Living in Macapá
Brazil · tropical
Macapá is a mid-sized city of roughly 510,000 people right by the sea in Brazil. The climate is tropical. It sits well off the usual tourist trail though personal safety is worth weighing carefully. A typical month of living costs around $950. Healthcare is reasonable, and the internet is fast enough for full-time remote work. People come here for fishing, wildlife and birdwatching, swimming.
È uno dei posti dove vivere fuori rete è davvero praticabile, sia per legge sia per spazio. Chi nasce in Brazil è cittadino, quale che sia la nazionalità dei genitori.
