Baku🇦🇿

Baku offers serious bang for your buck. You can snag a decent 1-bedroom in the city center for around $450, or $280 outside, making it genuinely affordable. A cheap meal is $4, mid-range for two is $14, and groceries are a modest $180/month. This city is ideal for budget-conscious nomads or those starting their remote journey. Internet speeds are respectable at 50 Mbps, and with 8 coworking spaces, the infrastructure supports remote work, even if the English proficiency is low. Safety is good (index 72) and healthcare adequate. The climate is pleasant too. However, don't expect a bustling nomad scene; the community is small. Be ready for a cultural immersion where English isn't widely spoken, which can be an adventure or a hurdle depending on your outlook.
