I’m starting to settle on the fact that ‘slowmad’ might be the way for me.

Basically, stay in a city for at LEAST 3 months but possibly up to 6.

My thinking is that I land, then spend the first week focused on finding an apartment.

They I buy a TV, desk, office chair, and a bunch of smaller things like towels.

It would be WAY cheaper than a hotel and a much nicer experience.

Then when you leave, you just sell the stuff or hire someone to do it for you.

Curious if anyone takes this approach and if they have any suggestions.

Right now I’m in BKK … and thinking of going down this route.

I will typically Airbnb for the first 2-4 weeks, and then use that time to talk with people and find something better/cheaper.

A lot of times you can even rent the same place directly from the owner outside Airbnb for cash for a lot less.
