Pack the luggage! We found 15 dream places where living is cheaper than you thought. Of course, they are not perfect places, but the adventure, the radiant sun and the crystal-clear water are worth it.
Indonesia
They say that in Indonesia you can eat, pray and love. Well, and you can also live comfortably without having to have a lot of money. The prices are quite affordable: you can eat well for less than a dollar, live decently for $ 150 a month, but it is only possible to work via internet since the unemployment rate is very high.
Cambodia
Cambodia is one of the main destinations for travelers with limited budget. There it is also possible to have a decent life for little money.
For example, $ 5 dollars is enough for local fishermen to prepare a crab fish dinner for themselves. Any other type of seafood does not exceed $ 2 dollars per kilo.
So, what is the problem? This is not a desert island full of paradisiacal beaches where you can lie down under an umbrella for hours and hours. Here the beaches are “decorated” by stray dogs and other forest dwellers. The perfect choice of who wants to flee from civilization.
Vietnam
The south western coast of Vietnam is proud to host 11,000 hectares of tropical forest, besides being one of the best places in Asia to practice diving and underwater hunting: very close to the coasts there is a great barrier reef and even in “High season” is possible to enjoy its attractions without the presence of hundreds of tourists.
That’s why living here costs $ 150 to $ 200 per month. Of course, you will have to get used to living closely with the local inhabitants who in many cases do not speak English. On the street, be careful with motorcycles.
