JC Interview -- What are the Fears and Benefits of Traveling and Living in a New Country -- Part 1

Membership site now open: http://retirecheap.tv/members Traveling and living in a new country might not be for everyone. But if somebody experiences new sights, sounds and completely different cultures, it opens up something and allows the traveler to understand themselves and their own culture even better. Coming over here, a traveler not only sees Asia, but also sees their own country through a different set of eyes. So what does it take to set your current life aside see what other options that might be available? What attitudes and beliefs might be helpful in setting up a new life abroad? Well, watch as I interview a friend and fellow traveler as to why he travels and his beliefs about experiencing different cultures. Maybe having these beliefs would help. Check it out.

You should shorten your intro to 5 secs or less, I skip it always!

@IqaluitNU No worries. I am sure many do. It is a branding thing.

Really cool dialogue between you two and I can really relate to what Jim was saying about reading National Geographic as a child. All I dreamed of as a kid was visiting faraway places, like Machu Picchu and Bhutan. I did figure out a way of getting to some places: by teaching English. Now I teach online for a corporation. After 3 years in what I call a "mini-management position", I got fed up with management and am back to just teaching. Suits me fine. Anyway, please keep the videos coming!

@alanday05 Been dry up here for days. No rain at all. Winter is on it's way.

@jarden69 I agree with you completely. It is hard to let go of what we know; I am having a tough time myself making that decision. I lived in Korea when I was young and the first year was tough--it is not easy being away from the familiar. It gets tiring dealing with misunderstandings and frustrations, not knowing the language and the customs. Thailand seems a lot more open to foreigners than Korea was. I for one am glad that JC is around to give us all a bit of a helping hand.
