I'm thinking of trying the digital nomad life in 2024 and was wondering what are some safe countries for women with a cost of living of around 1,000 USD or 1,500 USD?

The countries on my list for now are: Taiwan, Malaysia, Bali, and Thailand. However, I am open to other countries.

Thank you all!

Malaysia is wonderful. I have lived here for most of the last decade (made a mistake and moved to Georgia for two years but am back in MY now). I can go anywhere, anytime without any chance of being harassed or bothered in any way because of my gender or, frankly, any other reason. I love it and have no desire to ever leave!

Also, so cheap. In Tbilisi, I could only afford a one bedroom creaky apartment with drug dealers downstairs. For the same cost, I have a huge four bedroom gorgeous well-appointed house in Malaysia with a substantial tropical garden just 5 minutes from a breathtaking beach. Yeah. I love Malaysia.

How was Georgia? I’ve been looking into moving.

I'm not a fan. It was a bad two years for me. Expensive, aggressive, people are largely miserable (justifiably) and wildly conservative. Hard life there.

I met many amazing Georgians who I miss very much (I taught at a secondary school there and the youth are great) but I was overjoyed to get out of there.

Also, the dogs are great and the landscape is stunning. Fascinating culture and history but being back in a peaceful place is great.
