> Just have to balance that cost with our budget.
Just to give you an idea of potential savings: Including utilities and fiber optics into my house I pay $500/month (two bedrooms, fully furnished house with giant terrace) - the same is available online for $120/day. This is in southern Morocco and even the 500 I pay include a tourist penalty fee. Local cops start with a salary of $220/month...
- nabeards 9y agoThat's an amazing savings. We are enjoying Panamá (the country, not the city) currently with a rent of $250 per month, internet included. The challenge we are currently facing is finding a place in the US for two-three months that's actually affordable. Even the hotels are crazy expensive for short stays. It definitely seems like picking a city, getting there in a hotel, and then finding a place is a better strategy than finding something online. I've been to countless websites that return an error when I put in our target dates: 'our reservation system doesn't allow dates longer than 30 days'!?! LOL Then, almost everything for our target duration is 'vacation rental', which means they want at least $500 per week.
