    Hey man. I want first to say you should have way more viewers from the editing to show the actual price of things. This was a professional job, so well done. I’m going from Canada, so I converted your cost to Canadian dollars, and man, wow. I’ve looked into Europe for my first international in a long time, and more Eastern Europe and Sofia, Bulgaria may be my first stop come April. Seeing this breakdown was a job well done.

    Great video! Thanks! I have a question: Is it easy to rent outside of Airbnb? Or is that the best option for monthly accomodation for nomads? I mean, I'm sure the local market is cheaper than Airbnb, but I don't know if they rent for short stays. LOVED YOUR CHANNEL!

    • @CameronImpastato
      @CameronImpastato  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for such kind words, it means so much when I know they're finding the right people. When moving month to month I stick with Airbnb for the convenience. If I were to stay for more than a month I would start in a super cheap place then tour other options. For this I'd post what I'm looking for on the local FB groups and reach out to some local Realtors. I'd also look for other rental sites as each town seems to have it's own version of Craigslist. Short term is possible, you'll pay a little more though :).

    • @Nelcoss
      @Nelcoss ปีที่แล้ว

      800 per month per student of course, would you think we would live comfortably considering we would split the costs of rent and monthly bills, like electricity, Internet and ect

    • @CameronImpastato
      @CameronImpastato  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Rent is usually the most expensive cost when in a foreign country. Depending on that and how you eat/cook at home - yes you could live well. It might look like this:
      $250 rent
      $50 misc
      $50 transport
      $50 emergency
      $250 food
      $150 fun
      Expect to experience stress the first month as you adapt. Get through that first month with money saved and the remaining months will be good.

      I live in a family of 4 at around 1000$ a month, I can confirm this. Also it is very very rare youd find a person who earns 1500$ a month, definitely not average. More like high society.
