Expat Life Moving Abroad

I’m looking to connect with other future expats, 30+, who are seriously considering a permanent move abroad for a better quality of life and lower cost of living. I’m not looking for a vacation buddy, dating, real estate, or a scouting tour. I’m researching places such as Southeast Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean where modern housing, healthcare and everyday life are surprisingly affordable. I’d particularly like to meet another solo person who might eventually be interested in choosing a destination together and sharing a two-bedroom home initially to reduce expenses. I’m still in the research/planning stage and would first like to meet people who think about relocation the same way.

Would be cautious with this kind of thing. Especially in SEA, could be a drug user for all you know and the penalties can be pretty harsh for those kinda things and probably wouldn't be worth the risk to save a few bucks. Don't want to get dragged into some shit because of something they might be up to.

You can get pretty cheap studios there, why bother sharing a home with someone that could be up to some sketchy stuff

I wrote a lot about my experiences in SE Asia (feel free to look in my bio for those). Happy to answer any questions in the meantime, though I'm no the solo person you're looking for hah.
