Ed, a 64-year-old American now based in Da Nang, Vietnam, tells his story of early retirement and adventure. After deciding not to wait for social security, he packed his bags and began exploring the world. In just six years, he managed to visit 14 countries, searching for the perfect place to settle down. Vietnam eventually became that place, affordable, friendly, and full of life.
Dan, the founder of VagabondBuddha.com, shared Ed’s interview as part of his ongoing mission to help retirees reduce risk when moving abroad. Having left the U.S. nearly two decades ago, Dan now teaches others how to create sustainable, low-cost lives overseas. He offers guides, reports, and courses to help travelers avoid common pitfalls and enjoy their freedom abroad.
Those interested can learn more about Dan’s system for retiring overseas, including a 50% lifetime membership discount, through links on his site. He also provides a liability disclaimer reminding readers to do their own research, calculate personal costs, and seek professional advice before making the leap. For Dan and many like Ed, retirement doesn’t have to mean slowing down, it can mean discovering a whole new way of living.
My Take…
Another great video from Dan!
Ed’s 64, American, and apparently allergic to waiting rooms, especially the one labeled “Social Security.” So he bailed. Grabbed his passport and went full Indiana Jones across 14 countries in six years. Somewhere between noodles and nostalgia, he landed in Da Nang, Vietnam, declaring it cheap, cheerful, and lively enough to make Florida look like a rest home.
Enter Dan, digital nomad guru and founder of VagabondBuddha.com. He ditched the U.S. years ago, now teaching others how to retire without becoming financially extinct. His pitch? Guides, discounts, and a polite “don’t sue me” disclaimer. Their message: retirement isn’t the end, it’s the sequel.
