I understand that this video is made for Americans, but as someone from Central-Europe it is interesting to see that this apartment is viewed as being "cheap". :D Sadly, a 680$ apartment is only affordable for high-earning (high-middle income) citizens if they wish to live alone without sharing the place.
@@ricardopalma3714 I know and it's shocking. The USA for me seems one of the best countries to live in if you are rich, and one of the worsts (among first world countries) to live if you are poor. As a physician I would likely have a higher quality of life and a much higher salary for sure in the USA, still I can not speak against my own country (Hungary). I came from a low income family, still I had the chance to study with full governmental scholarship in the best medical school of the country. So I basically got my degree at no extra costs. Beside that they provided me a student shared college dorm room for around 35$/month (no extra cost) that had a gym and free wifi. So I can not complain. Still I don't know which one is the better system. Maybe a perfect system does not exist.
@@davidm7201 the better system would be countries like Canada, Denmark etc. You certainly make a lot of money in the US but life stressors would also be high. Canada has the best of both systems.
@@TwiinStar1224 These prices are hard to compare. Here we have a starting salary of 1200$/month after taxes as a junior medical doctor. So if you take this into consideration, even 680$ is still a high price to pay for only housing.
This reminds me so much of my time abroad. I studied in Spain as an undergrad student, then went back again for a year to work on my master's. Both times were the happiest I'd ever been in life and I cannot wait to relocate permanently in a few years. I plan on going back again this summer for the first time in five years. Only a few more years of sacrifice while working and saving on a teacher salary left. This summer is going to be such a treat! Thank you for sharing and for the inspiration!
Been to Zagreb, Dubrovnik & Split, in 2019. Loved all these cities a lot. Hope one day I will return to spend good 4-5 years of stay. Magical beaches & slow pace of life. It's just the best place in the earth!
I loved Croatia when I was there in 2018. Spent time in both Split and Dubrovnik but preferred Split and would go back in a heartbeat. Loved watching this!
I have a American friend who is writer and researcher and she lives in Zagreb as well. Amazing person. I think you would love to meet her and get her experience with living in Croatia for the past 10 years.
Questions: where do you dry up your clothes? $75 a month for gas seems pricey for two burners and a 700 sq ft place. Why didn’t you choose Kiev instead? How hard is it to get the nomad visa? How much for a bigger place like 1000 sq ft? What is your monthly expenses in Croatia vs New Jersey?? Good video!
I saw the electric washing machine, but I didn't see the dryer. Was that the dryer off of your balcony, the cords of rope hanging over the balcony of your apartment?
Plus, I would say this is the price for the appartment big enough for a family with a kid. A couple or a single person could definitely use something smaller and cheaper, with all the amenities and at great location. And, have in mind, this is the centre itself, he is 100m away from the government. So there are also so many cheaper options just a bit further away.

@@tvs9978 there is a major housing shortage in the Netherlands but in Amsterdam you can get a two bedroom appartement for around €1400-1600 but if you're lucky to have a subsidized appartement its around €700 but that's really hard to come by.
For the people that keep saying Kiev, its not hard to explain why kiev foesnt compare with any croatian city othrr than it wouid b cheaper. Its like saying why not buy a hit dog over a good burger or even a stake. Wake up
