I live in a dirt-cheap country and I find it hard to believe that you can survive on $400/month. Do you take a trip back home? Do you factor in the price of your laptop/phone? Does this include clothes/medical expenses? Also, what country are you living in?
I don't take trips back home, I don't have a phone, I don't have health insurance, I have one pair of clothes and gym clothes. I have an 10 year old x200 ThinkPad that cost $90. It's very fast, I use Arch Linux+Libreboot+Vim. I've live in Ukraine, Moldova, Macedonia, Romania and Serbia. Normally I stay in Ukraine or Moldova though.
My expenses are between $150-250 for housing (I live in youth hostels or Airbnb, I travel with my brother and a friend so we split the cost), $165 for food, and ~$20 for the gym.
I can't speak any language other than English. I've never had any issues. You can generally get what you mean across by pointing and/or shaking your head
I've never found myself interesting enough to start a blog. I might write a post on what I've been doing/how to survive as a 'digital nomad'. I think I'm in a unique situation since I've been doing this since I was 18. I was inspired by https://levels.io/eighteen/, but I know when I made the decision I wish there was more info/people talking about how they do it
