Living in Lalomanu
Samoa · tropical
Lalomanu is a village of roughly 1,000 people on an island in Samoa. 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 $1,200. Healthcare is limited, so serious care may mean travelling, and the internet can be patchy for heavy remote work. People come here for swimming, diving, quiet days.
È un’isola raggiungibile solo poche volte a settimana, 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.
