Travel Thoughts embraces all topics pertaining to travelling, remote working and lifestyle. We report on accommodation, food and drink, prices, events, internet services, ambience, attractions, laws and anything influencing choice of location. Travel Thoughts' primary goal is to find great, friendly, warm destinations to settle permanently, temporarily or be based in that provide a good standard of living for Westerners seeking an alternative lifestyle. Travel Thoughts' first stop after leaving the UK on 23 June 2017 was Mexico, followed by Costa Rica, the USA, Dominican Republic, Switzerland, Belgium, Cyprus, Greece, Thailand, Vietnam, Bali, Singapore and Australia. The international journey was suspended because of Covid, but UK videos and specials were uploaded during the bug-infested years. We resumed with Barbados in 2022 and will post with new material from South East Asia where we have been since January 2023.
