Tinder? Wow! Well done! Pleased for you. Lovely couple
Thanks Kevin. Best, Dan
Interesting story. You two are a great couple. What a lifestyle!
Thanks Metal. Have a great week. Best, Dan
Interesting, good to know thanks. Keep those video’s coming
Thanks Mark. Best, Dan
Duma get te
Thanks Jon. ๐
What city’s are you both from…
For security reasons we don’t answer that specific a question. Sorry. Thanks for commenting. Dan
Dan was very fortunate to find someone that age ( 25 years younger! ) with no children. Qiang was very fortunate to be able to retire at the age of 32… They look like a happy couple!
Thanks Dean. Have a great day.
You both have great stories, and it is enjoyable to see a happy couple.
I know you have a fixed format for your travel videos, checklist of data and great photography, my feedback is the best parts are where you are sharing more of yourselves too like in this shoot. For example I commented on your KL review how the Airbnb tower apartment was so cool. I would like to see a day in the life video of living there, with walking around the neighborhood, going to the supermarket, taking a bus or train, walking down alleys, talking to vendors, etc, so I could imagine actually living/visiting there. Perhaps it doesn’t meet the needs of your business, and I’m not saying to change your format, but I think it is an additional kind of video people would enjoy watching, and you would be good at it!
Sounds good. Day in the life video. We’ll try it out. Best, Dan
Enjoyed your video ๐. Had a few good laughs ๐คฃ, why Dan kept coming back each month? Glad your both safe.
I know. Not really a big secret. ๐ Best, Dan
She speaks good English. ๐ Stay positive..
Thanks. It was a fun video to make. Best, Dan
Cute Eurasian Couple !!! You Can Make Millions If You Can Figure Out How To Market Qiang’s Gut Bacteria !!! LOL !!!
@Vagabond Awake https://www.facebook.com/mick.garcia.16/posts/3313802911980934
@Vagabond Awake I’m Doing Great But The World Economy Is Headed Toward The Great Depression Again And Totalitarian Government Is Ascending !!!
Thanks Mickey. How are you doing during this CV19 thing? Best, Dan
Great couple and great video ๐ I gave a thumbs up! Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate the info about Malaysia being a good base for 90 days. How do you pick a place to stay for 30+ days? What’s your strategy? Airbnb or hotel first then scope the place for month to month apartments?
Also, I enjoy your videos when you talk about walkable towns. I agree that walkable is key. Don’t like taxis to do basic things like restaurants and nearby things to do.
Also like the $900 per month living expenses (or cheaper but SAFE) videos. Those are interesting to watch because it’s a fair budget. Possible long term living country.
Yes, walkability is key. The most charming places are walkable. Yes, that is a good strategy. Get a base and then find your favorite area of town. Then walk it looking for rentals signs. That is how you get the best deals in the most walkable area. Airbnb often costs too much and this is how you get to the lower prices in the best places … from landlords that don’t know how to do Airbnb. Just be flexible because sometimes things don’t work out perfectly.
The series of souvenir shots of you in various countries at about 2:25 are just fantastic; you both look radiant and happy. You are also lucky to have each other for great company in this virus mess, the quarantine somehow won’t be so bad by spending it someone special. Stay inside, be safe & stay healthy! and…stay together!! <3 <3
Thanks for the generous message Raysfla. You stay safe too. All the best, Dan
Cute ๐. In 2016 I also met my wife who’s Pinay. We chose a different lifestyle for now as we have two babies. But we plan to travel as a family if that be possible these days as things are quickly changing.
Two of my good friends have 2 girls they have raised all over the world starting from birth and on … literally.
Good luck to you guys, all the best. Hope to meet you one day:)
Hello guys,
I live in Southern California, near Laguna Beach. I travel to Thailand and the Philippines often. I have been to Malaysia, and love the culture there. As soon as the virus situation is over I am flying to Phuket.. please take care and be safe.
Thanks Bessisso. Where do you live in the world? Dan
Dan & Qiang! You are wonderful and I am envious! Best of luck. Be safe.
Thanks Greg. Have a great week. Dan
Great to get to know you both better. I’m American and fiancee filipina. Is it possible to then to live 90 days in Malaysia, exit to Thailand, back to Malaysia, exit to Philippines and back again? It seems you are saying that Malaysia allows this. Thanks and keep the great information coming!
Yes. In 5 years, they stamp my American passport 90 days each entry no matter when I was last there or where I before entry. Even better than that … they never ask for exit flight details or where I will be staying while I am there. They treat Americans with more respect than US immigrations when I enter the USA. They really are a peach. And the people are lovely there.
Sadly I can’t speak to what the entry conditions will before your filipino gf, but it is worth a try to see what they do. I bet they give her at least 30 days.
Its interesting to find out a bit about the background of those you watch on Youtube. People are interesting. Thx for sharing your story.
Yes Alastair. This is real. Not even a reality show. Interesting times we are living in. Thanks for helping us by commenting. Best, Dan
What is it like when you are able to go out and shop for food.? I understand lockdown is being strictly enforced by the President now
I have a friend there up in Luzon and he said itโs really become serious in the last week . Any concerns about food and basic supplies ?
Yes. We are under advanced community quarantine now in Dumaguete. But no troubles so far. We are just enjoying this downtime while we have it. When the gate lifts, we’ll be back on the road, so might as well be here now. ๐
And I forget to mention, you are luckier than most because you have good company. ๐๐
Totally Dan T. I cherish every moment. Best, Dan
Great video. My wife and I agreed that it was like sitting across from you at a table listening to your story. Loved it.
We love you both. Dan, your thoughts on spiritual things have been helpful. My favorite books right now are Christianity Must Change or Die” by Bishop Spong and “Living Buddha, Living Christ” by Thich Nhat Hanh.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you Ed. We had fun doing that video. I love Thich Nhat Hanh. We even went to his home temple when we were in Hue Vietnam.
Is your smile a picture of your heart? If so Qiang has a beautiful one!
@Vagabond Awake same to you my friend, be safe!
Thanks Dave. She is a sweet heart. Best, Dan
Thanks for the brief and personal insight you two.
You are welcome Buddy Trip. Thanks for helping our business by commenting. Dan
Awesome! Thank you… Qiang is amazing… Happy for you both
@Vagabond Awake I am seeing a girl much younger than I. We spent a good 10 days on Siargao and 2 weeks in CDO… I left on March 3rd and been trying to get back since. Two flights cancelled and well you know… I have a feeling I will not be able to return until June sometime. Wish I was stuck there now… Stay safe and stay happy!
Yes. She has so many great qualities. Thanks for commenting Randell. Best, Dan
I met you guys in Vลฉng Tร u, Vietnam. I and my husband met online too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA9ODWBdH_8
@Hobo Ventures I Qiang Hui I่่ There are not a lot of single mom running around with a bunch of mistakes that she cant afford, the street in vn are way cleaner than phillipines.
Yes! We remember you guys! How’s everything in Vietnam?
Very cool. How are you guys doing? Has Gary convinced you to start traveling yet? ๐
Great vlog!
Thanks Notorious. And thanks for commenting. It helps our channel. Dan
Thank you for sharing your awesome life. ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ From Thailand
You are welcome 1one. We feel lucky and it reminds us when we share it. ๐
Great interesting story! I like to know how to live simply and travel. I own a house with a lot of stuff. It feels like the house owns me. But I have a hard time letting go of my stuff. Need some advice. Mostly books and music instruments.
When you first leave … put stuff in storage. Not everything. Just your most favorite stuff. Then when you get back in a year or two. Go look in the storage. You’ll realize that you have let go psychologically. That is when you will really understand that life is for experience not things. Things can be in memory too. You don’t have to actually keep them.
Is good to see both together in romantic history … great ๐
Thanks Osvaguille. People have asked for this for over a year. We just kept putting it off. Happy to finally have it done. Best, Dan
Tinder, ej!? I thought it was just a useless app for short-term hookups. hehe
Thanks for sharing your stories.
-Nils
I thought the same thing. I also thought it was mostly for the very young.
You are welcome AR. Best, Dan
What is the attitude of Malaysian women towards older men? Are they more open to age-gap relationships than say women from Singapore?
-Nils
โ@Vagabond Awake that makes good sense.
I find that the ease of meeting an dating a lady is inversely proportional to the general income of the society they live in. hehe Here is a video with some stats on it: https://youtu.be/FbPUccLYT88?t=304
Malaysia has a higher per capita income than many other nations in SE Asia, except for Brunei and Singapore. For that reason, woman are generally able to find local men with incomes for a middle class life. So they have more choices in general than other places in SE Asia. That said, there are fewer westerners in general in Malaysia than other parts of SE Asia, so you are more novel and interesting to them. Singapore is one of the richest countries in the world so you aren’t going to turn many heads there just because you are western. Thanks for commenting.
Best, Dan
hi dan. can you vlog about your travels in places and how you get around being vegetarian. i remember in a vlog you mention in philipines how it was challenging and you mostly cook at home. also vlog some of your simple go to recipes for travelling. thanks have good day
Thanks for the ideas Aidan. I put them on the list. Thanks for watching and commenting too. It helps our business. Best, Dan
Hi, This was great, i always wondered about chung hoy’s life, [phonetics] have her tell us more on schooling experiences, early and HS years, any college. What did she like dislike about modeling? Behind the scenes stories of how it all works hiring, training, managing models, show productions, etc.
i would like to hear about your challenges faced on the road with your lifestyle?
Will you ever own a piece of property, why-where?
Do you experience corruption that would cause problems for english only speakers. How friendly are people compared to the burbs in the US.
On the places you travel, about food quality and sanitation, food poisoning instances and why it happened if ever. The cheap eats does not interest me as much as quality safety of the food supply. I cook myself every meal so wonder what items are available and what cities had the best selection.
What changes do you see happening over time in the places you both have been? How are your location tastes changing for you both as you age?
I have seen most of your videos over the years also, A+ job giving us ratings for my Cultural Explorer interests.
Thanks
Great ideas. Thanks for sharing. Best, Dan.
They need condom there, too many idiots popping out mistakes.
Vasectomy.
Excellent videos… do you have your top 10 choices to live in the Philippines?
Only top 3 so far. Our investigation was put on hold until CV19 abates. 1. Dumaguete, 2. Camiguin, 3. Panglao or next door Bohol.
Cool Story, I met my fiancรฉ traveling she is so amazing, Be Safe, God Bless, Belus
Great way to met someone with common interest. Thanks for commenting, it helps our business grow. Best, Dan
You are a lovely couple. Please be safe. As soon as this virus is over I am booking a flight.
Cool. We will be heading to explore more of the Philippines when things get better. Best, Dan

Are you guys married
Just exclusive relationship so far. Thanks for commenting Mike. Dan
Warriena Wright is a famous case here in Australia. Met on tinder… jumped from the balcony to death same night of tinder hookup.
So sad. Qiang and I are alive and well. That sounds like something tshat need to be investigated.
Ive seen u guys before in dumaguete not knowing ur a vlogger ๐ welcome to the city of gentle people
Thanks Luvin. Are you from here? Best, Dan
Intresting couple indeed.
Thanks MC. And thanks for watching. It helps the business grow. Best, Dan
You are in Dumaguete ๐
Yes, we are loving it.
How’s it like to date Malaysian women? I was in KL but didn’t get a chance as I was there for only over a week but I enjoyed it and saw many beautiful ladies.
It’s good
Its just Strange How could they Regulate how many Hours Someone goes out.
They check passes assigned to you at the check points.
Why Did you Pick the Philippines to live ? I lived there from 1987-90 and It was such a Different place. Its not a Country that is Foreigner Friendly when it comes to banking or daily life.
Thanks for your inputs. I like it. Maybe things gave changed in the last 30 years.
This was my Biggest Issue in the Philippines was the Food…I do not eat pork or Chicken all that much. Maybe I would eat Fish once a Month here in the U.S.
You need to know how to cook. ๐
Qiang Hui, obviously a Chinese name
Yes. She is 3rd generation Chinese in Malaysia. She has a great family in Malaysia. Check out our Ho Chi Minh videos if you want to see her Mom and Dad visiting us from Malaysia.
Thanks guys, I quite enjoyed hearing how you found each other. Very endearing. Your journeys make me think of Cavafy’s poem Ithaca as you seem to be living it.
As you set out for Ithaka
hope your road is a long one,
full of adventure, full of discovery.
Laistrygonians, Cyclops,
angry Poseidonโdonโt be afraid of them:
youโll never find things like that on your way
as long as you keep your thoughts raised high,
as long as a rare excitement
stirs your spirit and your body.
Laistrygonians, Cyclops,
wild Poseidonโyou wonโt encounter them
unless you bring them along inside your soul,
unless your soul sets them up in front of you.
Hope your road is a long one.
May there be many summer mornings when,
with what pleasure, what joy,
you enter harbors youโre seeing for the first time;
may you stop at Phoenician trading stations
to buy fine things,
mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony,
sensual perfume of every kindโ
as many sensual perfumes as you can;
and may you visit many Egyptian cities
to learn and go on learning from their scholars.
Keep Ithaka always in your mind.
Arriving there is what youโre destined for.
But donโt hurry the journey at all.
Better if it lasts for years,
so youโre old by the time you reach the island,
wealthy with all youโve gained on the way,
not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.
Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey.
Without her you wouldn’t have set out.
She has nothing left to give you now.
And if you find her poor, Ithaka wonโt have fooled you.
Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,
youโll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.
Stay safe
Jaap

You are a lovely couple! Very happy for you that you enjoy traveling together. Qiang is a very stunning woman. I wondered why she never seemed to have a bad picture. The modelling explained it a bit but seems to have a natural beauty. Dan is a great guy too! I see you love what yo do!
Thank you! ๐ Qiang has a beaauty that comes from within, that is why she takes amazing photos. ๐ Thanks foir commenting Martin. Best, Dan
