RVers and International Travel
Since you have chosen the RVing lifestyle (or you're thinking about it), I assume part of the reason is that you love the freedom it gives you.
When you get rid of most of your stuff and hit the road, it's a feeling of freedom that you probably haven't felt since you were a teenager. As an RVer, you have even more freedom than you thought you had.
Freedom to travel the world
As an RVer, you are free to travel the world, and you can do it for less money than it costs you to stay in campgrounds. You can store your RV for $30 to $50 a month, cancel your collision insurance, travel to some foreign country, rent an apartment for a month or two for $400 to $500 a month, and live for less than it costs you to live in an RV park.
The key to living inexpensively in a foreign country is to not be paying living expenses back home and being a temporary resident and not a tourist while you're there. Whether you're a tourist or a temporary resident is not based on some paperwork you fill out. It's a state of mind.
If you eat out all the time, do all of the tourist things, and see all of the tourist sights, you will spend money like a tourist.
But if you live like a resident, cook most of your meals in your rented apartment, and when you do eat out, you only eat in the little mom and pop cafes where the locals eat, you will enjoy and experience the place you're visiting a lot more and for way less money.
Stay for a month--not a week
If you only stay somewhere for a week or two, you will be a tourist. You will never relax and experience the local lifestyle. In most places, you can rent an apartment for a month for about what it would cost you to stay in a hotel for a week.
I like to stay in a country for three or four months when I visit. The good news is that the longer I stay, the more money I'm saving since apartment rental is cheaper than campground rental. Food is cheaper, and I'm not buying anything from Amazon.
A little cafe beside the road
Below is a picture of a little cafe where I had lunch yesterday. There were no walls, and there was gravel on the floor. A lot of restaurants in Costa Rica don't have walls. It was clean. It was a family-owned business. The owner was the cook. Her daughter was the waitress, and her son washed the dishes.
I had a pork chop with onions, rice, black beans, fried plantains, a salad, drinks, and mango pudding for dessert. The cost of the meal, including tax and the tip, was $6 even. The food was delicious.
After lunch, I spent some time walking on the beach shown in the picture below. It was a quiet and relaxing place to be. It was like most of the beaches here. I walked down a path through the jungle to the beach. Like most beaches here, there was nothing built on the beach. In most areas, nothing is allowed to be built near a beach.
I was being a temporary resident and not a tourist.
By the way, the picture at the top of the page was taken at a park in town, and it was a place for tourists, but I didn't spend much time there.
Bottom line: You may not have considered it, but as an RVer, you are free to travel to interesting places in the world, and you can do it for less than you're spending living in your RV. It's part of the freedom you have when you're living the RVing lifestyle. If you need to relax and clear your mind, consider living in a foreign country for a few months. As an RVer, you're free to do it.
