What if living abroad could cost less than staying home?
Travel writer and author Tim Leffel challenges what we think we know about the cost of living abroad. He shares where your money goes further, how to distinguish “cheap” from truly good value, what $2,000 vs. $5,000 a month can get you around the world, and how to test-drive international living without turning your life upside down.
If you’ve ever dreamed of living abroad but assumed it was financially out of reach, this episode might change how you think about what you can afford.
