Don’t burn bridges. Take a trip. Look around. Go home. Have a think. Go again. Go home. Have a think. <br>It doesn’t have to be done all at once. <br>Best wishes from Uruguay.

Evan, your channel is excellent. I have spent the better part of the last 15 years in South East Asia and a great deal in Vietnam. I ride motorcycle in many countries in the world doing short stories and documentaries. Through this I have experienced much of what you talk about and you are right on. I'm 78 and still taking the challange. I have a small retirement and work summers in aviation in the US. No, I can't keep it up for ever but it beats sitting at home waiting to die!! Thanks for what you do,it's real and valuable. Thanks, James Herbert aka Hobo Rider.

Evan, this was such an exceptional video! I resent myself for not moving to Costa Rica decades ago. Now, with more health issues but the desire for a better life, I will be moving from NJ in 2027/28. Vietnam, Equador, Albania (after the protests😳), or slow travel to them all is a possibility as well.<br>I'm not letting fear hold me back any more and will be in a better financial position by then.<br>I appreciate your hard work on these videos. Approching the tough emotional stuff is not something other content creators are doing. THANK YOU! 🎉

Some great advice, thank you! My wife and I are in our mid 50s and are hoping to do some month long stays abroad once we retire to immerse ourselves in local culture, and if we fall in love with a location, possibly move. Can’t wait to try it out!

Lots of both practical stuff and lots of wisdom in this video. I probably won’t ever leave my lair 9200 ft above sea level in the Colorado Rocky Mtns (I abhor hot humid weather), but I still love to watch these videos. Strong work Evan.
