You refuse to be drained by capital. You want the developed-country pay and still hold the line that coffee and sunshine first. Here the easygoing, diverse and cultural life lets you live like a lazy, grounded jazz standard.
Rarely is this balance given; give it priority. Let the calm be your stable energy base, and use it to fund longer-term passion.
