Freelancing around the globe
Travelling and freelancing can be like a match made in heaven if
it’s done right. Experiencing different cultures, broadening
your horizon and never having a dull moment as you travel
around the world may sound just a little too good to be true,
but it is definitely possible as a freelancer.
Picking out the cities you visit and live in is not a task that should
be taken lightly. Finding just the right mix of affordability,
networking opportunities, good weather and any other
aspects you might consider requires extensive research. To
give you a little nudge and set you on the right track, we
made this list of five cities that you should definitely consider
if you want to be a globetrotting freelancer.

1) Chiang Mai, Thailand
With its 160,000 citizens, Chiang Mai is the most important
city in northern Thailand and a sprawling freelance hub. It
is very much on the lower end of the cost scale – a month
there will be roughly $600. This estimate, as all others in
the article include a hotel, hostel or apartment in the city
plus three meals a day. Definitely a city to consider for
those of you who love sunny weather, with average
temperatures of around 26 °C (75° F). Internet connectivity
is good at an average of 20 Mbps.

2) Prague, Czech Republic
Next stop central Europe. If you’ve never been to Prague, it is
absolutely a destination to recommend, for both work and
travel. This beautiful city will be a bit more taxing on your
finances, with a rough estimate of $1100 which may vary a
lot depending on accommodation and eating habits.
Internet connectivity is amongst the highest from this list
and the great air quality and the absolutely mesmerizing
scenery put the cherry on the cake.

3) Taipei, Taiwan
Our next journey leads us to the wonderful island known as
Taiwan and its capital Taipei. Here you will find an
incredible mix of traditional Chinese and Japanese culture
with influences of Confucianist beliefs and Western values.
If you’re interested in that, Taipei should be on top of your
list. It will cost you a pretty penny though, with a monthly
estimate of about $2000 which can, again, vary a lot. Warm
weather and great internet connectivity wrap it up for
Taiwan’s capital.

4) Bangalore, India
Next off we will be flying over to India and the capital of the
Karnaka state, Bangalore. With 8.4 million it is the second
biggest city in the list and something you should look into if
you’re more the metropolitan type. Known as the Silicon
Valley of India, this city has a lot to offer if you’re doing
anything connected with technology. It is also the cheapest
destination on our list, hovering slightly below $600 a
month. It has a pleasantly warm climate all year long.
Bangalore is definitely a city worth being number 1 on our
list, but the slow internet speed averaging around 5 Mbps
can be off-putting to freelancers who like to always be
connected on the move.

7. 26.01.2015 info@freelancermap.com© freelancermap.com
5) Buenos Aires, Argentina
And finally we set off to South America and its second-largest
metropolitan area. Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina
has a staggering amount of people living in it – 15.5 million.
It is extremely culturally rich. The sheer number of
festivals, concerts and theater plays in Buenos Aires place it
amongst the top in the world. That does come at a price,
however. You can expect to pay around $1,700 monthly
and the air pollution is highest here, compared to the other
cities on our list so keep that in mind.
