Hi there! I just found this video and you made me laugh so much - thank you 🙂 I subscribed immediately and I'm looking forward to watching more of your content!

This is the first video of yours I’ve watched. I’m leaving San Diego to Costa Rica in a month and want to downsize what’s in my storage unit before we leave, so I searched and your video came up first in Google! I like your style and comedy. 😂 I’ll be heading to my storage unit this week with my laptop to create a huge spreadsheet. Thanks! Also, I also have used Buy Nothing Facebook groups to list things for free. It’s amazing what people will pick up!

Super helpful! We are moving to the Netherlands in 6 months! I am super stressed but your video helped me think about it differently (I have been making lists for several weeks). My husband is American, and I am French so I have done this before. I just need to get him on board... 😅

Just joined OfferUp. Thanks for the advice! And wow your garage sale was impressive. I have had horrible luck having garage sales. I think I need to borrow that sign you made lol

@WanderingAimfully

Ай бұрын

Haha, the sign was the KEY! 😂 But really, it's probably just a lot of luck and having super affordable prices that people don't think twice about? 🤷 Good luck selling your stuff!

It is so hard to sell everything when you live off the highway in a farming area, it makes garage sale almost impossible to get people to drive out to where I live. When I sell online, my ads sit for weeks, and then it jus figures that days or a weeks after I'm out of the country all of a sudden people start asking about things I had posted a month ago. It's hard, give yourself a lot of extra time just in case you can't sell as fast as you firs think you can.

Wonderful!

Insta suscribed! Geniuses

Been selling for almost 2 years now! (20+ years of stuff) Getting to the crazy stage of everything now in boxes - glad to hear it gets better!

My biggest worry is the timing. How am I going to perfectly time selling all my stuff before the lease is up? Or if I sell my computer too early what am I going to do for months? Soo many questions in my head ugh

Thank you for this video! You guys helped guide me as I'm doing this move solo (daunting for sure!), and my moving sale attendees also commented on my " great signs." They weren't as beautifully printed as yours but they worked (I made 22 signs!) and I had a wonderful showing. I even had a few neighbors offer me help at the last minute which was heaven sent! I made over 1000 bucks and I'm thrilled. Next I'll try offer up and FB marketplace for my furniture. Cheers to world travel and huge gratitude for your awesome help in getting there!

Hi! Love your videos. We are in the process of planning a similar journey and are interested in how you managed your US insurance. Did you keep US insurance in addition to your travel insurance? If so, what does that look like? If not, and reasoning that got you there?

@WanderingAimfully

Жыл бұрын

Hi Brittany 👋. We are *very* fortunate to not have any pre-existing health conditions, so we felt comfortable letting go of our US health insurance and just using travel insurance (Safety Wing). Thankfully, that decision has served us very well so far this entire year! Considering we were paying ~$1800/mo for health insurance and have only been paying $84/month 😱 this year, with one out of pocket procedure (~$500), we've saved a TON of money 😂. I could see if someone had pre-existing conditions, keeping U.S. health insurance and trying to have the lowest monthly cost possible for that coverage would be worthwhile.

hw breathtaking !catch you later.

How did you guys manage visas if you plan to be there for a year? Obviously it depends on the country, but you can only be in the EU countries for 3 months out of every 6 month period if you only have a tourist visa. So where will you be spending the remaining 6 months total of the year?

@WanderingAimfully

2 жыл бұрын

GREAT question! Yep, we have to play by the 3/6 months rules - no special visa or anything here. We built a (very nerdy) spreadsheet/database that helps us manage this. We planned out 20 "blocks" for the year that are 18 days long. Each of those 20 blocks we'll spend in a destination, so 10 of them can be in the EU and 10 have to be out while also following the 90-day rule. We might share a video about this later on but we want to see it in action first 😅. Right now, things are looking good for our first 6 months (10 destinations) and the blocks we're in/out of the EU 🥳.

Also, I’m not sure if you’ll see this in time, but you briefly mentioned that you used Notion to categorize your belongings. Would you be willing to share a template or screenshot of the categories and how you set it up? This is the first I’ve heard of Notion.

I keep getting fired. I have worked years to get know where. I want to sell everything and wander aimlessly. I am already wandering aimlessly but at least then I won't have to deal with anything

How long did it take you to sell everything? (only 8 months? REALLY????) We are beginning our journey to retire abroad, and I need to form a solid timeline. Also, you said you used Venmo for purchases on Offer Up...I'm old (thus retiring), and modern tech sometimes scares me, is Venmo safe for transactions with strangers? Really?? (lol!) Also, didn't t-mobile make you leave them after a while of being in Europe? I love T-Mobile (I'm also not sponsored....sadly) and the thought of having to switch to Orange or Vodafone or LOBSTER (yikes) scares me too (Man, I'm starting to sound older and older the more I write :( ) Thanks for the videos! Happy trails!

We owned a Tesla Model 3 at the time and for the first time in my adult life (read: 20 years of owning cars) we actually sold the car for a small profit 😱. But, that's not normal, and selling a car will probably be a small loss when you sell all your stuff unless you can get someone to take over the payments on swapalease or a site like that 👍.
