I am considering a similar move but mine is likely to be more nomadic. I am finally at a point where my work is completely location independent. In theory, so long as I have internet I can work anywhere.

I am leaning heavily towards spending next May-June-July in Tallinn, Estonia but I need a couple non-EU spots that I can rotate through as well. (only allowed 90 day stay per 6 month period as an American in EU)

I was thinking of Thailand or Indonesia but Central or South America certainly is an option. My concerns are in order of importance...

Having a reliable internet connection.
English speakers to drink with (my Spanish is enough to get by but not to have a solid conversation)
Decent rent costs

Any thoughts? It looks like it would have to be Belize, Costa Rica or Panama.

Wow, man. Congrats to you! You are way out of my league as far as cash goes because a single plane ticket over to Thailand can be around 2 grand IIRC. Unless you like little boy looking women, I would come down here to Central America.

I did not research the far east but there are plenty of places just like you described in those three counties you mentioned. Belize has expensive housing on the coasts and too close to the Mexican decapitators for me. Panama, well, the have shitty beaches. Unless you go to the San Blas islands(you can't live there as it's owned by tribes) you will mostly find ugly. Costa Rica ended up perfect for me. Many nomad types here. If you search and ask around, decent internet can be found.

As for Americans, you will find all types here. Plenty of bars on both coasts to enjoy your drinks. Always have your skeevy liar radar on as those types are all over. I would elaborate more, and probably will later but I gotta run!

Cheers and enjoy whatever path you choose! :thumb:
