Been living in Malaysia since 3 years. He's spot on, Malaysia is very underrated. Affordability, standard of living, food, diversity, everything is just right. Very thankful to be here in KL.

I live in Australia, working class, we no longer enjoy a “lifestyle” we live week to week, hand to mouth, we have zero savings and zero disposable, a once great place to live is now one of the most expensive, totalitarian controlled shit hole.

[duncansmith]

As a digital nomad, I can recommend Istanbul, Bogotá and Belgrade.
I've heard from others that street crime is something you have to be careful about in Bogotá, though I never experienced any.
Quality of life is excellent in Belgrade.

Lived in Malaysia for 2 years. Did uni there. Its basically first world infrastructure with third world prices. You can't beat it.

Ive been in the Philippines for 18 months. Malaybalay Bukidnon on the island of Mindanao. The weather here is COOL as its in the mountains. Filipinos are all taught English! Im living well on $1, 500 a month! And the women are Kind, Loving, Christian, and if you have merely my kind of money you will be looked for! I LOVE the people of the Philippines.

The poorest countries have the nicest locals where is the most expensive countries have the most toxic locals that are either racist or prejudice.

We loved Turkey so much after visiting Izmir, Antalya and Cappadocia, that we went back after spending a week in Sofia, Bulgaria, and visited Istanbul and Ankara. Hands down, the most affordable country with most hospitable and kind people and delicious food. Yes, I can see why it’s on this list ❤

[sammalik]

Turkey is a very good country but heard recently that Antalya is becoming very expensive since the Russian and Ukrainian war. So much so, that rents have jumped nearly 400% in some towns over the past two years.

[PoweredEvents]

Bulgaria, love it, history, people, food and wine, scenery, low tax, cheap property and easy access to Turkey, Greece, Romania and Serbia

Andrew, reading the comments highlights many of your points. I appreciate the free leads you give out on these videos for anyone to follow up on. Thanks for what you do (and put up with.)

Be careful choosing Ecuador. I went, did the residency stuff, spent 18 months, and by the end, I couldn't wait to get out of there.

Lovely people, but a lot of crime, a lot of danger, weak cuisine, and outside of Cuenca it's very uncared for and underdeveloped. If I had to go back, I would have lived in Baños or Limón Indanza.

Your money will not go as far as you think in Ecuador. Import taxes are huge. Shopping at the supermarket is more expensive than back home. Consumer electronics are overpriced. Clothing is more expensive. Footwear is VERY expensive. If an Ecuadorean can trick you into paying more, they often will, but they'll be nice and jovial about it.

I left 6 months ago and moved back to Thailand. I don't have to double check my door is locked, watch over my shoulder walking down the street, keep my phone out of sight, avoid dressing nicely so I'm not a target, or get ripped off.

If you're set on central/south America, I'd suggest Arequipa, Peru, or Atitlan, Guatemala.

I’m in Colombia and spent the past year exploring it. It’s a wonderful country. Although the prices in Medellin are going up like a rocket. I’m not a fan of large cities but Medellin is a blast. There are other cities I won’t mention that didn’t make his list and I’m glad because they’re my favorite and I don’t want any gringos showing up. 😂😂😂

[MR-zyff]

Fantastic info and service! Thanks much Andrew!

[hanafiroslan]

Thanks for highlighting KL. It is very affordable to live here, I pay RM1530 for the mortgage and earn as a freelancer in USD and Yuan, and my monthly commitment is around RM3000 overall and manage to save around 1500 USD a month, which is a very good start for me personally, as a local with subsidize government benefits, Malaysia is developing in slow pace but we surely get there one day.

[GastonMaqueda]

That is exactly what I'm doing.
Canada become very expensive to live and in low season I just make enough money to pay expenseses. Nothing more
During the low season I go to Buenos Aires (I have double citizenship) and spend there 4 or 5 months. You can live like a King there with less than a half of what I need here in Canada to just pay the basic expenses.

[perfecto]

Great video mate, thanks. Buenos Aires for me.

[heiko]

I just got back from spending 10 days in Managua, Nicaragua. I love that country, it is an undiscovered gem. Everything is very cheap, your Dollar goes a long way there. My friend who talked me into checking it out is renting a small house for $150/month about 10 minutes from the airport. It is very safe, the people are very friendly and easy going.

There is nothing wrong with Africa. There are developed, lush cities with alot of culture and modern amenities. In fact, a lot of expats are moving to places like Ghana, Kenya and South Africa.

After having spent 15 years living overseas and visited over 50 countries, my general rule is that if i need to brush my teeth with bottled water, I’ll visit but prefer not to live there. Honestly, it is hard to beat Portugal….safe, secure, nice weather, low cost, easy visa, etc….
