Thanks. You really should include health insurance / medical costs. Looking forward to our first scouting trip to Porto in April. btw - I am in my fourth month of language certification at 2x or 4 hours a week. I cannot imagine what it was like to go 5 days a week.
Loved the content and graphics. Would love a graphic with a safety score, crime score, English speaking score & healthcare system score for each country. What 2-3 cities would you be most interested in & why? Happy New year! Love your channel!!!
Thank you very much. We're glad that you liked it. We thought for pacing to keep this video simple and stick to the numbers but we'll take note for a future video. Thanks for the love. - Josh & Kalie
Please, take into account the Numbeo crime level index of the internet in these cities. A lot are not even for my wildest dreams, safety is bad and the crime level is unacceptable for me. Medellín ???
Thank you for this video … useful information . I’ve been watching your videos for a while now , but just recently subscribed . Happy new year to you … keep on enjoying Portugal !
Thank you for this wonderful video, your top 12 cities in the world with a monthly cost of living under USD1.5K. Glad that KL is in your list. Happy New Year 2025.
In Malaysia, besides KL the capital, there more cities to choose from with cost of living less than in KL. In Klang Valley & Selangor, there are Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, Putrajaya, Cyberjaya and other smaller cities. Georgetown in Penang is also a suitable location for expatriates. In Borneo, Kota Kinabalu in Sabah and Kuching in Sarawak are also another two options.
@@ExpatsEverywhereWonderful. Sorry to intrude. At the beginning of your project in Porto, I made a suggestion. But first, what is within the residential permit in Portugal, can you buy & own land and build a property on the purchased land. If you can, then, I'll go back to my suggestion. Find a suitable location of a land in Porto, build your own feasible residential property with your own blueprint & master plan together with several other mutual partnerships, it will definitely save your time & money. But then again, I guess it's better to fully focus on your current project. Again, sorry for this intrusion.
@@Yasin_Affandi things are moving forward with our current project as planned but we had to make a tweak that'll be explained in a future video. We have 40% of the new infrastructure built. - Josh & Kalie
@ExpatsEverywhere Thanks for featuring global options. I can attest that Nairobi and Buenos Aires would be excellent options for expats. I know some people are asking for more info (i.e., "safety"), but remember that safety can be subjective. For instance, as a mixed-race couple, my partner and I have to look at how we would be received, so safety as a racially mixed couple is at the forefront of our minds (putting countries in South America and Africa higher on our list). So, this list gets us started, but we still need to do our research.
Some rentals in that range might be furnished depending on the country. Some cultures don't do furnished rentals as much. So housing inventory will vary considerably. - Josh & Kalie
Interestedly you felt that European cities don't need to be mentioned along with the countries they belong to. I guess I have to Google it, but I'm too lazy...
We had to disable it but we should be back up and running soon-ish. I'm still filming and editing in the meantime. Thanks for asking and taking interest. - Josh & Kalie
I wish I could rely on your sponsor italki, but living on the west coast of the US, I found that the usable time slots for my European Portuguese was too narrow and too competitive with other users. I've gone to more expensive private lessons for timing consistency. :(
Research. We used Numbeo for the aggregated data. We stuck to the numbers and tried to give a wide variety of options location wise. The numbers are for singles but obviously things like a 1 bedroom apartment can be shared where as the transportation budget is for 1. One major thing to note is that the dining out is for 2 as it's how it's worded on Numbeo. - Josh & Kalie
@@ExpatsEverywhere Honestly, I don't think it's a great idea to recommend a place that you aren't personally familiar with. There's a lot more to a place than the numbers. Just my perspective. Enjoy your channel.

@ExpatsEverywhere That's a good progress. 😀
Very interesting! I had no idea it was so inexpensive!
There are some very cool cities out there for very little money. - Josh & Kalie

Great ChatGPT content.
This content is actually based around Numbeo numbers and pulling from other TH-cam video. - Josh & Kalie
Happy New Year, folks! 🎉😊
Happy new year!! Did you do anything special? - Josh & Kalie
Well done, thank you!
Thank you too! - Josh & Kalie
Great info - what is Porto total as a comparason
What happened to bankok, istanbul, izmir, da nang, nha trang?😮
If you're asking if those cities could work under $1,500. Yes. - Josh & Kalie
Do those rent prices include furnished?
Some rentals in that range might be furnished depending on the country. Some cultures don't do furnished rentals as much. So housing inventory will vary considerably. - Josh & Kalie

That wasn't intentional.
Skopje, North Macedonia
Batumi, Republic of Georgia
Wrocław, Poland

Yeah, that's fair. You're kind of at the mercy of the timezones of the teachers on the platform, right? Thanks for the comment. - Josh & Kalie
Twice a week 4:30 - 6:30 AM works great for me here in the CST. Not looking forward to the last few months starting at 3:30😮
I'm wondering how you came up with these choices and budgets (I'm assuming your budgets are for couples)? Have you lived in all of these cities?

São José dos Campos SP Brazil
Which of these cities has the best job opportunities and overall quality of life for that price? Curious to hear experiences! 🏙
Happy New Year!!! Great list - thanks for sharing!
Thank you! You too! - Josh & Kalie
