2Freelancing around the globe
- Travelling and freelancing can be like a match
made in heaven if its done right. Experiencing
different cultures, broadening your horizon and
never having a dull moment as you travel around
the world may sound just a little too good to be
true, but it is definitely possible as a
freelancer. - Picking out the cities you visit and live in is
not a task that should be taken lightly. Finding
just the right mix of affordability, networking
opportunities, good weather and any other aspects
you might consider requires extensive research.
To give you a little nudge and set you on the
right track, we made this list of five cities
that you should definitely consider if you want
to be a globetrotting freelancer.
31) Chiang Mai, Thailand
- With its 160,000 citizens, Chiang Mai is the most
important city in northern Thailand and a
sprawling freelance hub. It is very much on the
lower end of the cost scale a month there will
be roughly 600. This estimate, as all others in
the article include a hotel, hostel or apartment
in the city plus three meals a day. Definitely a
city to consider for those of you who love sunny
weather, with average temperatures of around 26
C (75 F). Internet connectivity is good at an
average of 20 Mbps.
42) Prague, Czech Republic
- Next stop central Europe. If youve never been to
Prague, it is absolutely a destination to
recommend, for both work and travel. This
beautiful city will be a bit more taxing on your
finances, with a rough estimate of 1100 which
may vary a lot depending on accommodation and
eating habits. Internet connectivity is amongst
the highest from this list and the great air
quality and the absolutely mesmerizing scenery
put the cherry on the cake.
53) Taipei, Taiwan
- Our next journey leads us to the wonderful island
known as Taiwan and its capital Taipei. Here you
will find an incredible mix of traditional
Chinese and Japanese culture with influences of
Confucianist beliefs and Western values. If
youre interested in that, Taipei should be on
top of your list. It will cost you a pretty penny
though, with a monthly estimate of about 2000
which can, again, vary a lot. Warm weather and
great internet connectivity wrap it up for
Taiwans capital.
64) Bangalore, India
- Next off we will be flying over to India and the
capital of the Karnaka state, Bangalore. With 8.4
million it is the second biggest city in the list
and something you should look into if youre more
the metropolitan type. Known as the Silicon
Valley of India, this city has a lot to offer if
youre doing anything connected with technology.
It is also the cheapest destination on our list,
hovering slightly below 600 a month. It has a
pleasantly warm climate all year long. Bangalore
is definitely a city worth being number 1 on our
list, but the slow internet speed averaging
around 5 Mbps can be off-putting to freelancers
who like to always be connected on the move.
75) Buenos Aires, Argentina
- And finally we set off to South America and its
second-largest metropolitan area. Buenos Aires,
the capital of Argentina has a staggering amount
of people living in it 15.5 million. It is
extremely culturally rich. The sheer number of
festivals, concerts and theater plays in Buenos
Aires place it amongst the top in the world.
That does come at a price, however. You can
expect to pay around 1,700 monthly and the air
pollution is highest here, compared to the other
cities on our list so keep that in mind.
