I live in SF

I bounced between hostels and luxury hotels and airbnbs in central Europe last year, it was about $600 per month. With the luxury hotels being subsidized by reward points.

I pay over 10x more than that for pretty decadent living in SF. Not a complaint, I know what I'm doing. Just perspective.

I would highly recommend living abroad indefinitely.

Much appreciated. Looking into now. Need to use my Chase Sapphire rewards more or get an Amex travel card. Only Ukraine is open right now. Thinking about Odessa so that I can study the classical arts in between Sysadmin duties and life.

Croatia is open right now to Americans, which is decent and beautiful.

And from there you can get into Schengen if you aspire for that. Its not an Schengen wide policy so I wont say more. There are a lot of relationships in Europe.

Ukraine is probably cheaper but its up to you.

Thanks for the advice. Will look into Schengen visa. What are the best portals for finding work? I'll be remote until end of year with my current gig. But the 10 hour timezone difference will catch up to me.
