#TBT to my visit to "Ecuagenera,” a family-owned company specializing in producing and conserving 8,000+ orchid species and hybrids! On my first visit 9 years ago, I discovered the ‘monkey orchid’ that looks just like a small monkey's face and this time I saw a rare black orchid beginning to bloom!

I made a carrot and jicama pickle brine! I always love making these kind of quick pickle mixtures from time to time since it helps complement the flavor of a meal. And if you don’t know how to “quick pickle” something, come on over to my Patreon where I show you how it’s done! #homemade #patreon

Grocery prices in a city like Merida, Mexico can get you a pound of cherries for just 84 pesos ($4) and a whole jug of water only costs $1.41! But it's even more shocking when you see the price reveal for ALL these groceries and just how cheap living abroad really is on my Patreon/DonovanTyee.

#TBT to the best vegan and gluten-free desserts I ever had in Manila, Philippines from the Wholesome Bakery! With so many good desserts offered, it’s difficult to leave with only one of their goods so I left with THREE for only $8: a fudge brownie, nanaimo bar, and a slice carrot cake! #food #travel

To all my Americans: what’s your backup plan for when this ship starts to sink again? 🤔 And if you don’t have one, consider getting a go-bag ready just incase. Always remember that America is not your only option and living abroad costs less than you assume. #travel #2025 #vibes

Here in Mexico, you can easily go to your local grocery store and walk out with a stack of fresh fruit for only $9 or less.
Here's the fruit salad I made with what I bought! #foodie #breakfast #snack #mexico #groceryhaul #travel

To me, America First means ensuring every American has housing and healthcare, not freezing grants going to Americans or renaming the Gulf of Mexico.

Throwback Thursday! Back when I got into gardening and assembled a hydroponic garden in my living room that could grow 100 heads of lettuce in a single month! Every harvest was made into salad cups and sent off to any homeless shelter that needed it! I ended up feeding +1,000 people in my community!

Fun fact: Did you know that most other countries don't care about credit scores or do background checks in order for you to stay a long time?
The Philippines is one of these places!
Because it's time to jump ship from America more than ever before, come over to my TikTok and see what you’re missing!
