This is Dan from Vagabond Buddha. People hear all the time how cheap the cost of living is in some parts of the world. I have been traveling around the world for 11 years now. I have been to 65 countries so far in my life. I decided to collect data and give you examples of the cost of living as I travel.

Here is my list of the ==>best live-cheap in paradise locations<== in the world.

I just finished 2 weeks living in a suburb of Lima called Barranco. I am traveling through South America presently.

Here are my estimated costs of living one month in Lima, Peru as a temporary visitor.

Grab a ==>free copy of my Ebook<== if you would like to learn my secrets of how to live-cheap all of the world while you make money on your laptop. After 65 countries and 12 years, I have learned a trick or two.

Some of the estimates could be reduced. For example, if you rented a furnished apartment by the month, it could be cheaper. Or, you could get a nicer place for the same amount of money. These expenses are based upon the Barranco area of Lima. You can rent a furnished 1 bedroom apartment in Barranco ranging from s/1000 to s/2400 per month depending on how nice and how close to the ocean or central Barranco you want to be.

For more information about how the above “Cost of Living Monthly Multiplier” works, please visit the bottom of this page at Vagabond Buddha. The above table does not include alcohol, excursions, or extras, and it is for one person. These costs are based upon eating outside your accommodations twice a day. If you stay in the Airbnb apartment, you might be able to save money cooking more. But that depends on what you cook and whether you would otherwise eat in Food Carts, Neighborhood Restaurants, or High-end restaurants. Some of the expenses remain unchanged when you add another person. I am not guaranteeing anything. These are just my notes from my personal travel.

I am not offering you these prices. These are just my notes and estimates from the time of my visit and this post. Your costs will likely be drastically different if significant inflation or deflation occurs or the market changes after this post. I will not update these numbers until I am on the ground again here, if ever.
