Living in Nanaimo
Canada · temperate
Nanaimo is a compact city of roughly 100,000 people with both the sea and mountains close by in Canada. The climate is temperate. It sits well off the usual tourist trail and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $2,300. Healthcare is strong, and the internet is fast enough for full-time remote work. People come here for hiking, diving, cycling.
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.
