Budapest, Paris, Porto, Lviv, Krakow, Prague, Vienna. In no particular order, but I was very impressed by Budapest the first time I went there.

Rio is also beautiful is we take the surrounding nature into account. The city itself is not particularly amazing (there are some nice neighborhoods for sure though), but the area in which it is located is incredible.

Thailand but lower your expectations and learn Thai.

Osaka at night. For nature, Hawaii.

For me that’s one of the main reasons. I don’t like driving, it’s too stressful and walking is much healthier/calming.

In Brazil, absolutely. I have some experience with that. Use OLX to sell it. Lots of people will contact you if you sell at price that is low enough. It’d help if you have a trustworthy Brazilian friend that can use OLX pay for you, but you can also just accept cash.

Pan flights, they allow you to search from region to region, which is very useful.

Oh for sure, I spent 4 months there in summer, but I wouldn't stay in winter. I came to terms with the fact that there was no perfect place on Earth a long time ago. Montréal came close for me, I made lots of friends very quickly.

Define dirt cheap? Also what happens if you have an accident? Health insurance in the US is twice as expensive with my nomad plan.

Some nomads like me also don't like car-centric cities. I like being able to walk everywhere (or at least use public transportation), and if there are cars around me, they shouldn't have priorities over pedestrians. By that I mean that traffic lights turn green more often so you don't have to wait for several minutes to cross the road, the speed limit is controlled, etc. It's a personal preference, and many cities in the US don't really fit those criteria.

I had a great time in the US as a tourist, but I don't see myself living there.

Most of US cities are not walkable, on top of being prohibitively expensive.

I liked Montreal as a more affordable city. It’s also one of those rare North American metropolises that is actually walkable to some degree, with decent public transportation.

You’re right to be worried about wise. They deleted my account recently without any explanation. Make sure you have multiple backups.
