      I think prioritizing countries based on pure travel; extended stay (2-4 months) and a third scenario regarding staying for long-term retirement would be 3 good categories that each can be divided-, so I believe the sub-categories would be different for eachof the three groups. You could set 2 levels, maybe a $30 or 40k? annual USD budget and another up to $75k or ?? Something not too high... Maybe ask your viewers. People living on $100K USD plus retirement can figure it out their own budget...

    This is a fantastic video! I've been to 80-something countries (exact number depends on whether you count Taiwan, Kosovo, etc...), and I get this question all the time. My answer is usually that it depends on what day you ask me. But your categorization approach is much better, and actually does a reasonable job of answering the question without having to commit to a single place. My current all-around-favorite spot is Bali. While there are other places that easily beat Bali in a single category, Bali just does everything well, and there isn't anything that it does poorly. So Bali is tops for me. I'm also a huge fan of both Buenos Aires and Rio, at least when the exchange rates are in my favor! And you've given me a couple new spots to check out - Bansko and Osa Peninsula here I come.

      Bansko is very popular with digital nomads because of the wonderful community built by Coworking Bansko, and also because of the gorgeous mountains and the low cost of living. Many nomads go there in winter to ski after work, but it's also full of nomads in summer, when the hiking crowd descends on the Pirin Mountains. I spent a summer there and can't wait to do it again next year.

      this is an outstanding/insight video. really is, overall. one aspect that has to be weighed/evaluated is each nation's govt. that can be, actually, hard to do. some of the "2nd" world (per say) nations have an ease to them that is wonderful/and you know thee will not be (unless you cause them) and "issues" (and not only with a visa).
      i lived in miraflores for almost two yrs. wonderful. and "peru" is thumbs up. they will not mess with you/with visa.
      i would be (cautious) of indonesia. i worked in asia (though not Indonesia). although if you have presented "retirement" visa docs. etc. you should be OK.
      at the end of the day remember: you are not an "american" citizen living in XYZ nation only.
      that nation's laws apply to your completely. knowing the "theme" and practices of each nation is helpful in considering (all) the above information on food, costs, beach, ect.

    Hi Kristin! I am also intrigued by the history of Europe, WW1, WW2, and the inter-war period - when my parents were born in Lithuania. Basically, if WW2 did not happen my siblings and I would not exist, because our parents would have never met in Montréal - as they did in 1949. They were born and grew up in opposite corners of Lithuania - my mother in the northeast, not far from the Latvian border; my father’s village in southwestern Lithuania was adjacent to the border of Poland.
    Both escaped from Lithuania just in time in 1944, with the retreat of Nazi Germany and the re-advance of Soviet Russia. My father would end-up in a DP (Displaced Persons) camp in the American Zone near München, while my mother would end up in a DP camp in the British Zone near Hamburg. My ‘bucket list’ historical exploration in Germany includes reliving the respective journeys of my parents, from their home villages in their native Lithuania to their DP camp destinations in Allied-occupied Germany. Of course, their respective DP camps no longer exist, but I still want to explore both localities.

We all knew about each other during Soviet times, but we would not meet until the early 1990s. The sad news is that that my parents and their siblings in Lithuania and Canada have all passed away in recent time.
      In short, our family elders are all gone now; there is no one left to help us to 'connect all the dots' with our family histories. Key learning: Ask questions now - while family elders are still with us, and document / record the rich family histories that elders can share with us.

    Just discovered your channel through your comments on Sorelle Amore's finance channel. After watching 3 of your videos, I had to subscribe. This video was the pivot point. You offer experiential content with balanced critical commentary. I am much older than you, and quite envious - and also grateful - for the opportunities for remote work and creative monetization through RUclips. As a low-income retiree, who wants to travel and live abroad to experience other cultures, I really appreciated your thoughtful, experience-based assessments. The one thing I find absent on most channels like yours is the evaluation of living outside the major cities. I realize the "data" are mostly from major cities, I wast to travel/live in more remote, rural areas, so looking for content that addresses that. Anyway, thank you for what you are offering and best wishes.

    Lived in Peru for five years and I'd argue it's wayyy overrated. Then again it's also true that actually living in a place (and working, paying taxes, having kids and sending them to school, renting actual apartments and not just Airbnbs, dealing with trash pickup or lack of, and electricity/water or lack of, safety and security or lack of, etc) is very different than backpacking or traveling through a place as a tourist. But the food is amazing so that part of the hype is correct.

    I have not been to many of the places, but I have to agree that Vancouver is a great city (albeit pricey). I love the parks, sky train, and buildings. And there is so much good food. I also enjoyed Costa Rica. I've seen so many awesome animals and plants there. There are so many great places in the world.

    Have you surfed in Fuerteventura Canary Islands? There’s a huge surfing community there. And most recent trip was there - the Canary Islands of Spain were my favorite destination so far - adventure, good food, quality of life, nature, blue ass water, friendly locals. each island was so different too. It’s hard to put into words.

    Vancouver and Canada again prominently displayed as a Quality of Life choice. Excellent. Romance, Amalfi MAY be cliche but it is for a reason. It is an amazing place. I would return in a heartbeat. Funny that Paris wasn't included for Romance. The food, the wine, the history, the sites! Stanley Tucci would agree about Italy for food. A pomegranate changed your life? Hmmmm.... WWII, Normandy France is moving and remarkable. Some great suggestions here. More to add to the list.

    About friendly Nicaraguans. My sister married and divorced a Nicaraguan, but still friends with her ex-in-laws. I got to meet them the last time I traveled to Puerto Rico where they now reside and I have to say that I could read their aura right away as some of the friendliest and humblest people I have met. I never met them before and now I'm looking forward to go back and meet them again.

    Kristin: Hooray! (Fist pump) Vancouver is my home town. I still live with Mom and Dad and my childhood friend, Gizelle, lives with us as a university student at the same campus as myself(UBC). In our neighborhood is famous Canadian singer songwriter, Sarah McLachlan ("Surfacing" album) and "X-Files" star Gillian Anderson, because her daughter is Vancouver born while she was filming the series here. Arnold Schwarzenegger, is here too, but I haven't seen him at the local supermarket yet. My favourite place outside of Canada would be my pre-pandemic trip to the Island of Capri off Italy's coast. Coming in a close second would be Shenzhen, China...because it is so incredibly safe and totally crime free and rent is sort of cheap. Always looking out for your episodes when they get posted. Much love ♥️ Diane, Vancouver, Canada.

    • @dianefeinstein8951
      @dianefeinstein8951 3 года назад

      @@TravelingwithKristin Ha-ha. Yeah...Capri is sort of like Honolulu. Interesting you should mention avoiding Capri because of its overcrowding. There's a paradox to all this. I read in a Frommers Guide to Hawaii before going there with Mom and Dad, when Arthur Frommer wrote "...people tell me, 'nobody goes to Waikiki anymore because it's too crowded'." By the way, Arthur Frommer is still doing his thing today at 92 yr old! That's what travelling does to you, I think. It makes you live longer and staying healthy while at it. If you ever go, my parents preferred to eat at the Ristorante Panorama. The view from its patio is as the name implies, but the portions of food...for me...is agonizingly small in an anorexic kind of way. When I am off on my own I prefer the larger portions of Ristorante Pizzeria Lo Zodiaco. Equally stunning views with a generously sized bowl of their Gnocchi Alla Sorrentina in front of me to stuff my face with. In Honolulu, we stayed at the 120 yr old Moana Surfrider(pronounced "Moe-Anna") on Kalakaua Avenue(pronounced by the locals as "Ka-Lah-Cow-Whah")and ate next door at the all-you-can-eat super buffet of the Sheraton Waikiki's Ocean Terrace Restaurant. Pay one price and me and my best female friend, Gizelle, ate until we couldn't walk! There was this one young couple who refilled five times until they just stared at each other giggling while rubbing their oversized bellies...now that's the way to eat! Uh huh-uh huh.(reference to K.C. and the Sunshine Band. I am only 21 yr old...but discovered I have this thing for disco music from the 1970's)The price also includes unlimited ice cream squirted into cones. Three of the Moana Surfrider Hotel's famous guests were one, Samuel Clemens(pen name Mark Twain) whose literary works included The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Two, Joseph Conrad, who was a novelist/gun smuggler; famous for his novels Lord Jim, later made into a movie starring Peter O'Toole, and Heart of Darkness, which was made into the famous Vietnam War movie, Apocalypse Now.And three, Johann Strauss Jr., whose waltz compositions included "The Beautiful Blue Danube" and "Tales of the Vienna Woods." My great great grandfather also stayed there in his travels as a merchandise buyer for Sears and Roebuck of Chicago. The Moana Surfrider was constructed around a giant 200 yr old Banyen Tree. Every evening hundreds of birds, the descendants of generations and generations would perch on the Banyen branches and listen to a pianist play through classics, waltzes, and famous Broadway tunes as the hotel guests dined underneath its ancient canopy. If you go, book into the Diamond Wing or the Tower Wing. The Historic Wing or original 120 yr old front section of the Moana has lots of history, but it's antique toilets were not designed for modern waste and thus, frequently clogged. Maintenance will come over and unclog it with a plunger...then stand there and wait for you to tip them. At least once per day. So on our subsequent trips there to the historic wing, I'd buy a cheap $3.50 toilet plunger from Wal-Mart in Canada, then use it at least once per day while there. I'd just leave it next to the toilet as a donation to the hotel when we checked out. Whoops! I'd gone on yapping too long! It's just that I enjoy connecting to you so much that I forget I am rambling along about the need to pack a new toilet plunger (disassemble rubber plunger from wood stick prior to oacking)for trips. Love your content and your style and just who you are.

    Hey Kristin, I have been enjoying your videos, just finished watching your costa rica video, and you did a good job of selling the place, it has caught my attention...I have been to London, northeast england, Paris, Germany, Belgium and Canada....Eastern Europe, particularly, Prague and Hungary, are of interest to me and Amsterdam, then Rome...If I could see those places, then I would be satisfied....I love Paris, but I know it's probably cheaper to live in Costa Rica than in Paris ...I also like Colombia, that place intrigues me...
