Hi, I've been traveling for about 15 years and a lot of US Americans are justifiably upset to be living in their country right now.
If you have a remote job that pays over $500 USD a month, there are dozens of other countries you can be living in. If you make closer to $1000 USD a month remotely, the world is wide open.
If you don't have a remote job yet, teaching English on or offline pays at least $1600 a month for 25 hours of work a week.
You can use the extra time and money to figure out how to get closer to your dream job, dream country or chill out and watch movies or play video games.
You can also access health care, education or other basic civil amenities that may be unaffordable or inaccessible in the US, if those are a concern.
Plane tickets Sep. 2025 from the US:
Canada: $16 Colombia: $46 Panama $96 Ireland, Germany, Norway, Italy: $147-149 Japan: $209 Thailand: $221 Vietnam: $267 Taiwan; $272
Stay out of the US 11 out of 12 months(calendar year, not tax year) and you don't pay federal income tax that year.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Please don't take this the wrong way, I upvoted your comment, but I'm kind of relieved that you're suspicious of me if you trust Harbinger, a millionaire pickup artist life coach.
Living abroad or being a nomad is not a dream.
Buses are not dreams, neither are trains and neither are airplanes.
It's a simple matter of getting a passport, buying a ticket and then living in a different country with a low cost-of-living. if you don't already have a remote job, a job teaching English is guaranteed for fluent English speakers.
Traveling abroad makes financial sense by the publicly available numbers and information.
I mean. Visas tho?
Basically a non-issue for most countries.
Americans, for example, can travel to 180 countries visa-free or visa on arrival.
Most other countries have a similar deal.
If you are going to a country you need a visa for, the visa office usually provides an online form to fill out.
You fill out where you want to travel to, the date you arrive, pay the fee and then the visa office of that country emails you the visa in a couple days.
The last Visa I had to get was for india. it took me less than 5 minutes to fill out online, and 24 hours later I had a 5-year multiple entry visa for 6 months each entry.
"...if you don't apply for a visa you're still governed by one..."
No, that is incorrect.
A visa is a discrete permit that is required for citizens of some countries to enter other countries.
If you do not require a visa for a country, then you are not required to follow the non-existent limits of that non-existent visa.
Regardless of visa policy, travelers are often subject to visitation limits depending on the country they visit, which is a completely separate policy than the specific immigration permit known as a visa.
That's like saying the difference between needing a driver's license and not needing a driver's license is semantics.
On one hand, you require a legal permit.
On the other hand, you don't require a legal permit.
Those are entirely opposite, discrete policies and situations, especially regarding travel.
Go on then, explain yourself.
But try to be constructive.
So far, you seem to be spreading misinformation by deliberately misunderstanding the travel policies I've taken care to explain, in which case I'll remove your comments.
Yeah the episode is more about the guest who is a life long insider in the industry. Not specifically suspicious if you don't offer paid advice as all the other shills.
I see where you're coming from.
Be careful with Harbinger then, his whole career is based on being paid to give advice.

Super slick youtube presentation though, and I like long-form conversations as an interview medium.
Good to know, good advice. Thanks
Sure thing, have a good one
