Living in Banff
Canada · cold
Banff is a village of roughly 8,000 people near the mountains in Canada. The climate is cold. It has a lively, popular feel and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $2,600. Healthcare is strong, and the internet is fast enough for full-time remote work. People come here for skiing, hiking, quiet days.
Il servizio sanitario pubblico (5/5) è più solido del privato: qui l’assicurazione è un extra, non una necessità. È uno dei posti dove vivere fuori rete è davvero praticabile, sia per legge sia per spazio. Chi nasce in Canada è cittadino, quale che sia la nazionalità dei genitori.
