Creator's Key Takeaways

Flex Pat living is the idea of living abroad in different locations starting by living in one city for 90 days.

We have found that the biggest cost of travel is how fast you move.

We love Medellin Colombia and when we stay in El pleblado a lovely part of town we can go to a fancy restaurant have a salmon dinner for two with vegetables and drinks and desserts and the whole nine yards for about thirty dollars.

The medical care is the same you know we have received Medical Care and Medellin for about forty dollars per visit.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Live abroad part-time by staying in one city for 90 days, then repeat in another location.
βœ“Rent a home or apartment locally for better deals instead of using Airbnb or Vrbo.
βœ“Consider low-cost countries for affordable living and medical care.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description↓

In today's video, we explain an affordable way of living abroad. It is how to live abroad part-time for cheap using a method we call flex-pat living. We will share a new approach to international living without the hassles of residential visas to other countries, large financial commitments and having to relocate your permanent home. ▢️ We started our channel to inspire and share our world travel lifestyle, adventures, and optimistic outlook on life with others. After completing a two-year journey in our Airstream to see all 50 states and 51 National Parks, we left to travel abroad. We have downsized our possessions and sold our home so that we can wander about with only the things in our backpacks. We love living on the road, traveling each week to a new location. We plan to travel extensively to every part of the world. Ours is not a slow travel lifestyle but rather a vagabondish one. The goal is not to check a country off a list, but to experience it by meeting new people, seeing how others live, and making new friends. We believe in laughing, loving, and living our lives to the fullest. We are working hard to build a beautiful website where you can get travel information about the places we have been. In addition, we post blog articles to help you travel better. Our channel is a way of augmenting that effort, so sometimes we post videos about how to travel or a vlog showing our lives on the road as we do an activity or an adventure. We also post Shorts, so check those out, too. We hope to entertain you, but most importantly, we want to inspire you and give you the confidence to plan your own adventure around the world.
