9. Portugal

If you’re seeking for something cheaper, but equally stunning, Portugal is the place to go. You will get to enjoy both – its unique culture and affordable living conditions.

According to ILM, “sights like terracotta roofs topping white-washed cottages, aromas of fragrant wildflowers or your neighbor’s grilled chicken on an outdoor barbeque (churrasqueita), and the sounds of crashing ocean surf” are just a few of amazing things you’ll get to explore in Portugal.

If you’ll choose to stay at one of its smaller cities, you can expect to pay as little as $375/ month for a one-bedroom apartment. Obviously, the price could reach about $1,000 a month in cities like Lisbon.

If you’re concerned about your Portuguese skills, make sure to attend a few classes before you go. In larger cities, you’ll be able to find many medical professionals who speak English, but be careful in smaller towns.
