Live Better, Spend Less: Small Towns Abroad to Consider

from Moving Abroad: Create a New Life in a New Country · host Paper Planes Publishing

In this episode of Moving Abroad: Create a New Life in a New Country, we explore a powerful idea that many expats swear by: the best life abroad isn’t always in big cities — it’s in small towns. Inspired by International Living’s latest report, we highlight underrated destinations around the world where you can enjoy a slower pace, stronger community, and a higher quality of life — often at a lower cost. From charming villages in Europe to peaceful towns in Latin America and Southeast Asia, these locations offer a more authentic way of living. We break down what makes them so appealing, including affordability, lifestyle, access to nature, and the sense of connection that often comes with smaller communities. If you’re dreaming of a move abroad but want something quieter, more affordable, and deeply fulfilling, this episode offers a fresh perspective on where you might truly feel at home.🔎 Podcast Episode CreditInternational Living — “21 Small Towns Where You Can Live Better—Often for Under $2,000 a Month”You can learn about additional countries to move to in our new book, "Freedom Abroad: Ten Countries for Americans Ready to Relocate" and you can purchase a copy ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!Specifically interested in moving to Ireland?
