Argentina · cold

🌍

Ushuaia is a small city of roughly 80,000 people with both the sea and mountains close by in Argentina. The climate is cold. It sits well off the usual tourist trail and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $1,200. Healthcare is strong, and the internet is fast enough for full-time remote work. People come here for hiking, skiing, sailing.

È uno dei posti dove vivere fuori rete è davvero praticabile, sia per legge sia per spazio. Gli affitti sono saliti di circa il 89% in cinque anni: chi arriva oggi non trova i prezzi di cui ha letto. Chi nasce in Argentina è cittadino, quale che sia la nazionalità dei genitori.
