Скачать или смотреть How to Grow Old Without Growing Dull (Lessons From 50 Years in Bangkok)

In this episode, I sit down with Russell, aka “The Rascal”, a 74-year-old American who has lived in Bangkok for nearly 50 years. Arriving in Thailand in 1977 after working on Apocalypse Now, Rascal stayed, built a life, married across cultures, raised a family, and watched Bangkok transform from a gritty sprawl into a global megacity.

Rather than retelling old war stories, this conversation begins around the year 2000 and explores what it really means to grow older abroad. We talk about marriage, money, aging in Thailand, driving in Bangkok for decades, staying curious, staying solvent, and staying happy when the adrenaline phase of life has passed.

If you’re thinking about life abroad, retirement overseas, or simply how to age with grace, humor, and independence, this one’s for you.
