Thanks Kristin🤗 Your videos are so well done and so fun!! 🎉🌞 You make the destinations so desirable and almost like we know the ins snd outs like we were there ourselves. GREAT WORK and Be Well🙏🌺
Over the last 7 years living abroad and working remotely; my favorites have been Merida, Oaxaca & Puerto Vallarta Mx Medellin Colombia, Porto Portugal, Taipei Taiwan, Da Nang Vietnam, and Valencia Spain. These places were really interesting/stimulating environments, had some DN presence, decent internet and were less expensive than the US. I'd like to check out Eastern Europe next; Bulgaria and Poland seem intriguing.
No one will trouble you if you spend more than 90 days in Bulgaria. We do not make a problem for honorable citizens. We respect the good people here Thanks for the nice words about my beautiful country
If your work is paid in dollars, the most convenient country is Argentina ( Buenos Aires city ) , due to the currency exchange, and the technological resources available, as well as being is the least expensive country in the region. Many expats are living here and living like royalty. Beside Buenos Aires is a very european capital city with many cultural atractions.
Living in a secure place, have a car, etc. in Bs. As. is not cheapper than something similar in many European countries. What you name living like royalty, for an American or European is middle class. Eaten out is cheapper, but buying whatever imported thing is much more expensive than in Europe or America, that it is why middle class go to make shopping to Miami.
I liked Costa Rica, but I found the Republic of Panamá to be significantly more modern and safer with a large American Expat community and no visa nonsense to deal with (plus most people speak English). I love Panamá City.
I'd like to recommend you add a blip on language in each place. As someone who has been a nomad, since before there was a "digital", I think one of the most respectful things a world traveler, nomad, etc. can do is to learn a few things about the local language and customs (including religious ceremonies). When I listen to you talk, it's very sweet sounding, but I don't hear you reminding people to be interested in the language and the local customs. They don’t have to be full-time expats to take into consideration local language, and I believe yur digital nomads would be surprised how many doors local language opens. Basically, put some energy BACK INTO wherever you visit. This year makes 35 years I've been a nomad....there's no better life.
Thanks Leahcar! The nomadic life is wonderful, indeed. This was one of my first RUclips videos so I think I’ve covered language and culture more in more recent ones, but I’ll make sure to add that to future videos! I only speak Spanish and English, but it is helpful to know the local language and try to integrate with local culture wherever you go 😊
Poland is one of my favorites! 2 years there with my Polish ex-husband, then off and on as a digital nomad since then. Gorgeous cities and mountains plus excellent vegan food make it a great spot. Huge fan of Bulgaria too. Costa Rica was lovely but just had far too many Americans there for me to enjoy it. Holland is biking heaven with super friendly people, but I missed the mountains there.
@@TravelingwithKristin of the countries you listed, I’m really dying to stay in Portugal for a while. I’m sad I’ve only had a few days rather than years there.
Thank you for a very educational tour! This is all very helpful information. I would think that climate needs to be your list of requirements. I know that my frame of mind is very largely driven by what the weather is doing. A place that is too hot, or too cold or too gray or too rainy would be awful for me even if it was safe, cheap, had great food and fast Internet. The in-and-out of Schengen thing is an interesting driver. Ignoring climate for the moment, could an American just alternate three months in Poland with three months in Bulgaria and thereby legally stay in Europe “forever”?
Great recommendation, Tad! I will add that to my next destination video! At some point you would need to leave Europe but it depends on who's stamping your passport ;) For more check out my Schengen video! ruclips.net/video/PaqdzdQnhr0/видео.html
Hey Kristin, my name is Adriana. It's nice to meet a fellow RUclipsr. ❤️ Bulgaria is also one of my favorite countries! I'm actually in Varna right now. Quick question for you, what did you think of the safety in Playa del Carmen?😊
Hi Adriana! I love Playa del Carmen and have always felt safe there, although I haven't been in about 5 years. I think 2015 was the last time, so I'm not sure if it's changed. My sister is there now on vacation and she's loving it! This was the last video I made on Playa: ruclips.net/video/NwSzx9e4r84/видео.html
switzerland is beautiful but expensive... Nice place to visit but cost make it a no go for me. The Netherlands or Bulgaria would be my choices if I ever move back. I lived in Germany, and my only gripe about poland is how depressed it seems everywhere.
@@goldvideo Brazil is a huge country, it’s impossible to generalize. Kristin made videos in Buenos Aires, is not different of São Paulo. In Brazil the main safety problem is Rio de Janeiro. Obviously, Brazil cannot be compared with Europe.
Hi I love how you are travelling and describing your experience,I am travelling as well as a vloger and experienced same situation like changing countries,which is discomfort connected with it. I have been in Bulgaria and I agree 👍💯😌is Really good to stay there but then have to change other countries:/
@@TravelingwithKristin Do you think some of Asian countries may not be as welcoming to non white and people who look different? I know Amsterdam is nice but I am trying to stay away from Western countries.
I would add climate/weather and language as two extra criteria. Obviously visa policy and travel access is a critical topic, but increasingly hard to track in the current ever-changing _situation._ Many people will not like winters in Bulgaria (except the skiers :), Poland, Netherlands or Canada (as you mentioned). There is an interesting list of places that have _'eternal spring',_ meaning a temperate year-round climate, sometimes operating as _hill-station_ retreats for the summer months in hot countries: Medellin or Bogota (Colombia), Dalat or Sa Pa (Vietnam), Kunming (China), Ella (Sri Lanka), Ooty or Simla (India) and Cameron Highlands (Malaysia). For a native monoglot English speaker, or other westerner with English as a second language, the prevalence and quality of English will be important to you. Tourist destinations usually have more local English speakers, but with the downside of congestion, noise and higher costs for accommodation, food and other services. For example, in the Philippines, English is common, and often spoken at a high level. Former British colonies usually have more spoken English, obviously Hong Kong and Singapore, but also often-overlooked Malaysia (consider KL, Penang, Malacca or Langkawi) and Sri Lanka. Many Americans and western Europeans speak some Spanish, or can pick it up quickly, so central and south America are easier than, say, Vietnam or Cambodia. One gem that is often ignored by digital nomads is Sri Lanka. It has low cost of living, great beaches, surfing, wildlife, forests, waterfalls, historic towns (e.g. Galle) and Victorian hill stations for the summers. The majority culture in the south is Buddhist, so it has the same friendliness and generosity found in Thailand.
Hey there I sooo love your videos! I’d love to see one on families we have 2 teenagers and are seriously considering going to the digital nomad lifestyle
Hi there! Glad you love my videos, you can check out this interview I did: www.badassdigitalnomads.com/leaving-corporate-america-to-become-a-full-time-traveling-family-world-towning-part-1/
It’s so crazy you said Bulgaria since that is where I have been planning to go since the beginning. I gravitated towards it because of its proximity to all the countries I want to visit. Do you still live there and what are the winters like? Could you do a video on digital nomad destinations in Europe that are pretty much warm weather year-round? No real winter weather. I have struggled to find a video covering that topic.
Bulgaria is great! I am not currently living there but I had a great time. You can check out my videos on Bulgaria here: ruclips.net/video/L_w28W1_4PY/видео.html Also I did a video on Cheapest Places to Live in EUROPE if this could help: ruclips.net/video/KrJJM2ELakQ/видео.html
Curious what your client thought of Sarnia :P For Canada's smaller cities, I'd recommend Kelowna, Halifax, or Victoria. I'd avoid small towns, unless you go to a tourist destination like Tofino, Whistler, Revelstoke, or Niagara. For small towns/cities in Ontario with few int'l travelers, but good lifestyle, I'd recommend Collingwood or Kingston.
Being from Michigan, basically Detroit,bi don't see the allure of Windsor, or Sarnia, but agree that Canada had many beautiful locations. Getting around without a vehicle seems harder there though than anywhere else on your list.
Hi Kristin! Have you ever been in Romania? I don't know why it's almost never mentoned when talking about digital nomading, since internet there is one of the fastest in the world too. And it's got nice cities as well.
Serbia and Montenegro have a lot to offer. Many people come to Serbia to visit dentists because they cannot oay dentists in their countries. Internet is better than 10 years ago. I have much better internet now than in 2009.
Depending where you stay. Costa Rica is well known for many and I mean many micro climates where temperature and also humidity changes. Beach places are hot and humid, yet as short as 15min drive up the mountain climate gets cooler. If you really want to be in tropics and escape the heat central valley would be the place to be. Hope this helps
Agree with Rasto; CR has some of the highest rated climates in the world for comfort. However, some of the beaches are hot and humid. In Thailand it's the whole country, however ;)
Hi Bri! What type of work do you do now or have experience with? You can browse remote jobs on sites like Weworkremotely, or also create your own digital nomad job, like in this video: ruclips.net/video/tuXRmg8cBTI/видео.html Should I do a video about all the digital nomad jobs?

I have never had a traditional 9-5 job, but it's important to base yourself in a timezone where you can work effectively during your peak hours. I like working in the EU time zone with clients who are in North America so I can have slow mornings and work in the afternoons.

90 days inside Schengen and then 90 days outside Schengen...and then one should be able to enter agaian, not? Krstin says; 90+90+90...; SChengen; Bulgaria and then GB...as I understand the regulation it is 90 days IN and then minmum 90 OUT ...and they one can enter again, not?
After thirty years driving around Europe as a professional truck driver I have witnessed far too many accidents and the consequences for the unprepared..some years ago I wrote a guide that the Police & insurance companies accept as evidence..it also contains the telephone numbers for all emergency services...why did zip write this guide? because of the amount of time I spent dealing with the Police & Enforcement agencies..few people realise that if you are involved in an accident outside your home means you won't be leaving there anytime soon..
One question.... . I'd like to enter Canada as I'm a freelancer and I'd like to keep my current job even when living in Canada. I wil not going to have any Canadian clients, and all the salary from my work would be stored in an Italian bank account. The idea is then to spend it in Canada directly from my account through services like Revolut. Is this allowed? Can I enter as an Italian tourist and stay in Canada up to 6 months with ETA?
Hi Cristina, You can check out this link for more updated information on staying as an Italian tourist in Canada www.canadaonlinevisa.com/eta-requirements/italian-citizens/#:~:text=Whether%20for%20business%20or%20pleasure,authorization%20before%20entering%20the%20country.
US have a very strict policy when you live abroad and your obligation to still pay taxes in the US, maybe not income from work, but for company, capitaltaxes. Europe countries; you can remain a citizen and just have have no serious connections to your country; owning property, bankaccounts, business, if dont have these and dont spend more than 60-90days in a European country, you daont hav to pay taxes in your orginial homecountry. So living as a Nomad , where do you hav your base, your home. The company is easliy to register in a taxhaven, but as a person it is much more difficult, but some countris nowadays offer special work and entrepreneur visas; Estonia, georgia, malaysia, Paraguay, Romania, and for sure many more that want and need high skilled foreigners and has a strategy for that. The only negative for a Scandinavian of middlegae is that health care insurance must be payed , living at home , it was covered but taxes , aying only symbolicly.
@@TravelingwithKristin Thanks for all you do and for the beauty and elegance with which you do it. More people should think of being a DN. When I was a child, I read a classic book call The Battle for Investment Survival, by G. M. Loeb. The author recommended that every investor have a place in mind to move to if things in the US get really bad.
Huatulco Mexico! I know this is an older video but I think the topic still applies. I'm at the Best Western hotel and they have super fast internet at their #GoldenCircleCoworking and throughout the hotel.
You might also consider Cebu, PH. The cost of living is low, it's fairly modern, nice people, and the visa situation is way more friendly than in Thailand.
@@TravelingwithKristin I was there from Jan-June of this year and loved it. The internet seemed fine for my purposes, though I don't upload large videos like you do for your work. I hope that they open the border to foreigners again soon.
Lol Windsor and Sarnia in Canada suck. Canada is becoming one of the most expensive places on earth, if you want to waste all your money come here. My fav city that isn't as expensive as others is Montreal. Toronto/Vancouver and Baff/Jasper park would be good spots to stay for a bit but are expensive, don't forget Ottawa for a short stop also.
Yes it is! You might want to listen to an interview I did with Carrie McKeegan, Traveling and living abroad with 3 kids: www.travelingwithkristin.com/digital-nomad-podcast/moving-overseas-with-3-kids
I really really like Chiang Mai myself. Haven't had the greatest luck with Bali. I'll try Playa in Mexico. Thanks for the suggestion! Will be nice with my American time zone. XD
Hi Ethan, thanks for weighing in! If you like Chiang Mai, you might like Playa and the time zone is definitely ideal! There's a Nomad Summit coming up in Cancun this year if you want to check it out: www.nomadsummit.com
You might want to check out my video on Digital Nomad Taxes - 5 Biggest Misconceptions - Location Independent Lifestyle here: ruclips.net/video/6X4oRhz1Yhs/видео.html 😊
playa wants to charge forigners $16 per club entry each night. many of us go out 3 times per week for 3 months and go to 3-4 clubs per night. the people there are quite the mfs to let this happen illegally.
Western Europe is too expensive Netherlands being one of them so stay out- not a good place for digital nomads that maybe just starting and doesn't have a sustainable income from online ventures. Canada too expensive for start up nomads, Poland cheap and safe but people don't talk to you unless you talk to them first in other words its too cold and isolating if you dont speak polish. I would prefer South East Asian countries because the people are warm and friendly atmosphere delicious food and its very cheap as opposed to western countries.
I wonder why many digital nomads prefer to live in 3rd world countries rather than 1st world countries. Is it for tax reasons ? If it's so, I think it's nonsens, since taxes always reflect a high living standard. If you pay more taxes, you generally have a fair amount of quality services that you miss in less taxed country, except in some off-shore countries like Dubaï or Monaco, but on the other hand those rich off-shore micro-states are very expensive places, so what you keep in one hand you loose it with the other hand. If nomad life is choosen for cost of living reason, I don't think it's a good one. My opinion is that moving constantly from a place to another is costly on a long term shedule even though you feel you save money in each county you stay in comparing to staying in your own coutry.
I believe that most of them choose developing countries for the low cost of living, despite sacrificing services. Many nomads keep their tax base at home, so that's not necessarily a factor. Moving too often is very costly! That's why I talk about slow travel so much... unless you're taking a sabbatical or holiday, moving too fast is detrimental to health, productivity and more. You're right!
Poland has awful food but of course she may have a different opinion, yes it has beaches but she doesnt tell you that the weather is absolutely freezing on the Baltic coast so its very rare when its possible to use them, this information is not genuine! worthless information

If your work is paid in dollars, the most convenient country is Argentina ( Buenos Aires city ) , due to the currency exchange, and the technological resources available, as well as being is the least expensive country in the region.

I'd like to recommend you add a blip on language in each place.

Have you ever worked a 9-5 est job while in Europe, Thailand or Bali? Is it hard to manage the time difference
I have never had a traditional 9-5 job, but it's important to base yourself in a timezone where you can work effectively during your peak hours. I like working in the EU time zone with clients who are in North America so I can have slow mornings and work in the afternoons.

90 days inside Schengen and then 90 days outside Schengen...and then one should be able to enter agaian, not? Krstin says; 90+90+90...; SChengen; Bulgaria and then GB...as I understand the regulation it is 90 days IN and then minmum 90 OUT ...and they one can enter again, not?
How about Medellin Co?
Hey Kristin, what camera did you use?
Canon EOS M3 :)
BEST ONE 💕💚🙏🏻
Thanks so much!
After thirty years driving around Europe as a professional truck driver I have witnessed far too many accidents and the consequences for the unprepared..some years ago I wrote a guide that the Police & insurance companies accept as evidence..it also contains the telephone numbers for all emergency services...why did zip write this guide? because of the amount of time I spent dealing with the Police & Enforcement agencies..few people realise that if you are involved in an accident outside your home means you won't be leaving there anytime soon..

I love D.F.!
One question.... . I'd like to enter Canada as I'm a freelancer and I'd like to keep my current job even when living in Canada. I wil not going to have any Canadian clients, and all the salary from my work would be stored in an Italian bank account. The idea is then to spend it in Canada directly from my account through services like Revolut. Is this allowed? Can I enter as an Italian tourist and stay in Canada up to 6 months with ETA?
Hi Cristina, You can check out this link for more updated information on staying as an Italian tourist in Canada www.canadaonlinevisa.com/eta-requirements/italian-citizens/#:~:text=Whether%20for%20business%20or%20pleasure,authorization%20before%20entering%20the%20country.

Thanks for sharing Rimas!
kristin, i love your videos.
Thank you so much!
love netherlands and costs rica
Glad to know that! :)
US have a very strict policy when you live abroad and your obligation to still pay taxes in the US, maybe not income from work, but for company, capitaltaxes. Europe countries; you can remain a citizen and just have have no serious connections to your country; owning property, bankaccounts, business, if dont have these and dont spend more than 60-90days in a European country, you daont hav to pay taxes in your orginial homecountry. So living as a Nomad , where do you hav your base, your home. The company is easliy to register in a taxhaven, but as a person it is much more difficult, but some countris nowadays offer special work and entrepreneur visas; Estonia, georgia, malaysia, Paraguay, Romania, and for sure many more that want and need high skilled foreigners and has a strategy for that. The only negative for a Scandinavian of middlegae is that health care insurance must be payed , living at home , it was covered but taxes , aying only symbolicly.
Very Informative content
Glad you think so! :D
Is the meme that you don't need a visa/ permanent residence because you change countries every few months?
Two criteria I'd add: speak English (or whatever language you speak) and taxes!
Noted! Will include in the next video :)
مساء السعاده والجمال عليك يا كريستين و منوره الدنيا كلها من القلب ❤️كل الحب
Thanks! 😊🙏
I don't think Windsor is a small town; I could be wrong, but it's Detroit, but livable.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Robert!
I didn't say it's small, and I realize it is Detroit, but ironically, a bit to the south. lol
@@TravelingwithKristin Thanks for all you do and for the beauty and elegance with which you do it. More people should think of being a DN. When I was a child, I read a classic book call The Battle for Investment Survival, by G. M. Loeb. The author recommended that every investor have a place in mind to move to if things in the US get really bad.
Beautiful
Thanks Arijit!
How about Greece and Denmark?
You should add visas to your important things list.
I do have a Digital Nomad & Remote Work Visa Database here: bit.ly/DNV_20off
hello! pelase How can I live as digital nomad in Portugal? How I win money? thanks
Hi here is my video on living in Portugal as a digital nomad ruclips.net/video/LfdY_11470w/видео.html
@@TravelingwithKristin thank you very much. kisses******
my criteria is
1. competent people
2. good housing.
3. hot women.
That's all??
Huatulco Mexico! I know this is an older video but I think the topic still applies. I'm at the Best Western hotel and they have super fast internet at their #GoldenCircleCoworking and throughout the hotel.
Yes it still is, glad to know you liked the video! Enjoy your trips!
@@TravelingwithKristin Thanks Kristin! You too. Can't wait to hear you speak at the upcoming conference. :)
hey, we have an army in switzerland :P
bulgaria... did you meet zan perrion?
Hi Michael! I did not...
"im really sad to travel to 50 countries to find this"
wait what? sad??
You might also consider Cebu, PH. The cost of living is low, it's fairly modern, nice people, and the visa situation is way more friendly than in Thailand.
Thanks Mike! I didn't add Cebu because of the slow internet speeds. How is it lately?
@@TravelingwithKristin I was there from Jan-June of this year and loved it. The internet seemed fine for my purposes, though I don't upload large videos like you do for your work. I hope that they open the border to foreigners again soon.
Okay, in this thumbnail you look like one of those little girls in the old commercials for American cheese. "More cheese please!"
😅😆
I can't believe you don't like Thailand!
isnt it hard to stay long term in canada, visa speaking ?
Yes it is for more than 6 months! There's a need to fit into a residency or work permit category.
Canada! Seriously!?? They have one of the WORST Immigration visa rules. Almost impossible to get anything except a visit visa.
Hi, good job you need to chek Castelo Branco in Portugal = Yes Portugal, stay safe it's your life all the best to all.
Thank you so much!
Nice 🤗 very good👌
Thanks Rik!
Lol Windsor and Sarnia in Canada suck. Canada is becoming one of the most expensive places on earth, if you want to waste all your money come here. My fav city that isn't as expensive as others is Montreal. Toronto/Vancouver and Baff/Jasper park would be good spots to stay for a bit but are expensive, don't forget Ottawa for a short stop also.
Well, they definitely aren't as nice or exciting as the big cities! I love all those places: Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, and Banff area
Is digital Nomad possible for family?
Yes it is! You might want to listen to an interview I did with Carrie McKeegan, Traveling and living abroad with 3 kids: www.travelingwithkristin.com/digital-nomad-podcast/moving-overseas-with-3-kids
I want to contact u,hw can i contact u?....I want to ask something about Estonia....?
Hi Melody head over to www.travelingwithkristin.com/contact
I really really like Chiang Mai myself. Haven't had the greatest luck with Bali.
I'll try Playa in Mexico. Thanks for the suggestion! Will be nice with my American time zone. XD
Hi Ethan, thanks for weighing in! If you like Chiang Mai, you might like Playa and the time zone is definitely ideal! There's a Nomad Summit coming up in Cancun this year if you want to check it out: www.nomadsummit.com
@@TravelingwithKristin People recommends Mexico when they are talking about safety??? I don’t get it.
how does it work with taxes been a digital nomad?
You might want to check out my video on Digital Nomad Taxes - 5 Biggest Misconceptions - Location Independent Lifestyle here: ruclips.net/video/6X4oRhz1Yhs/видео.html 😊
Switzerland has a solid army.
That's true
Lived in China for two years. Have a 10 VISA, YA !
Glad to know that Norm. 😊
playa wants to charge forigners $16 per club entry each night.
many of us go out 3 times per week for 3 months and go to 3-4 clubs per night.
the people there are quite the mfs to let this happen illegally.
Clubs are open in Playa right now?
What's a digital nomad?
Hey there! Digital nomads are people who use online tools to earn a living and conduct their life in a nomadic manner.
Would you like to visit Vietnam?
For sure! Hopefully
Although I married a Chinese woman I still love you okay, LOL..
Establishes four rules to best digital nomads locations... literally like four of these break the rules you put forth lol
I heard Nordic countries are generally super racist.. but wow, so cool that Amsterdam has coffee shops w weed!
Yes they have. :)
Switzerland has conscription haha
It's cold in anywhere in Canada, big no no
It's warm a good part of the year! Also - skiing is awesome. Seasonal difference are important to take into consideration though
Western Europe is too expensive Netherlands being one of them so stay out- not a good place for digital nomads that maybe just starting and doesn't have a sustainable income from online ventures. Canada too expensive for start up nomads, Poland cheap and safe but people don't talk to you unless you talk to them first in other words its too cold and isolating if you dont speak polish. I would prefer South East Asian countries because the people are warm and friendly atmosphere delicious food and its very cheap as opposed to western countries.
I wonder why many digital nomads prefer to live in 3rd world countries rather than 1st world countries. Is it for tax reasons ? If it's so, I think it's nonsens, since taxes always reflect a high living standard. If you pay more taxes, you generally have a fair amount of quality services that you miss in less taxed country, except in some off-shore countries like Dubaï or Monaco, but on the other hand those rich off-shore micro-states are very expensive places, so what you keep in one hand you loose it with the other hand.
If nomad life is choosen for cost of living reason, I don't think it's a good one. My opinion is that moving constantly from a place to another is costly on a long term shedule even though you feel you save money in each county you stay in comparing to staying in your own coutry.
I believe that most of them choose developing countries for the low cost of living, despite sacrificing services. Many nomads keep their tax base at home, so that's not necessarily a factor. Moving too often is very costly! That's why I talk about slow travel so much... unless you're taking a sabbatical or holiday, moving too fast is detrimental to health, productivity and more. You're right!
Poland has awful food but of course she may have a different opinion, yes it has beaches but she doesnt tell you that the weather is absolutely freezing on the Baltic coast so its very rare when its possible to use them, this information is not genuine! worthless information
Did you learn any Bulgarian while you were there? LOL
VERY little! :( Next time I will practice more
