Who /writerabroad/ here?
Anybody else here used airbnb to find a cheap apartment to rent and write in for a few months?
I'm currently packing my bags to go live in Fontgombault, France for six months in order to focus on completing my first novel.

How much do you pay for it
>>8403607
I pay 200 euros a month (225 dollars) including most utilities (I wanted faster internet which cost me 15 euros more. Groceries are cheap and there are so many elderly people here growing vegetables and fruit that I often get stuff left on my doorstep. It's a great life, honestly. Pretty distant from any major town and that feeling when no girlfriend, but other than that I spend my time cycling around, reading and writing.

That's quite cheap, but how do you support yourself for such a long vacation.
>>8403840
Only needs like 3k to do it. Probably less.

Savings from full-time work. I'll have to return to wagecuckery eventually, but still it's nice to rest and focus on myself for a while.
I might go spend a few months in Copenhagen, writing a book about a guy who falls for a lesbian called Jasmine haha

I'm in Panama in one of the areas built by the Americans back in the day during the occupation, really green and somewhat far away from the city.
Rent a room for 450 and have an awesome patio where I see all types of weird animals and plants around. A really good place for writing.
Amtrak has a writer's residency where you get to ride their trains long distance for free so long as you write about your experiences. Someone who did it back in 2013 got their writing published in The Paris Review.
So I mean it's technically a writer abroad thing.
Nothing but yuppy garb desu

I've been thinking about finding a cottage in Norway in order to finally just get away and study Knausgaard. Anyone know of anywhere?

Norwegian house prices are through the roof, plus even if it's low rent you'll be paying out of your house for utilities during the cold weather.

>it's impossible for a lower class prole to save up a few thousand dollars to spend a few months renting a room in some French town.

You should check out workaway if you're not completely anti-social. A lot of nice Farms and countryside houses that you could probably work on for 5 hours a day or less and spend the rest writing.
Why are we getting astroturfed on fucking /lit/ of all places?
