With Nico having just arrived back from Thailand, rejoining Chris in Europe, your favorite hobos cover the good points and bad points of working in SEA for the last 5 months. We all know one can live and work in SEA on a pittance, but what else? What kind of other entrepreneurs are around to hang out with? What’s it like working in a cafe in Ho Chi Minh City? Is being ripped off by locals a real hassle? What if you get ill? Is it all sunshine and coconuts?

A few of the Pros

• Cost of living (taxi, renting stuff, …)
• meeting other hobo entrepreneurs
• weather, lots of sunlight
• not distracted by local politics/issues
• cheap local staffing options
• great food
• cheap health care
• cheap getting to other tropical destinations
• amazing beaches
• easy to have unusual/cultural experiences

And some Cons (some can be reframed as ‘challenges’)

• visa runs and troubles
• no amazon deliveries
• language barrier
• taxi drivers etc. overcharging the foreigners
• having to bargain/haggle (if you wanna shop at markets)
• roads dangerous, traffic, motorbikes
• cockroaches
• high humidity, air pollution
• hygiene issues
• the occasional food poisoning
• Potential Timezone issues
