Are you tired of the hustle and bustle of city life?

Considered trading in the cubicle and 9-5 grind for a life of adventure and exploration?

Living and working abroad is one of the best ways to live a life of adventure, without sacrificing your career. As the world continues to shift towards remote work, more and more people are looking to explore new opportunities to set up a base outside of their home countries.

We recently wrote about our top unexpected perks of working remote, highlighting the many benefits that come with the freedom to to pick where your office is every day. One of the biggest perks of working remote is you have the ability to work for your dream company, no matter where you’re located. Just because you’re based out of Vancouver, there’s nothing stopping you from working for a company based in NYC, and being paid in US Dollars.

There are lots of benefits to getting paid in USD when working remotely:

• • First, you have the comfort of knowing wherever your next globetrotting destination is, you’ll be able to easily adapt with a widely accepted currency.

• • Second, the USD is a powerful currency, which means that it typically has a higher value than many other currencies. As a result, workers who are paid in USD may be able to get bang for their buck in many countries and are able to stretch their pay further and relocate at a moment's notice.

Ok, so now that you’re sold on some of the many perks of remote work and getting paid in USD, you’re probably ready to pack your bags and book your next adventure – but what are the best places to relocate as a remote worker?

We’re highlighting our top 3 countries to work remote and live your best remote life:

Portugal

Known for its stunning beaches, delicious food, and affordable cost of living, Portugal is a top destination for North American software developers.
