Food has always been a huge part of our living abroad experience.
That’s why we started @DOCandBEANEATS 🍜
It’s where we share what everyday food actually looks like when you live overseas. Not just restaurants, but real local eats.
This video is a perfect example
Bangkok Street Food Roasted Duck Noodles & 7-Eleven Snacks
➡️https://youtu.be/pOt37XXZkpc?si=Q06bU...
Street food, quick bites, and the little things you end up eating when you’re actually living here.

One year ago, this is where our moving abroad journey truly began.
We filmed ourselves selling everything.
Letting go of comfort.
Saying goodbye to the life we knew.
At the time, we didn’t have all the answers.
Just a clear feeling that staying felt heavier than leaving.
That video wasn’t about Thailand.
It was about choosing a different life.
If you’re thinking about living abroad or starting over, sometimes the hardest step is the first one.
And it starts long before you ever get on a plane.

For Anyone in the Middle of Moving Abroad
The paperwork is annoying.
The decisions feel heavy.
Doubt creeps in.
That doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.
It means you’re doing something real.
You don’t need every answer today.
You just need the next step.
If you’re still researching, still planning, still thinking about living abroad, you’re already ahead of most people.
Keep going. You’re closer than you think.
Drop a ✈️ if you’re in the process of moving abroad.

Before choosing a neighborhood, ask yourself:
Can I walk?
Can I eat nearby?
Can I get around easily?
What’s your top priority when picking where to live?

Before we moved to Bangkok, we thought choosing a neighborhood was all about rent and BTS access.
Living here changed that.
We just dropped a new video breaking down the best Bangkok neighborhoods to move to in 2026

When we first started planning our move to Bangkok, neighborhoods were one of the hardest decisions.
We made a video back then sharing our thought process and what we were looking for before ever living here.
Now we want to hear from you.
What’s the one thing you care about most when choosing a neighborhood?
Drop it in the comments.
We’ll link the original video below for anyone who wants to see our mindset at the time.

Everyone talks about the money side of retiring abroad.
Almost nobody talks about what it actually feels like once you do it.
We shared the part people leave out in our newest video.
If you’re thinking about retiring abroad or leaving the US, this one matters.
