Struggling to decide where to live overseas or where to go first? In episode 123 of Badass Digital Nomads, Kristin shares her strategy for how to choose the best place to live for your budget, lifestyle, and goals.

You'll also hear her take on the Top 10 Best Places in the World, along with her candid opinion and pros and cons of each one. You’ll learn about the world’s best locations for quality of life, cost of living, taxes, and more. 

Regardless of whether you’re retiring at age 65 or 35 (shoutout to all the F.I.R.E. folks), or if you just want to live abroad short-term, this episode will provide you with practical tips and tools for how to decide which city or country to relocate to.

Retirement looks different for everyone because each of us has unique needs and lifestyles. You don’t have to pick a location from this list. In fact, there’s a chance none of them could be your ideal destination, but by using these tips and insights, you’ll be able to figure out the retirement location(s) that could be best for you. 

“Life's too short to compromise on a destination.” - Kristin
