    1. No true about the cost living in Albania. I am foreigner I live in Tirana. The prices are referring here was 5 years before. Now you need more than 800 euro per month including everything. This amount not include to eat in restaurant. If you have a meal in restaurant you need at least 40 euro including drink like wine.

    2. My dearest all except Albania that I live now I was in Romania also. To live now tight you need more than 1000 euro. That's why I left. Thank you. And as I travel all around the world. I think globalization it's everywhere that means no possible to find country to live less than 800 euro

    3. I'm sorry but I have to say this just because people are moving there from other countries don't get greedy i have heard the same thing about Thailand how things have changed now they are going to lose out on a lot of money and these other countries need to keep their prices the same again stop being "GREEDY".

    4. Oh. I like this girl. But less than 40 seconds in and hearing "less than $100 a week" she may have just lost all credibility with me. What means this may be my last viewing of her. So far she has been pretty accurate on her past videos.

    5. not trying to live anywhere close to russia or places that have had violent/oppressive/soviet/genocidal/muslim/communist/slavery pasts or snow. too many malevolent ghosts. thailand wins!

    6. The U.S. has a Level 3: Reconsider Travel advisory for Nicaragua, urging citizens to rethink travel plans due to risks like arbitrary law enforcement, potential wrongful detention, limited healthcare, and crime, with a specific warning about U.S. nationals being targeted by the government.
