Living in Espiritu Santo (Port Olry)

Vanuatu · tropical

🌍

Espiritu Santo (Port Olry) is a village of roughly 2,000 people on an island in Vanuatu. The climate is tropical. It keeps a balanced mix of locals and visitors and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $1,350. Healthcare is limited, so serious care may mean travelling, and the internet can be patchy for heavy remote work. People come here for diving, 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. È uno dei posti dove vivere fuori rete è davvero praticabile, sia per legge sia per spazio. Non esiste imposta sul reddito delle persone fisiche.
