Northern Quebec: say Rouyn-Noranda. Cold, remote and inexpensive and not a long bus ride to Montreal for adventures.

I've got a cottage about an hour away from Rouyn. (Roo-on, as the English folk call it.) It's definitely inexpensive, with good beer. Not sure about the internet though. And while the summer is short it'll be hot!

in Canada: Victoria, BC. Halifax, NS. Montreal, QC. Waterloo. ON.

Waterloo is cheaper than TO, Ottawa, Kingston, etc. But even cheaper (and just as close to Toronto) would be a smaller town without a university. I hear that Mt Forest, ON has fibre.

Kharkiv, Ukraine: university town, lots of IT companies and meetups, cold but not as cold as Moscow or Estonia, very cheap prices, US/EU passports get 90 days entry, visa-free.

There is this whole Russia thing (we're 50km from the border), so if that's a problem, try Kyiv or Lviv or Odesa.

Can you do thailand-style re-entry runs every 90 days?
