🌍

Cowes (Isle of Wight) is a small town of roughly 20,000 people on an island in United Kingdom. The climate is temperate. It keeps a balanced mix of locals and visitors and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $2,200. Healthcare is strong, and the internet is fast enough for full-time remote work. People come here for sailing, swimming, cycling.

È un’isola raggiungibile ogni giorno, e questo cambia molto per chi ci vive tutto l’anno. Il servizio sanitario pubblico (5/5) è più solido del privato: qui l’assicurazione è un extra, non una necessità.
