Before you dismiss this concept as too expensive or impossible, hear us out because there are a lot of benefits to Slow Travel that you might not have considered.
Lots of countries are PRICING expats out of residency! Places like Mexico, Greece, and Bulgaria have dramatically increased visa income and investment requirements over the past year.
And other countries are changing tax laws like Portugal and Thailand, which means your cost of living is going to be much higher there.
Unless you have a lot of money, it’s getting more and more difficult to get residency!
So in this video, we’re going to talk about a LEGAL alternative that will allow you to live abroad without the hassle of getting residency.
And it may even save you a lot of money in taxes and legal fees!
You might have already guessed that we’re talking about Slow Travel.
It’s also called being a Slowmad or Digital Nomad if you’re still working.
