Living in Ora (Seram)
Indonesia · tropical
Ora (Seram) is a tiny hamlet of roughly 500 people with both the sea and mountains close by in Indonesia. 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 $850. 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, hiking.
È un’isola raggiungibile solo poche volte a settimana, e questo cambia molto per chi ci vive tutto l’anno. La sanità privata (3/5) è nettamente migliore di quella pubblica (1/5): metti in conto un’assicurazione. È uno dei posti dove vivere fuori rete è davvero praticabile, sia per legge sia per spazio.
