Dan, it was truly an honor to finally meet you and Qiang. You guys are the best at showing the world and participating in this small way was cool. I'm sure we'll meet again and wish two continued success in your amazing travels.
The pleasure was ours interviewing and meeting you. The joy of your escape from normal is evident in your life and your daily experiences. Thanks for allowing us to share your life with others Bobbie. Dan and Qiang.
Great interview, Bobby! You love to scuba, you have a GoPro, you have a new light for your GoPro....so I was hoping to find some underwater videos when I clicked on your name. Maybe a good project for when you get to Bali? (BTW, that's my favorite place in Asia - $12/night for a perfectly reasonable hotel room in Ubud, including breakfast is hard to beat! But probably going to end up in Canggu next time, so I can be closer to the beach.)
I second his comment about visiting Mexico during the pandemic, I spent two weeks there (Akumal), I felt no less safe than being in the US (NY/NJ). I had a great time, Xmas 2020 and NYD 2021!
Thank you for the wise thought Keith Phillips. I couldn't have said it better myself. And thanks for taking the time to share. When you share here RUclips shows my video to more people and I get paid more. So by sharing here, you are paying me for my creative energy. So, thank you, :-) Dan
Between the two of you and now Bobby- I am super inspired to pull the trigger for my bislig PI move. What a cool setup and Bobby's attitude is awesome. Thanks you two!
My other half is an American, he pulled the plug 2 1/2 years ago. He is now less stressed out, and I dare say he's enjoying life, without the worry of the political/economics front. Yes, you can do it! :)
*Amazing!* : Bob has it all going on. At first I just thought the video was just going to be about the apartment. But the interview was the bonus footage!! Nice Job all three of you.
I have not been to Mexico in 56 years so it is nice to see what things are like. I also retired early at age 39 and headed to Asia and pretty much never left. Lots of scuba diving, snorkeling, hiking and inflatable kayaking rivers has kept me pretty busy. Where ever you go be happy! Life is what you make of it.

If you come Playa we may meet. The web site to contact Master instructor Ronnie Vargas is scubadivingronnie.com. I have been diving with him now for 5 months and have gone from Open Water and Advanced to Dive Master and Dive Guide status certification. Anyone with interest can find me on fb and of course Ronnie at his web site and phone #. Glad to help. He is the best and the diving here is off the hook!!
Mike, actually I will be diving and I am a qualified dive guide now however because they are so crushed with no business from covud travel restrictions there is ni need for people like me as far as dive jobs go at the moment. They need money and work
One of the best videos and interviews I've seen on any travel channel. I love that area but planning on Asia and retiring early too. Thank you so much!
Thanks for this video; I prefer the Caribbean side of Mexico for the beach/water, so I am glad you guys are there and look forward to some more content about this region.
Our pleasure Julie! We have retire cheap reports for this side of Mexico: Tulum, Playa Del Carmen, Isla Mujeres, Merida, Campeche, and will soon add Cozumel and Puerto Morales. :-) Just check out all of our reports at VagabondBuddha.com.
Greg from Canada here. Great video but folks really need to read your linked to comments to understand the context of how Bobbie was able to get his apartment so cheap. In normal times, this wouldn't be possible unless, as you point out, one arrives in the off season and negotiates a long term stay. Once Covid is over, who knows if even that will be possible at such low rates, (regardless of month of arrival) and one has to think the price will be higher. Good for Bobbie, though! Interesting guy. Thx once again!
You're right and it is high season at the moment. That said there are deals to be found. Like Dan does and I did, it is often better to arrive first for a 3-7 day stay and then look around for location and price before going long term.
@@yangzhengqing8024 Thanks for your reply! Agree with the strategy. Just saying Covid has skewed the prices somewhat so folks shouldn't think 400 US per month for that place (even with the way you did it) is normal.
Hello GK Schick, the tricks Bobbie used to get this deal are on the webpage, link below this video in notes. All of our videos have a webpage that has the data discussed in that video.

Wow Bobby is a great guy and his apartment is beautiful. I love that it is all inclusive with air conditioning and a rooftop pool. That little place is all me and my wife need and we love to walk everywhere. The beach is close and the shopping even closer. It also sounded like there are bars for the nightlife within walking distance. You have been saying it in your videos and here is the proof, what more can you ask for? ❤️🇨🇦❤️ Cheers!!!
Very nice apartment and great interview 👍. $400 is considered cheap and great place to live. Hope it's still there when I retired, 10 more years togo. Cheers 🍻

I have no experience with the cartel. I think that is mainly the drug cultiure which I stay away from. Just stay away from crime around the world and your life will be much happier.
@@VagabondAwake Dan thanks for the kind words. You are 100% right. I have learned for me what is important and a priority. As I now say, "I have no wife, no house, no car, no bills and no money". And now I'm in no hurry. No matter where I go I am home because I've learned the art of the chill. "Don't worry, be happy".
That’s a great price for such a nice place. I pay only about $100 a month less after everything included in Cozumel but My place is not as nice as his. I don’t have a pool either. Lodging is usually more expensive in Cozumel.
Are you two there now or was this shot earlier? Reason being, I will be in Puerto Morelos just 20 min. away in beginning of March. Don’t know if we will ever be any closer!! Stay safe you two !! If you are still there, see you then. 🤞
was worth asking about not too often that we are going to near the same spot. I have no idea where I’m going after my three months in Puerto Morelos, but will let you know where I end up just in case we end up being in the “same neighborhood “ so to speak. Stay safe you two !!

Sorry about that. Thanks for sharing. This is a building of individually owned condos. Each owner sets their own price. It is not an apartment building. Listen to the video to understand how Robert got this deal. And use the method to find another. It is the method we are teaching here. Even if the one condo Robert lived in was available on the day you visited, it doesn't mean it will be available for the next person tomorrow. But the method is available forever. You are on the right path. Now knock some more doors.. Best of luck! Dan Go rent this one: ruclips.net/video/78H-J0TEz3A/видео.html
I enjoyed watching this vlog. I learned a lot. Thank you for sharing. I am a widow, retired and currently living in CO, USA. I am considering of going to Mexico for a month or so by myself (first time to go solo) My question is, would it be safe to travel there on my own? I’m thinking of Puerto Vallarta for now. Can you recommend a good safe place to rent either an ARBNB or an apartment whichever is best in PVR, that is walkable to like groceries, testaurants, the Malecon and beaches just to name a few. A feedback would be very much appreciated FYI.. I am now one of your subscribers 😊
WOW!! I am going to be there Sep 6, just a couple blocks away. Circuito, PDC. I would be interested in finding out if there is another unit for the same price in this building. Sometime in the middle of September or Oct 1.
@@VagabondAwake I checked with security and the prices start at 15,000 pesos now... near $750us. Almost double from last year and I am asking in rainy season... just yesterday.

COVID hasn't slowed tourism in this area. Since Mexico is the only place open it still has a large tourism industry. The new rule requiring a PCR test to re-enter the USA may have an affect. We will know in a few weeks.

Regarding your point about Airbnb no longer being the cheap resource it once was: Airbnb ruined travel for the savvy traveler. Before, I used to be able to show up, stay at a hostel for 3 days, and figure out the cool neighborhoods. Then, I'd just scour the local papers, talk to people, look for signs. I relied on my language skills and that meant that I was generally paying market rates for locals. It was like picking berries on a hike.

Cool simple place not far from a beautiful beach.
Awesome!
$400.00 inclusive
👍🍻👍
I need to get the Hell out of the States.
I'm 51 and retired from the Marines with a $3146.00 a month pension.
I'm sure I'd be comfortable...

Dan,
Very happy to be of any help...
Have an awesome day 👍🍻👍
Will
Learn spanish, do your research... visit. Stay in an area long enough to be sure, of such a change. + enjoy.
Damn he looks happy... I can't wait to retire!
He is happy!
Marve, Yes i am happy. You really know your retired when you no longer know what day it is nor do you care.
Great looking studio!
I think so too!
Looks really nice for the price
He totally scored.
Looks amazing!!
It does!
Great vid.
Thanks Ray!
If I run out of money go back to the states. You'll never find a place for $400 that includes utilities in a beach town with a pool and roof top party area. Have a good time in Bali. My friend is from there and talks about Indonesia all the time.

just went today to this building to check pricing for rentals, lady security guard after checking with someone quoted 18000mxs
Sorry about that. Thanks for sharing. This is a building of individually owned condos. Each owner sets their own price. It is not an apartment building. Listen to the video to understand how Robert got this deal. And use the method to find another. It is the method we are teaching here. Even if the one condo Robert lived in was available on the day you visited, it doesn't mean it will be available for the next person tomorrow. But the method is available forever. You are on the right path. Now knock some more doors.. Best of luck! Dan Go rent this one: ruclips.net/video/78H-J0TEz3A/видео.html
I enjoyed watching this vlog. I learned a lot. Thank you for sharing.
I am a widow, retired and currently living in CO, USA. I am considering of going to Mexico for a month or so by myself (first time to go solo) My question is, would it be safe to travel there on my own? I’m thinking of Puerto Vallarta for now.
Can you recommend a good safe place to rent either an ARBNB or an apartment whichever is best in PVR, that is walkable to like groceries, testaurants, the Malecon and beaches just to name a few.
A feedback would be very much appreciated
FYI.. I am now one of your subscribers 😊
We loved where we stayed and it felt safe to us. The link is on this page: vagabondbuddha.com/puerto-vallarta-retire-cheap-paradise/
Cool place, great price. 🌴
It really is!
WOW!! I am going to be there Sep 6, just a couple blocks away. Circuito, PDC. I would be interested in finding out if there is another unit for the same price in this building. Sometime in the middle of September or Oct 1.
I think Bob got his by asking the security guard for the number of the owner of his unit.
@@VagabondAwake I checked with security and the prices start at 15,000 pesos now... near $750us. Almost double from last year and I am asking in rainy season... just yesterday.
That’s it, I’m officially inspired
Thanks MIke.
is there anything comparable in puerto morelos? thanks for your help
Here you go: ruclips.net/video/78H-J0TEz3A/видео.html
Good price all in 👍😎
Sure is
Very chill dude... $400 a month for that place seems totally fair... everything included kinda blows me away Lol

I’m interested in renting in Playa at some point! So far loving it in Zihuatanejo but tough to find affordable rent!
He got this in off season and stayed through high season.
I thought $400 was a little expensive for a bachelor apartment, but with a pool and utilities included it's reasonable.
Thank you Kevin P! Thanks for watching and commenting. :-) Dan
Do you have my free eBook yet? That is here: vagabondbuddha.com/fire-your-boss-travel-world/
I would be so stoked to score on that apartment! I liked the Philippines better, but he's a hop, skip away from the states? I would stay in that apartment and fly to the San Francisco Bay area once or twice a month, and be totally happy!
Sounds like you have life figured out Chris. Best, Dan :-)
@@VagabondAwake Not quite......I need your report on Tbilisi!😀
Nice set up for $400!
I think so too!

Cool show. Robert, I think Indonesia is STILL closed.
Vaccinated visitors from the USA need to quarantine. But check before buying tickets. Rules change all the time.
Awsome.
Thanks Dennis!
The month to month lease means, they can rescind the lease any month

What’s the night life for singles ? Any golf courses
There are a few golf courses in the area but I haven't been. This area of Mexico is a huge tourist area. Most dating is with transient tourists in the tourist bars along 5th ave. If you want to date someone more permanent try Tinder.
Try Guadalajara or Monterey... gulf, tourist among city life going on around you.
Hi Vagabond,
Yesterday I flew in from Mexico and I'm looking for something very similar to this place to rent. Could you put me touch with the man or company? Thanx retired n loving it Lisa
All the information I know is in the link below the video. :-)
you feel safe ,but the media in the USA ,they paint a horrific picture with the cartel and drug problems. great video thanks for posting
Yes. But the media needs to sell shampoo and other products. If it bleeds it leads. Go see for yourself. We love Mexico.
hi,do u have a fb or a webpage for the apartment?i would like to ask them about the renting.Thanks

Bobby, do you keep this Apartment as a base of operations or do you just move from country to country for months at a time? My wife is Vietnamese and after 32 years she retired and I am about to retire as well, we are both 56 and love to travel, so hope to be living somewhere warm for months at a time. Your Bahasa sounds pretty good. Saya berbicara sedikit bahasa indonesia Saya belajar bahasa Indonesia saya selama di Angkatan Darat.
He got rid of his empty bed in America and just moves forward now!
I'm currently in PdC for a couple of months coming up. Would like to move to this place if it's still $400.

It wont be unfirtunateky because its high season and the same would be around $500 of course depending on location
dan do you know where is the nearest western union to where the apartment is located ? the 350 a month had way more space in it
No. We just withdrawal money from ATMs using my Charles Schwab Card. If we need to send money we use BofA Bill Pay or Transferwise.
Are the rents cheaper now because of covid? If so what would be regular monthly rates for that condo in normal times?
COVID hasn't slowed tourism in this area. Since Mexico is the only place open it still has a large tourism industry. The new rule requiring a PCR test to re-enter the USA may have an affect. We will know in a few weeks.

Hello. Nice video you are arquitect?
No. This is just an apartment that Bobbie was renting. He is just a renter and I am his friend. :-)
great apartment...but where is the bathroom
I am Indonesian American, but will retired in Yucatan peninsula, don't know yet which city. My kids and possible grandkid in US can visit in short flight. This is nice to know.

Thought he was in Bali? 😮
So, if I'm in one country n a work visa, can I just leave for a few months and come back to work?
Regarding your point about Airbnb no longer being the cheap resource it once was: Airbnb ruined travel for the savvy traveler. Before, I used to be able to show up, stay at a hostel for 3 days, and figure out the cool neighborhoods. Then, I'd just scour the local papers, talk to people, look for signs. I relied on my language skills and that meant that I was generally paying market rates for locals. It was like picking berries on a hike.
Airbnb is going downhill fast. Good thing you have this skill set.
