Can you imagine living on a beach, in a bigger house, with more disposable income and more free time, doing work you enjoy? Julia Vitality, the guest on this week's episode, says stop dreaming--make this your reality. Julia and others like her are using a strategy called geoarbitrage: lowering their cost of living, usually by moving to a different town or country, to make their incomes go further. Julia -- a Ukranian-Canadian now living in Cancun, Mexico -- shares her fascinating life story, along with practical strategies and plenty of inspiration for anyone flirting with the idea of making a life change.
In this episode:

  • 01:10 Definition of geoarbitrage
  • 01:58 Why Julz decided to use this strategy; some of her background
  • 05:12 Comparing living costs in Toronto vs. Cancun, Mexico
  • 08:53 Things to consider before moving
  • 11:12 Language issues (or lack thereof!)
  • 13:43 Taking on such an adventure as a single person
  • 19:08 Working in a foreign country
  • 24:17 Getting rid of unneeded "stuff"
  • 26:32 Medical system in Mexico
