Except when you’re in a bathing suit, you’ll probably have underwear on when you’re traveling. Which means if you’re on a round-the-world trip lasting a year, you might…
[ad_1] Lots of major news outlets have covered the recent growth in countries offering some kind of digital nomad visa.

[ad_1] Sometimes when doing an interview about living abroad I get pressed for specifics with the question, “Why would your expenses drop in half by moving overseas?” Which expenses drop so much that you can coast by on $2,000 a month instead of $4,000?
