Varna, Bulgaria takes the spotlight as one of the world’s top affordable destinations, according to a new International Living report.
The publication found that couples can live well overseas for around $1,200 a month, with 14 global spots offering solid value. These range from Albania’s beaches to Bali’s rice terraces, each blending low costs with satisfying lifestyles.
Editors say budgets typically cover rent, groceries, utilities and even nights out.
The key takeaway: choosing smaller cities pays off big. From mountain towns in Romania to tropical escapes in Sri Lanka, $1,200 a month can stretch surprisingly far.
My Take…
Never heard of Varna in Bulgaria. One thing is for sure, people are using location arbitrage to find a more affordable lifestyle. I love it! 🙂
