Digital Nomad Life in Kiribati
Summary: Kiribati is not a popular destination for digital nomads. The most popular cities for digital nomads are usually larger cities with a strong digital infrastructure, such as Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Ho Chi Minh City. Digital nomads may be attracted to Kiribati for its remote location and its tropical climate. A digital nomad can live on a monthly budget of around $1,500 in Kiribati. This budget should cover basic living expenses such as accommodation, food, and transportation. The culture of Kiribati is heavily influenced by its Polynesian and Melanesian heritage. The people of Kiribati are known for their hospitality and friendliness. Traditional music and dance are popular forms of entertainment, and the local cuisine is a mix of seafood and tropical fruits.
