Just one more reason why Brent and Michael Are Going Places is so valuable. This is great info for everyone, whether they are digital nomads or, um, armchair nomads. I nomad part of the time, if that's a thing . . . Okay, I travel a bit. I'm grateful for all your helpful advice.
Please to see your Are Going Places but your sharing is a place on the internet for us to share. Your reflection of your actual spendings for 2022 was enlightening. We rarely see such details. Thanks for caring.
Loved this article and the breakdowns. Very helpful for potential immigrants and digital nomads alike in terms of budgeting and actual spending.
I'm not a defender of America in most senses, but I will say there are farmers markets here that cater to the middle and lower classes, and are not simply for the rich or tourists. Many vendors take EBT these days. Just an observation.
Regarding insurance, since we have Obamacare as a primary policy, we signed up for GeoBlue Voyager Choice. Covers us for six months at a time abroad (about $300 per month for two 61-year olds)...including pre-existing conditions.
Posts like this make me so giddy, which is a nerdy thing to say. I'm pretty sure I'll be spending more than both of you did this year, but I'll also be spending a fair amount of time in Western Europe (working US East Coast hours in Eastern Europe is not a switch I'm ready for, but hope to be soon).
Thank you for your openness in sharing your spending. It is really helps for my wife and me as we prepare for a similar life in 18 months and it gives us the confidence we can pull this off!
An absolutely fascinating read - it’s really great to see the nuts and bolts of the numbers like this. Thank you!
We’re not avid travellers, but that all changed the week before Covid hit, when my husband arrived home with a surprise campervan.... He’d been commissioned to shoot a book, and the job involved a raft of trips of various lengths around the whole of the UK once the first lockdown had lifted. We were entirely self-contained, which was a real gift for us immuno-suppressed in such worrying times. There’s now a second book commission, and after THAT multi-stop trip across the country is accomplished I would LOVE to hit mainland Europe....
I’m sharing this post with my husband so that he’s prepared for all the hints I’m going to be dropping!
Interesting! I haven’t buckled down and figured out my 2022. I’ve been waffling been doing accrued or what I actually paid in the year. I’ve found I save more on rentals if I booked in advance, which screws up the actually paid numbers. I think I’ll look at it both ways and see how it all shakes out.
Hi Guys - Still in La Paz - Yuck. Loved your latest post and if you tell me where you got a non-owner driver's insurance policy for $150 a year I'll tell you how much I LOVE Mint Mobil for $180 for the entire year!!!
This is great info! Thanks for sharing it! I have two questions: who do you buy your non-owner auto insurance from? I have been looking for a company in the US but have not found one. And what tool or software do you use to do your budgeting? Many thanks!
Awesome article. Thank you for breaking down each category! Wow. impressive and you are living, what appears, to be the grand life! So excited for you two!
This is so excellent. I love seeing people living this life to help me to approximate what my own life could look like once I’m nomadic.
That comments about umbrella insurance…I’d totally forgotten that you had to have auto coverage in order to keep it. I’ve never heard of that non-owner option. Fascinating

A life worth following loved finding you on substack and I'm grateful for all your helpful advice
Thank you for sharing. I’m looking forward to reading about your 2023 adventures.

You certainly do appear to eat very well. Interesting analysis.
Sorry about the repeats. It kept telling me there was an error posting, so I kept trying and finally gave up and switched to Facebook!!
