Great idea, but I can't find any information about healthcare? It might be great to live in Thailand where you have to spent just a little for living but what happens if we compare this with their healthcare system?
That's probably true for most major cities outside of the US.
The cost of life is pretty cheap around here ($500/month is the average salary for a teacher, the minimum income is around $200/m), and its getting cheaper with the decline of the tunisian dinar Vs $ & €
I live near the cities of Sousse & Monastir, and i can share few thoughts:
- rent for a decent apartement is about $300/m in the city and less than $200 outside
- food is relatively cheap around here, with a wide variety of fresh fish
- Monastir is a beatiful city, good climate, excellent beaches, the travel to the aeroport cost less than15 min and 50 cent , with weekly/biweekly flights to major european cities.
- Tunisia is actually very safe and stable, major touristic destinations(hammamat, sousse, monastir, djerba (which btw is a very decent destination) are given more attention by the Interior minister.
- internet quality is not on par with the 1st world, 8Mb cost around $40/ m
- french is widely spoken, english is understood especially by youth
- wikitravel have some good ( and accurate) articles about tunisia & tunisian cities
It misses Bangalore, India. You could live a good life for $750.00 a month. For an additional $35 a month, you can get a 60MBps internet connection. Weather is pretty pleasant throughout the year. You could sample quite an assortment of cuisines too. Meetups are fairly active as well. Negatives: Traffic is terrible, but I stay indoors most of the time. Vendors do not speak English, but the number of non-Indians is hi…
I would think crime rate should factor into this as well. It's at least as important as weather.

Hi HN! I made this. Here's some info on the data before everyone goes berzerk :) Firstly, it's crowdsourced from this spreadsheet http://nomadlist.io/edit/ so it might not be 100% accurate. Secondly, NomadCost != cost of living. NomadCost is based on short-term staying in a hostel, hotel or apartment in the center, working in a coworking space and having a basic meal three times a day. That's the average digital noma…
Looks good but really needs Celsius. Most of us don't know Fahrenheit. Also, why is hot green? Shouldn't it be red? You don't want to be somewhere that's over 25C.

I live at Sao Paulo (damn expensive) but it is not that dangerous - like many other big cities, there are places you should avoid to walk alone at night.
