Hello digital nomadsI posted 2 months ago to take your opinion to quit my work and to work totally remotely or to stay in the multinational companies loopFinally took the decision and started the digital nomads life!Now wondering what countries I can visit and stay in for 3 month with average budget 700$ monthly? (since my salary is a little small xD)

Question

Accepted Answer

You probably already thought about this and this is probably not the first time somebody is telling you, but I read too many posts here that forget to take the complex nature of traveling into account so I am just going to leave my 2 cent advice here below, for you to do as you please.Though there surely are lots of places you can live on that budget (e.g. in Bulgaria you can get a studio apartment for 150 euros), be sure to have ENOUGH money saved away that you never touch and is only there in case of absolute emergency. Never travel the world without ENOUGH money to get yourself out of the country you are visiting and back to base last minute. This should ideally also accomodate for emergencies in between.Cheap traveling is definitely doable, done it myself, but it's not ideal.With that said, best of luck, you can do this, see you around and ENJOY!

Answer

You're going to make it happen... don't let these people discourage you. When I first started my digital nomad journey I was living off a whole lot less than that but just had to really grind it out to find gigs in each location. I suggest looking into Turkey... Istanbul is a bit more expensive, but still doable on as little as $500/month. Antalya would be cheaper..and it's gorgeous there.

Answer

I suggest you to make at least 300 extra. Travelling with 700 is possible but any little unexpected expense will ruin your month. And in these unexpected times unexpected expenses appears. Mandatory Covid tests, vaccines, insurance, lost mobile or documentation, just to give some examples.So glad you made the jump, good luck in this life journey!

Answer

Do you have a savings? I left $500 usd in cash with my dad and 500 in my bank account in case of an emergency or I needed to fly home. South America (Colombia, Bolivia, and Brazil  are the cheapest.) if you like smaller towns you may be able to survive in Peru and Ecuador. Consider signing up for workaway (you can stay in cool hostels in exchange for work.) Any country in Central America except for Costa Rica and Belize (kind of expensive). Plus Mexico livable with that budget. Keep in mind some land borders aren’t open and plane tickets on top of PCR Covid test can rack up. I suggest you find a country you always wanted to travel or go to (big enough to explore and allow you to save money for a plane ticket to another country if you get too bored.) Or choose a country that land borders are currently open. I haven’t traveled much in Europe but it may be worth looking there for cheaper countries as well. Good luck my friend!

Answer

There are many places on Earth where you can live well with 700€/month, even in Europe. The more expensive part is getting there and all the money you will need in search for accomodation.
