Congratulations guys! Your story is inspiring. You definitely earned a new subscriber. I love your videos. The editing is amazing and both your energy is unmatched!
Hi guys! Fellow South African here who has taken the plunge via TEFL to live abroad to Thailand and China and build a life teaching English. Since then I’ve scaled my marketing business online and I can confirm this is the best life in the world. Writing this message from the desert in Jaisalmer, India. So proud of you!
WOW. You Guys are truly an INSPIRATION, @Rhett and Claire. So very well done and may your success continue to go from strength-to-strenght. Love you Guys❤
Hey Ken! Thanks for watching brother. Love you man. I owe a lot to you for listening to my crazy ideas in our office right from the start and you were always there to say go for it!
Wow, such a "real" video, really felt you guys! You are so inspiring. Would appreciate a video about how to use social media to assist in building a business, especially for the ones of us who aren't that into social media.
Hi. Rhette & Claire. So heart-warming to hear from you & your updates. Both of you have given me so much inspiration and hope over the years. I am dying to quit full time and being a digital nomad. (cos need to support family with maid & advanced dementia mum) But reality is harsh and I constantly see myself spinning wheels without success so far. Invested so much on online courses and even now, still investing! So so envy of your success. Wish I can get a taste of such sweet success right now...sigh...anyway, wish you higher success in the near future, better happiness and very good health. Looking forward to your new travelling adventures in 2025! Cheers!
Hi Brian. Thank you for always supporting us. You are amazing! We know it can be very tough to live this life if there are a lot of responsibilities at home. We are very lucky we had not “strings” as such. We just had to sell our cars and furniture and give it a shot! Well done for continuing to invest in yourself. I am sure with persistent and consistency, success will come. Stay strong ❤️🙏🏼
Wow guys, that was flippin awesome, absolutely loved your story, it is soooo damn refreshing when RUclipsrs (full-timers) actually share the highs and most importantly the lows of following this dream. You have been through some stuff, YOH! I also particularly loved that incredibly technical graphic showing your journey..haha..loved it! Your story was just what I needed to see and hear today, as I sit and prepare for my own journey to start in 2025, BTW Im a lot older than you guys. Two key things I took from this is (1) Have multiple streams of income, even if they only bring in small amounts, every drop counts, and (2) I guess this one is subjective, but it appears to me that your journey, as tough as it was, succeeded because you had each other, so if its possible I guess the idea of travelling with someone who shares your craziness and passion, and with whom you get along with extremely well is vital. Thank you so much for sharing, it was so lekker to watch. I wish you well on your future journeys and I look forward to seeing more interesting videos, as I am now a subscriber whoop whoop!!
@@frqncypro2120 Hey John. Thanks for stopping by and watching our story. We’re very happy to have you as a new subscriber!😃 It’s definitely been a journey, but we’re so excited to see where it takes us. We feel we are still at the beginning and we are sure there will be many more ups and downs ahead too, but that’s life😊 Really happy you enjoyed the video and we wish you all the best for the start of your own journey in 2025!
We want to begin by saying that you guys epitomize what it means to follow your dreams. Your determination , your perseverance and most of all your passions shine always. It's true we have our highs and lows, but as we move on in life we learn and grow from it as human beings. These are the main reasons why we follow you guys. Yes, the scenery is nice but you guys take it to another level. Your wonderful work comes from the heart and your passions. Harriet and I have learned a lot from you. Thank you for all your efforts. Greatly Appreciated. Sending you all much love ❤❤ from Richmond, Va. Harriet, Jim and Yuki
I really enjoyed your video! Thanks so much for making it, we have been traveling and making RUclips videos on our channel for about 8 months now. There has been SO much to learn and we are finally monetized!!! Keep up the good work!
I LOVED hearing your story. I look forward to every travel journey. Wise advice my fellow Joburgers/Capetownians we also made the same move to the Cape. I started my online business a few years ago. It takes time but it was worth EVERYTHING...I too did the postgrad thing and then found this path. I was blessed to discover your channel when searching for everything I needed to know about BALI. I noted literally everything, I stayed there for a month in 2023. I've been hooked on your channel ever since and obviously following South Africans, priceless
Hey Maryann😊 Thank you so much for this kind comment ❤️🙏🏼 Well done to you for following your dreams and making it happen. You are are right it is worth everything and definitely worth fighting for 👊🏼 Thank your for supporting us, we don’t get a lot of support from our fellow saffers 🙏🏼
really appreciate you guys - your honestly and inspirational journey! thanks for your videos, your story really makes everything seem less scary and possible.
I love you guys, and it's so nice to see how far you've come from having no money to building your dream life. GOALS! :) What camera do you now vlog with? your skills have seriously improved since the beginning!
You’ve been such an inspiration for me while travelling in Thailand and now, in our way to leave Ireland and go to Bali❤ We have just one life and we have to fulfill it with best options! Keep doing beautiful things, guys, you’re going in the right direction 🎉
Your storytelling skills are on point. That was lengthy and you had my attention from beginning to end - respect. Though I love online teaching and have been doing it for 5 years (Vietnamese kids student base) I have now hit a ceiling and feel a little burnt out. I adore my job and have the utmost respect (and empathy) for Asian kids because of the work ethic expected of them. However, I would like to dabble in other income streams while continuing the teaching because I'm aware that the world is changing and there are opportunities out there. It's just difficult to navigate it. Thanks for your time. Dee.
Hi Dee! Wow, thank you for saying that❤️. It's totally normal to feel the way you do now about teaching. Life is about phases, teaching online might be a phase that needs to end for you. Time to find a new hobby/passion! There are so many out there that you can monetise 😁. Have a look on Skillshare
This is such a great watch! Insane how similar our stories are, the difference is that I started digital nomading through copywriting instead of teaching English, but it's otherwise essentially the same, even down to getting a large RUclips editing client after making some videos of my own. Inspiring as always, keep at it! 😊
Great video! Lekker to see other South Africans thrive through the creator economy. Can I ask when your RUclips change in more views when you decided to go full time in - what did you do with posting schedule? I’m living as a nomad building up I’m in my 3rd year (2 years in a van and now 6months full time travel) - I would like to know for encouragement and motivation. This has kept me inspired to thrive this week so thank you.
Yebooo girl look at you❤️. We started uploading consistently once a week but all the videos we were posting had a purpose, they each answered a question people were searching for 🙏🏻
We've made a very similar video. We think it is so important to share your journey so it can inspire others! Its important to have an abundant mindset, there is enough out there for us all to chase our dreams. Thank you for your inspirational video🌟
Wow, I love your videos and you inspire me. I have a question. How do I convince my partner that we doesn't have to save up alot of money to take a simple roadtrip to Pretoria. Him and I want to travel, but I think he has a scarcity mindset and I undermine how much things cost😅 sometimes. How can we start the travel culture?
Hey Angelina. Thank you so much for watching and for the kind comment 🙏🏼 This is really a tough one. I think you both have to want it. Travel is not for everyone though unfortunately. We look at travel as an investment in our own personal development. Like we said in the video. These experiences we’ve been able to have abroad have always resulted in growth and a mindset shift. Maybe he just needs a small push in the right direction to see the light 😃
Hi Rhett. Do you fund your own travels or do you do it via n travel credit card? The states has amazing travel credit card benefits, and I am currently looking into getting one as an South African resident. If you have one, can you maybe give me some info how to apply for the ITIN number?
@@StefanSwift-pq2rw hi Stefan. We don’t have an American credit card. We’re not sure it’s possible to get one actually. We pay for all our travels on our FNB credit card or business card direct. Pity we can’t earn points on all of our travel and get free hotel stays like the US guys do. If we did maybe we’d have our own house by now 😂
The million dollar question about traveling full time or even part time is, how much does 1 person need to start, coz all this is pointless if you don't have the koney to do it. Is it R100,000, R50,000 ? What is it? Coz people never touch on the money side of things, which is what a person needs to do anything in this world.
Yoh, that question is so complicated to answer. It depends on what countries you're traveling to, and what lifestyle you want to lead. You need a monthly salary that'll cover whatever the cost of living is in a country. Most of us start in SE Asia because it's far cheaper than anywhere else in the world. You need money saved up for flights, visas and visa runs. But you need a monthly salary big enough to cover your living expenses, which could be anywhere between $1000-$2000 a month for a person depending on how lavish they want to live
Hey Rhett and Claire - to be honest, I havent yet finished the vid, but I have to stop and share something!!! My wife and I have just launched our eComm brand. We're massive fans of the channel and have watched almost all your videos!! We want to work with you guys. We know you, and we know that you guys are the perfect fit for our brand. Can we connect to discuss the collab? P.s its paid 🤑 P.p.s back to the video for me hehe🎉
Everyone cant just quit there 9-5 job, whos gonna then work in hospitals, grocery stores and so on. Its very few who can succeed and live of social media/youtube. Most cant. Its a combination of hard work and luck. Also its easier for girls to be successfull
Of course! And we're not saying everyone should become social media influencers at all. In fact, most people won't make it. Find your passions and monetise them. If that requires you to work a 9-5, great! As long as you find fulfilment from what you're doing, that's all that matters🙌🏻

How to rent an apartment in Thailand and other new foreign country?
First airbnb, and then once you're on the ground you can go to apartments you like and speak to reception. Otherwise - digital nomad Facebook groups 😁

Falling in love isn't ever a decision! It just happens❤️

I did not catch the name of the club in Jo-burg where you two met. What is it, please?
beautiful story. you should have a baby now! you won't regret it :)
Oh goodness🙈😅
