Top 30 Expat Countries Quest

June 15, 2024/in Blog, Move Abroad/by JP Stonestreet
Written by JP Stonestreet

When we started our YouTube Channel back in September 2018, our main driving force was to show others that life outside the US is not only possible, but better.

We also hoped to shatter some of the myths about other countries and show you how amazing it really is to live abroad.

Top Expat Destinations

Now, we’re excited to FINALLY announce our Top 30 Expat Countries Quest!

We’ve already filmed videos in 13 different countries, including England, The Netherlands and India, but we’re not including those two in our 30 Expat Countries Quest because they were travel videos without a focus on living there.

That means we’re starting our quest at 10 countries, and over the next 2 years, we’re going to visit another 20. Plus, we have plans to explore more of Albania, Spain, Italy, Greece, France, Ecuador, Mexico, and Colombia.

Our exploratory trips will be an average of one month in each country, but realistically, we’ll probably spend more time in some and less in others.

Other Countries We’ve Filmed

These are countries where we’ve filmed videos, but they’re either not an ideal expat destination or the videos we filmed were more travel oriented. We plan to visit a few more countries that fit this list (like Japan and the UK) so this list will grow over time.

  • England
  • The Vatican City (featured in our video about Rome)
  • The Netherlands
  • India

Countries We’ve Visited but Didn’t Film

Here are the other countries (and territories) we’ve visited before we had a YouTube channel:

  • Canada
  • Belize
  • Honduras
  • Turks & Caicos Islands
  • Puerto Rico
  • Dominican Republic
  • Cayman Islands

Final Thoughts…

Our goal is STILL to help you live abroad, but we’re going to take our destination analysis to the next level!

We hope you’ll join us on this grand adventure as we help you discover the best places to live abroad based on what’s most important to you!

Hola todos! Welcome to my author bio page! Let's see. Where to begin... I grew up in the country on a lake outside a small Kansas farm town. As soon as I could, I got the hell outta there! Since then, I've lived and/or worked in Kansas City, Washington D.C., Denver, San Francisco, and Ecuador. I started and sold a dotcom, wrote a book about it, started a YouTube channel, and now I write a lot. Amelia and I have embraced the Unconventional Life and we want to help you do it, too!

Following a life-changing event back in Denver Colorado, we took stock of our lives and decided we needed to do something different.

After a lot of research and reflection, we made the decision to sell everything we owned and leave the United States in search of a higher quality of life for a lower cost of living in another country.
