places are alot different when you have money.
we've done mainly budget travel in both Mexico and Malaysia and loved both countries. You have more experiences open to you if you have more money, but you can certainly enjoy these countries on the cheap.
@@BucketListTravellers
Did you ever stop to think that maybe what you consider .."cheap"...is out of his reach? Dam busy-body😠
Yes only a small portion of the world can enjoy London or Singapore without any financial constrain, malaysia and Moscow are for every budget
I love Asia and Argentina
Despite having traveled to 50 countries around the world, the US and Mexico would still be my top 2 choices even if I was no longer wanting to live in the good ole USA. For my 3rd choice, I’d probably pick another affordable country with nice people. Several SÉ Asia options sound good. Malaysia will be fine I guess.
Great country Serbia, Belgrade as a big European city, lot of job offers , on 2 rivers, night clubs, museums etc .
Rest of country is agricultural miracle , they produce all sorts of fruits and vegetables. Great organic food.
They have beutiful landscapes , Mountains, Rivers, lakes.
People are so nice and welcoming , you can meet English speaking friend on every corner. My big recommendation to visit, live , make a family . Love you from Romania.🇷🇸❤️
I went to Malaysia once for 2 days & fell in love with it. I’ve always wanted to go back. It’s my top 3 as well.
Not in any orders, Malaysia, Panama City/Costa Rica, Vietnam/Philippines.
Definitely Malaysia. It is one of my top 5 places. 2) Portugal, Algarve region. 3) Taiwan.
I second all three except Taiwan: the risk of a Chinese invasion as increased dramatically over these next few years.
Well, Portugal is like a village🙄 but some people like it
Malaysia and Serbia definitely. Indecisive between Italy (Firenze) and south France.
Firenze 😁
After living many years in the US, then in Europe, then in Asia, plus long visits to Africa and Latin America, I finally made my choice of a place to spend the last years of my life.... and I chose Mexico. After almost 15 years and now in my old age, I can safely say that what I get in Mexico is a very high "quality of life". The weather, the culture, the diversity and the food are very attractive. But so are the friendly people, excellent health care, the freedom (yes, I feel oppressed every time I visit the US), the landscapes and the undeniable fact that my savings go a long way in Mexico. Many people in the US ask me if Mexico is safe... strange question coming from a country with daily mass shootings, but my answer to them is: the three times I was mugged in my life, it happened in the US.
How about the cartel? Thank you , no thank you!
What is the best course of action for a non US citizen (with 2 kids) to go on and start living in Mexico? Is the temporary residency fairly easy to get?
@@divineordergovernsmylife808 Call it prejudice, call it whatever you want, but there are two countries in the west I wouldn't be caught death in: Brazil and Mexico. Too much violence going on there. It's a hard pass.
@@divineordergovernsmylife808 Good life only applies to Mexico city. They do not talk about Northern Mexico nor the cartels nor that the government forces have lost to cartels either in battles.
@@djnv4702 Brazil is even bigger, and I'm sure there are places that are very safe, but still. I won't take the chance.
My mother was Austrian. I got to know many of her childhood friends. They were Russian, Polish, Czech and Serbian. I speak both German and Spanish, So.... #1 Serbia #2 Mexico. Thanks for this.
Gday mate!! 🤠👍
From my experience you need at least 2 years to understand if you like to really live in a place. In the beginning you're kind of a long term tourists. It's things like coping with the plumber, going to the doctor, taking the car to the garage, passing time with local friends (not aquaintances, real friends) that make you understand what a place is really like.
Also it depends on one's budget and if you have kids.
I chose to live in Greece because people there are great with children and generally Greeks are very hospitable and friendly. The nature is beautiful and you don't have to pay anything to go to the beach or take a walk in the nature. So even if you don't have much money you can still enjoy the beauty of the place. Also the weather is a plus for me. The islands usually have a lovely breeze in summer and the winters there are milder than on the mainland. The quality of the food in Greece is very good, especially fruits and vegetables are fresh and tasty. Greece is also quite safe, the crime rate is low.
I live in Belgrade and I don't miss the US at all. I've lived on Bali and in Thailand and always missed certain things like western food and bath tubs... Serbia has all of that and everybody is great!
Belgrade over thailand?
@@pverno Everyone likes something different. I would definitely choose Thailand over Serbia!
@@pverno I found I got depressed after awhile in Thailand. I lived there for 1.5 years and was more then ready to move on. I lived in Chiang Mai which I don't recommend... I'd recommend staying in the south near the beach and islands if you were to live there for a year or so. I got tired of the small apartments, electric showers that were never quite right, lack of bath tubs (I like to soak my feet in jungle climates to keep my nails healthy) but it's 99% showers, the alcohol was extremely expensive compared to Vietnam even though I'm not a big drinker I did notice. The beaches are wonderful but I think there are better overall values then Thailand. I think Serbia is one. My toenails don't smell like cheese-it's here.
Isn't Serbia cold? I like your perspective on Thailand... agree.
@@PapayaJoy -15 to +40 degrees celsius over year, so it's both.
Since I now live here permanently, I was delighted to see you choose Mexico from among the 200 countries you have visited and analyzed.
where about in mexico i am pdc
I heard Mexico City has some safe areas and it’s beautiful. But all my American friends say if you go to Mexico you’re going die by the cartels. I guess I just have to take that chance and go. Plus Mexican women are really HOT
@@briang2034 dont watch cnn jeje. Welcome !
@@briang2034 I find Mexican women to be the worlds hottest.
@@briang2034 Your friends obviously have never been to Mexico for a long time. It´s much more dangerous in any medium or big city in the USA to have a personal risky situation, your level of homeless people, drugs consumption are 10x than in Mexico. You should only avoid certain spots in Mexico.
For me:
1- Portugal 🇵🇹 & Italy 🇮🇹
2- Mexico 🇲🇽
3- Malaysia 🇲🇾
Malaysia 🥴🥴🥴
People always dream of living in Italy, until they actually do it and then realize what a nightmare it really is. If you just want to come here on vacation, yes then I would recommend it. Definitely worth it, but living here. Nah.
@@ripley2822 Thanks for your opinion, If I could ask what is the nightmare for you in Italy.
@@realistic-man I live in Italy too and altough i love this country for its culture and people, there are some issues: Too much taxation, both personal income and and bussiness taxes. Lots of bureaucracy and corruption. Inefficiency in public administration. Public healthcare where you have to wait way too much to see a doctor. Slow justice system. It's hard to do business because of too much taxation and regulations.
I´m from Portugal but i hate this country
I have been residing in Southern Albania since September 2020, and I have no plans to return to US. I found you on an Albania Expat group and love your videos. As a US citizen; I have thought several times of renouncing my citizenship. Good to know where I can go when I am ready to make that move.
I was wondering what your opinion is of Abania as a place to live/reside. Its a very raw country and the prices are very low. People here are friendly and I have had more success here with friendships than ever in the US.
Thanks!
Hi Suzette. I'm visiting Albania in September. Any musts sees you can suggest?
we're considering spending part of the year in Mexico. I have visited many times for vacation, different regions and definitely fits the needs in terms of affordability, nice people, great food, weather...as for me, because of my age I've been looking into places like Portugal and Spain for a slower pace of life, but again not all year round. Good videos!
I've been living my young age in Europe, never found a good life nor opportunities.
I arrived in Mexico and at the 3 th day I started a job and was the beginning of a exciting, prosperous life, great people, marvelous land, now my Mexican son wants to explore Malaysia.
I follow with great interest your videos and information. Thanks 🙏
Hi Fr: taxed 2 ,,,d3a+h,,,NYC metro area...luv UR story...
I'm Malaysian who wishes to explore Mexico and some countries in the Caribbean and South Americas. 😊
Sounds awesome !
Totally agree with Malaysia and Mexico!! For Europe, Im not sure.. maybe Estonia or Slovenia.
My favorites include Montenegro, Spain/Portugal and Argentina
Great question and good rationale. My list would be: 1)Malaysia (for the reasons you listed), 2) Puglia, Italy (Italy for the history and food. The South is slower and laid back with great people, but easy access throughout the country), 3) Uruguay (European culture, stability). I do not know Mexico City well. But you are correct about the incredible diversity.
Unfortunately italian taxes are expensive
I was on vacation to Mexico City a couple of years ago. Amazing other than the traffic jams. But the traffic jams are so bad it ruins everything. Imagine gridlock 18 hours a day on most roadways.
Uruguay (European culture, stability)?? what it's European culture? I feel Uruguayans are offended by your description.
Why Puglia?
Our three choices are all in Asia. Japan (3 months because of the difficulty in getting a retirement visa) for the culture, history, food and people. Malaysia 6 months) for the food, the weather and the ease of the Malaysia My 2nd Home program. Singapore (3 months for the same reason) for family and food. Thailand had been on the list, but the new health insurance requirements for entering, along with the escalating unrest and what is essentially a military government changed their status.
I'm Portuguese but still I would put it in my first option, because the only problem I see in Portugal is that we aren't as rich as other europeans countries, the rest! It's just too good, really good food (and WINE!!!), really good people, really good weather, really good beaches, really safe to be around and you can still have the countryside life! But yes... Another 2 countries I would live in if I were rich would be Malaysia and Spain... Even though it's close, it's a really cool place 😂😂😂
Eduardo, Portugal, so safe and lovely.
( Don’t take this personally , it’s based on facts not opinion :
arguably the reason the standard of living is lower than the rest of Europe is that they are so dam lazy) ..
Why do I say that ?
Possibly too many bank holidays, long lunches, wine with breakfast and piss poor productivity…….
@@maxflight777 Hi Max, let me discern between facts and fiction. We do not drink wine at breakfast, our productivity is world acknowledge (as long as we are not under Portuguese management, wich is piss poor. I give you that). We have no natural resources whatsoever and still we are able to be considered a formidable country. No offense taken and you are very much welcome to see how we handle our problems with your own eyes. We take pride of ourselves and of our 1000 year culture. We were invaded, we ruled the world, we were brutalised by dictatorship and War. Yet, or because of that, we still stand strong. Excuse my poor English and hope to see you soon.
I think so, I get good experience in Lisbon and Portu in PL. I love beach there. I choose PL best life and whether in Euro.
Maybe another reason why Portugal may not be as rich as other European countries is the Portuguese wives are more friendly and very appreciative of their husbands?
I wanna move to Porto, I personally think it's the best place on earth and has a lot to offer, however, the rapid decline of population is what discouraging me from considering investment decisions in Portugal.
Greetings from SERBIAN in UK! Nice to hear things from you!
I once took a bus from Mexico City to Acapulco. Breathtaking. I couldn’t believe how beautiful it is.
I agree 1962-2012, but earthquakes were the deal breaker.
What about the drug cartels?
@@autumn_b905 there are more drug cartels in the US but media doesnt talk about it.
But not now, Acapulco.is rated as one of the most dangerous cities on earth. Murder rate not exceeds Chicago, run away....
I know people who took a bus from Veracruz to the US border. A guy with a gun got on and robbed everyone. The bus driver was in on it. I'm telling you the truth.
I went to Malaysia in 2012 and also thought I could see myself living there as well.
Lovely place! Georgetown, Penang is nice.
As someone living in Mexico, I can say it is indeed quite nice. If only crime, corruption, mediocre mindset, and inefficient and inept bureaucracy could be improved, it would become a top tier country.
And Poland is a great country too. Only complaint I have there is the food... it is not bad, but not as great as Mexico or Malaysia.
hiroman, I agree! I love Mexico and 20 years ago was great to spend several month every year, but now after staying some time crime, corruption, and inefficiency gets unbearable... sad,very sad!
Portugal or Spain is my alternative (it allows to travel most of Europe)
@@victorpdiez7688 Yes, I am done with Mexico due to crime. Used to go every year, now I haven't been back since 2001.
@@kristinebailey6554 If that´s the case, you should not live in the US, you know, school shootings, riots and the like
Corruption? tell me more about the USA with 22 trillion in debt, money spend on politicians, the military, and not on citizens. Galaxy level corruption.
@@victorpdiez7688 Corruption? tell me more about the USA with 22 trillion in debt, money spend on politicians, the military, and not on citizens. Galaxy level corruption. Crime? you can not even walk in downtown LA, San Francisco, Seattle, tell me more
Malaysia has been a bliss. Additionally maybe South Korea and Mexico.
We've been pondering where we'd like to live, and Malaysia is pretty high on our list. We travelled around the country in 2018 and absolutely loved it there. We were in Mexico for a month last year and felt like that was a place we could easily return to. There's so much to offer and we agree with your sentiment that you could keep travelling back there and not run out of things to discover. As an alternative to Mexico we also loved Argentina in Latin America.
We're yet to travel extensively through Europe (we were hoping to do that last year, but then Covid happened) but I think Eastern Europe, Portugal or Turkey would be a good third choice.
tq Malaysia in listed
@@stevelee9683.. what do you mean? From what I'm experiencing .. we're doing pretty well here compared to other countries.
I live in Novi Sad (Serbia’s second largest city) and I noticed one interesting thing in the last few years: a lot of people from here have a desire to move to other countries (mostly EU countries like Germany or Austria) and at the same time an increasing number of foreigners are moving to Serbia (including a lot of people from the US). It looks like there are a lot of foreigners that appreciate Serbia more so than natives.
Always, that appears to be the human condition of the grass being greener elsewhere.
The grass is always greener ;)
Serbia needs to reduce regulation and taxes even more. Improve the rule of law. If it moves up the economic freedom rankings, it won't lose so many natives.
becouse the salaries are low.i am from serbia too.most people earn 300 to 400 euros a month.that is the reason people move to the west.and corruption is big
@Independent Rich exactly.
Very interesting! Thank you for all advices. Regards from South Africa!
I absolutely agree that US, UK, Australia etc are not on your list !
This site has made Malaysia my next destination on the wish list
love these sorts of videos where we hear Andrew's definitive opinion on things . I understand Andrew likes to temper his thoughts and qualify his statements to let people know everyone's circumstance is somewhat different.
Yes Andrew is well spoken. But he doesn’t seem like a nightlife guy that likes to chase women and drink and party. It’s good sometimes To let loose and have a good time, but I respect Andrew of how hard-working he is to fulfill his dreams and be financially secure. He’s a legend
I would move to Malaysia for 4 reasons. Diverse cultures, people are very friendly, you can get all kinds of foods, and cost living is manageable.
Malaysians are friendly ? When ? Not as a tourist.
@@krugmeup2162 well, as a tourist no matter where you are , you will get screw in any countries.
@@wt8151 not true at all
Hi malaysian here. Generally, from hundreds of youtube videos that I watched, most tourist are happy with our hospitality. Sorry for your bad experience, there are always bad people everywhere.
@@krugmeup2162 in do
Twenty years ago I retired and after pre-planned research trips visiting many places from Pacific islands to Turkey and from US northern border to Colombia passing through Florida and the Keys ~ decided to move to Mexico. I reevaluate every year! ... and I am still here in Mexico. Travel in Winter in Mexico, travel to the US in Summer to visit family and the rest of the world in Spring and Fall. Do not let the sensationalist news headlines cloud your judgement. Mexico is a big country, all climates present from tropical beaches and jungles to great forests, snow capped mountains and great deserts and plains. Many ancient and modern cultures. Immigrants from all over as it was the center of the world trade for 300 years. See history of the dollar ! Rich history and many native cultures and archeological sites. Friendly people and great food. Paradise is not perfect but it is still paradise.
Entertaining video! 👏👏👏 My choices Malaysia... Peru and Portugal
I agree with all three. Mexico has so much to offer and I love Serbia for both city life and the rural areas are remarkable. It's so easy to get to know people and develop relationships in Mexico and Serbia. I'm loving Slovenia currently.
I started to follow you today and I your advice is great... Thank you for your videos. greatings from Chihuahua.
You're welcome, Diego.
@@nomadcapitalist do you have any videos where you address or breakdown the possibilities (advantages, disadvantages) of choosing to move+live in a place like Brazil? I mean other than the one video you did about having a baby in brazil (that's how I found the channel btw).
But from what you know, is the economy poised for an up swing..?
I'm colombian and I totally agree with your choice regarding to live in Mexico. Amazing country.
For me it's the Czech Republic (here currently), probably Malaysia and then Colombia or Panama
My three countries are Malaysia, Georgia, Czech
Not yet visited Mexico but would love to. Portugal and Malaysia are wonderful countries and totally agree with you about those two.
I've traveled to many places but Mexico blew my breath away!
Hi beautiful
What cities did you like the most and would suggest living in?
I’m in Mexico now and completely agree with your evaluation and bite of approval. Other countries on our radar, worth what added consideration of their novid policies, are Nicaragua and Georgia. Though Georgia has taken a negative turn in this particular instance.
Nicaragua looks amazing despite being communist. Can't be any worse than Canada is now! I have heard you can live on $600 US a month in Nicaragua no problem. I am looking at fleeing Canada as a refugee and looking at Nicaragua because I'm not that well off.
I'm from Mexico, also a US citizen. My top would be Mexico, Portugal, and Malaysia or Thailand. Everytime I meet people who have traveled around the world 80% plus of them say Mexico is the best.
What about the crime and cartels? Is not safety the priority. It is a beautiful country. Did not feel safe there at all.
Why is the US media always say Mexico is bad ? I love this planet but boy is their secrets and alot of shady government propaganda
Portugal, Finland and Malaysia.
Finland a bit too cold for me!
Im a South East Asian, I support Malaysia for one of your choice, the country is developed, the multicultural people are nice, the language easy, cheap life, etc.
Spring/Summer-France. Fall-England. Winter-Bahamas or Switzerland.
Hidden Gems I guess she never really understood the whole tax aspects of why he chose his countries..
Have you been in France lately?...or Do you know somebody that grew up over there???... definitely it’s not the place that it used to be... go first as a Tourist and make your own opinion
@@henrik4438 I've chosen to live south of France, and I'd still choose it again, over most of the world. There are ways to manage tax - legally is possible. Just takes a bit of time and consideration.
@@xqp5503 Hi Fr:NYC metro area...I totally agree, France is NOT the France I once knew....ppL ....yuk....
Thanks for sharing, valid points for sure! I’d choose Canada, Malaysia and Byblos, Lebanon:). My dads bestie moved to Malaysia 20yrs ago for the same points you mentioned:)
Canada is a totalitarian state right now, a big prison, from which I am trying to escape.
You nailed it on the head as to why there are soooooo many Aussie backpackers, English teachers and expats all over the world.
Portugal, Spain, Italy I don’t want to spent too much time flying
1. Malaysia. THANK YOU. Great weather except maybe during the monsoon (Oct to Dec). Easy to learn language (Bahasa Malaysia) but we do learn English as a Secondary Language.
Malaysia , Bagus. Salamot Sore

Interesting choices. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching!
I have been in only 8 countries and Malaysia is awesome . People are nice and warm thats very important for me . Food is amazing , nice weather .
For me it is the Netherlands, France, and Japan. I love the Dutch way of life and cities. France is a massive country I enjoy visiting frequently to different parts of it (keep in mind that France has a lot of old colonial overseas territories, so I am exploiting this for vacations in the pacific, South America, North America, and more). Japan is also a big country I love, with many friends and family from there.
I feel like I'm going to vommit with that list
@@redx11x you can tell he’s not a high-earner individual. Those are some of the countries with the highest income tax and the ridiculous inheritance/gift tax.
I’m already on the Mexico path, so I like to here that’s your choice as well! Portugal seems to be next on my list, and then south east Asia I’ve never been, but I like the idea as well! As a motorcycle traveler I feel like those continents would give me access to the world
Interesting Whats mexico like for riding motorcycles?
@@rift5980 haven’t ridden much yet in Mexico, just working on some business stuff at the moment! As soon as I’m there more there I’ll find out :)
I have been live in Vietnam, Malaysia, and the Philippine and I agree that Malaysia is the best out of these three countries but Vietnam has the best weather climate out of these three countries. Currently, I reside in Boston, back in 1992 I drove across the United States.
Do you recommend any Malaysian restaurants in Boston? I love Cambodians food and find great restaurants in Lowell Mass.
@@synewparadigm We have one Malaysian Restaurant in Chinatown Boston by the name Penang restaurant, and one Cambodian restaurant name is The Elephant Walk South End.
Which part of Vietnam? I guess its very different from place to place
Can you get strawberries& apples etc at markets there? I want to relocate to scuba on Weh island.Also love elephants, would enjoy working sanctuary..🤗
Thanks for all the time you talked about Malaysia. It made me very interested.
South Africa is also on my checklist of places I want to discover.
Malaysia spent 5 years there it was heaven
Are u sure???
Hi
I like the 3rd choice Andrew haha, and definitely would be one of my top 3 choices for countries!
Looks like you come here regularly!
And what would be the other 2?
Malaysia..mexico..serbia..did it myself
Serbia is great but a bit drab and too cold in winter. I spent a few weeks there with a choice to work there.
@@utualan Serbia in the summer, Malaysia or Mexico in fall/winter
@@adam3504 indeed, an option for some people
If anyone watches his videos this was predictable.
Most fascinating video and love all the comments - also enlightening! 👍🏼
Mexico would most definitely be on my list of three places to live! More specifically-Isla Mujeres Mexico
Secondly I would choose Okinawa the people are wonderful and it has such a rich history and culture and they are so respectful.
The third place would most likely be Dubai in the UAE.
Agreed. I lived on Okinawa for 2 years and loved it. However, the dollar gets crushed against the Yen. I was 245 Yen to the dollar when I was there.
The United Arab Emirates where I live now. Then Thailand (specifically Hua Hin) where I have a condo at Black Mountain. And maybe Portugal where they have some awesome golf courses.
Never like UAE, great place if you have an open wallet or a good business, but as someone who grew up and lived in Qatar, it felt very soul-less during my visits. Would love to hear about your experiences there.
Love your choices!
Thank you Juan!
I'd choose Colombia, Portugal and Malaysia. Haven't been to Malaysia yet but your videos have convinced me lol
I think you made excellent choices. I was surprised at your command of the many variables that must be considered and weighed.
Thanks, Norm.
Malaysia is best for food, natural attractions and cultural diversity.
Agree!
I don’t like snow and bitter winter. So I would like to stay in Malaysia Malaysia and in Mauritius in 3 rd place !! Thank you for nice informative videos !!

1. Malaysia
2. Mexico
3. Serbia
4. Georgia

@@sunflowerhk100 i just listed what the Nomad Capitalist, Andrew Henderson, said in his video. He mentioned that New Zealand and Australia were not interesting enough if he had to pick only 3 countries.
My God! I am shocked by the ignorant comments here. You are either too young or plane stupid. Have you ever left your English speaking country on in the case of that Quebecker broken French speaking region? This comes from a guy has has travelled the world. How about you?
Our choices are very similar - Mexico, Thailand and Serbia
Italy (still sunbathing in the south in December !!), Sri Lanka (cheap, friendly, english-speaking, culturally fascinating and great beaches/surfing) and Indonesia (enormous variety of everything !!). This is my life....or at least it will be once they let us back in again !!!
Indonesia used to be my second home and especially great for 40+ expats in the 90's.
What COVID bs rules in Italy? Masks and lockdowns?
I'm thinking of Weh Island,Off Borneo to scuba & elephants, orangutans sanctuary!🤔
Very interesting! I am headed to Serbia this year..for love..but I am happy to see it is one of your choices!
I LOVE YOU ❤️
Great info thanks. Exiting life you have.
Andrew, have you rated all of the interesting countries according to all of the criteria (food, climate, culture, health care, taxes, etc) that someone might consider? if so, we could then select the criteria that matters to us and see which countries rank highest according to that criteria. Thanks. I really enjoy your channel.

I have a friend who has been in many countries that I haven't been in, and he remarked that he liked Malaysia very much. To put it in the rather simplistic way he did, he said there are three main groups of people: Chinese, Indians and Malays. He said the Chinese basically run most things, the Indians do most of the physical labor, and the Malays, knowing they have a good situation, tend to avoid causing any conflict, and enjoy the situation. If this is true, it's probably more so in the Peninsula although he had visited East Malaysia.
I recall reading a comment (although I don't recall whether it was from Malaysia or Indonesia) regarding the Muslims and attitudes toward other religions that went "this isn't the Middle East" meaning that different groups were accepted and the Muslims weren't antagonistic toward other groups, and religious terrorists/extremists weren't an issue there.
I'm a biologist, and Malaysia has a lot of plants and insects I would like to study.
Worth a visit - may I recommend Borneo?
Am a Malaysian but live out of Malaysia since 20 years ago. I had been to almost all of the countries in SEA including HK, China, Japan.... comparatively Malaysia is the best. Not sophisticated, low density population, still green-nature, fresh air, very peaceful, and relatively low cost of living. Well, not a rich country so to speak but it has everything for a comfortable loving.
So interesting! I understand Malaysia. I would have chosen Colombia, but I haven't spent much time in Mexico. I would have chosen Georgia (or even Portugal) before Serbia (too much smoking would drive me a bit crazy after a while). I would be interested in hearing your thought maybe in another video about why you chose Mexico over Colombia and Serbia over Georgia (or the Baltics). Great video!
Love your insights!! Thanks
I'm listing mine before I hear yours; Mexico, Czech Republic, and Thailand.
top picks!
Totally understand Malaysia and Serbia, Mexico is a country I have never been. As soon as we can travel again would like to visit!
In major tourist areas i see a bit more safety in MX, but outside those areas the crime and corruption are among the worst in the world. I love MX and lived there 4 yrs. Pres AMLO has made everything worse. In 4 yrs I'll consider MX again after he leaves.
@@armmacd3325 most of the country is wilderness... Plenty of safe places.
@@felixfelix2576 I strongly disagree. I have traveled a lot of MX. You get off the path in Chiapas, Michocan, Puebla, Oaxaca, Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, Coahuila, Chihuahua, Sonora, Baja California, Sinaloa, Jalisco, Tabasco, Vera Cruz pretty much any where in the country and you could easily be getting into the territory of some people who will quickly dispose of you so you can not say where the fields of drugs are, where the processing areas are, where other underground people are staying or doing things are. Most of them have cameras and other high tech things to quickly tell if anyone trespasses in their areas. MX has gotten into some seriously bad times.
@@armmacd3325 I strongly disagree with your limited view on the country. Mexico under AMLO's leadership has become stronger and more prosperous. It's a better country now than it used to be when the PRI/PAN were in power. Thanks to AMLO Mexico is on path to a great future.
@@enriquecruz6816 How many reporters have fled the country to save their lives due to threats from this current administration? How many people have been killed through out the country each year over the last 20 years? Article today I read in the WSJ was telling of the amlo administration changing rules to confiscate investors property and money in Mexico while paying a small amount. If you think Castro did good to Cuba and Chavez did good to Venezuela, then you will think amlo is good for Mexico. Classical political brainwashing while continuing to destroy the economy and people's lives. how has that airport fiasco turned out? amlo has become a dictator whose party controls the congress and they pass what ever destructive idea that amlo has. Stronger and more prosperous?? only for the few that are directly benefited by this govt. my family in Mexico has had a lot of benefits taken away. there's nothing good about amlo and his Administration.
Since 1990, I've worked or lived in 40 countries and now have a short list of where I want to live permanently as I plan to split my time between Asia and Europe starting in 2023. Malaysia is definitely at the top of my list but not year-round. I'm also looking at spending a few months in Portugal and Serbia and if I can afford it, Lyon France.
Malta, Sebia, Malaysia for me. UK is great for business but living there is just terrible. Estonia would be in the running if their govt of 5 years ago was still in power.
"UK is great for business but living there is just terrible." Why is everyone saying this? The weather?
@@danavram8437 I lived in London for 4 years. It was just a low quality of life based on what I was paying, along with 40% tax rate. I'm sure other cities in the UK I would have been comfortable in.
Pretty good selection, very difficult to better that trio
Mexico City...possibly the most underrated place I’ve ever been. Love it.
I agree, I had a good time there at Zocolo and outside the city in Teotihuacán.
Its an armpit, amigo. Put down the bottle.
Mexico City for sure Still traveling and haven’t made it to all of the places that I’d love to see so I can’t decide on two and three yet. Thank you
Loooooove Malaysia. Miss it. Currently preparing to move to Taiwan.
Have fun!
You are so beautiful dear
French Polynesia, thailand, canary islands.
Can you do a video on how someone could test the waters of living in a new country? Do you go live there for a month in an Airbnb rental? What about understanding difficulty situations like political unrest or natural disasters that the country might be prone to.
Way to go nomadcapitalist!!! Never been prouder being a Malaysian! TERBAIK!!!
Thanks for the videos.
Glad you like them!
Good call on Mexico. Going to Riviera Maya again in a few weeks..
Me2 on the 18th.
we're going back there too to celebrate a BD, I feel like in jail in the US right now. there's nothing to do.
@@sylvegas let me know if you'll be in playa del Carmen or isla mujeres 🎶🏖
@@danielj3010 I will go to isla Mujeres for a day
I left Seattle WA in 1995 came to KL and have never looked back. Now I"m on MM2H probably like yourself. Bought a great place to live in Bangsar South. PM me if you want trade ideas. Haven't been back to Seattle or the USA in 8 years no love loss for sure.
Wow. Interesting
What’s KL and MM2H?
@@davidramirez4810 KL is Kuala Lumpur Malaysia and MM2H is "Malaysia my second home"
You mentioned you have a house in Colombia. Most ex-pats select Puerto Rico, Mexico, Costa Rica, or Ecuador but Colombia is a bit more hard-core - it has tougher immigration rules relative to Costa Rica and Ecuador.
Vancouver, BC, Canada, Vienna, Austria, and Florence, Italy/Lisbon, Portugal.
Uruguay, Poland, & Singapore.
What city in Poland? I've heard forigners likes Cracow, is that so?
Poland sound nice...
Been to Poznan & Kracow - had a great time, good infrastructure and reasonably priced.
@@dindi6986 Krakow, Gdansk, Wroclaw - I have not seen more beautiful cities and I have traveled. San Fran is a dump by comparison.
Been following you for years..you are most intriguing...would chose Mexico..Switzerland..Dubai..ty for your RUclips's..
I think you should change MX especially during Pres AMLO and this pandemic.
Your the only other person I have met who gets the idea of seasonal travel to different countries
I love malaysia.. and mexico.. i would live in Colombia tho.. i am planning on moving there in a few months ❤️
Really nice place Sara😊
I'm really interested in why you would choose Colombia. Mind sharing?
@@NibrocNod I am currently living here.. I have a lot of reasons.. I want to learn Spanish and the country is beautiful. I have a channel you can check out some of my videos.. but nothing that is related to a specific reason other than I feel at home here.
I see Andrew. I click. I watch. .... and I press the Like button to help him out
He doesn’t need help, he’s an 8 figure entrepreneur. He’s doing this for fun.
@@Elemental1331 Thanks - so he also doesn't need your help speaking on his behalf.
@@Elemental1331 no he isn't doing this for fun. This is a commercial for his business.... Don't be naive.
I’ve always had a fondness for Vietnam. I have lived in Colombia & enjoyed it. So many places... 🤔
I am Malaysia. I personally think it is good to have incomes out of Malaysia and stay here because The living cost is low due to its currency. Geographically Malaysia is safe from natural disaster. It would be nice if I can work from other country with high pay salary and settle down in Malaysia
So no earthquakes or tsunami in Malaysia??
@@SI-ln6tc Yeah no earthquake or tsunami, though some part of the country may face flood sometimes...and add to that summer all year round!!
@@SI-ln6tc the only advice for u ,if u reach an airport in Malaysia,do not hold bags from strangers if u r asked so,smuggling illegal substances is punishable by life sentence.....
@@SI-ln6tc , No natural disaster, it is a peninsula with a mountain range in the centre and ocean on both side.
@@marwanmarwan515 , Drugs more than 1 kg , death penalty ( I support that, the misery it cause to human beings, capital punishment should be a deterrent)
I am moving back to my home town of Belgrade after 30 years of living in NYC. I will miss my winter escapes to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico!
nadam se da nisi zaboravio jezik :)
@MANSQUITO ...but Belgrade rocks!!
