulgaria and I think that the British isles culture is THE BEST in Europe. Ireland and UK are the BEST for business and the culture is really friendly. We Bulgarians, like all other slavs, some more, some little, but generally we are VERY RUDE PEOPLE. That is the reason I make ANYTHING possible to learn the English language, to build my small business and to GET OUT from this Balkan/Slavic area.
Craggy Island perhaps then
@@niks1na That's cool man. Glad you like the British Isles and good luck on your journey.
Yeap that is very true , it is like that in every country
@@nickhowden686thank you and God bless you. I LOVE British isles, I LOVE British culture and history. For me USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are weak copies of the British original, despite their huge natural resources. British civilization for me is the highest possible human civilization. I am maybe highly idealistic, but I trully believe in this. And before I forget - British isles are with the BEST possible position from ALL english speaking countries. They - especially England, - are 40 km from Europe, Eurasia in greater sence. Islands, but so close and PART of the OLD WORLD. ALL others anglosaxon states are islands - continental size (without NZ) but in OCEANS away from the real world - and the real world is OLD world, not new world. New world have some exotic, but the centre of the world is in...Greenwich, literally.
Elephant in the room for me is, which country is more free - where is there less C and V loonesy and tyranny going on ?
Istanbul is hard to beat right now. It's free, no mandates and it's cheap.
Yes same for me!!
Italy is on my list. I recently bought a small one-bedroom apartment there. I have to say that every time I'm there, even if it is just for a day or two and I interact with the neighbours or the people at the local pizza joint or the gelateria, or the mum-and-pop supermarket in the village I get this happy energy that keeps me in a good mood for days or even weeks to come.
I like how you show videos of the destinations.
