English speaking countries only apply to countries that had a history with the British Empire and English is the native language of the people. for example, New Zealand is an English speaking country because it has ties with Britain and the British Empire.
Yes during dry season, malaysia is hot and humid. Between April and September. But this period, you will see many wildlife like orangutans, pygmy elephants, proboscis monkeys.
I actually rather look for a country that most people don’t speak English. I much rather assimilate to the culture than people speaking English with me.
South Africa ? Most of the people there are fleeing?
Kristin is no longer a nomad. I wont view any more videos.
A lot our retirement options disappeared with all of the non assimilating migrant upheavals and violence around the globe.
As of now Belize is my #1 but Malta, Philippines and Malaysia are intriguing.

I am surprised Germany is not on the list. I have visited multiple German cities small and large, almost every one speaks English fluently. And Germans are extremely helpful, contrary to popular belief, IMHO. I am thinking of living in Berlin for the Spring/ Summer after I retire next year.
You can live in Costa Rica, Panama just with English skill too
telling people to move to South Africa, now THAT is hilarious.. thanks for the laugh.
I was surprised by some of the countries on your list such as Malaysia and Singapore.
Hi Kristin..again I'm in a dilemma which country is the best for me! And I find that, certain parts of US and UK are my favorites, despite the drawbacks if any.! In US, I love New England side especially Bar harbour in Maine, Massachusetts, and Certain parts of Florida, Washington DC, Oregon,Tennessee etc. There're many in US.! In UK, I love Scotland, Ireland, and many other pristine villages of UK.! And you're looking so pretty.😊
New Zealand and Australia? I’ve never been but curious why the English speaking countries are not on the list. They look beautiful.
The feng shui of your set is claustrophobic IMHO. A window would provide an outward element. Maybe yellow paint would evoke sunrises.
How does the USA rank for incoming non-Americans?
How do USA territories rank for relocating Americans?
Hi Kristin..I've been watching you for years now and I don't think I've seen you tackle the subject of moving possessions from the States to another country. (Cost, logistics, import tax etc). I know it's hard to do a 'generic vid' on this due to variance in import policies between countries…but generic would at least give some things to think over. I'm a musician and will NOT be 'selling all of my stuff' when I move abroad. Hope you're doing well in Florida.
Thank you, I don't want to learn a second language.
Interested in learning more about Belize's digital nomad visa. Their Visa application form does not have an option for digital nomad. Would be helpful to get a link. Thanks
Good to see the Philippines made your list and good that you didn’t include Manila. Just the worst traffic and too dense.
Baltic countries have a low cost of living, awesome culture and most people speak english, I'd say almost all under 50 do.
Philippines, the call center capital of the globe
Nothing here interesting this time Krispy…we're waiting for an update on Georgia or N. Cyprus.
Considering the fact that Flanders have even a higher score than the Dutch concerning English and have had that for decades I'm very surprised no mention of Belgium (where a vast majority of people are tri-lingual) , add to that all kinds of international companies as well as lots of official HQ's such as NATO, SHAPE and the EU, high quality of healthcare and very much a logistics hub for Europe, world diamond center, 2nd biggest harbor in Europe, high level of safety etc.

Visited Antwerpen Belgium and found it very nice, plenty of english spoken
The Netherlands sounds good too, except for the COLD WEATHER
MY other BEST place that speaks english is MALTA, found it very interesting and a nice place to spend time. LOT of jobs there but they won't even look at you unless you are physically there
Belize…gawd no ..
Lol these are not English speaking countries, most of these are countries where English is spoken as a foreign language. Big thumbs down to you.
