Hey my fellow "poor full-time Steemian" :D That´s exactly how I feel these days :D Anyway, you made tons of very valid points in the article, as usually ;) Dan @world-travel-pro has a great term for the lifestyle you seem to be trying now in Romania, its his legendary concept of "pay-less-get-more" - I am sure you have seen it on his blog if you follow him regularly ;)

Being a digital nomad for the past few years, I have also tried living at a couple of difference places and so far, Mexico was the best for me. But South-Eastern Europe might be an interesting choice too. Btw are you on the Steem chat or somewhere so that I can contact you privately? I might have some questions about living the life of an expat in Romania.

Btw 2 - don´t feel bad about selling some of your hard-earned Steem. If you want to be steeming full time, you need to cash out sometimes to cover your expenses of course... I haven´t powered down yet (and I am not gonna do that anytime soon) but I have already sold some of the Steem (SBD in the past) that I have earned here. We all need to live out of something, no matter how cheap place we are based at.

I am really happy to see more and more people trying to go for their dreams, against all the social norms and expectations. I love the last statement of your post. Good luck my friend!
