Cost of our nomad living in Aruba: Staying in paradise for 4 weeks can be cheaper than staying at home

Staying for a month in paradise on a Caribbean island costs tens of thousands of dollars right? We assumed it can only be affordable for 5 days or 10 days max unless you are a gazillionaire and it’s probably only worth it for a special occasion like a honeymoon. We never heard of any digital nomads or slow travelers going there, so it must not be practical. Well we have some good news for you, it is very doable and can be cheaper than staying at home! Are you ready to go explore Aruba?

We choose these places based on few factor which the main were 1) wifi quality (especially for Mrs. Nomad Numbers who was working remotely on that trip), 2) things to enjoy over a relatively long stay (4 weeks in average for us) and of course 3) safety.

Cost of our nomad living in San Miguel de Allende

After having such a great time in Oaxaca City where we felt we experienced for the first time what authentic Mexico is, we spent 4 weeks in San Miguel de Allende (SMA) as our last leg of our 100+ days trip to Mexico. While Oaxaca City set the bar pretty high on so many fronts, SMA turned out to be our favorite place of all the places we explored in Mexico and one we are planning on coming back to.

Weekend Guide – Tepoztlan, Mexico

Tepoztlan is a really small town in a beautiful valley that is famous for its spas, meditation, alternative medicine clinics and a very traditional city center. It is one of the 121 Pueblo Magicos you will find in Mexico. It is a timeless place that will bring you back in time as lots of the city has a very particular charm. It is a place that must be visited and we urge people to consider visiting before it become more popular as the tourists might take Tepoztlan’s magic away!
