One Year World nomad experiment in South America
I decided to experiment living in a different country for a month (more or less). The challenge was to stick to my usual monthly budget from Montreal for rent, food, and all the rest. Of course, this didn’t account for the necessary tourist activities that can drain your bank account.
United States
My favorite pocket-sized New York, with a decent hostel right in the historic center. Delightfully spooky at night, especially with the old penitentiary that’s definitely worth a visit.

A beach party utopia with a Art Deco backdrop — glamourous and extravagantly expensive. To avoid during the peak summer months, inexpicably laching shading spots to hide from the treacherous.
Colombia
An intramural colonial town, charming yet packed with tourists, but unbearable in the sweltering heat of July and August.
The perfect hideout from the climate change madness. The ideal spring weather year-round in this unique linear city surrounded by mountains with stunning rooftop views.
Skip the mosquitos and the sunburns for a culture bath in this high-altitude capital, boasting in universities. Rent a public bike and ride the extensive network closed to cars each sunday mornings during ciclovia.
Brazil
A secluded colonial town where every road goes either uphill or downhill
