Currently looking to DN for the first time, and have the opportunity to do so coming up in January. I have about 3500 USD per month available, but will have to work European hours (which will be around 6-12 in the evening in these countries).
I’m planning to stay at least a month, but have a hard time picking a country.
The Philippines, Taiwan and Indonesia are all high up on my list. Ive previously really enjoyed my time in Thailand, Korea, China and Japan, just travelling, and want to go for something different now.
Internet speed for video calling is likely the most important, weather, safety, cheapness and things to do and see come second.
Do you guys have any recommendations or which of these to pick, if it were up to you?
I’m open to Asian countries that I haven’t mentioned yet too.
Taiwan internet is the best and it’s cheap. Food is cheap as well. Train system is good. I suggest you go Taiwan first to adapt your new job.
Taiwan was my first solo trip (and first time in Asia). It was amazing. Indonesia was my second one. I would suggest Taiwan for the internet stability. Try to learn a little Chinese as well.
I hated the food in Manila, and I found Taipei boring. But if you’re gonna be by the beach, I think the Bali beaches and digital nomad community might be better
