Detailed Guide + Cost of living in Aruba: Nomads in Paradise
Staying for a month in paradise on a Caribbean island costs tens of thousands of dollars right? We assumed it can only be affordable for 5 days or 10 days max unless you are a gazillionaire and it’s probably only worth it for a special occasion like a honeymoon. We never heard of any digital nomads or slow travelers going there, so it must not be practical. Well we have some good news for you, it is very doable and can be cheaper than staying at home! Are you ready to go explore Aruba?

Cost of our nomad living in San Miguel de Allende
After having such a great time in Oaxaca City where we felt we experienced for the first time what authentic Mexico is, we spent 4 weeks in San Miguel de Allende (SMA) as our last leg of our 100+ days trip to Mexico. While Oaxaca City set the bar pretty high on so many fronts, SMA turned out to be our favorite place of all the places we explored in Mexico and one we are planning on coming back to.
