That was a great interview, really got Dan to relax and reveal. Never saw Paul's channel before, but I follow Dan and Qiang Hui. But jeez, Paul has a lot of cranky rude trolls.
Do as I do guy - ignore the trolls , seemingly they are jealous of Paul's success and popularity. I call them bottom feeders or ambulance chasers. They hope to lessen Paul's subscribers / viewers and steal them. Once you have Old Dog, he's a keeper!
That's a nice way to put it. I started on the internet in '93 with AOL and I learned quickly that everyone is a keyboard warrior with no threat back. Life's too short to be critical of others/yourself.
Great interview. Also enjoy watching the interview on his channel. Not really sure about doing you tube but would enjoy traveling the world. I want to travel and enjoy other cultures with my wife of 30+ years. Thanks for making these videos.
Two important things I learned from Vagabond Awake: 1. Your not in Kansas anymore Dorothy. 2. When you go to a foreign country don’t walk around and show off your wealth. You’re just putting a huge target 🎯 on your back. I have to thank Dan for this. Learn from people who have the most experience.
You don't have to show off wealth 🤑 in USA to have a target 🎯 on your back, with 2 massive terrorists attack's (mass shootings by media) per Day, it's just a matter of "when" the bullet goes in ones back
No kidding. You guys are two of my favourite vloggers! Have been following you both separately for a number of years now. So cool when the moon and the stars line up and two guys like you get together and mesh so smoothly. So fun to watch. Thanks Dan for sharing earlier parts of your life I wasn't aware of.
I agree and equally appreciative of learning of his early exploits. I admire his decisions to pull the trigger at an earlier stage of his life rather then procrastinate like most of us old dudes. He and Paul wake each day with hope and adventure.
@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234 I appreciate, admire and respect others who share many of the sensibilities, principles, morals and ethics. More in the past than now ( sadly ) the concept of INTEGRITY is how a man was viewed. I can relate to you Paul because you seem to possess all of the above in a sense that is relative to most. Plus you have a sense of humor, love to laugh and still may have some rough edges. Stay safe and enjoy your new chapter with Mae and the pooch.
@vagabondawake great info/story. All the power is in the curve balls and wrinkles of life. Great simple questions, Paul Old Dog!! I find the origin and path to glory stories, because they show the obstacles and thought process, are incredibly valuable.
In Dumaguete, a lively place to be, Lived an old expat named Paul, full of glee. He dreamed of fame, a life that’s grand, As a runway model, strutting through the land. With his weathered face and silvery hair, Paul set out on a mission, without a care. He practiced his poses, his catwalk so fine, Hoping one day his name would truly shine. But the locals couldn’t help but chuckle and grin, For Paul was a character, a bit of a whimsical spin. He’d strut through the streets, all confident and bold, With flair and flamboyance, a sight to behold. He’d strike a pose, arms in the air, Smizing and pouting, with a confident flair. The passersby would pause and stare, Amused by Paul’s audacious modeling affair. Oh, Paul, the expat with dreams so vast, In Dumaguete, he was an icon, unsurpassed. Though his runway dreams may seem quite odd, He brought laughter and joy to this coastal squad. So let’s celebrate Paul, the aspiring runway king, His spirit and enthusiasm, a delightful fling. In Dumaguete’s heart, forever he’ll be, The eccentric expat we all fondly see.
I've been subscribed and watching since the beginning. I must say, Paul, you look a lot healthier and better than you did when you started. The Philippines is good for the health and the soul 👍
I am also cut from the same cloth as you guys.Totally fine with my own company.Ultimately if your not,it can make life difficult,as we do spend a reasonable time on this planet in our own space and thought's.Self love is not nacissistic its essential for mental health.Watched both interviews,highly entertaining.Well done guys❤❤ 27:40
Hi Paul, Mark here again I was able to Watch both video's and it was like looking in a mirror . I've always said if you're looking for answers just look in any mirror . You have done it and still have the t-shirt. Keep up with keeping it real. Baby Mae is a one in a million or maybe 2.:)
Dan and his partner an awesome couple.watched alot of his videos full of infos,insight s for travelers n those who intend to immigrate to another country.🙏🙏🙏
Paul I love your channel!! Man you crack me the hell up!! You should have been a comedian!! Keep up the great work I always look forward to your straight talk and no nonsemse approach!! Keep 'em coming I will be watching!!
I loved this interview! I’ve been following Dan’s RUclips channel for several years now. I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Dan, a while back, to talk about visas in Thailand which, as Dan said, can be complicated. I left the US for Thailand in 2017. I visited the US last month but have no intentions of living there again. Dan - you managed to reveal more about yourself and your life observations and philosophy than I’ve heard before. It was great to hear about this in more depth.
Hey, this is for Dan. I just viewed one of your videos where you interviewed a expat via phone 3 yrs ago. I initially found common ground with him when I 1st. arrived here in the islands. I ventured out and spent nearly 4 days at considerable expense, in hopes to break bread with him. Once I got to his meet & greet ( late) the only contact I had with him was a brief handshake and a photo to confirm to his viewers that he had a good turn out. I feel that when our eyes locked, he sensed that I knew what time it is - he ignored me then avoided me for the next several days even though I stayed in a hotel just 5 min. from his home. The entire period that I was at his event, he and his bruthas socialized and furthered their facade of being such humanitarians to the filipino community with their charity and compassion that almost called them out. Back in the states, these guys own kind call them players. Women of their own ethnicity don't put up with them. They all had ONE thing on their minds - exploit the naive women of the Philippines. They degrade women and see them as ( female area of their anatomy ) but grudely use the slang word widely used in their circles. Even in recent videos he professes to keep his women in check simply when the bedroom activity starts to wain is to just look at other women and she will straighten up real quick. I believe he has fathered 5 children total and currently 2 are in the Philippines. He is still married to a Black woman in the states that he refers to as FAT SHIRLEY and is non supportive of. He has the latest living with him with the girlfriend/mother who they call Boobie. In past videos if the child enters the room while he is vlogging, he gets impatient and summons his girlfriend. In one instance he warns his girlfriend not to get pregnant again but to service him ( he boasts) up to 5 times daily. It's that smirk he has on his face that most viewers might miss that assures me that he is a fraud. Local Filipi os are on to his kind and are having the NBI investigate him for Philippine moral violations. They hope to have him jailed/deported. I'm NOT racially prejudice but will not condone masogeny. There is what's named the Passport Bros. emerging rapidly in the islands and they encourage and coach how to prey on the Filipina. Again, all that I'm posting is my opinion and and personally witnessed. You take it from there. I don't want to see your upstanding reputation as a accomplished vlogger tainted nor your partner disrespected. For what it's worth. Take care, be safe and happy.
Dan's the man who got me interested in perhaps seeking a retirement in the lovely Southeast Asia areas. Dan if this does happen I will have to meet you and buy you whatever beverage you like. You are the man!
I absolutely agree He is a wealth of knowledge and has the experience of being there - not as a typical tourist or expat but one who adapts and accepts what is foreign to him. He's very diplomatic and personable. Never rude and very respectful to everyone. His travel mate is the icing on the cake. She is a very beautiful woman. Quite the Ambassador of Asia. I've never seen a 6' Asian woman. Blessings to you both...
@@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234 I will never again be able to return to the Philippines due to health and age, but I truly enjoy following your Vlogs.
I want to be like you when I grow up... well I'm getting a late start - I was born in 1955'! Go ahead and chuckle, or I should say "" feel free to join me" for a good laugh. I'm in transition as we speak and I'm putting on my Big Boy pants and on the move. I'm now labeled a expat from the good ol' USA, California to be more specific. Watching Paul and David are inspirational and have helped me make sense of things. They've also helped me to make some gut changes that I've been on the fence about. Kudos to you both for you charitable insights that may help others.
Hello brother I just saw you on Dans channel and really enjoyed your interview so I popped over to your channel. I like the videos where a couple of Americans get together and give advice.
Dear Paul, love your positive videos, bringing honest conversations to crazy people like me. Stay strong and I wish endless blessings upon you thru Christ’s endless LOVE. Maybe I’ll pass thru someday. Vaya Con Dios!
I saw your video Paul and your retirement mathematics had gone a long way with fulfillment I believe. It's really the choice and taking the risks. You're inspiring a lot. More fun ahead to both of you 😊
The two guys I love and have learned so much from their RUclips videos for years. 😂❤🎉and because of all the things I have learned from them I found me a great girl. Dan! Paul! - Paul! Dan! Love you guys.
Great vlog Paul. Dan / Vagabond Awake is a great resource of information for those who are traveling for a visit or looking to retire and relocate. Time to watch his interview with you!
This was the first thing that came to my mind when I heard Dan is in Dumaguete.. I knew that they would get along very well and it would be a really great interview / talk.
Thanks for the interview,Paul. Dan is very meticulous and he did his homework at d same time he was in d country he mentioned when he upload hos videos .d insights n experiences are invaluable to newbies . Cheers ❤️❤️👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Dan is so intelligent. I'm a little surprised he had such an unconventional career, but he seems like a guy who could always figure out the angles. His is my favorite ex pat channel.
I’ve found a PERFECT video/interview that really related to my life/thinking. Thanks Paul. I can’t wait to swim across the pond to Vietnam/Philippines/Thailand soon in one piece without sharks stealing my my body parts while swimming.
I really identified with the comment about becoming your real self during expatriation. I've grown to become the kind of person that I want to be. Not the kind of person others demanded I be.
You can reinvent yourself also. Maybe you want to be different than what you have always been in your home country but you knew it would not be accepted by your circle of friends, coworkers or family. Maybe the career that you had required you to be stoic. You're at a different stage of life and want to change your personality. Be the person that you want to be and it will be accepted by others in your new homeland.
It's too bad that most of us westerners don't realize our truth till it's almost to late. It's a universal cornerstone that most parents want, hope or dream for their children have a more fulfilled, prosperous and joyfully life. I'm sure if you interviewed members of past, present and future parents that that point would be expressed in your dialog. If not a conscience thought you know that societal norms would capitalize and somehow monetize that ideology. Over population competition and the advents of technology < AI make that ideology a mute point. They call that progress... When Paul and Dan came to the realization that they were just cogs of civilization and had the courage to jump off the merry go round or throw a wrench into the gears - did they find their sense of peace, joy and compatibility to nature. To live in the present and to connect was there all along but there was always someone who said you need more. How much is enough? I thank you Dan and Paul for showing ( living ) us in real time that all we really Need was there all along. I don't know if I'm just speaking jibberish but I just had to speak out. I wish nothing but enlightenment and safe travels to all who embark on a new journey and a new season.
This is strange for me. I watched Dan’s channel regularly and started traveling to the countries that looked interesting 5 years ago and started watching Paul’s channel about a year before moving here to Valencia.
Paul - Excellent Video !! I have watched Dan for years and I enjoyed hearing him in a more relaxed and unscripted environment. You 2 guys would be fun to hang out with sometime !!
That was a great interview, really got Dan to relax and reveal. Never saw Paul's channel before, but I follow Dan and Qiang Hui. But jeez, Paul has a lot of cranky rude trolls.
Do as I do guy - ignore the trolls , seemingly they are jealous of Paul's success and popularity. I call them bottom feeders or ambulance chasers. They hope to lessen Paul's subscribers / viewers and steal them. Once you have Old Dog, he's a keeper!
That's a nice way to put it. I started on the internet in '93 with AOL and I learned quickly that everyone is a keyboard warrior with no threat back. Life's too short to be critical of others/yourself.
Great interview,
Very informative 😂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great interview and very informative! You guy's are the best! Be safe peace ❤
Great interview. I have watched Dan over a number of year's and he's a class act! Thanks
I am glad you two got to meet. I watch both of you. fantastic channels.:)
Thanks for having me on your channel Paul. It was a pleasure meeting you finally. Dan
Thanks for coming
😅 you both provided the show with a few mind-twisting selected 'word' brain teasers. Thank you...😮🤔
I was able to make a real connection with both you and Paul. Kudos to both you fine guys! Hope to meet both of you in the near future.
heart warming video
Great interview. Also enjoy watching the interview on his channel. Not really sure about doing you tube but would enjoy traveling the world. I want to travel and enjoy other cultures with my wife of 30+ years. Thanks for making these videos.
Grateful for Dan. Thank you, Paul
Two guys that have found their place in life!
You nailed it.
Two winners.
You mean three guys. Chung is a dude pretending to be a woman
Great interview. Dan is great and I think you two together were something special.
Smooth video, really relaxing 😊
You can always speak what you truly love!
Two important things I learned from Vagabond Awake:

2. When you go to a foreign country don’t walk around and show off your wealth. You’re just putting a huge target 🎯 on your back.

Great ideas. Thx for sharing guys. Another great book is Die with Zero. I read it an changed my entire view of life.

Love both of you vlogs. Keep it up. Living my dream.
Nice, Dan thought the Old Dog a new trick on how to point to the next video.

Love Dan’s channel. A pure hearted soul and such a great channel!
The point relating to being able to reinvent yourself or become your true self in another country, is so understated and yet so liberating.

These are my two gurus. So cool to see them shootin the the sh*t together. Thanks Dan (the Man) 😎
Paul you truly an exemplary interviewer. Absolute natural skills. Thank you for your videos.

Wow, what an encyclopedia of travel knowledge. That’s an amazing interview. Thanks for sharing.

Nice to meet you and your bride this morning. Sorry to interrupt your breakfast. Best regards
The 6 foot tal runway model is the best part. lol
Two contrasting styles and it all meshed together pretty well. Enjoyed it, it really worked.
Chang is not just beautiful, based on her and Dan's videos, she is really kind and down to earth person.
Yes she is the epitome of a feminine woman. They compliment eachother in mind and spirit. I'd love to have them as friends.
Thanks for the great interview guys!
