I just left Kenya which has a couple of things going for it: - $1k allows you to comfortably live a upper middle class life-style - It has a thriving tech scene, lots of interesting startups coming up (I know because I just had to close mine) and lots of techies looking for work. - $1k also pays the salary of a decent developer there - It is culturally very different to the US and offers interesting perspectives Things I did not enjoy: - A quite "negative" post-colonial mind-set. I struggled to deeply connect with locals because there is a big divide. This is a complicated topic imo. - Traffic in Nairobi is bad
