Why Europe?
You can backpack through Costa Rica or South Africa or Argentina for a tenth of the money. It's safer, better infrastructure and food than eastern Europe.
Many people there speak English. And every non-microscopic community has broadband internet.
Gotta get used to a soldier's routine, though. Wake up early and exercise and hidrate and survey areas before setting up and packing nicely and keeping clean and approach interactions with purpose and deliberation and regular medical checkups and comms...
Essential stuff to keep mobile, otherwise you crap out on accumulated problems. -
@JsonBoa Because it’s easy to get to and from the UK, many ex Russian countries are great and cheap. I can’t bare hot climates. I pretty much hate North Africa, Morocco in particular, I met some of the shittiest people on earth here. Cost to fly is relatively cheap.
I have been thinking about this for years but Brexit has kinda fucked things up. I am thinking of travelling and working, but now I am restricted to 90 days. The reason I have delayed is Brexit for one but my son is approaching 16, so I wanted to wait until he is on University. Let me get to the point, because i’m self employed I just need a computer and broadband, technically I can work anywhere and have always loved the idea of being a digital nomad. I am now thinking of how I can do this for 3 months a year, and how I can do it cheaply so I don’t have to work so much. Life is for living right? I have just watched a youtube video and am thinking wow! I could conceivably do this for 3 months a year. Just wondering about you guys wether it’s something that could really inspire you. Watch the video, it’s about the cheapest countries in Europe to live. and they are beautiful. Long airbnb rentals can be quite cheap. Love to know your thoughts and wether you have considered it or something like. https://youtu.be/-8hWB7spU7I
