Hey guys! I hope everybody's having a great Sunday and a great weekend! I'm
just walking through Bansko on my way home from a co-working dinner. And it's
freezing as usual but here's the scene out here. It's like, I think a lot of
people are eating dinner right now. But it's been really busy this weekend
because they're having the World Cup of skiing in the next few days. So it's been
quite busy but I've been working all day today on lots of cool new projects while
regular work and then also video projects so I really am trying to finish
some stuff to share with you guys and announce them soon. so trying to make
some progress but I just wanted to pop in for a live stream and see if you guys
have any requests for this week. For any of the daily live streams, I have
some ideas as usual but I just wanted to check in and see if there's anything
that you guys want me to focus on this week. So hey guys! See the chat, live chat.
Hi thirty and a wake up what's going on?
Yes oh, I'm so excited, like the stuff that I've been doing. It's like I haven't
done it before. So it's just a lot of work but I think it will be worth it
once the finished product is done. There's like three new projects I'm
working on and then also some new digital Nomad destinations videos. Hey
Ahmed! I got to finish the patreon thing today, shoot. I forgot about that.
I've just been like working since I woke up this morning.
I have some relocations to Mexico so tomorrow I help a client move to Mexico.
And then in a couple days, I have another client moving to Malta.
So working a lot on, on helping people become digital nomads, as well or
relocate their digital Nomad selves from one country to another. About bansko is
there so many grocery stores here, like here, just look there's a one supermarket.
Here, one right there, one right there, and then like one on that corner. I've never
seen so many grocery stores. There's like five on every block. What did you guys
get up to this weekend? Oh cool! You like Malta! I used to live in
Malta and I'm in 2013. Yes, so basically every country that I help people
relocate to I've either lived in or traveled to a lot so most of them. I've
lived in like Mexico and Malta in Mexico. Where are you going? Oh yeah, St. Julien,
So I used to live in Aspen Ola Bay, my arm is sorry if it's really bouncy. I'll
try to make it less shaky. Yeah I lived right next to the love sign in Espinola
bay and St. Julian's. Pretty nice spot. And yeah Mexico City. Awesome! That's
where my client is moving tomorrow.
Actually he's staying at the Salina. Are you going there? Have you been before?
They have the best tacos in Mexico City. Going to Russia, October to December. Oh
wow! What's going on in Russia or you're just going? Oh with remote year, starting
in March. I've heard really good things about
remote year. I think when I first looked into it, it was their first year doing it.
So it wasn't so well organized but I've heard lately that it's gotten like a
really good company culture and it's become more of a
well-oiled machine. Oh you're gonna love Mexico City. Everybody used to think that.
Well everyone still thinks they think there's a lot of media about how Mexico
City is dangerous but it's huge. I mean it's like one of the biggest cities in
the world. So I didn't come across any really dangerous areas. But I was in like
La Condesa and Palermo neighbourhoods. And then I was also listening to. Oh I
was listening to the Maverick Show podcast, by my friend Matt Bowles. And he
had another podcast host, I forgot his name, this German guy who quit his job in
Germany and went on a one-year sabbatical and that one year turned into
like seven or eight years. And the first place he went was Mexico City and he was
saying, how he expected to see like human trafficking, and drug trafficking. when he
got out of the airport and he was like this is it so not like the TV shows and
the movies so it's kind of how things usually tend to go. But yeah, you'll
really like it and not cliche at all but Mexico City in particular compared to
like the coastal areas that I've been to a lot has the best tacos. So you have to
get a lot of street food and have like carnitas tacos. Hey Mike! Let's see who
else is here.
See the chat. Moscow, there's a program for doing business in Russia, taking a
program about taxation and foreign businesses like about just in Russia or
also in other countries. That's really interesting.
Oh that's Ahmed said. I've only been to the Moscow Airport but I would like to
go. Hey Nikolas! Nikolas said Mexico is one of the freest countries in the world.
It is! I mean there's so many free countries like democratic countries.
They're so excited for tacos. My friend of my friend Daniela I'm gonna call her
out. She's actually in really really good shape. She looks like a fitness model. She
looks like a supermodel basically. And I was with her and my other friend
MJ who owns a company called "Mujeristika" and she always is eating
very healthy. And we had to stop and get tacos. And I remember Daniela was like
basically in shock at how many I think it's carnitas like the pork tacos how
many she ate. She was like embarrassed. Oh good! So be careful but they do have
really spicy food there. Ahmed was living in Saint- Petersburg before. You love
winter there. Interesting! So I was in Estonia during October - November like a
year ago. And I was so close to St. Petersburg. I really wanted to go and I
didn't have time because I was working a lot. And I really wanted to just explore
Estonia. And but I had high hopes I was very ambitious I was like yeah I'm going
to take the ferry to Helsinki and I'm going to go to St. Petersburg for a week
but it is still pretty far because the distances
are so far over there and uh like Northern Europe and to Russia and I
did end up going to Helsinki but not through the ferry, through a flight. But
yeah, definitely gonna check out. I've almost been to Russia so many times,
almost went for the World Cup too and I didn't end up going because I was in
Bansko. Actually that was last summer. You're all in on over eating tacos. Hey,
this is the, this is what makes traveling so great. Is the food right? That's a big
part of it. I don't want to film people without their permission. So, um, yeah, let
me know guys in the comments or in the chat if there's any special requests
that you have for the live streams this week. And I can include some of those in
there. I'm gonna just do a quick stream today because I have that client moving
tomorrow. So he's in a different time zone so I'm gonna go call him now and
check in and make sure that everything's clear and see if he has any other
questions and then probably go to bed. Nick wants to do videos on TAC solutions.
Yes I do have an interview, there is one livestream just about taxes in general.
And then I have a Badass Digital Nomads episode coming out. And I think the next
three weeks but we can do of another stream on like a Q&A about about taxes
and I'll answer everything that I am allowed to answer because I don't have a
license to give tax advice or financial advice. But I can talk about just
generalities that I've learned and speak from personal experience which is
helpful because I have had to figure it out on my own for many many years and
I've gotten really bad advice from a lot of tax advisers. So I've had to figure it
out on my own. Awesome! Any other questions? If people are
watching this later you guys then leave them in the
comments and if you think of anything later just comment and I will see it
because I respond to every comment. So if you saw my apartment tour this is the
bakery downstairs and I actually haven't been go at all until today. And it was
really, really good. It's like a legit bakery. Only bread, no BS, no like other
stuff like. They're just focusing on fresh bread and it's so good. That's what
I also love about Bulgaria is that there's stores for like specific things
not just one store with every food like well they have that too but there's
specialty stores like the butcher, the bakery, and the vegetable store, and the
fruit store. Okay, you're a lawyer who knows tax stuff. Okay, great!
come to that stream. I'll announce it. I'll do a post and on YouTube when I'm
gonna do that one because I want to make sure I have enough time so it's not like
an impromptu stream. But I'm trying to do the streams around like 5 or 6 p.m. GMT
every day for the next few weeks. I pay taxes in the US since I'm a US citizen.
So I also pay taxes in Costa Rica because I have a business there. But I
don't have anything set up in Bulgaria. I have definitely been thinking about it
and I have really good contacts here, with um lawyers, and accountants, and
advisors in Bulgaria. If anyone needs for like residency who are setting up a
company or more taxes so I'm well connected here now and I have really
been considering making it a home base. But we'll talk about that there's
differences with US citizens are more limited with what they can do compared
to people of other countries because we have to always file returns regardless
of where we live. Costa Rica, yeah, I lived in Costa Rica for eight years.
And I have had a company in Costa Rica since 2005. Yeah so I've been doing real
estate there. And I don't do that much business there anymore but I still have
it. Yeah okay guys, I'm gonna go hop on that phone call. But any questions or
requests, put it down below and I'll see you tomorrow
around the same time, a little bit earlier. But we're gonna try to do it
between like 5 or 6 p.m. GMT. So that will be the approximate daily livestream
unless there's some extenuating circumstance that has to do with travel
or work or something like that. So alright guys. Have a great night!
See you tomorrow!
