Living in Port Louis
Mauritius · tropical
Port Louis is a compact city of roughly 150,000 people with both the sea and mountains close by in Mauritius. 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 strong, and the internet is fast enough for full-time remote work. People come here for food and eating out, swimming, diving.
Da segnalare: metro express, 30 km e 22 stazioni fino a curepipe. È un’isola collegata tutto l’anno, spesso più volte al giorno, 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. Il reddito prodotto all’estero in genere non viene tassato qui.
