When you’re choosing a neighborhood, prioritize walkability, access to markets, and quiet evenings – think central plazas for social life or quieter residential streets near parks. Use a simple budgeting framework: set envelopes for housing, food, transport, and leisure, then adjust monthly as you feel the seasons shift. In Artigas you’ll find seasonal variations in outdoor activities and demand for accommodations around holidays or events, so build flexibility into your plan. For everyday savings, buy in bulk at markets, walk or bike where possible, and compare cafe Wi-Fi options before committing to a fixed coworking pass. Tip: trial a few neighborhoods during different weeks to test pace and safety.
