I’ve lived in Thailand, went to Albania this year and decided to retire in Colombia. I loved Montenegro! I would love to see you guys compare Montenegro and Colombia. Thanks guys!!
Great idea!
@@jpford3430 someday will buy rural land in Montenegro
where in Columbia is best ? is cost of living low ? am looking for climate that is not humid / hot ? have u been to Paraguay ?
Thanks you two for all these positive and informative videos
Tirana and Bangkok seem like the perfect pair to move back and forth during the best weather of the year.
That is a brilliant idea! 👊🏼
Really enjoyed this video ! Great job on breaking down the two cities.
Havent been to Albania yet, but Thailand, Europe and Albania looks like a good trifecta to try out. Bulgaria was my trifecta before, but sadly now thats gone to the EU (Romania too).
You must mean the Schengen 90 day limit? I know what you mean.
Maybe do winter in Thailand and summer in Albania.
Great video, thank you 😊
Amazing comparisons.
I was just in Albania a last month, it is a nice country , helpful people. Tirana easy place to visit or live
I did a 7 country run also went to Lviv Ukraine I wanted to just be a tourist and help the economy in a tiny way. Lviv was wonderful, the people friendly and helpful so many spoke English. It's a walk around city, also a great electric trolley transportation.
Lviv is in a very safe zone on the western side. I also like Serbia, Romanaia and Poland maybe because they had so many English speakers I could connect to.
Your videos are great I enjoy them all.
I agree with everything you said. Plus, Lviv is my favorite city in Ukraine.
Thank you for kind words about my city! Hope you will visit again after war is over.
Both of you look amazing and so happy together. Thanks so much for all of your insights. I plan on starting my slow travels in January 2026 but have been going to other countries as time permits while I finish my career. Good luck and health to you both! Maybe we will bump into each other sometime soon😊
I prefer Thailand no winter. Albania is still very nice I can easily go between the two.
That may be best of all. :-)
Well, silly me, I have found it. What a great link. Thanks so much.
Nice video Dan. It's rather interesting. I do love Europe and I have traveled for work to France, Germany, UK, Denmark, Sweden, and Spain. I liked my time there, but I realize that as I near retirement, I'm really looking to Southeast Asia for traveling and eventually retirement. I have taken a couple of recent trips to Japan and I realized that I love that part of the world (even though I don't speak Japanese). For me, I realized the reason why is related to the flow of life and more importantly how the asian countries deal with stress. Now, don't get me wrong, I understand that people born and raised in those countries need to deal with their own cultural forms of stress, but what I'm talking about is the comparison between the rat race here in the USA versus everywhere else in the world!
I realized that the European Union for me has more stress than what I experienced in Tokyo Japan. Now when you think of Tokyo, you are talking about the most populous city in Japan and it might be considered the most stressful area for a western traveler to visit especially when they don't speak a lick of Japanese. The interesting thing is, I found Tokyo actually less stressful than my travels to Europe with a significantly cheaper cost of living in Japan.
So that brings me to my ask. I would love to see your thoughts on a "stress comparison" scale for when you compare locations like you did in this video. I love your views and what you have shown us is possible in various locations around the world! Keep up the great work Dan!
That is one of the best ideas I have ever heard. I will do that very soon.
@@VagabondAwake Thanks Dan, but I gotta give credit where it's due. You gave me the idea as I found your channel during the pandemic which was an extremely stressful time for many of us. Your calm demeanor and presentation skills without passing personal judgement allowed me to listen to your travels and live a bit more stress free even though I'm still working in the USA. I realized that I started using a stress scale when viewing people's travel vlogs and as I age (further) I realize that I want to go to those places that will force me to slow down to their pace of life. In the end, it's my belief that I'll be happier!!!
Albania has everything. City life , mountains and sea. I expect it to be a hot destination once the infrastructure improves.
Fukuoka Danang and Thailand works for me I would stay in 2 or 3 locations in Thailand.
I haven't been to either one yet, but think I would greatly prefer Thailand............except for the hot and humid weather. More interesting country, but too hot. I'd probably go for Albania for long term residence.
Price is quite similar in both cities.
True, but foood is cheaper in Bangkok so we found ourselves cooking more at home in Albania to keep the expenses the same.
Excellent video, Dan! How about doing videos about Africa. I know it's a big continent, and some parts may not be safe or lacking adequate infrastructure, but perhaps start with North Africa?
I have only been to Morocco, Egypt and S. Africa. What countries are you interested in?
@@VagabondAwake Maybe Mauritius, Madagascar, Ghana
Hi Dan. I am planning a 7 week trip around the Balkan countries of Albania, Montenegro, Macedonia, Kosovo, Bosnia and Serbia. Have you done all these? Did you find getbybus app reliable to get around? I have seen different reviews about them. The app says printed tickets required. How did you get around this please? I will be there May and June. Is everything so busy and booked out at this time?
When tickets needed to be printed which was only once or twice, we went to the bus station early to get tickets printed. We have reports on these places now. Have you seen those at Vagabond Buddha?
Good Brief! Hobo Travel has been to more countries, however, he does not have the detail you provide. - Thanks -
We design it that way, Hers is lifestyle and food, mine is more cost of living and facts.
Hey Dan. I'm an accomplished jazz musician. I'd like to know from your experiences where jazz is still somewhat appreciate, and where a guy like me can bring his horn and sit-in with the band at an open jam session. Don't suppose you have a list of top spots for jazz around the world in the works?
We just google Jazz whenever we arrive in a city. That seems to work pretty well. Then just go ask the musicians at the Jazz club?
Dan where do you do your annual physical now? Malaysia?
Yes, the last few years.
I'm heading to Tirana in about 2 weeks, 12.13.24. Was curious as to where you stayed, and if you'd recommend it..ps love you videos
The Tirana report is the second link in the first comments below this video. Or you can Google Vagabond Buddha Albania.
Great video! Do you know if the retirement visa for Albania only applies to a pension, or would dividend income from stocks work too?
I am not sure. Sorry. Patrick may be able to refer you to someone who knows. The llink to his channel is in the notes below the interview I did with him here: ruclips.net/video/kbJ9cvpug9Q/видео.htmlsi=qD_XVeY9D7A75Yiy
I would live in SE Asia over Europe! The women are more feminine and beautiful in SE Asia.
There are beautiful women in both places, but we all have our natural favorites we discover when we visit places around the world. :-)
Thailand 4 me 👍
Which countries are kids very quiet at the beaches and beach neighborhoods during the summer months? We can't tollerate modern children noise pollution. Great video! Thanks.
😂
Quiet kids? Hmmm. Not sure I know the answer to that. Have you tried ear muffs? That is what I used to do when kids were around me when it was time to study.
@@VagabondAwake ear muffs and ear plugs cause people who wear them to become Much More sensitive to noise pollution over time. I wish I never wore them. Modern breeders teach their babies and kids to disrespect their neighbors quiet enjoyment of life. Parents back before 1980 taught their kids to respect their neighbors quiet enjoyment of life. Parents who allow their kids to be noisy should be fined $500,000 or 10 percent of their entire wealth for ruining their neighbors quiet enjoyment of life. Please if you find a safe beach neighborhood that NEVER allows children to visit please let us know about it. Thank you very much.
Temperature is one thing, but what about air quality? I've heard that Bangkok's air is terrible. Is this true?
Oh its true alright
The air poor air quality was a big no-go factor for me. Truly an exciting city, so much to do.
I was just in Bangkok two weeks ago, And left to go to Okinawa, due to the horrible air....And I love Bangkok, but can't take the air, except in rainy season...
@@drifter8800 Ya, I saw that the air improved greatly after I left. There were about 4 days in a row that the pm 2.5 was in the unhealthful range ... I am very aware of the air quality and monitor it every day wherever I'm at , as I have COPD. But it is now entering the dry and burning season, so I'm outa there...
I just recommend checking the air quality online if that is an important issue for you. Just Google "Air Quality in City Name." They have live monitors around the world.
Worst thing is to take a fish when you are going fishing
Thanks for telling me about the beautiful country of Malasia
Thank you! Our pleasure. :-)
You're doing a fantastic job! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
I don't even understand the question so I would not be the right person to ask this question. Sorry.
What's the name of the apartment complex in Bangkok for $24 per night?
Thanks.

Most of our videos have multiple links to important information that will help you save time and money. It is our way of thanking you for watching our videos.
So, ... thank you, Dan
I have a dilemma and I realize I'm in the minority. I don't have a pension I don't have social security coming in so I don't have any way to permanently live in Thailand even though I have a friend that's a lady that I've basically been dating for 4 years and visiting in Thailand they require a certain amount of money coming in most places do but to my knowledge Philippines doesn't require a monthly income and I'm pretty sure laos doesn't. I would like you or anyone on this comment section to correct me if I'm wrong but there's no monetary requirements in Philippines are allowed meaning I could stay in laos for August 6th months and travel to 3 hours to her in Thailand and she doesn't require a visa to go to allow from Thailand or I can live in the Philippines without any money requirements and not get a certain visa and just keep extending for 3 years if I had the money for that time. And leave for one day and start over and keep doing it over and over and being close to her. It's just a dilemma for people that don't have a lot of money or don't have a certain income coming in but love visiting those countries. Even the expats that live in those countries are derogatory towards visiting that don't have the money for the big expensive visas. It's pretty sad actually even in the Philippines being that you can just keep extending for 3 years leave for a day come back expats that pay the big money for the certain visas look down upon the Americans that come there and don't have the money to pay for those visas and it's pretty sad because it insinuates you have to have a certain amount of money to enjoy this world
@@andrewbrann6231 you can also try Cambodia. A 1-year visa costs about 300 usd (using an agency). I don't know where your GF lives in Thailand but there are buses which travel from TH to Cambodia. I also don't know if Laos will be more convenient for you/ her. Vietnam doesn't have a retirement visa but you can stay there for 3 months on a tourist visa. Then you'll have to go on a visa run (or use an agency) to get another 3 months.
Perhaps consider Cambodia. Once you’ve done the research, you’ll discover how affordable and of great ease one can move effortlessly in Siem Reap. Cheers.
Google: Vagabond Buddha How to retire on a tourist visa. That is another choice you have. :-)
Come on y'all, you can't compare Albania to Thailand...😅
Why is that?
@VagabondAwake Thailand has everything Albania has and much more. The food choices alone are way better than there.
@@markshaw1966 Albania gives US citizens a very nice 365 day visa on arrival. Thailand doesn't do that.
Although I was really saddened to hear you say that one can’t live abroad and survive on $1100 per month, I remain optimistic. According to this video, rent in both Tirana and Bangkok still seem doable.
That's based on 2 people
Okay, I will do anoither video on how to live on $1000 a month. Thanks for the idea. Not everyone wants to or can, but for those that have to, I will make a video.
@@VagabondAwake Yes, you can easily live on a $1000 a month. Locals in those countries live on much less than that.
@malcolm - if that's your budget, ($1100), you can try Cambodia (Siem Reap, Kampot) or Vietnam (Danang, Dalat, Nha Trang). The cities I've mentioned are 2nd tier cities or towns. If you live in Tier 1 cities, cost of living is higher. Btw you should also have an emergency fund in case of health or family emergencies.
@@kitty_s23456 Thank you. I do have a nest egg set aside for emergencies and the occasional splurge. I still believe if one is cautious and doesn't spend like a drunken sailor, perhaps getting by on $1100 per month is possible.
Screw the sand
That might hurt. I'll pass on that suggestion. lol.
There is no comparison between those two countries....I'm Bulgarian and know very well Albania... Albania implemented the first road sign in 2003. In the 80s, only horses and donkeys . It's like comparing Bentley with Nissan Micra😅
Albania had a much more oppressive regime than Bulgaria had during the Socialist era. It's amazing just how Albania is now progressing.
@@theself-helpconnection3731 Bulgaria looks like a gypsy country, I don't know how they got you into the EU. Before the 90s Albania was like North Korea and very poor, but the pace of development after the 90s surpasses any ex-communist country. Albania was simply too far behind.
We loved both and they are different. So we share who might like each.
You know Albania HDI and economy is higher than Thailand right ? You are Bulgarian, the poorest country in the eu by far that's why you are stealing scrap in the west
