10 heavenly places where it is easy and very inexpensive to start a new life

If your job doesn't tie you to a place, it doesn't matter where you live. More precisely, it does - you can choose a place according to your taste, climate and aesthetic preferences.

Some truly heavenly corners of the earth are little noticed by those wishing to settle there, but in vain. We will now tell you about these secret places.

Formally, these islands are part of New Zealand, but they are located 2008 kilometers northeast of this archipelago. The local tropical beaches are not inferior to those of the Maldives or Seychelles, but housing here can be rented for $130 per month.

The locals are Polynesian aborigines, and they are not at all spoiled by tourists. No more than 100 thousand foreigners come here per year. For comparison: Hawaii attracts 8 million tourists per year.

What can you do here? Whale watching, hiking, enjoying the incredible scenery.

So what's the catch? Foreigners can't buy property on the island. But they can rent it for 60 years. To become a full citizen, you'll have to live here for a few years and get a special permit from the authorities.

This fairytale town is located in the Czech province of Bohemia. The whole town is like one huge medieval castle. All the streets are cobbled. There are regular Renaissance fairs here, as well as an incredible Rose Festival. A three-course meal for two here costs $20 all year round, and you can rent an apartment for $400 per month. And there is the Vltava River, an ideal playground for rafting enthusiasts.

The only problem is that to live a normal life here you will have to learn at least a little Czech.

This is a small island in the south of Cambodia. A real paradise of jungles and beaches. Almost no one lives here, except for a few fishing families. So you can find a suitable bungalow here for ridiculous money.

On the island you can relax on the beach or explore a local cave in the jungle. For $5, local fishermen will cook a delicious dinner from the crab they caught right in front of you. And any other seafood here costs $1-2.

What's the catch? This is not a clean beach island where you will lie under an umbrella for days on end. The wild local beach is sometimes "decorated" by packs of stray dogs or other forest dwellers. Just right for those who want to be away from civilization.

Right in the middle of Mexico is the culturally sophisticated city of Guanajuato. A great apartment can be rented for $150-200 a month, a glass of beer at a bar costs less than $1, and a movie ticket is a measly $3.

Ray Bradbury wrote the short story "Next in Line" about his experience here. There is also a famous arts festival called Cervantino, named after the author of the novel Don Quixote.

30 kilometers west of mainland Panama lies an amazing archipelago in the Pacific Ocean. Once upon a time, huge quantities of pearls were mined here. There was a time when the most powerful pirates hid here from the authorities. Now this place is a haven for magnificent resorts for locals.

You can rent a beach house for as little as $300 a month. The Pearl Islands are ideal for voluntary exile.

By the way, three seasons of the TV series "Lost" were filmed here. So, in terms of picturesqueness, these places are some of the most impressive on the planet.

The southern part of the Goa coast is where you can ride elephants right on the beach. You can buy a bottle of wine here for $0.5, get a haircut for $0.6, and rent a shack on the beach for $120 a month. Seriously, what else do you need?

This part of Goa is quite deserted, and the locals are not as spoiled by tourists as in other parts of the Indian coast. And in Agonda there are almost no hippies with their stupid plastic glasses. But there are a large number of temples and places for yoga.

This place is located in the valley of the river of the same name in the northern part of the country. The city is one of the coziest on the Bulgarian Riviera. It is as beautiful here as in France, but a bottle of beer costs only $0.80. The population is only 200 thousand people.

Interestingly, Veliko Tarnovo has seen the rise and fall of at least half a dozen world empires. And you can rent an apartment here for as little as $200 per month. The only drawback is the relatively poorly developed infrastructure.

The southeastern coast of Vietnam is famous for its 11,000 hectares of tropical forest. And this is perhaps the best place in Asia for diving and underwater hunting: there is a huge barrier reef here. And even on weekends, these places are free of tourists.

Therefore, housing here can be found for $150-200 per month. However, you will have to live here in close contact with local residents. Be prepared for them to share the beach spots with you.

The southern tip of Albania is an ideal place for a quiet life. Nearby is a small town and the Butrint National Park. The climate is Mediterranean, local products are olive oil and tangerines. Unlike neighboring Greece, Italy or even Croatia, it is very cheap here: beer costs 90 cents a bottle, housing is $100-120 per month.

Eat seafood (they sell 30 types of fish here, the average price of a dish in a cafe is $6), drink cheap wine ($6 per bottle), ride catamarans and hope that there will be no more tourists here in five years.

Some of the best mountain slopes in South America are here. It is the Andes, after all. You can ski here all year round, and rent a place to stay for only $300 a month. Rich tourists live on the slopes, and experienced ones live in the villages at their foot.

There's just one problem: it's almost always winter in these parts. But someone loves it, right?
