Protecting Yourself Abroad | Do this After You Leave the US to Stay Safe

If you don’t ever plan to return to the US, why do you still keep your US citizenship?

America got beef with everyone smh… we going down

Hello, I don't see your mailing list, I'd like to sign up.

Are we to be concerned about the Mexican cartells

This was very informative, thank you. Please make a video on foreign bank accounts. I want to open an account with HSBC because they are international. On another note - I would not be surprised if Americans seek asylum in MX.

This is such valuable information 👍🏾. That man baby and his sh!tty diaper is exploding on the US and will eventually leak out on the rest of the world. What a mess his voters created. SMDH!

Another very informative episode. However, many of the tips are applicable no matter where one resides. Unfortunately, we live in a world where awareness and preparedness shold be priority and can be a game changer.

Good Day Everyone I am watching on the replay.

Thanks PickyGirl for this information.

Watching the replay. I always learn something from your talks. Thanks!

Once when I was traveling through Mexico, I somehow lost my passport. I had to go to Acapulco to get to the nearest US Embassy. I was on a night bus traveling, and there were a bunch of soldiers along the route that kept stopping the bus. We all had to get out and present our papers. I didn't speak any Spanish, and I was the only English-speaking person on board. I tried to explain to the bus driver that I didn't have my passport, so he knew somewhat what I was dealing with. Every time I got asked, I would try and explain my passport was stolen. The army folks were so angry, but for some reason, they'd let me get back on the bus after yelling at me. I'm sure it was holding up the bus. At our final stop before we arrived in Acapulco, we got stopped again. I was dreading it. When they got to me, I again tried to explain about my passport. The men started complaining again. Suddenly, the bus driver started yelling back at the soldiers. They had a pretty tense exchange, and I was just holding my breath. Then the soldiers came back and were yelling at me even more. I started crying. The bus driver stood between me and the soldiers, said something to them, and then turned to me and said, "Get on the bus!" I got on the bus, crying. But they let us go. I got to the hotel and had some sleep, and then, I got up and went straight to the embassy. I was scared. They luckily got me a new one within 24 hours. Picky Girl is right- do NOT be out there in a different country and you don't have your papers on you!

I think it's smart to have money elsewhere. I think having your money with Chime or Paypal.... I bet the government couldn't stop those online banks from allowing me to access that money.

Are we a threat? Good thinking. The world is upside down.

Good morning from Austin, Texas. It is 10:27 am now. 1-29-2025. I appreciate you. I learned about your channel by watching Stephanie Perry's videos. I love motivational videos. Thanks so very much and keep up the good work.

Cathing the replay on Wednesday morning.

Catching the replay

I didn't know color copies of identifying documents were considered fraudulent. Are black and white copies okay?

Awesome video as usual. Good tip on securing a MX drivers license to carry on your person, as opposed to one's residency card. Never knew that about the color passport copy...wow!

Yes, upload the DITL video, please!

Excellent video 😊

One cannot have a false sense of security anywhere. Just saying.

Thank you for your platform.

This is a very scary video as someone trying to figure things out. But I appreciate the food for thought. It's definitely not going to far... 🥴

I don't understand color vs black and white copy of your passport. I keep a copy of my passport on me, and it just happens to be in color. Wow! I learn something new every day :)😊

The Trump administration has stopped issuing passports with the sexual designation of "X." It must be either Female or Male.

This video is all of my thoughts!

Watching the replay. I have been preparing to leave with my mother. I will leave an edited comment when I am done.

Thank you for a very informative and thought provoking session. Much appreciated.

I want to move to Mexico City, but I have 5 rescue dogs and renting a place might be a challenge.

Replay .hay hay 🎉❤😎

Threats of retaliation is a real concern...agreed.😮

Would I need to surrender my u s. Passport?

Good talk...🎉

Thank you for the straight talk! Too many people want to separate “politics” from the conversation but it is central, especially for POC.

Wow, I did not know about making a colored copy of your passport

Cash reserve - Wise doesn’t issue a credit card to Americans now. Will have to open a local account or find some other app 😑

You have done the best job covering all the bases. I’m brand new to living abroad and it takes getting used to.

Your commentary is so useful and smart. Thank you.

Thanks!

Replay! Various reasons for planning my exit at the ends of the year, however, if I can swing it closer to August even better! Also considering Co-living options, joining or starting a small, medium, even large co living community. Let’s talk about us grouping/collective resources, larger spaces, villas etc to benefit our overall daily needs, wants, enjoyments. Let’s talk

Make sure no one from one of the entities here didn't follow you over.... Sometimes one can be that insane on wanting to ruin your life that they might find you going out of a country an easier way to take your life.

Your videos are always on point. Thanks for all you do. I look forward to hearing more from you while on this journey.

I was in Cuba with my mom and daughter( Obama administration ) and I thought we were running out of cash. My ATM card would not work. Called and BofA said,” Oh ,we don’t do business in that country. Is there anything else I can help you with?” No. You are leaving me stranded and not allowing me access to my own money, so no. I didn’t think to check because the card worked seamlessly in Europe. Luckily my mom’s bank did allow us access and it turned out I did have more cash than I thought ( I mixed up the 2 different local currencies .) for 10
Minutes abject fear took over. Never again will I not do my research .

Just catching up on this one. Great information as always. 👍🏾
