Perfect, great article too 🙂

Hi Felipe,
First of all thanks for your kind words!
Secondly, you have a great question, to which of course there’s no easy answer. I would be inclined to try to stay longer than a month in each place, to build in a bit more flexibility. And of course, please check out my article/resource full of different ways/sites to book monthly accommodation! I use it all the time myself – I hope it’s helpful for you: https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/how-to-book-monthly-digital-nomad-accommodation-alternatives-to-airbnb/

I’ve a question regarding slow travel.. Any tips on how we could keep some sort of flexibility regarding the amount of time spent at a place since is usually recommended booking accommodation as soon as possible to guarantee best rates and abundance of options? (for example, with a goal of spending 1 month in each capital of Latin America – by the time I’d get to a place I’d have to already start booking accommodation for the following month in the new city.. then hindering the flexibility of staying a bit more or cutting short my time there).. not sure if there’s much a way around that, just something I’ve been wondering.
Thanks,

Amen to that, Ryan! Spending money is great for local economies too.

I have a colleague who says he never sweats any expense under $10. While I certainly consider every dollar I spend (and whether the result of spending it brings me joy – Marie Kondo style!), I tend to agree that squeezing every penny until it screams isn’t a great way to travel. What’s the point in even being on the road if you have to live like a bum?

Hi Alejandra,
A great reminder to remember to enjoy everything we spend, even if we are tracking these expenses! I always suggest to track spending without judgement. Not always easy….

I couldn’t agree with you more, Susan! The first step to creating any budget is to know what your starting point is, and that means tracking your expenses and understanding where your money is going. Only with that baseline established, can we figure out where to tweak our budgets as necessary.
