I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever,hoping to retire next year... Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life.
I agree with you and believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don't know who agrees with me but either way I recommend real estate or crypto and stocks.
Yeah!! It would be more beneficial and yield more profit if you actually trade on cryptocurrency, I've been trading since the dip, I've made so much profit trading.
trading is easier with proper guidance, especially from a professional, Newbies who are not aware of how crypto truly works and wish to make profits from it, I would advise to invest with a professional like Fergus waylen, It helps secure and minimize the possibilities of losses.
Thanks so much. We love all different types of travels, transportation and adventures. Thanks for following along. John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/
You two have such infectious positive energy! Your videos about retiring are so informative. But I would love to watch a video on your love story and how you two knew! I think it's just as important to have a partner in life you enjoy having an adventure with. Too often I see retired couples just seem so bored and exhausted of life and of each other that by that time, they're just spending the days doing the same things everything day, forgetting what their younger selves dreamed of doing after retiring.
Thanks for the kind comments. We do cherish our time to travel together and see the world and agree on the importance of having a partner to share it with. We certainly don't take that for granted. Thanks for following along on our journey and many blessings to you. John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/
I am following you since several weeks as I will retire in 4 years. You give me hope and a purpose for my retirement even if I will travel alone. You are an example for me and I love your adventures. Your videos and how you tell your stories are great. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures and advices.
I've watched several of your videos now and have decided that you're my people. I spent a month jn Thailand last November, 16 days with my daughter and the rest on my own. Can't wait to return and also visit other countries in Asia. If I ever meet you, I'll tell you my elephant story. Safe travels!
Thanks so much and we are glad to be your happy. We would love to meet someday and hear that elephant story, or you can just send us an email on our website. We would love to hear it. 😉 Safe travels, John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/
Thailand is such an amazingly friendly place. We spent 2022 sailing west coast of Malaysia, Thailand and over to Sumatra. We cut it short to come back to the USA for our teenagers to finish high school. We’ll return to SE Asia (Indonesia: Lombok, Borneo; Philippines, Laos, etc…thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences.

How long was the bus ride from Chang Rae to Loas? I’m new to your channel and love it. I’ve been trying to get to Chang Mia since before for Covid. I’m hoping to get there this October. You’ve provided a lot of great places to see. You’ve also given me courage to retire early. I pray all goes well. Can’t wait to see your next video. Best wishes 😘
Thanks so much. Glad you found our channel. The bus ride was about 2.5 hours. Not luxurious, but fun. Good luck with your early retirement. Let us know if we can help further. John and Bev retirementtravelers.com

Loved the video and the Elephants were my favorite. Thanks, John and Bev for taking us with you. Never thought about traveling to Thailand now this video changed that thinking. Always loved when Tony Bourdain traveled there and ate street food, it was a favorite for him !! Love you both !!🥰🥰🥰

Hello from Montreal Canada. It would be extremely interesting if you would incorporate what all this costs? What you budgeted versus actual. Real financial data and not percentages and general statements. I think a lot more people would follow and you would be really helping people get a better understanding of possibilities.
Wow, can't believe that you took the bus from Chiangrai to Chiangkhong before crossed over to Laos. The bus goes through the village where my parents lived. I haven't been there for many years as living in UK, hopefully I can make it next year.

HI Guys - thanks very much for the great videos! A quick question -- how does Thailand compare to Hanoi pollution-wise. I was in Hanoi last Fall and geez, I could have cut the air with a knife!
We would say similar. We spent time in northern Thailand and issue there was that it was burning season in the fields. Air quality wasn't the greatest. We plan to return at a different time of year and perhaps it will be better. John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/

I need your advice. I applied for a visa to Thailand and was rejected because I don't have a ticket back to the United States. I bought a ticket to Cambodia to show them I would exit but they still rejected me saying I had to have a ticket back to the US. When you went to Thailand, did you just get a visa upon entry? Did they ask you for a copy of a ticket showing you were going somewhere after that?
We didn't have any issues. We got it upon entry, and I'm not even sure they asked for a ticket. We exited on a bus to Laos and then came back to Bangkok for an overnight before heading to Singapore. We might have told the agents our plans, but I don't think we did on the first entry. At that time, we didn't have a bus ticket or exit ticket. Hope this helps. John & Bev www.retirementtravelers.com
