- Ever wondered about the costs of traveling Europe for a full year? We've got all the details right here! After a year of nomadic life across Europe in 2023, we're breaking down every cost to show you how affordable it can be. Please visit our website to get more information: www.warrenjulietravel.com/
Join us as we share insights from our experiences, from managing a budget on Social Security to finding the best deals on accommodation and transportation. If you're considering a nomadic lifestyle or planning for retirement abroad, this video is packed with invaluable tips.
We break down the annual expenses of our slow-living lifestyle in Europe for retirement travelers. Whether you're a nomad on a budget planning for early retirement or on social security, this video will give insight into the costs of living your dream lifestyle and show how much it costs to travel and live in Europe full-time.
We are early retirement travelers, sharing our cost of living and nomad expat experiences through our travel vlog. Today we are speaking to Nomads, Expats, Travelers, Retirement Travelers, and World travelers on Social Security. We shared our yearly cost of travel, and we came in under the typical couple's Social Security budget.
We also travel with dogs! If you're a Nomad, Retiree, or Budget traveler, this is your video to see. We show you how slow travel is not as expensive as we originally thought and gives you so much more than being an expat in one country.

Good accounting, your are very well organised
Julie says Thank you. 😊❤️
Very impressive, considering it's Europe rather than China or Thailand or Vietnam
Thanks! We thought so too.
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
Great info, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching 😊
Great info.
Thanks for watching and commenting 😁
Good morning happy Monday morning and I hope you having amazing weekend and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you
Thank you for the kind words! We appreciate you watching us. 😊
Great informational video!
Thanks for watching ❤️
Wow! What an incredible life you two have! Thanks for sharing.
❤️ Thanks we appreciate your watching and hearing from you. Glad you liked the video.
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Big thank you for the detailed information! We hope your 2024 itinerary goes smoothly and look forward to following along. Be safe and we may be in touch concerning travel with dogs. Bob & Patty.
Great, look forward to hearing from you about the dogs. Thanks for watching 😁
You always have the best info in your videos! Thanks for sharing & safe travels. (That Citreon is a nice car...something I'll look for when I'm in BG)
Thanks for watching, and yes our Abby has served us well.
Just left Montenegro yesterday, a pleasant surprise!
I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😊
Can't wait to start traveling by car overseas. Thanks for the info
We’re glad to connect you with our German our Bulgarian contacts. Good to hear from you 😁
This was a very informative video, once again. I am curious, when you're traveling around (not at your place in Montenegro), what sort of things do you take with you to help you feel at home? For example, do you have a sort of 'kit' that you keep in our car that you just bring into a new Airbnb each time you move (besides the necessities like clothes, toiletries, etc)? I''m always curious what full time travelers do to make themselves feel at home when they're not at home. I look forward to another video!
Great questions. We actually do pack some special things. The two most important are the mattress topper and 2 feather pillows we like.
We also have a spice kit and kitchen utensil kit as well as one pot and a nice skillet. These are essential since most air, B&Bs provide very little.
You have given me a lot of food for thought on vehicle purchase and corporation. Can you explain what requirements are for a corporation in a country? Also be reaching out soon about health insurance soon as house is sold 😊 thank you for the video, very informative!
I’ll be glad to assist on the insurance when ready. Regarding the car here are our car setup videos:

I just did a rough look at my spending output .au$. 20450 a year. Au$1700 per month. Au$60 per day. My car has roughly cost me 10 Euros a day. Exclude petrol.
I wild camped all thru euro. $5 camping for 5 months in Morocco. Balkans mostly car camping. I eat well. Baguettes cheese salami salads. Soups. Stews. Northern Spain was the best. Balkans and Scandinavia also.
Those are impressive numbers.
What are some of the navigation, insurance and repair tools...that worked for you with your car?
Hi, that was great to watch, I am so interested in how you are keeping your AirBnB costs so low...I am also travelling with my two dogs in my car bought in Switzerland, around Europe and UK since April 2023. I am loving the lifestlye, I am still working online part time, so not yet retired. Where do I find the list of AirBnB's you have stayed in for reference please?
Please email me at warrenjulietravel@gmail.com. I don’t have a list of them on Excel etc, but if there are some specific countries/cities you want, send me a list and I’ll go into my app and send you the links. I’ll also give my opinion on them. I do a very detailed review on every place we stay.
Great video as usual from you with all info, and your channel growing nice thing you schould have a least 100000 subscribers you deserve that, now i am finaly retired at 60 years and in good health me and my wife children are grow up and we want to travel from spring but we need a good car my Audi drive my son and i want something like your is it a Berlingo and how are you satisfied with this car thank you in front.
Great to hear you’re ready to start traveling, and thanks for the compliments. Yes our Citroen Berlingo has served us well, she is diesel and we went with the higher power version.
Some things you mentioned were expensive to me, but on the other hand the MOT and car repairs seem far more affordable than in the states. $2800 a month (excluding the house as you mentioned) that's not bad specially with all the things you're doing, which means a single person who's out and about on an adventure trip should be able to do it on a fraction of the cost.
Without another person and dogs you’ll save on groceries, restaurants, and be more flexible for lower cost lodgings and miscellaneous for sure. You can definitely go less expensive than we do.
I am very curious as to why you didn’t do the corporation in Montenegro since you own a home there. It just seems like it will be much easier logistically. Just curious. Great video. Thank you.
We are actually strongly considering it later this year.
Awesome vlog with great info. My wife and I are currently in Thailand and traveling like you guys in EU. We bought a used car, got a Thai Driver Lic, and using Chiang Mai as our home-base. We are planing to go to EU in the next 6 to 12 months time and plan to spend 4 to 5 years traveling in EU. We really like your setup with the car since we also travel with our dog. Can I ask how you set up your Corp. and if you got a local Driver Lic to drive there. By the time I get there, my International DL will be expired from AAA. Your advice would be much appreciated. Thanks
Wow, you’re driving internationally around Asia? I’m curious to hear those stories. Europe will be a breeze for you in comparison I’m sure. The IDP has to be the biggest scam going, you don’t test for it and it’s only good for one year when issued. We have never shown it since driving our car, but if renting a handful of countries require them Romania, Slovenia and Italy I’ve heard. We also had a person in a rental car going to Romania get asked for it in a rental car and they didn’t have one, they were eventually allowed in. We don’t go back to the US annually to replace them. There is an international company that does them by mail, I may try and do a video on these eventually. Regarding how to get a car without residency anywhere, Here are our Car setup videos:

@WarrenJulieTravel Thank you for the info. When we are ready to leave for EU, I may hit you up for more advice in setting up Corp and buying a car. At the moment, I'm trying to figure out how to manage schengen 180 days. There seem to be enough countries in the eastern side of the EU to jump in & and out, but the UK seems to be the only viable option and not cheap to spend 90+days to reset the 180 days schengen shuffle. Until then, I will continue to enjoy your vlog. 🍻🍻
@@Vagas2012 here is our Schengen shuffle video we made for international Living: ruclips.net/video/fAPTe4bQxQk/видео.htmlsi=97fxJNPn27lrlbwk
I’m assuming you saw our recent Schengen update video already.
@@Vagas2012 Dimitar our attorney in Bulgaria will be your option for a corporation set up there if that’s the direction you want to go.
Gnrl ?? What CC and strategy do you use for traveling outside the US. Yes, there is plenty of CC that have high rewards (points of cash back) for hotels, car rentals, and airfares regardless of where the flight is from/to, but for the rest of the expenses it doesn't work like in the US. No gas or grocery or Pharmacy or many of the other multipliers. Which card have you found that maximises those things??
Chase Sapphire is our favorite credit card to use overseas, you do not have foreign transaction fees, and you don’t pay conversion rates.
Earn 60,000 bonus points with either Chase Sapphire card. I can be rewarded if you apply here and are approved for the card.

@@WarrenJulieTravel Thanks. I have the Amex plat and several others. Do well in the US with the multipliers on everything, but the moment I leave the US the best I can get for anything is 2% cash back outside of the airfare/hotel/car rental.
Just trying to get your perspective, if someone is not into youtube and they do similar kind of traveling that you do, does it get boring at some point? After a certain point or number of years, what do you really do, just driving all over diff places without any objective. In this case, it looks like you have a purpose (may not be main) of making videos, so that keeps you active or refreshed. What is your opinion on this? Thanks.
Interesting perspective and question. If you don’t have one of the following, a wanderlust, a longing to explore and see around the corner, a love of history, an interest in cultures, the nomad life may not be right for you. Not everyone is meant to travel full time, some may still want to settle abroad but maybe not travel. We enjoy our time in Montenegro to see friends and add some of that stability in our lives. A hobby like RUclips does provide purpose though, which is why I started doing it.
@@WarrenJulieTravel Thank you for your thoughts.
Always enjoy tour vids - and thanks for helping us get health insurance! One thing I don't think I heard mentioned was cost for things like sightseeing, admissions, tours, etc. Can you address that, please?
Those costs were included in miscellaneous, we rarely take professional tours. we normally drive ourselves to locations and explore, typically for a fraction of a professional tour. Sometimes we will do a walking tour which may just include a tip to the person providing the tour. The cost for these types of items are quite minor overall. Usually the cost to enter somewhere maybe anywhere from one dollar to $10 a person, for 2023 we may have had $150 in tourism type of cost. In 2024 in Sicily, this month we spent $30 for two of us in January, to go to the Siracusa Archeological park. In Italy, some of the sites are more expensive than you will see in other parts of the continent. There are many cool places to explore that cost absolutely nothing in most countries. When in Montenegro, they are now charging to go up the fortress when it is the Tourist season and ships are in. We have hiked it many times, and not paid a penny. There are also great hiking trails all over Montenegro to explore, one that goes directly behind the fortress is pretty awesome.
Nice video. I am planning to do something similar to yours. Where can I get a car in Europe so that I can travel around ？Do I need to get an international driver license ？
Thanks for watching.

Amateurs. jk 🙂 I averaged 75,000 KM per year in my Kia Soul for 5 years driving around California and a few cross country trips (ie, L.A. to Nova Scotia sleeping in the car in 4F weather in Canada). I once drove 3000KM in two days.
Wow!! That’s an incredible amount of road travel. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video and sharing your travel costs. $2,900 per month for a couple traveling in Europe seems quite reasonable. Congratulations.
I was recently in Cuenca, Ecuador. I met a couple who told me that there monthly spend is ~$1,500 as a couple. They don't own a car or travel like you guys. Instead, they pretty much stay in Cuenca, Ecuador and lead a comfortable lifestyle - furnished apartment, entertainment, restaurants, taxis and an odd trip back to the U.S.
Yes we find that is reasonable in Cuenca. See our expat interviews in this playlist ruclips.net/p/PLkOobSSGsmh5lPTZiYT8gnjrqsV4JtKLq&si=RYat1Q__whdUOGU-
