Rant: I stuck with one city for 6 months versus moving every month
The longer stay let me get a real local rate on my apartment in Medellin, about 40% less than the monthly Airbnb price. It also meant I could actually build a routine and get work done. Has anyone else found a sweet spot for how long to stay in one place?

Yeah, saw a blog post that said the three month mark is where you stop feeling like a tourist. Makes sense for getting those local deals too.

Three months might help, but it takes way longer to stop feeling like a tourist. You need to know where the locals actually shop, not just the spots near the main square.

Ever think about the tax headache of moving every month? Six months in one spot lets you actually figure out the local rules without going crazy.
