I live in a remote area of Pakistan, a very beautiful place 100000% opposite of main Pakistan. I work for a US based company from here. The biggest expense is internet (200 USD per month sett-lite based internet). All others are home grown like fruits, vegetable, flour, egg, meat. I will not move to any other place permanently. However travel Dubai, Turkey and Thailand once in a year to grab beer! I love this rhythm of WFH.

I work with someone in your exact situation on my remote team. The time zone difference is challenging but we’ve made it work and he is a very bright developer who I find invaluable to our team. I asked him one day if he ever wanted to move to America or Canada and his answer was the same as yours. It’s always interesting to get takes from outside of your cultural bubble. I am very happy where I am but I would be lying if I said your situation is not appealing to me (even if only for a little while).
You're basically living my dream. Do you ever travel to US for work?
Never been to USA, however will surely travel there someday.
