But if I could work on the computer from anywhere in the world, I wouldn’t live in San Diego. I would rent somewhere in South America (like Rio) and hang out there for a while. Then I’d move on to Southern Europe (perhaps Italy or Croatia). There are so many great places in the world which are very nice and cheaper than San Diego (Tahiti, Virgin Islands, Fiji, Srilanka, Madagascar, etc…) For $4000/month I could lead an idyllic life overseas.
Last year I made a trip to Croatia to explore this possibility, and this year to Italy. Italy wins hands down for sheer beauty and life style but Croatia wins on price. Trouble is with the dollar being so weak (and with a potential collapse on the horizon), Europe has become much more expensive, which for many things it already is anyway. The other places I can’t speak for except to say some places may require visas. I came to the conclusion that Hawaii offers a lot of what I want, and although rentals are probably the same as California, at least its currency is the dollar, language is (mostly) English, and the adjustment won’t be horrific. Can’t think of a nicer hassle free place to sit this correction out. Any tips welcome!
