What actually changed this month

Route updates, gear that's earning its pack weight, and the honest numbers on what this is costing and earning — the same things a Country Guide covers, just lived first.

One Scorecard, built for wherever you are.

Cost, healthcare, visas, connectivity, safety, climate — the same topics whether you're scouting a year abroad now or a retirement later. What changes is the weighting, not the topics.
