Ask HN: Nomadic hacking due to immigration, suggestions for cost-effectiveness
1 point by keerthiko on Sept 9, 2013 | hide | past | favorite
Earlier this year I posted at (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5708206) outlining my situation. Taking a commenter's suggestion, my team has concluded it would be best for me to work remotely for the year until next visa season lets us sort something out.

My problem is that my home country has a government regulated ISP, limiting services like VoIPs (eg: Skype) and VPN tools, besides also being substandard bandwidth/speed. As such, I'm thinking of bouncing between different countries, with my first planned stop in Vancouver, BC, Canada. The concern is the cost associated, since it won't be as cheap as living in my parents' house. I am looking for suggestions to really cut down the total cost of doing something like this. All thoughts, suggestions and questions are welcome!
