I've worked remotely abroad since 2016. I'm never going back to Canada because life overseas is so much more affordable.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Peggy Bree Tam, 30, about her experience leaving her hometown of Toronto, Canada, to pursue a digital nomad lifestyle. Tam, a project manager, currently lives in Santa Marta, Colombia, and has no intentions of moving back to Canada. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
I've been working remotely full-time as a project manager for eight months or so. I've found that working nine-to-five for a company is pretty great. I don't have to constantly go out and hustle. Everything is set — I have benefits and my laptop is provided. I have a condo in Toronto that I'm renting out to a tenant, but there's no way I'd be able to live there and have savings with all of the living expenses that come from Toronto's pricing. There's just no way.
Obviously I have property in Canada, but when I think about being able to afford the lifestyle that I live now in the future — based on the income that I'm currently making — I would not be able to match it in Canada.I pay about CAD$600 to CAD$700 a month for my apartment in Santa Marta. It's a pretty good sized space. There's two bedrooms, and I have a living room and a kitchen.
Because I'm able to afford my living expenses and my food, it makes everything else so enjoyable. I can go on weekend trips and not break my budget.
