go to thailand. if you are a white guy, they love whities there. if you go to bars and clubs, the women there will approach you. the country is fairly modern, so i wouldn't call it a 3rd world country. cost of living is not very high either.

I'd avoid Thai women at bars and clubs; they're not there to find lovers as much as they're looking for sugar daddies.  Otherwise I've been considering Thailand myself, only thing I'd hate is having to go back and forth between nations due to their immigration laws.

I noticed this. Going some place to just work on the Internet does not really fall into a typical immigration scenario.

Most countries are expecting people who are old enough to retire, or someone who is going to work in that country.

another place to consider: the phillippine islands. you probably won't find many other non-western countries that have as big a population that speaks english, ladies all over, and beaches to the north, south, west, and east.

i hear in certain corners it can be quite dangerous though.

renounce your citizenship and go and join with one of the Caribbean tax havens? Tongue that said I hear it's gotten really expensive to remove citizenship in the U.S.

I do not plan on renouncing my citizenship. I still ignorantly hold out some hope that the people may come to their senses.

I looked at Thailand, I only looked briefly but the rental prices were not much different from my home town $600-$1200/month on average. Though I was looking on craigslist in English which likely preys on Americans.

i've never rented there, but no way rent costs that much. i don't know much about rent there, but this link says $400 for a 2 bed 2 bath place http://internationalliving.com/2013/03/rent-in-thailand-from-400-a-month/

food there is really cheap, about $2-$2.50 a meal too.

he could live the bachelor lifestyle.. i'm not saying he should settle down with a thai woman. i don't know that much about their visa laws, but i know there are a lot of foreigners and whities living there, so it shouldn't be that much of a hassle.

When I leave Afghanistan I will likely be leaving my steady job and working on Bitcoin projects full time. But I do not plan on living in the US after I return.

Ideally I would like a place where I can just live in a small place on a beach with Internet connection for a few hundred bucks a month.

I'm even fine with just being international and living in a new place every 6 months or so.

Or maybe even a Bitcoin hub like silicon valley for Bitcoin (I know Berlin has a lot of buzz, that is certainly an option).
