Living in Mentawai (Tuapejat)
Indonesia · tropical
Mentawai (Tuapejat) is a small town of roughly 10,000 people on an island in Indonesia. The climate is tropical. It sits well off the usual tourist trail and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $850. Healthcare is limited, so serious care may mean travelling, and the internet can be patchy for heavy remote work. People come here for surfing, swimming, quiet days.
È un’isola ben collegata d’estate e molto meno d’inverno, e questo cambia molto per chi ci vive tutto l’anno. La sanità privata (3/5) è nettamente migliore di quella pubblica (1/5): metti in conto un’assicurazione. È uno dei posti dove vivere fuori rete è davvero praticabile, sia per legge sia per spazio.
